Condolences to the Burney Family Gregory a great SOLDIER who served our country was full of life a Gentleman who walked very quietly. He was also a great dresser with a great smile! Yes a limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that say, "Grieve not for me". Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs. The good life I lived while I was strong. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. Yes, loved ones may leave this world but they will never leave our HEARTS.
