Our deepest and most sincere condolences to Sam's family. Sam was a shipmate and friend. We will all miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful wife Ruby and their family. Thank you Sam for your service, guidance and support.
On behalf of the GCosby family, we were all heartbroken when the news of the passing of Deacon Turner, a brother and true a true friend. We are praying with and for sister Ruby and the Turner family. We have visited them on several occasions at their beautiful ranch attended church services and enjoyed their great hospitality. He showed my son and I how to build a retaining wall that's just the kind of person he was. RIP
My dearest brother, that beautiful smile and deep hearty laughter will be forever remembered. Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean, I'll miss you until we meet again!
Love , Anneโฅ๏ธ
Deacon and Sister Turner were adopted by me after we were all seeking a church home. After recognizing that we kept showing up at the same worship services, we all decided that it was okay for me to adopt them as my Church Parents. I will miss getting a hug and a kind word from my "POP's" every Sunday. He will never know how much his fatherly standing meant in my life. I appreciate you showing me love and acknowledging me as your church daughter. I LOVE You Pops and will forever miss your comforting presence. I KNOW You will keep watching over MOM, she still needs you. Also, Please continue to watch over me and Rest well in Heaven. With MUCH LOVE, YOUR Church Daughter -VIVIAN
