Dear Mary and Ian,
 I was very sad and sorry when I heard of Burton's passing. I have many enjoyable memories spending time with Burton and our other friends going on our fishing trips. I always looked foward to any barn fire get-together that you guys would put together. I will miss Burton and his Burtonism's. Please take care.

Dear Ian, Mother and family,  It is so hard to find the words to express my feelings of sympathy to you.  Your Dad was a great father and I know you have so many wonderful memories to keep close to you, to remember in times to come.  My prayers are with you all. 
Love, Miss Kaylor.  I may have to work on Sat. morning, but my prayers and thoughts will be with all of you.


Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow. Having recently met Burton on a business trip, I was shocked to hear of his passing. May you take comfort in knowing that he is watching over all of you. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mary & Ian,
I am with you in my heart and prayers. We as friends and colleagues are/and have suffered your pain ourselves; but we will come through this test that God has given you and Ian. You will hate God; Anger; Wonder Why; but we do not know His ultimate plan for any of us.  So, focus on Ian and where you both go from this day forward, as your husband would want you to do. 
I'm always there for you, just dial 911 Cindy!
Love you!


May Jesus bless your family with peace at this time.
Peace and all good,
Mr. George R. Garbrick
