    I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the Burns family find comfort and strength in Jesus promise along with our heavenly father Jehovah of the earthly resurrection, where death will be eliminated forever. Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It's a reality though for God cannot lie!

May the words of our loving heavenly Father bring your family comfort and strength during this most difficult time as He promises to bring our loved ones back to life in a perfect world where there will be no more suffering or death (John 5:28-29 & Revelation 21:4).

    My sincere condolences to Rosalie's family and extended family. In the 1980's I had the pleasure of working with Rosalie at Maritime Tel & Tel. She was a very loyal employee, a very congenial co-worker and a great lady, who was loved by all who worked with her. I know she leaves a big gap in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Thinking of you all.
