Once again it is with a heavy heart that I pass along this information received from Lavancha Waddell. Polly L. Burke, PSR and wife of the late Supreme Chancellor Harold Burke, passed away Tuesday, September 2, 2008. Visitation will be Friday evening 6:00PM until 8:00PM at Hackman-Fegelsong Funeral Home at 114 S. Nottawa Street, Sturgis, Michigan. They would like to have a Pythian Memorial Service, and it will be at 6:00PM. That will help for those out of town to be able to get home before dark. Polly will be greatly missed by all those whose life she has touched.
