To my favorite cousin: Sorry it took so long to pay tribute to you, but it sill hurts. There are not enough words for me to share about how you have been there to help me and my kids thru so many events in our life. I love you very because you were not just my cousin, but my friend. You were never judgmental about me, you were just there to help and direct me. You, Lisa and I were together in the beginning of you and her relationship, and then came Morgan. I was so happy for you two. When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, again you and Lisa were there. I could never repay you for all your help, but I will continue to be there for our family.
I will truly miss you but God knew best. We all have a cross to bear, so I will continue to use you as an example. Enjoy riding in the clouds and seeing all of our family. I know I will see you again.
Love always, Bo Turner

I remember when The Turners lived in Linden and the games we played as children and recently gave Retoe some pictures of him, Bonnie and my brother, Don James. My prayers go out to the Turner Family. God Bless and keep you in his care.

To Harry's family,
I was so saddened & shocked to hear the awful news. Harry was loved by many. He certainly helped everyone with a kind word and that great smile. He was a friend since the old Pancake Cottage days.

Lisa, Eric , Morgan and family,
Like so many, I am truly at a lost for words that might comfort you at this time.
Harry was loved by all and that in itself is a true gift from God. He truly was one of God's messengers.
"To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven", (Ecclesiastes 3:1-14)
This was Harry's season. I feel much comfort in knowing that he is looking down from above watching over all of us.
God Bless the Man!
With Deepest Sympathy,
Mary and Steve Bruder

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Reto.
Those who sow courtesy reap friendship, and those who plant kindness gather love. I don't think the world is big enough for the love
and kindness you showed and shared with others .I for one didn't
see or talk to you everyday like some others but you were that kind of guy
that everybody knew and loved . There's one person that i know that will miss you so deeply and that's my son YOUR NEPHEW ANDRE' PANNELL he loved you so much as we all did . Reto go home with a smile because GOD has another place all ready for you .your work here is done .He need you now to share all that love kindness some other place. in so little time you became a GAINT to so many of the little.Our hearts and mine's will never be the same. You left so much love and kindness in others .
My prays are with you and your love
ones at this time.
.(WHAT A GREAT LOSS
TO US ALL) GOOD BUY MY FRIEND.

Lisa and family,
I can't express the extent of my sorrow and grief for you. My family and I are still in shock . .so hard to believe. We've lost one of our leaders, our brother, our champion and personally, my hero. Having fought so many battles and come out the champ, personally and for all of us . .what a great man. He'll always be here with me, not just his memory, but all the wonderful things he did for us .. I see all around me. His strength, generosity and pride will give me the courage to live the way he'd want. I hope some day to be half the man he was. . and to be remembered with so much love. May God bless you and your family during this time and always. Warren (Doc)

From the moment my husband and I met Harry and Lisa when Morgan was a baby, we were instant friends and now more like family. The void that is in our life now cannot be replaced. Harry Turner touched people in a way that no one else can. My heart breaks for his family. There are not enough tears to shed to help alleviate this loss of a human being that gave to so many and took from none. Harry, we love you with all our hearts.

Reto..........
My dear loving brother, you will always have a place in my heart.
I thank God for having our paths to cross in life, to form such a binding friendship of pure love. Ride on Reto and may the moon guide you at night and God's wings forever protect you on your everlasting journery home.
Love Always
