The Reverend Monsignor Michael L. Burke

"Father Mike" was such an inspiration to all those he met. He always had something uplifting to everything and made things seem right again. Please keep praying "Father Mike" for the state of the world. I feel blessed to have known you and feel comforted knowing that you are still "Keeping Hope Alive" for your faithful followers. May you find that eternal peace and joy that you are so deserving of.

Fr. Mike, ... it hardly seems possible that our friendship spans nearly 40 years. Gob Bless and Keep You until we meet again. Please pray for us. -Dick & Connie Brachman-

My mother Ethel Connolly had Fr.Mike as a student at Wardsville school. She taught the one room school and she loved it. Mike was one of her favorites. Condolence to the family from the Connolly's James Mary and Michael

Mike was not only a good man, but a great man. He gave all to the work of Christ with great love. While we were not often together in our old age, he remained a treasure in my life, along with his family. Rest in peace my friend, and my sympathy to Tom, Joe and all the family. Your pain must be enormous, God's blessings to you all. Jerry Wagner

Dear Family of Fr. Mike. Bless you all with this loss of Fr. Mike. Oh how we loved him. Came to dinner, remarried us for our 25th anniversary ((May 24th, 2000). Truly a man of God. He is at peace with Jesus. We will miss him. Charlie and Mary Allen
