"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
We love you, Papa Burrhead.
