    A beautiful woman both inside and out. She loved and cared for many. She will always be remembered as a special part of my childhood memories. Her lifetime friendship to my mother meant the world to all of us. She will be truly missed. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

    Mr. and Mrs. Burns have been wonderful and caring “across the street” neighbors for years to my daughter and three grandchildren. Mrs. Burns was someone my daughter could and did turn to often when she needed support and advice. We all shared a love for Dachshunds, and I know that Mrs. Burns is now with her Father in Heaven and surrounded by a pack of Sams. I am grateful for her life and for knowing her. My sincere condolences to Mr. Burns and all the family. Sarah
