Dear Turner Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. As I think of your mom and dad I remember being at their home with Pam and Rhonda, smelling coffee boiling and fish frying. I remember sharing laughter and feeling so welcome. My eyes are filled with tears as I sit here now. We are now retired. Both Ronald and myself have health issues. I am comforted to know that we will be together again in heaven. Life is short and heaven is not that far away. We love all of you. P.S. Ronald reminded me to tell you that nothing is lost when you know where you put it. 2 Tim. 1:12 b
Just read about your mom today. So sorry. She and your dad will live forever in my heart. They were two of my favorite people.
