Aldenia, Pam, Kammie and the Entire Burd Family:
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning!".
I know your hearts are heavy,
but you are not alone.
The Holy Spirit is always with you
to comfort and keep you strong.
Draw strength from those around you-
Your family members, neighbors and friends.
While allowing your memories of Shirley to sustain you-
Until you see her again.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Know that if God brought you to it, HE WILL bring you through it! So, Be strong! Be encouraged! Be faithful! Be blessed!
