Messages of Condolence

Our condolences to Eileen's family and those close to her. Marilyn is our sister-in-law and we know how saddened she is at losing a second sister so suddenly. From what we know of the Burt family, their love and compassion for each other over so many years is a bond that can't be broken. May they draw on each other for support at this time and grieve for Eileen together. God bless them all.
