Condolences to the Burton Family (Bobby, Ernestine, and Ronnie). My husband and I used to visit Mr. and Mrs. Burton before she/he passed and both were a pleasure to talk to especially Mrs. Burton and her cooking and Mr. Burton about fishing. My husband missed seeing him ride the bus but we took fish them because he said that he loved fish. With the way this world is now, it's hard to find nice, genuine people but when you do, take advantage of the opportunity to speak with them, get to know them. The Burton's both enjoyed talking about the Bible, that was one of our greatest highlights in our visit. "Gone but not forgotten" and looking forward to the time when we can see them again in the New World that God has promised. Michael & Felicia Bond
