Glenda and Family, I just want to let you know that you are all in my prayers. The lord has called Burton home, but you are left with so many wonderful memories, and those cannot be taken from you. Hugs to all.
Dearest Glenda and family, We are praising God for His abundant mercies. One if His chosen sons has come home. He shared him with you and your beautiful family for many blessed years, the good, the not so good; the peaceful and not so peaceful depending on the time in your history. But always exciting as was Burton’s style and personality. Thanks for sharing him with friends like us who treasure having know him as a friend. He was a great story teller, not to mention story creator. We send our love to you, his “the old gray mare” and all those who touch your heart. May your loving memories and God’s perfect peace bring you comfort and joy in knowing you will meet again. We love you, Jene McPhaul, and daughters Scharee, Terrie and Vonni
