Dear Mary and Ian,
 I was very sad and sorry when I heard of Burton’s passing. I have many enjoyable memories spending time with Burton and our other friends going on our fishing trips. I always looked foward to any barn fire get-together that you guys would put together. I will miss Burton and his Burtonism’s. Please take care.

Mary, Ian and family,
I learned of Burton’s passing just a few moments ago and cannot tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. I am so sorry that I missed the memorial service, and I will keep you in my prayers.
Love,
Your Cousin Cindy

Dear Mary, Ian And Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I am grateful to have had him as my friend, and co-worker here at Penn Vet. I will miss him every day, his word of the day, chats about new wines he discovered, paddling, politics & the environment. An all around great guy & friend.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary, Ian & Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I am greatful of the time I spent with Burton over the years at Penn Vet as my boss, co-worker and especially my friend. He was truly "one of a kind", caring,thoughtful and he always made me laugh with his unique sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Mary & Ian,
I am with you in my heart and prayers. We as friends and colleagues are/and have suffered your pain ourselves; but we will come through this test that God has given you and Ian. You will hate God; Anger; Wonder Why; but we do not know His ultimate plan for any of us.  So, focus on Ian and where you both go from this day forward, as your husband would want you to do. 
I’m always there for you, just dial 911 Cindy!
Love you!

Dear Mary and Ian,  You both have been in our thoughts and prayers so often this last week.  We are so sorry we will not be able to be with you this Saturday as we will be out of town.  Please know we are only a phone call away, do not hesitate to call us if we can help in any way.  Sending our deepest sympathy, love and prayers,
The Belitskys

Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow. Having recently met Burton on a business trip, I was shocked to hear of his passing. May you take comfort in knowing that he is watching over all of you. You are in my prayers.

Dear Ian, Mother and family,  It is so hard to find the words to express my feelings of sympathy to you.  Your Dad was a great father and I know you have so many wonderful memories to keep close to you, to remember in times to come.  My prayers are with you all. 
Love, Miss Kaylor.  I may have to work on Sat. morning, but my prayers and thoughts will be with all of you.

Mrs. Mary Hihn,
  I’m terribly sorry for your loss: my deepest sympathies to you, Ian, and the rest of your family.
