I want to express my condolences to the Burtchell family. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one and a mother. Mrs. Burtchell was such a nice lady and just one of the many neighborhood mothers who helped keep me in line. Especially when Terry and I were running wild as kids. I know she will be missed but I also know the impact she had on your lives and that will live forever.
