Dear Burnside family, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I am the daughter of Ted and Helen Burrows. My mom and dad thought so much of your parents, they did so much for my mom and dad before their passing. I think they are having a great reunion with your dad and lots of hugs are going on. These are sad times but joyous times also.

Aunt Gwen and Family, we were sad to hear of Uncle Allens passing. So many memories of him at your home in Taylorsville and in Moroni at Grandpa and Grandma Irons. A fond memory was he and my dad helping me shop for my first auto purchase at 19. He was so funny and we will remember him esp he and my dad´s relationship, hunting dogs and doing things with family/cousins. You will all be in my heart and prayers. Love you all!

Uncle Allen was the man who started me on my Hunting adventure. At 12 old he would take me down to Mt. Pleasant to hunt pheasants what a great time we had with our Brittany spaniel Yogi and bugs. Later in start me hunting deer, what a grand time we had. Then we worked together at Milibe truck line on the dock. My Dad loved his younger brother and told me often what a good man he is. He could make you laugh like no other and told story you could listen to for ever. I'm sure his parents and brothers and sisters are together laughing now. Gwen , may God be with you and your family.
