Mrs. Turner, I have been sending Christmas cards to you over these past five years not knowing that you had left us. The cards were never returned to me, so I did not know. I am so very sorry to learn of your passing in this way, through a few lines in a newspaper. I pray for your soul in heaven, and I ask that you give my love to Steve. We miss him very, very much. If any of your family happen to read this, I would ask that they get in touch with me.

With love - Frank McGinty

I will always miss our weekly chats , sharing old family photos, and discussing our lives with each other. It was hard to believe that Celeste was gone.
