Our dear sweet niece. Always positive. Loved your laugh and outlook on life. My favorite memory of you Ron, Robbie and your little friend coming to OR, feeding the birds with outstretched arms, and you two swimming in the lake, and of course our trips to Powell Lake. I am sure you will find your place in Heaven. Our love and sympathy to the rest of the family.
Aunt Barbara (Wilson) and Uncle Gary Burke
