Linda, how sorry we were to hear about Burt leaving us all. We loved him and Ruth so very much. They were such a special couple and had a fairy tale love from the beginning. How blessed we were to have them in our lives and to have known their kindness. We will keep you and your family in our hearts and prayers. Love, Phyllis and Jim
I’m so glad Bill and I got to see your Dad last week. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take comfort that your parents are together again in a beautiful place.
Linda and family. May you be comforted after losing both your parents so close. Lean on the Lord and He will help you. Prayers for you and your family.
Linda And Family,
Burt & Ruth will be missed. They were wonderful friends. Always upbeat and with a great since of humor. May our Lord bless you during these days and the joy of your dad and mom will bring great joy to you as you recall fond memory of being their daughter.
We are very sorry to hear of Burt’s passing. He was sure a good friend to us for 16 years when we were in Texas. He’ll be missed by a good many folks in Southern Comfort.
We celebrate their lives and are joyous for the time we were able to spend with them both. God Bless them and receive them into his Kingdom.
