I have sweet memories of Mrs. Burba as a fellow LaRue County educator and special friend when Mary Ellen and I brought Communion to her and others at Robinbrook Assisted Living. The world is a better place for having had Mrs. Burba as a beautiful soul, human, and all that is good. My deepest sympathies to her fine family. I regret that I could not attend services for her.
