July 14, 2013 at 7:13 amWe are so saddened by the loss of my brother-in-law’s mother, Anne Burrows. Anne was the matriarch of the Burrows family, and person of great integrity. We know how much she loved her son’s and grandchildren. Her family meant everything to her. We will always remember her humor, and celebrate her delicious authentic Italian spaghetti sauce that she shared the recipe with us once a long time ago. God Bless all of the family and Friends who share in the grief of losing this lovely and beautiful lady.
With Love and Sympathy,
