I've been a friend of Evelyn Faye Turner since we were in 7th grade at Talcott high. I love Faye and her sister Dottie. She told me not long ago how much she loved her husband Tommy and son Timmy. I'd met Tommy a few times. He loved his cows and taking care of them. He was a very good man
Went to church with her. They have a lot of family and friends. I'm thankful. I was afraid of her being alone at night
Nights are the hardest. I've been there. He knew he would be in heaven,we will see him again.
I'm here for Faye day or night. I love you all
Your friend always
