A belated but nonetheless sincere word of thanks to the crew who responded from the Burien Fire Department's Station 29, on the evening of Friday, October 10 on the occasion of our step-mother's - Margaret L. Gudmestad - death.

Those firefighters carried out their duties in a quiet, compassionate and professional manner and our family is grateful for their assistance.

These are the individuals who respond to our aid, day and night, no matter what the incident. A simple word of thanks or plate of cookies is inadequate.
