Dear cousins, I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Lorraine's passing. She was without a doubt the sweetest and most gracious, along with graceful, person in the world. How heart-wrenching for you all. I am thinking of you, and thinking of the whole Burns clan, including my parents gone for a while now, at this time.
