Terry, Tom, and the entire Burkhead family are in my thoughts and prayers today. I remember my parents hanging out with Reatha and George when I was a youngster. My dad worked at the Otsego DPW with George, which somehow caused Reatha & George and my parents to party together….a tradition of Burkhead/Marks partying that Terry and I still carry on to this day. May she rest in peace.
