Tim,

This is an amazing tribute and way for her to continue to impact others!

 Let yourself feel all the different emotions that come with it - I hope someday to be able to do the same for Dave.

Tim that is such a wonderful way to memorialize Glynnis. I'm sure that the person that receives it will be so grateful, and remember where it came from always.You have such a big heart!

Tim, what a wonderful tribute to Glynnis!  My family and I will be giving the 3rd Walter F. Burnett, Jr. Memorial Scholarship on May 27th.  Each time we get a donation of any size, I just thank God for it.  It is such a blessing. Each year it is emotional, but the first year was overwhelming for us and for the recipient.  We all cried tears of joy and sadness that day. But, it was so meaningful and so worth it just knowing that we were not only helping someone but keeping Walter's memory alive. I hope that last night was wonderful for you and your family. God bless.
