My heart and prayers is with the Burkett family. I was a classmate of Michael´s from 1st -12th. Recently, I reconnected with him in 2022. He was a good Man despite all that he suffered in life. I wish him God´s speed in taking his place in Heaven. RIP, Michael.

Mary, I´m so sorry to hear of Michael´s passing. I haven´t seen him for over 50 years, so I´ll always remember him as a young scamp!

Mary, I am so sorry for the loss of your Michael. You were the best Mom he could have ever hoped for and you guided him well. I still remember his curly head of hair when he was a little boy. I´m sending prayers and love.
