Each and every time I had the opportunity to speak with Reverend Turner was always very uplifting. He was always very polite, respectful, and genuine. No matter what the topic of conversation was, his attitude was always positive. Many of the conversations with Reverend Turner were with regards to family. It was easy to see how proud he was of his. My prayer is that God will give you strength and comfort during this time.
