Terri & Mike,

We wish to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. It always made me smile when I saw Mike taking Julia for a stroll around town. May you cherish all the memories of your mother and wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with you – Debbie, Michele, Tiny and Paula.

We were sorry to read about your loss. We wish we could have been there for Julia’s service today but poor health kept us in Yakima where we have lived for almost 15 years. Your family will be in our prayers. Chub and Barb Myers

Dear Mike,

I was once told that in time, the pain will go away and that all that will remain is the love and the memories of two people, one life. That’s not true.

True is that the pain will diminish, and the understanding of the love will grow.

She loved my family and we loved her. No other woman except for Lynn has a deeper place in the hearts of my children.

The last time we were all together at St Francis was when you stood in for the baptisim of Linda. That was a happy day. Then it seems like the next day, she was organizing Linds’s wedding. That was a happy day. Then and then and then and then and then and now, now.

How many joys, how many tears— can’t count ’em, but they were real and they were true and we’ll remember them with love.

It’s been a long and facinating road from Burien Gardens to here. Can’t see around the next bend, but I know that whatever else is there, should I look around, not that far away will be my friend Mike.

Greetings Mike, Tari, Brian & families.

I have nothing but great memories of your family, especially Julie’s wonderful attitude toward life & living it fully. The opportunities to babysit & work at the old Burien Theater were huge for me, particularly since my family never had any money to speak of. I don’t think I ever saw Julie without a smile on her face; her love of life so emanated from her & always made me feel loved.

Know that she and all of you made a difference in my life.

Be well.

Robyn & Bill Burdick
