My Dear Mr. Curtis,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of our lovely and precious Mrs. Emma. She was just a delightful and giving lady. I will always remember you and Mrs Emma being there to help with whatever was asked of you at our Wednesday meals as well as any job that needed to be done. She will be sorely missed by all and please know that I loved her and you so very much. May God sustain you throughout these coming days. I can see her and Mother just chatting away with our Lord and Savior.
I love you

When we think of Mrs. Burch we think of a beautiful lady full of southern charm, a mothers love, a wonderful friend, someone who loved laughter. The song “Medals for Mother’s ” remind us of her, if anyone deserved all the medals for mother this fine lady did.
She was one of the most wonderful ladies we ever had the pleasure to meet, know and love. She never met a stranger. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. She is someone who we was very proud to have known and call a friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family that she loved more than life.
Rest In Peace Mrs. Emma Burch, You will be missed more than you will ever know.
Aunt Emma will surely be missed by every one that ever had the pleasure of meeting her. Uncle Curtis, Curtis Jr, Ricky & Families, we’ll keep yall in our prayers. I won’t be able to make it up there but know that we love yall all very much. May the LORD wrap his arms around each of yall in the following days.
Love ,
Lorraine & Family
Ricky, So sorry for your loss. Donnie
Ricky and Curtis, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Time was not on our side to reunite with your parents again after all this time. We are so happy that we were able to be together and enjoy our visit. Maybe next time we will be able to see your dad. I am glad that he will have the two of you by his side in the days ahead which will be hard for him also. I look forward to keeping in touch with you. The memories can be our treasure to hold close to our hearts. Love you, Carl and Vickie Morgan
