Burgess’ son, Greg, who serves with Grace Brethren International Missions in France, said, “Let me thank those who have written expressing your love and sympathy to our family. We have been smiling and crying as we read your kind words – and they have done our hearts good.
“We look forward to sharing some tears, laughter and memories with those who can come as we celebrate my Dad’s home going. Our heavenly Father is good. It is good to know that my earthly father is now fully reveling in the worship of our good God.”
