Gina & loved ones:

My thoughts and prayers are with you not only during this difficult time, but always. May the Grace of God bring you through this hard time and help you to find peace with your loss. Burton is in a better place, where there is no more suffering. I'll always remember his smile, his determination to win (horse shoes, racing, etc.)and most of all how he treated everyone equal. He was a great man and I was honored to know him.

I love you "Gina P Potter"!
p.s. "the light was green, so he went" :o)
