Mrs. Burgess, may she rest well until that glorious day of His triumphant return.
Mrs. Burgess was beautiful soul. She always had a warm smile and welcoming spirit. She will be dearly missed. She touched so many lives. Her love lives on in those who knew her. God's grace and peace be with you now and in the days you need it most. 🙏🏾
My condolences to Carol and the Burgess family. I am praying for strength and peace during your time of bereavement. I remember Mama Burgess for her strong voice and her smile. I didn't have a lot of interactions with her, but the few I had were pleasant. Rest on Mama B.
