The Burns family has lost 3 and gained one.
Patrick Thomas Burns, son of Ann Mary O'Connell and George F. Burns, died on June 23, 2012.
Anita F. Wood Burns, wife of John G. Burns died February 20, 2013. My dad, Richard G. Burns, died February 28, 2013.
Whew!
When you read in an obituary, "will be sadly missed", it is so true.
I liked to hear the stories of Uncle Pat baking cookies and giving them to people whether they liked it or not.
If you had to pick only one word to describe Nita, it would be "hospitality". Or gracious. Or faith-filled.
Besides being in the Burns family, being faith-filled people is one thing they all had in common. There is no doubt that faith and family were most important to all three--and probably it is safe to say in that order.
Yesterday was a tough day and a wonderful day. We celebrated the marriage of Daniel Blaise Burns and Rachel Ann Rother. It had to be a bittersweet day! If we believe in the communion of saints, we are all one and together no matter our state.
Congratulations to Dan and Rachel. Thanks for putting a bright spot in this long year and long winter! The sun shone, too! You must have had someone pulling for you!
