The Burgess family want to give all Honor and Glory to GOD for the many blessings He has given us, especially the life of Bronner Burgess. And while we do not understand, we know who is in charge and His will be done in life and in death.

Rick & Sherri and the whole family want to thank you for all the prayers and support during this time. The reponse has been positively overwhelming. For those who attended the memorial service for the lovely William Bronner Burgess, you were able to see God working in amazing ways in the celebration of his life. A big thanks to pastor Dr. Danny Wood, all the staff at Shades Mountain Baptist Church, worship leader Michael Adler, Mark Hall & Casting Crowns, and all the singers. For those who were not able to attend the memorial service for the lovely William Bronner Burgess, Rick spoke and delivered a powerful message showing his family's strong faith in God and helping us to understand what we can do to honor his Father and his son during this earthly tragedy.
