Deb (and Mark) and to all the Turk Family.
My sincere expression of sympathy. Deb we worked together at the Public Health Dept. along with my sister, Sandy. Your folks were lived in Crosby where my mother and her family also lived. Your beloved dad, Lloyd, would have graduated high-school one-year prior to my Mom, but likely with her brother. I recall that we shared many memories of our parents and their roots in Crosby.
I hope you get this message and know that Sandy and I are thinking of you and yours, as well all of the Turk family at this most difficult time. You are all in our hearts and prayers. We hope that fond memories of good times with your Dad, grandfather, uncle, will help to sustain you at this difficult time and in the days & weeks ahead. Loss is never easy, especially when it is our beloved parents. God bless you all.
Blessings and sincere sympathy,
Carolyn
