To the Burns Family, wow, this is 5 years later, but I just found this while reminiscing through my old St Catherine's yearbook.  Mrs. Burns was my 3rd grade and 5th grade teacher.  And also my brother and I both played AYSO soccer and soccer at Notre Dame with Shane/Chad and I can remember her running up and down the sideline yelling for her team and sons.  You will always have a special place in my heart as one of my favorite and most memorable teachers.  That impact will carry on in the memories I have and share with my family.  Thank you all for sharing her with us.

Sincerely,

The Blantons

Mrs. Burns,

I will always remember you as my favorite teacher at St. Catherines. I remember the secret notes we passed to each other. You were so inspiring, funny and I learned so much from you. 
Love you and I will continue to remember all you taught me.

Mrs. Burns, How you will be missed!  Each of us had you as a teacher while attending St. Catherine's and you made our time in school a great experience.  It was wonderful staying in touch with you for all of the years after St. Catherine's and until recently when we last saw you in July.  We know you are pain free and at peace but we miss you already and offer up our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. We love you and miss you Gemma!

Much love to you and your family!
The Gunther Family

 My family and I want to express our very heartfelt sympathy to you and yours. I will miss my visits with Gemma every time she locked herself out of the house. We laughed and cried together. I will miss seeing her always, Go with God my friend,
