Norma & Family
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Chris & Carol Clifton
My family wish to add our condolences to the list.
I grew up with Burt and his siblings and experienced many of life’s challenges with them.
We laughed together and cried together too.
Norma, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
We share the comfort of the gospel of Jesus Christ which teaches us that Burt is in the company of his parents and two brothers and others who he loved.
My deepest condolences to the entire family. Am glad you all were able to be together at the wedding.
Sincerely,
Amy Hollman
