Dear Burch family: I am so sorry about your loss of such a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and community member. Although I never met Mr. Burch, I feel like I knew him through Sonia, who is exceptional in helping me take care of my own father as one of his best caregivers over the past year. Please let all of the happy memories help your heavy hearts at this difficult time. I am praying for God to give each of you strength.
