Dear Joe - and the remainder of the Turkovich family -

Your mom was an amazing woman, mother, friend! For years she was always the caregiver for every one else, never worrying about herself. She was the woman that we should all aspire to be. May you be comforted knowing that she was loved and that she loved each of you!!! May you find peace in knowing that she is with your dad now, and that she is with all the angels in heaven, shining down on each one of you! God Bless you all, and special prayers for you Joey....

Dear Stephen, Marcia, Joe and David, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I haven't seen her in many years but I'm sure she never stopped being the very sweet, kind and gracious lady I remember her to be. The character of her children is a living testament to how fine a person she was. I'm sure you all must miss her terribly.
