Brenda and Natalie Turner Memorial
As most are aware, there was a tragedy this past Friday involving the deaths of my mother, Brenda Turner, and sister, Natalie Turner. As we are organizing memorials for these two amazing woman who lived short lives on this Earth, we ask if you send any donations to this page to help cover any costs. Any help would be much appreciated in our time of grievance. We want to give them both the memorial service they both deserve. As we are planning services, this post will be updated on dates and times you can attend to mourn.
