Condolence From: Larry Burkhart
Condolence: My dear father and friend, time may pass but the void I feel from the physical loss of your presence will never be filled. I will move forward with the many things in life you taught me both in words and example, I have told many people in the last couple of days that being blessed with such good parents as you and mom is all the proof I need to know there truly is a God....and now you are both gone. I take comfort in knowing you are together again and that if God blesses me once more I will join you in your eternal life. Thank you for the extended helping hand that was always there for me throughout my life any time of day or night. I love you Dad and am sooo proud to be your son...although I am sure you always knew that. Rest in peace.......

Condolence: Dear Bev, Larry, Sara and Lauren,
Craig and I were deeply saddened to learn of Joe's passing. Even though he hasn't been himself for a while, it is still so hard to loose our dad and granddad. He was a man of God, family, great kindness, compassion, and highly respected. You were truly fortunate to have a man such as your father/grandfather in your life. I found a poem that has helped me the last two months and I hope it helps you:
Miss me but let me go
When I come to the end of the day,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love we once shared
Miss me, but let me go
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me, but let me go.
Craig and I love you so much. We will keep you in our prayers and are hear if you need anything.
PS Joe tell the Chief I said "hi".

Condolence: My dad was one of a kind. He was always there for me, especially during my divorce many years ago. I am proud to admit I was (and always will be) a "Daddy's girl." Through his years of dementia, I found myself in a role reversal. I became the "parent," and he became the "child." This child of God is now returned to his Father in Heaven. May I help to fulfill his legacy of love and kindness on this earth. I love you, Dad! Say "hi" to Mom for me. Your daughter Bev
