Yesterday
Rest in peace cousin Danny.
My Dad, Hiram Glynn Turner (Uncle Glynn), was Linda Cates brother. We used to visit in Buffalo but had not seen Danny since Aunt Linda and Uncle James passed. His kids may remember Easter with an epic Easter egg hunt at my parents house in Huntsville.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
My condolences.
Susie Turner
