John Burkey is the husband of Sue Burkey who plays violin with us. It has been awhile since we have seen Sue, which is understandable; family comes first. Unfortunately John originally had Parkinson's disease and within the last 2 years he developed multiple problems. As the number and frequency of issues increased, it became apparent that recovering was not possible. He passed away Thanksgiving morning. John left behind Sue and two of his siblings. Please pray for God to provide peace and comfort to this family
