Johnette AlyeneBurks

"Dear Harold,
We heard through my Daddy, Billy Julian, who talks frequently with Glenna, that Jonette passed away. We were so shocked and saddened to hear this as we always enjoyed our little visits at the Farmersville Opry the past couple of years. Jonette was such a positive happy person. May God be with you and your entire family and comfort you during this time. You are in our prayers.
With Sympathy,
Richard and Nancy Urbani

"Harold, Kim, Karen & Rus...

My family's deepest sympathies and love go out to each of you during this difficult time. There are no words to express how truly blessed I am to have known Johnette and have shared this life with her through spending time with each of you. My parents, Marvin and Joyce, my sister, Marsha, and her family as well as Hillary, Hadley, Avery and myself are all praying for each of you during this emotional time. We are here for you in what ever capacity we can be of assistance. Though I feel helpless, I hope I can offer some borrowed words of support from James Smith of The Pastor’s Morning Visit...

James writes, "As we may be prone too often to consider the dangers, darkness, and distress of our circumstances, let us never forget that God will deliver, comfort, and strengthen us in our adversity. Make a God of Him! Look to Him for all that He has promised—which is all that we need! Adore His Divine perfections and rejoice that they are all engaged to eternally bless us! Live to His glory, walk by His Word—and He will glorify Himself in our present and everlasting welfare. He rejoices to do good unto His people, He delights to bless them!"

Johnette was and will be eternally blessed...

With Love,
Dr. Mark Gavin Kokes

She was so great at letting the love of the Lord shine through that sweet smile and was always so helpful and caring of others. Praying for your family and thanking God for the beautiful example of a godly woman and friend that Johnette shared with us all. You are loved and being thought of today by your church family at Meadows. Love, Carlana Coles and family

"I am so sorry for you loss. I worked at Central Office in Plano ISD for many years and visited Meadows Elementary often. I always looked forward to the beautiful smile and warm welcome from Johnette.

"I had the pleasure and honor of working with Johnette when I was principal at Meadows.
I was so impressed with her soft, quiet strength and she always had the children at the forefront of every decision. The families, knew her, admired her and respected her.
It was a family affair at Meadows and often times Harold came to assist.
When we had the yearly cookout he helped with the grilling of burgers. It was obvious that Harold and Johnette had a beautiful marriage and they were both so proud of their daughters.
Phils favorite memory was the "other side" of Johnette. She was an avid follwer of the Stock Market which she checked everday at the end of her work day. One day Phil stopped by after school and he saw Johnette pursuing the Stock Market on the computer. After that each time he called he would discuss stocks with her.
We were both sad to hear of her passing. We are out of town but we send our prayers and wanted her family to know our thoughts are with them.
Please know that Johnette made every day brighter for Debbie during her time at Meadows. Johnette was a true polished Diamond and we are
Blessed to have known her."

"I am so sorry for your loss. Johnette was a wonderfully warm woman who helped me so much during her years at Meadows Elementary. May God bless all of you during this difficult time."

"Really enjoyed working with her, very sweet and thoughtful lady.

"Johnette was an awesome person. She helped us and supported us for so many years. She made going to work every day a joyful occasion. She was a much loved lady."

"My heartfelt condolences to all of Johnette's family at this sorrowful time. Johnette was a truly lovely woman. She was always cheerful, helpful, and kind to all who came into the office at Meadows. I had the privilege of working with Johnette for many years. Always willing to help anyone who came to her, she was a friendly co-worker, and never had a bad thing to say about anybody. We will all miss her. May she rest in the peace of Christ. Kass DuRoss"

"She was such an amazing woman. She always had a smile on her face when we arrived at work. She was a servant of God. She was such a blessing to the Meadows Staff. God Bless!"

"I was a teacher at Meadows Elementary School. I don't think I ever met a kinder person. Johnette never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She was always the calm in a storm. I am so sorry for your loss. I know she is one of God's brightest angels."
