Suzette,

Many years have passed since we played and laughed (and maybe aggravated) your Daddy when you lived on Tyree Road. I have very sweet memories from my childhood of spending the night at your house and playing with Barbies and spending time with your Mama and Daddy. I am sad to hear of your Daddy's death. May all the good memories comfort you and your family in your time of loss. Much love and hugs. Pam

Arden was a good neighbor and friend who provided us with vegetables before we had our garden. We think of him often. He will be missed.

As a child, I enjoyed the Sunday afternoon outings with Arden, Margaret and their daughter LouElla. He was a fine man and will be missed by all. I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of his family.

Arden Turner was my grandfather. He was my hero. He was the one that was my dad for the first 8 years of my life. He taught me how to read. We would go to the store and instead of me picking out a toy for him to buy, it was always a book. I would crawl up on his lap every night for him to read to me.
