    My heart goes out to the Burris family as they deal with the pain and sorrow of losing Edward. I pray that the memories of the good times they had while he was here on Earth will comfort and sustain them and give them peace.

    I’m so sorry to hear of Edward’s passing.
    He was a good man with a good heart.
    I have lots of good memories working with him and being around him in my teen years.
    There was never a dull moment when Edward was around.
    Prayers for the family.
    I know he will be missed.
