I’m really sorry Bonnie. No words.
Dave and family: I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
Condolences to the Turkaly family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
My Uncle Ed was a great man. He was always positive and up for laughs. We shared a lot of good times on Fridays and Saturdays watching boxing after we went to the Moose Lodge. My Uncle helped me find my first apartment in DC, gave me great advice as I was getting my career established, and helped me to stay positive in trying times. Uncle Ed, you are loved and will be truly missed.
