To our family. It is difficult dealing with the lost of our father but we are all left with memories that will keep us strong. Turk is no longer with us physically but he will remain in our hearts and thoughts until the end. We are strong and able to let go of our father. We will keep our focus on what Turk want us to focus on and that is happiness and togetherness. We love Turk but our heavenly father is in need of his services in a different location. We are far away from home but we are close in spirit.
