Dear Betsy, Pat and family,
Flashback to all the years of joy watching our children grow up together...celebrating their success and supporting each other at times too. Working together at UCPS and learning tennis together! School events were fun and special because of the presence of the Burke family. Brenden was a wonderful father and lit up the room. Proud Marist grad ( and our Allyson´s Alma mater too)! Bayport school memories always had the Burke family involvedI am grateful that I knew Brenden and I send love to you, Betsy, and the family.

I know that you and the family will have so many wonderful memories to get you through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.......anita
