Wayne, 
Just wanted to express my sincere condolences on the loss of your mom.
Just could not believe it when I saw it in the paper.  Every thought and
remembrance I have of her is good.  She
was always so kind and gracious.
Again, Wayne and family, so sorry for
your loss.

Wayne, our family loved your beautiful and wonderful mother  She always had a smile on her face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It was nice being with your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother for one Christmas dinner I especially enjoyed in your home a couple of years ago. Dorothy Laverne Burkett was a wonderful person with a sweet, touching personality. May your hearts be filled with great memories of a life well lived.

Wayne and Mary, my girls and I will miss Grandmother tremendously; but I am so very thankful for the 35+ years of our merged families. What wonderful memories we all have! Grandmother loved her family so much, but she loved her Lord even more. None of us can help but be sad, but only because we miss her. We know that she is so happy, pain free, reunited with Grandaddy, and absolutely beaming! I love my Burkett family.

One Sunday morning, 35 years ago, my daughter, Mechelle rode a church van to Sunday School with a neighborhood friend.  When she came home, she begged me to go with her the next Sunday, but only if I rode on the church van with the nice lady and man.  Well, I did go with Mechelle the next Sunday and rode the church van and met 2 of the most wonderful, loving people named Joe and Laverne Burkett who later became Brother and Sister Burkett to me and my family.  My life was never the same after I started attending Pensacola Baptist Temple and Brother and Sister Burkett were my first friends there.  Both Brother and Sister Burkett worked jobs but they were also in the ministry.  They spent their time ministering to others.  We will never know on this side of heaven just how many lives their lives touched.  I want to cry when I think of how much I loved the two of them...I can't think of one without thinking of the other, but I am also so happy to think about the two of them together again and with their Lord and Savior.  Their example of "talking the talk" and "walking the walk" will alway be an inspiration to me and my family.  Wayne, Mary, Tina and Tony, you all are so blessed to have had them for parents and grandparents.  Not many people have such a blessing.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief.

My dear Aunt LaVerne...a true Christian and an angel on earth.. Many, many memories, know she is without pain now and with the Lord and she and Uncle Joe are laughing and walking free.......no pain...

Wayne, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a lovely lady who was never afraid to let you know that she loved the Lord.  Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your sweet...sweet family.
With kind rememberance, 
Donald & Judy Odom

Wayne, I am one of the children who was blessed to have your mother a part of my life at Pensacola Baptist Temple.  She was my Sunday School Teacher, helped and encouraged me in the church bus ministry, and as a teenager both of your parents took me with them to visit younger children.  An angel on earth is now an angel in Heaven and her memory will forever be a blessing.

Wayne, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  God Bless you.

Wayne, my sincerest sympathy to you and yours in the loss of your dear Mother.  I remember so well those many years ago sitting in Miss Moreno's parlor and visiting with your Mother as you took your piano lesson while awaiting my turn.  It was always a joy to run into her through the years.  Prayers and love,  Sue Driver Callaway

We will miss Aunt Laverne so much. Always had so much fun with Memaw (Betty) and her as I grew up. Miss them both dearly. 
Sincerely, 
Chelsea Cooper
