I sang with Bob and Priscilla Burrows for many years at St. Mark’s. Both were optimistic and good natured people – and sang well. I sat directly opposite both in the St. Mark’s choir practice room. Priscilla was steadfast and unwavering in her loving support during Bob and Liz’s illnesses. I was sad when she relocated to Arizona but I’m only a few years behind her and predict changes coming ahead in my life. (I’ve had to give up singing in the choir. Walking and standing are not my best skills.) Your mother’s service was beautiful and lack of mobility prevented my greeting you at the reception. Hugs and misses – Love and prayers to each and all of you.
