Dear Irene
I deeply convey my condolences to you at the loss of your dear mom. I remember how diligently you schedule her care at home while you were working and problem solve when there are emergency care coverage situations. Your mom fought a good race and she is going to her crown from above. 2Timothy 4:7. I was deeply inspired by your dad and mom’ s story and testimony. Surely you have been a great blessing in your mom’s life and I believe same with hers
With love and prayers

Good long life well lived. Well remembered and much loved. All those trips to the FARM, bringing baskets of Cherries or Peaches. Visits to Baba and Dedo on Concord Ave. Always with "ice cream money" or coffee crisp chocolate bars.
Last of that group. End of an Era.

Peace...... Ralph & Maria Burrows.
