We are thankful for the example that they left us with and will greatly miss them. Both were prepared to make the long sought after journey to be in the Lord’s presence. We are happy for their personal commitment to serve as best they could during the time they were blessed with. We strive to continue serving the Lord as best we can. Those attending Burbank First Baptist will continue to serve when and where they can to make the worship experience that others receive direct them to Heaven also. Each day is a blessing, and we are to use it to show people there is hope beyond life here on earth.
