Aunt Joyce and family, I am sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. I know this is a tremendous loss to you all. Growing up, I always thought of Uncle Bill and Aunt Joyce as my "real" uncle and aunt - did not understand until I got older that Uncle Bill had just been my dad's best friends - close enough to be brothers and far enough apart to be closer than brothers..... I have many fond memories of my childhood and visiting with your family. I am still so appreciative of all the love and support given to my dad and our family - both during his illness and even at the funeral. Love to you all. I hope that soon you can smile with the many happy memories that I know you have. Love, Cindy (Russell) Henley

Oh, goodness, what to say to friends who were family, whom we called "Uncle and Aunt". "Thanks for the memories!" (Bob Hope) Fill in the blanks with our own lives, on the river, at Christmas, at ... Love to you all with hugs and kisses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKgUq5dziEk Thanks for the memory Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes Motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes How lovely it was Thanks for the memory Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine The Parthenon, and moments on the Hudson River line How lovely it was Many's the time that we feasted And many's the time that we fasted Oh well, it was swell while it lasted We did have fun, and no harm done So thanks for the memory Of crap games on the floor, nights in Singapore You might have been a headache, but you never were a bore I thank you so much Thanks for the memory Of China's funny walls, transatlantic calls That weekend at Niagara when we hardly saw the falls How lovely that was Thanks for the memory Of lunch from twelve to four, sunburn at the shore That pair of gay pajamas that you bought and never wore Say, by the way, what did happen to those pajamas? Letters with sweet little secrets That couldn't be put in a day wire image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif Too bad it all had to go haywire That's life, I guess, I love your dress Do you? Thanks for the memory Of faults that you forgave, rainbows on a wave And stockings in the basin when a fellow needs a shave I thank you so much Thanks for the memory Of Gardens at Versailles, and beef and kidney pie The night you worked and then came home with lipstick on your tie How lovely that was Thanks for the memory Of lingerie with lace, and Pilsner by the case And how I jumped the day you trumped my one and only ace How lovely that was We said goodbye with a highball And I got as high as a steeple But we were intelligent people No tears, no fuss, hooray for us Strictly entre nous, darling, how are you? And how are all those little dreams that never did come true? Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, tootle-oo Thank you, thank you

My deepest sympathies to the family. Please know Mr. Burton as well as the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. With love and prayers, Anne LeBlanc Cameron LNG

You can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all he's left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he's gone or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Joe & Nina Maddox Orange, TX

Dear family, may these promises from the Bible bring you comfort in this time of sorrow. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are discouraged. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace be with you.
