To Burks family,
It is with sadness we say goodby to Burk. Our friendship started in the first grade and we enjoyed
football and all sports together. You always wanted him on your side.
We all hope to move to a better place and rejoin our loved ones.
May Gods blessings be with you all in this sad time,
Classmate, 1958 James Weddle
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD’S COMFORT and BLESSINGS BE WITH ALL of BURK’S FAMILY and FRIENDS. Burk was like a brother to me. And what a wonderful friend he is and always will be. Love You Brother. W K Brown
As a member of one of the “Grand Prairie” pioneer families, Burk Sims will be dearly missed by all those who knew him. He was a man of many talents and his legacy will be long remembered.
Our prayers continue for the Sims family. We pray that God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the Comforter) will provide strength, comfort, and assurance in this time of sorrow. Billy and Gail Booth
