Burton Family Dear Byrum Family we all are so sorry for your loss and your broken hearts. We are keeping you in our prayers. A wonderful verse that I love is Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We pray that in time he will heal your broken hearts and bind your wounds as you deal with the loss of the wonderful godly woman Kim Byrum also known as mother wife sister daughter-in-law aunt and best friend. One thing that I find comforting is to know that because of Kim's faith in Christ she is now leaping jumping dancing and singing with her Lord in Heaven. Hopefully in time this will also bring you comfort. Burton Family Patty Maloney Bedrosian To you all - I pray the lord bring you all peace and comfort to your hearts.
