I still remember being a young boy who just lost his home, showing up in the middle of the night at the Burrows home. Suzie welcomed me with open arms. Feeling like I just lost everything, Suzie put her arm around me reassuringly; she made me feel welcome, safe in her home and for that I’ll be eternally grateful…With deepest sympathies my heart felt condolences goes out to the Burrows family and the many children that took refuge in their home. - Posted by: Shannon (Foster Son) on: Aug 20, 2015
