Ms Turner:
You were a wonderful mother-in-law and not many can say that. I will never forget the times that I had with you. The conversations we use to have especially when we would be on our way to one of our special places [smile]. You know I thought you were the funniest. I can truly say that you were an exceptional person. I have always told Bunni how I thought you were a super person. Your ability to keep family together was extraordinary. I promise that I will keep my eye out for WINK, I know how important it was to you to know if "anybody has seen William." I will see you again!!!
Missing you tremendously.

Mom, I can't explain the pain that I am feeling for not being able to see you. It's as if I am in a daze. However, I know that the LORD got himself a good one. You were my mother, my friend and my hanging partner. I will always cherish the days that we had and especially the talks we would have. I know for a longtime I will be saying "let me call MA." What I know is that you were a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend to everyone. I am so thankful to the LORD for the years that we had you; they were good ones. You left wonderful memories for all of us. Things are going to be different without you, but you know MOM I am glad not sad because you were the perfect example of the word MOM. Tell all the gang I will see them again!!!!!

Hey Grandma,
Today I thought of you, a lot, and I wondered if you feel how hurt I am to have lost you. I can still hear your voice on my voicemail saying, "Shenee' this is grandma, I didn't want anything, just checking on you." I even thought to pick-up the phone to check on you and remember that you wouldn't be there. I hope you, Butch, Karen, Shountay, and my mother can work to keep us straight down here. You know go to God on our behalfs, because we need it. Things won't be the same, since you are not here, but I'm glad that I had 35 years with you and know the true meaning of having a Grandmother. You were always supportive of EVERYONE, you would be right there front and center. I'm glad that your last days on earth were good days and no pain and hard suffering came upon you. That's really what gives me peace in knowing that you are quietly resting in eternal life. Well, I know you got our backs, but nothing beats having you here; however, I know God knows what's best and no one can change that. All will be well, because you were a great leader and teacher, so don't worry, plus I'll do what I can.
Love you always and forever,
Your 1st Grand-child Shenee'
