Burdie was a lifelong animal lover. After her passing, she wanted her first stop to be at the rainbow bridge so she could give all the dogs and cats that she had had over her lifetime a big hug.

A prayer Burdie always said before leaving was: “Dear God and Father in Heaven, give me a safe trip with no weather problems, no medical problems and no dumb drivers, including myself. In Jesus name. Amen”

Cousin Burdie, we loved seeing you & had many laughs together at breakfast every time we flew to NE. You shared what games you were playing at Legacy, & we filled you in on our family. You & Rod loved discussing NE football & Women’s Volleyball. We will miss you. Rest In Peace. Love Rod & Brenda ❤️
