Also, in the near future, we will have a memorial service to celebrate Anna’s amazing life. Details to come.

The Goff-Burns family is deeply grateful for your support and offers to help. We want to see you and remember Anna together. Questions about these gatherings may be directed to Ligia Bouton, (505) 603-4400.

Memorial Service for Anna Burns
Please join us for a participatory service to celebrate their life on Sunday, November 6, 2022.

Address: Montague Retreat Center, 177 Ripley Road, Montague, MA; GPS may fool you, so use these: http://www.montagueretreatcen….

Flow of Event
1:00-1:30 Arrive and Gather in the Great Hall
2:00-4:00 Celebration of Anna’s Life
4:00-5:30 Reception and Light Refreshments

Please join us for any part of the service.

The main portion of the Celebration of Anna’s Life will be devoted to friends, family, teachers, coaches, everyone sharing anything they would like to share about Anna -memories, reflections, a story, a poem, a song, anything.

It would be helpful, but not at all necessary, to let us know if you plan to participate in this part of the service here:

You can decide to share the day of the service, too. If you can't be there but would like us to read something for you, just let us know.

Dress is informal and the grounds are rustic. Please wear clothes that are comfortable for you. Anna loved flannel, comfy sports team hoodies, sneakers and hiking boots – it’s that kind of service.

Flowers are so lovely, but even more meaningful for us is the permanence of photos. We have seen so many parts of Anna and their life through photos people posted on the Ever Loved website.

We would love more photos - annotated or not - if you have them. Please view the program for a QR code that will take you to the file folder you can add to. Alternatively, you can email photos to Julie at <goff.julie@gmail.com> to add to the folders.

Masks are optional - we ask people to do what they are comfortable with, but please consider the vulnerable folks who will be in attendance in your decision.

We are also looking into livestreaming. Please email ligiabouton@gmail.com for that info or any other questions.
