    Mike and Lisa, I always enjoy speaking to your mom after playing golf at Cadiz Country Club, or seeing her in Riesbecks. She always seem to have a smile on her face. May her memory be eternal.

    My deepest sympathy to the Burks family. I've played many rounds of golf with Anne at Cadiz Country Club and she always enjoyed the game, even later in life when finishing to number 18 was a challenge. She was a real trooper and a gracious lady. Sincerely, Peg Buchanan
