I remember how gracious Mr. Burns was during my senior year. Melissa and I shared rides. I (was in a hiurry(per usual)). I sent our Ford Fairlane into their ditch. While I began to panic he came out calmly and said he thought he could pull me out and he did. He became my hero.

When my family lived in Burton Addition in Orange, Texas (I now reside in Idaho) we felt blessed to have the Burns family as part of the Burton addition neighborhood and always cherished their friendship. We loved and revered the entire Burns family and early in years we often were blessed to have some of the Burns girls babysit our young children. We are saddened and grieved for the family at learning of their tragic loss of Ann and Basil. They will definitely be included in my prayers for the family to be surrounded with God's comfort during their time of grief. I will always hold dear so many sweet memories of the Burns family girls and the family's treasured friendship. To Stephanie, Christy, Candace, Melissa, and Jennifer....please know I will forever have beautiful memories of your wonderful family! I lovve all of you, Diane (Fuller) Herndon
