Sending my love to my Burns cousins. Aunt Betty was a special woman.
Praying for the entire Burns clan. Betty was a special lady and a loving Aunt! I’m sure her reunion with Uncle Don and Tommy will be very special. Gaye & I so appreciated Bette and Don for their love, support and hospitality. A big virtual hug from the Jones familty for all of you
We wish we could be in Chicago with all of you! We remember many many get togethers which happened on many of our travels back to the homeland, Chicago… Please know we are thinking about you and Aunt Betty… Someday soon, I hope, we can raise a glass to Aunt Betty together in the same room…
Love and prayers, Rel, Jeremia, Faye, Benjamin, Matt and Mikaela…
