Happy Birthday Dad! I love you and think about you a lot. I wish you were still here so we could talk and play cards! I miss you man! Thought you would always be there, life has a tendency to be direct. You were one of the best in my eyes! Sometimes I wake up talking to you and it is hard to remember you are not here. Love you Dad.

I always loved my Dad through the thick and the thin. No matter what. He was always direct and only shined me once. But I’ve never lost respect for a great Dad. He worked his butt off to take the time for his kids! I could only hope to be as good or close as much of a father as he was to me. I miss him so much.

Dad,
I Love You and I Miss You,
I miss talking with you, visiting with you and enjoying the time we shared. All the questions that I have will go unanswered. I can only remember what you have told me and rely on your wisdom that you shared with me. I think about you all the time.
When I need someone to call. No ones there.
My life is getting shorter. I hope that I will be with you, and my Son, again soon.
Love You, your son, PL Burks

Dad,
I Love ya, I Miss ya.
I hope you are in a better place. So many things I didn't know. So many things I wish I did. I have so many unanswered questions. Looking through the history explains why you were the way you were. That is a good thing. I only wish that we could have done more together. I will always remember the stories you told mw and the knowledge that you shared. I hope that you will be with all our family.
I Love ya Dad, PL Burks

I've never really had to this kind of thing before, as I'm still pretty young. But regardless, Don wasn't just another person you see on the street, he was that person that if you heard him talk for just a minute you'd be lost in the stories that he has to share. I remember when i was just a little kid, I'd sit eagerly on the side of the bed, way past my bedtime, begging him to tell me another one of his timeless stories. being the nice person he was, he'd never disappoint, always starting with, "Well, kiddo, when i was a kid, my mom worked nights and slept during the day, whilst my dad worked during the day and slept nights..." id get so lost in his stories, man they were the best. But all stories must come to an end. Granted, some are longer than others, but i think the point of a story is to enjoy the time it lasts, when you get that point, where you're trapped in the book, where everything seems so real, and anything is possible. Don used to tell me, that the point of fairytales were not to tell us that dragons are real, but that the dragon can be defeated. And Don did just that.

For as long as I can remember, it has always been you with Grannie. You have been there to take care of Gracie and because of your stories, your kindness, and generosity, Gracelyn has turned into a VERY smart young lady, who is most assuredly NOT humble. LOL

I remember her coming home to tell me about the walks you took her on where you painted "X(s)" on turtles you came across with fingernail polish....just to see if you would be coming across the turtle again.

We have all benefited from your stories and your kindness. Please know we are so happy that you are no longer in pain or suffering. I will never be able to thank you enough...now or in the past for everything you have done for us.
Grannie, as always...you are forever a part of our family (as was Don Don) and will forever be close in our thoughts, hearts, and minds. With as much love as I can express... We will miss you!!! May you find peace where you can...

Don has been an important person in the lives of all our family at one point or another if not several. We shall miss him but we are glad to know that he is truly at rest and without suffering now. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and we invite you to our home anytime for as long as you like.

I am sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and while we are glad Don is no longer suffering. We are even happier to know that he is in heaven with our Lord. We hope that you will continue to be blessed in the presence of God Almighty and rest in the knowledge that you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do, please call. You are always welcome here with us.

~With all our love, thoughts, and prayers

The short 10 years we were married we had two wonderful sons. You were a loving caring father. When the boys were little we went hunting, fishing and camping. You Taught them how to appreciate the beauty of nature. The work ethics you taught our boys shows in their everyday lives. You were a loving and caring father. You will be sorely missed, I love you and will miss you always. G'night Darlin'.

Dad,
I LOVE YOU, and I will forever Miss You.
You taught me well. You have done your job as only a GREAT FATHER could.
I can only believe that you will be reunited with Grandpa and Grandma, and so many other family and friends.
Give my son a hug and kiss for me, and tell him that I love him.
You have left a everlasting impression upon everyone you have crossed path with.
I, like so many others will miss your knowledge and wit, and most of all, your honesty.
Dad, I Love you, I will Miss you. Your Son Phillip Leroy Burks
