We're truly sorry to have learned of your loved one's passing our sincere condolences to the whole entire Turner family and relatives R.I.P Mr. Sammie. Rita(Rodney)Burns Patton

As Sammie's girlfriend and his daughter's mother, I loved him more than he knew. Our daughter, Sarai, was his heart. I was his love. God was his soul. We shared many happy and joyful moments together as a family. I picked a purple candle, to represent Sammie's love for his daughter and I. Purple was also his favorite color. May God be with us all as we grieve the loss of Sammie. Rest assured that he's with God. When Sarai and I sang, " Take me to the King ", karaoke style, in his ICU room, he moved his hands as though, he had truly found God and needed his time with God. Sarai and I were glad we could sing to him because it was God, that touched the nurse's hearts, to allow us up there that day. It was in God's plans for us to be there. Thank you Lord for your comfort and love during this difficult time.

May GOD be with the entire family during this difficult time. I can remember all the laughs we shared together when he worked at Intermero and the laughs at the cookie booths of him pushing those Girl Scout cookie sales to reach his daughter's goals.Praying that the family can also find peace with one another in Sammie's memory.

Our prayers goes out to the Turner Family,The Britton Family
