My sister Marilyn was the first of the six Martin siblings to marry, so May and Burl were our first "parents-in-law." Though I didn't see them often, I enjoyed every visit and can't remember seeing Burl without a smile on his face. Stan, I know you miss your dad... you and May are especially in my prayers.

My sincerest sympathies to Mae, Stan and Gwen in their loss of Burl. He is now in a place where he knows no pain or suffering and where you will eventually join him. I remember Burl as a very nice man, low key, when you all were my neighbors.

I'm sorry for the sorrow and loneliness that you are feeling. I know you must feel that there is a gaping hole in your life. I also know that you will continue to be a blessing to others' lives that you have been. I have never known anything but kindness from you. Just lean on your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Burl was one that greatest generation we here about. I like to think it was those men like Burl and my dad that shaped the lives of my own generation. He was a great friend to my dad and to me as a young man growing up. My prayers to all of you during this time. Hang on to a lifetime of wonderful memories! May God Bless and Keep You!

IT IS painful to watch a loved one suffer and die. We naturally grieve such a loss. It is comforting to know, however, that our Creator understands our grief. More than that, he longs to use his almighty power to restore life to the dead. Notice the hope conveyed in the words of Job, recorded at Job 14:13-15. I'm very sorry for your lose. May God's words seek to comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl
