It's been a long time. I was just sitting here by myself and thinking and as always you came to my mind.
I will always love and miss you.

 My darling today would've been our 54th wedding anniversary how time flies . Sitting here thinking of the day we got married seems like only yesterday .  Time goes by so swiftly it seems unreal. We were so happy and so young we were just kids. I don't want to forget her happy you have made me. You always said  you lived your life for me and I believe you did. I'm so glad I loved  a man who loved me in return and this was the greatest gift I could ever have hoped to receive.( except for Jesus ) I still carry you in my heart I will always love you.  Rose 

 Christmas night   Just sitting here thinking about you this is been the fifth Christmas without you we had a good Christmas but it's not the same. I feel like  part of me is missing and really it is even though the house is full I  still feel all alone. Without you I feel  things are so different.  The holidays are the worst .  There is just an empty spot in my heart and I know the kids feel the same they just don't say it.  The Lord is been so good these past five years I  don't know what I would have done without him. He has given the strength to go on .  Still missing you until we meet  again love you still.  Rose

November 18th 20011 was the worst day of my life. My world fell totally apart. I couldn't believe it.I kept thinking its not true . My heart  was broken in 1 million pieces. But the Lord has been good to me I couldn't have made it without them. This is the fifth year you are gone.  I wonder will my heart ever  Mend . Still love and miss you. Your wife Rose  

Last night I was up thinking about the Christmas we had growing up and how blessed we were. I thought of a certain Christmas, and it made me tear up because I remember you being so selfless and giving. We kept opening presents and us kids had so much, and I felt like you didn't get much. So I asked you what you wanted, and you called Echo and I over We sat on your lap and you said i dont need anything else in this world, I have the greatest kids and grandkids I could ask for. Well pawpaw we haven't always been the best, but we have memories with the best pawpaw in the whole world, who taught us so much from his life. I will always cherish those times, I miss you so much. Loveyou. 

Dear Bro. Burgess,

I am missing you so much tonight.  You've been on my mind so much lately.  I guess I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I wish I could visit with you. 

Missed you so much this Christmas they are not the same without you. I  Know you are in a better place.I guess I am selfish . But I know we will meet again someday . Wait for me. Missing you.  Rose


 

 

My First Christmas in Heaven 

 

Dear Pastor Burgess,
                             I know it's almost been a year since you left us! And it's seems like longer,So much longer, I wish you was here,But i know your in such a better place and wouldn't trade that for anything. I feel like your watching over everyone when i step inside that door at the Church! I love everyone there so much and miss them too when i'm away. You have taught me so very much and I think of our trip to the amusement park in Idaho- Silverwood, You was driving the bus and you kept looking at me and my husband often,You had on a huge smile and was so happy! And you made me so very happy to be a part of it all! But I am still very sad your gone! So sad i still cry at times,I don't tell anyone about it either. But you and your wife seemed so much like parents to me! I always looked for guidance from ya both! I'm so very happy you have left such a great legacy behind! Your son has became such an awesome preacher! I know your proud of them and You would be even more so I'm sure! They are Amazing!! All of your families have grown so much and look great!! I miss being down there! I miss the church there so much! But I also miss the Church over here. I been having trouble getting my husband to go back,And i wish I had you to talk too and for you to talk to him! I've been asking him for months to get back on God's plans. He won't listen to me! So I hope and pray that a miracle happens and he is back and even better at the Church! You know what i mean. But I can't even began to tell you how much your missed! And by so many too! You was my first Pastor in the west coast! And one who became such a big part in my heart! Like a dad! And Your wife,Like a mom! I always wanted to express it more before you was gone! But life took us to different places, But there seemed more like home! I thank you always for your teachings and the love you have shown to everyone! I appreciated it more than you know. And I wish to have a better relationship with all your families! I love them all so much, But i've kind of been shy at expressing my feelings so I show it in different way's. I just wanted to write and let you know how much Curtis and I loved and miss you with all our heart! My husband wanted to see you so bad before you left,And i know it hurted him so bad that he didn't get that chance.So i hope and pray that if something ever happens to him in the future,That he get's to do that! I know your having it so much better where you are, Just wished you could of stayed longer with all of us!  And i had to write to let you know that we are missing you so very much! <3~~A.W.~~~ <3

To Sis Elder Burgess,
 I love you and can not imagine what you are going through inside. But I admire your strenghth and want you to know that there are people all around you that care about you and love you. I know it cant replace what you are missing with the one you loved and lived with all those years but maybe some how it can easy your pain. They say time heals all wounds... I know you will never forget but I pray that God wraps His arms around you and comforts you until then. I love you and am here for you if you need anything.

To Pastor Burgess and Family,
I love you all and know inside how broken you must be. I know my day is coming and I can only hope to have some of the strenghth you are showing. But in those alone times when you dont have to be strong for anyone I pray God gives you more stenghth and wraps you in His arms and lets you know how great you are doing. My He also lighten your load for awhile so you can stand tall. Thank you for giving to the Lord.

To Carla and Family,
I love you all and am praying for peace and comfort in your hearts. I know how much I am hurt and broken about it and I was not his daughter...I know I will have to face the same one day and I know it cant be easy...but I admire your strenghth and just know if you need me Im here if I can help in any way.
