I used to love going to Aunt Burla’s beauty shop when I was little; I thought it was SO neat that she had her own business. She was an inspiration to me, and now I have my own business! Thank you, Aunt Burla! With love, Lisa
A Great loss to me. My dear friend for twenty-five years. Out of her kind heart, she helped me in many ways. I’m eternally grateful. God Bless
Burla was one of my favorite people and great student. I will always remember her overcoming her fear of Algebra to complete her GED. What a great lady with a great life’s story.
What a wonderful Aunt. Aunt Burla you showed me and taught me so much. It was such a joy and Honor to have the pleasure of taking care of you the last 15 months. You will be missed so much by me each day I love you so much. I will see you again someday. Please give my Dad a Big Hug!!!!
