In loving memory of Gwendolyn Denise Burson, who was a loving wife, amazing mother, a desired friend and devoted Christian. There are times when only a mother's love can understand our tears, can soothe our disappoints and calm all of our fears. There are times when only a mother's love can share the joy we feel when something we've dreamed about quite suddenly is real. There are times when only a mother's faith can help us on life's way and inspire in us the confidence we need from day to day. For a mother's heart and a mother's faith and a mother's steadfast love were fashioned by the angels sent from God above. The depths of sorrow we cannot tell of the loss of one we loved so well and while she lies in peaceful sleep, her memory we shall always keep. We know that she is happy in our Savior's home above; Growing fairer as she lingers in the sunshine of His love. Her loving face I hope to see again though the days have passed away. Sleep on dear wife and take thy rest; they miss you most who loved you best. We are sad within our memory and lonely are our hearts today. For the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. My lips cannot tell how I miss her; My heart cannot tell what to say. God alone knows how I miss her in a home that is lonesome today. The pearly gates were opened as a gentle voice said "Come"; and with farewells unspoken Gwendolyn gently entered home. Gone from the earth so swiftly just like a flower in bloom. So young, so fair, so loving yet called away so soon. We'll meet her some glad morning, resting by waters fair. She is waiting for our coming in the upper garden there.
Gwendolyn Denise Burson will be truly missed by a host of relatives and friends. She has rested all of her labor and gained a very good reward from our Lord and Savior. Matthew 11:28
