To the family of Mr. Turner: I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I never got the chance to tell Mr. Turner what he meant to me. I was a student at Longfellow 30 yrs ago, where he was the 5th grade teacher. I never made it to his class, but he was such a wonderful man. I talked to him in the halls, and he even helped clean me up one day when I got sick in the bathroom. He will be sorely missed by many!!! God bless you Mr. Turner!!!! RIP

Dear Jim & Wanda & Sons,
Sorry that our names were accidentally omitted from our sympathy message written on June 23, 2011. However, we figured that you were able to figure out that it was from us since Coy's name was mentioned.
Lovingly,
Coy & Charlotte Birdwell

Dale, Brenda, Christopher, Jamie & Family: Please accept our sincere sympathies upon the passing of Dale’s father. He left a positive, friendly, and memorable man. May you find comfort in your happy memories and the deep love he had for you and your family.

Dear Jim & Wanda & Sons,
Our deepest sympathy is extended to you all (including your mom, brother, & all the families) and our prayers go upward for the Holy Spirit to comfort you through these days of struggle. Coy and I understand (to a degree) the dark valley of the shadow of death through which you are passing. God will walk with you. Separating ourselves from the ones who have impacted our lives so greatly is not something we do easily. Though we know without doubt that our loved ones are with God and without pain, our hearts still yearn to hear their voices, feel their touch, and seek their affirmations and wisdom. Please know that we love you; we are so grateful that we were able to visit with Floyd several times on our trips to Ohio. We were blessed by his friendly nature and twinkling eyes and warm smiles. We praise God for Floyd's blessed life and dedication to the Lord.

We all remember our favorite teachers... It has been so rewarding as parents to have Mr. Turner teach all four of our children. His passion both in the classroom and on the playground inspired the kids to excel.
Rest in peace, good and faithful servant and teacher.
God bless the family.

I will always remember Mr. Turner as a great teacher and hold many fond memories of him teaching 5th grade at Longfellow Elementary.
His passion for his job and how that came across in the classroom as well as the kickball field will always be with me. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dale, Brenda and family, I am sorry to hear about your loss. It's very hard to lose a parent no matter your age or theirs. I miss both of mine constantly but, I know I will see them again someday. I will have you in my prayers and ask that Jesus keeps his loving arms around you during this difficult time. Luann Coffey

Dear Frances, Dale, and Jim,
We all sure have fond memories of the times we spent together when we were younger. We will never forget the "Dog" incident when you lived in Westerville and our Dad had fun at the expense of your poor little dog.

Mr. Turner was the best teacher I ever had. He challenged his students to work hard and rewarded them when they did. (I think he liked playing kickball more than we did) He clearly loved his job. It's been almost 30 years since I sat in his class and it seems like yesterday. Thank you, you were the best.
