Dear Family, 
With a heavy heart we say goodbye to a neighbor who was a guardian angel to us. His presence and friendly hellos will be missed. May the peace of God's Love comfort you and memories of the good times you had replace the tears with smiles.  From your Friends & Neighbors at 806 Longfellow Street NW, Carlton and Debbie Williams

Mike, "Little Mike" by those of us who grew up around 8th and Kennedy Sts., my condolences to you my friend. A lot of found memories of your Dad.  From CYO Football to doing yard work for him disguised as a trip to the summer house (LOL). Mr. Burnett was admired by all and will be sorely missed.  The Pattersons

Our loved ones who have died leave an indelible imprint on our lives.  I wish to express my sincere sympathy on your loss.  May you draw comfort from our heavenly Father, friends and family as you endure the days ahead.

May the Lord bless you at this time. We are sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful and caring gentleman, who will be missed by many people. R.I.P. Mr. Burnett

I met this great man over 45 years ago.  At that time, he was the Chief Wardmaster of the 2290th US Army Hospital (1000 Beds). I had the pleasure of serving with him for the following six years, during the Vietnam war at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  Sgt. Burnett was always one we all looked up to for guidance in not only our military lives, but in life in general.  He was an inspiration to all of us.  When we had a bad day, you could always count on him to find that one ray of light to bring into your life to make the day better.  We could not save nor heal everyone, but with him around, you knew that we did our very best.  Anything less he would not tolerate.  The next time I saw Sgt. Burnett after I became a Master Mason myself, I learned of his many masonic deeds as well.  We shared many stories, and lessons, and he also became the Grand Secretary to the Grand Lodge of DC.  That alone is a great accomplishment.  I know that the Lord will continue to take great care of this fine gentleman and brother.  May he rest in peace and continue his labors in heaven.  To his family, I am very sorry for your loss.  Remember all of the good times and memories that I know he left with all of you.  While he will be missed on this earth, he will live forever in our hearts.  My God bless all of you in your time of such great sorrow.  I wish I could be there to assist you with your grieving.  He would have liked that.  SSG Mike Furr, USAR.

Please accept our deepest condolences on your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are deeply sadden to hear of your father's passing. Our families had a bond growing up on 8th St. And we feel that your loss is also our loss. May God continue to strengthen you during these difficult times. The Oliver Family
