For "Cornbread"

This is a tribute slideshow for William Bronner "Cornbread" Burgess, the two-year old son of beloved radio personality, Rick Burgess of the "Rick & Bubba Show".
Little Bronner died recently in a very tragic drowning accident. I collected some of Bronner's photos online, along with a few images that moved me, and that I felt were appropriate. I felt compelled to create this, as I have lost children myself, and I'm still grieving. I, along with thousands of others, am overwhelmed with empathy for this family.
God Bless the Burgess family, and may He continue to provide them with peace and strength in the days to come. Bronner is at perfect peace in the awesome presence of the Lord.

(Please be sure to view "A Father's Heart" parts 1,2 & 3 on YouTube. It's the incredibly powerful speach given by Rick at Bronner's memorial service.)

Thank you, Burgess Family, for fighting the fight! "STAY IN IT!!!"

@FloormanofAlabama ... I'm SO very sorry for your loss! :-( I've lost children (babies) so yes, I understand that it is a pain like no other. My heart goes out to you. And any parent who has lost a child. God be with you and your family! And thank you for the comment.

as a mother of 2 beautilful girls and blessed by God to have 2 wonderful step sons and a Christian, my human heart breaks for Rick and Sherry and my prayers are with them. My Christian heart knows that Bronner is running the streets of gold as we sit here today. He has met Jesus and is going to be just fine until we all get there to see him. God is good and He will heal the brokeness. God bless you all. This was a beatuiful video and memorial to Bronner.

To say it is the least I could do.. would be an understatement. I'm SO glad that so many of you are seeing this. I'm amazed. I never could have imagined that, in a few days of posting this, it would have had SUCH a response! God is GOOD! And Bronner (and his family) are beautiful, and deserve nothing less than to be honored this way. It was my pleasure to create this, and I only hope that Rick, Sherri and the kids get to read these awesome comments!!!

Cornbread was so adorable.. I remember that we celebrated the day he was born. Jesus sent him to earth to teach us all something.

Thank you God, for giving me my four children, Elaina, Maggie, Cameron, & George. Thank you for blessing this family with 'Cornbread' too. Thank you for life here and now, and for the hope of being reunited, in your perfect time, with all our loved ones... those who know you, and come to you, with the faith of a little child. God thank you for your mercy, thank you for saving me... mostly, thank you for showing yourself to my children.
