Dear Randy and Wanda,

We are so sorry for your loss. We know that these last weeks have been very hard for you but you have the peace of mind knowing that you were there with her for the entire last weeks of her life. And she knows you were there for her also.
Both you and Randy were as blessed
for having her in your life for so many years as she was for having the two of you. She is in the hands of God now where she will not have to endure any more pain and she left knowing that she had the most loving son and daughter-in-law that any mother could have had. Our every thought and prayer are with you today and every day. We love you both very much.

With Love Always,

Brenda and Greg

I am so sorry to hear of Sallie's passing. I remember her fondly from when I would visit my Grandmother, Clara. She was a good friend and neighbor to my Grandmother. She will be missed greatly. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Randy and Wanda,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Although I never got to meet Mrs. Turner, I know she was a very, very wonderful person because Wanda always spoke so highly of her. I pray that God who is the God of all Comfort will be especially close to you at this time.

Love, Gloria T.
