I am sorry you have lost your husband, father and friend. My dad, Kenneth Allen, always spoke very highly of Mr. Turley. He passed two years ago this August, so I grieve with you in your loss.

Dennis and Christin: My thought and prayers are with you both and your entire family. If you don't recall who I am, I baby sat for Christin when her mother would go to work on the weekends years ago. Stanley and I enjoyed spending time with you all back then. God Bless You and Keep You.

My deepest sympathy to you Christin and your grandmother. I know how deeply you loved your Grandfather.

I only met him at your wedding and he surrounded me with warmth and welcoming hugs. He was truly a jewel and giant of a man.

My prayers are with you in the days and months ahead.

Sincerely,

Dear Dennis & Deanna,
I was very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Deanna, I tried to find you on Facebook to send you a note that way, but I had no luck. I know the pain all too well of losing parents. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Please give my love to Christin too. Take care, and God bless. Sincerely, Caryee Smith
