We love you Great Grandma, we will see you again in Heaven. Sending lots of love and prayers.
Tony we were so sorry to read about your mother’s passing. Scott and I will be remembering the family in prayer.
Mrs. Betty- we are so saddened to hear of Mrs. Norma’s passing. It’s bittersweet because we’re sad she’s not here with us, but I’m so glad she’s in heaven with her husband. She’s whole again, not in any pain and he was waiting for her at the gates. I know you all are grieving right now, but I like to think it’s not goodbye, but I’ll see you later. We will be keeping you and the family lifted in prayers. We love you. Dorral, Janet and Janae Wofford
Norma,was always so kind to Faith and me, such a wonderful grandmother and mother-in-law. We remained in contact through social media and I know she always expressed her warmest sentiments to me..
I know she loved God and is Home in Heaven with her Phil now.
My condolences to the Turner family and to all of those who loved her.
I will toast to her memory with an RC!
