God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me."

To The Edwards and Burwell Families, what a "VIRTUOUS WOMAN" was Mrs. Burwell. A job well done. Praying for you all.
To the beautiful woman that welcomed me with open arms on our 1st and only meeting, i thank you! You will be missed. I know that if heaven had a phone I could hear you say "how's Mike doing, tell him I said hey, when you called. Rest in peace
Love, Mike
Aunt Carol my heart is saddened on today knowing I just hugged and kissed you last week. Your presence is already being missed in abundance by our family. I know that you are in a better place and there is no more pain. God had another angel entering into his gates when he welcomed you. I will love you always. Rest in heavenly peace. Love, Dell
My deepest condolences to the Burwell family during this time. Your mother/grandmother was such a kind, sweet, and gentle soul, and I feel truly blessed to have known her. She always carried herself with quiet grace, and her warmth will never be forgotten.
I will always cherish the memories I have of her—especially the love she shared through her cooking. Every time I make sweet potato pies, I will think of her and the special recipe she trusted me with. That is something I will hold close to my heart and continue in her honor.
May her beautiful spirit live on through all the lives she touched. Praying for comfort, strength, and peace for your family during this difficult time.
Alma and family, Harold and I send our condolences and prayers at the passing of your dear mother.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
