    Our deepest sympathy to the Burley family as you mourn the loss of your sister-in-law Donna. My family always felt a great connection to the Burley family as I was growing up, we visited the Family Farm, in our yearly holiday as one of my Dad’s (Gordon Froats)favourite places to go with Grace fussing over all of us and catching up with all of her kids as they grew up. Time takes us all in various directions but the memories keep us all grounded in family….hold those memories close and speak of them often

    Our condolences to the family. Donna was a great neighbour to our family as I grew up.
    I would always make a stop there with my kids on Halloween and have a little chat. It was always great to see her and Charlie.

    I met Donna many years ago and from then on she became like a member of our family and a dear pfriend family. Donna was one of the most generous, thoughtful, and kind person I know. A proud Mom, grandmother and sister. A friend for life for all who knew her. I send condolences to her family. Good memories of Donna will not be forgotten she will be missed.
