Frank Ward wrote a sympathy message

“We were saddened to learn of passing of Mrs Gloria Burns. We know of Mrs Burns through her daughter, Mary Ann Burns, the wife of my brother, Ralph. The Bible says that one knows a tree by its fruit. The character, warmth, and other qualities of Mary Ann told us years ago that Mrs. Burns was a very special women whose passing will impact the lives of many, beyond the loss experienced by her large family. Agnes and I will keep her, her family and her friends in our prayers. Frank and Agnes, Texas”
