    What a great joy to have had Burley in my life for the last few years! What a blessing Mr and Mrs Moore have been to Burley showing love that can only come from God! "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” What an example of this scripture you have shown!
