Brother Burch was a faithful member for many years at my local church and will be missed by many. He had an amazing voice and I will miss him in song.
You always made me laugh and wanted something to eat. I am glad you're not suffering/ hurting anymore. Rest my friend, take your rest..... you served God well! Miss you
Fred, you will be missed. I will cherish the memories of you all decked out in those brightly colored suits that you wore so well! And, of course, I will have a smile when I think about how much you loved to TALK!! Now it is time for you to take your rest. Well done, faithful servant of the Most High God! May God comfort your family and friends during this time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Take your rest, my friend! I am lighting a red candle in memory of that red suit and hat you used to wear! You had all the ladies asking, "Who is that?" I admit you did wear it well! You will really be missed, but I take comfort in knowing that you are in the presence of the Almighty God! Rest in Heaven, Soldier! 🙏🏽
