Aunt Burda was a beautiful woman. She was so kind and caring. She will live on in our memories. I am praying for her family.
Much love to all of you. I’m so sorry for your
Loss.
All of us at Mobile Meals are sending our thoughts and prayers.
On a personal note , just wanted to tell a little thing I remember. I didn ‘t get to deliver meals often to your folks but the first time I did , I talked to your Mom about her Boyd Bears that she had on the mantel. She enjoyed telling me about them. Whenever I would come back she would ask me what new pieces I had added to my collection.
May your memories help you thru this time of grief. Susan Lucas
