The family of Geoffrey Turner wishes to express our sincere thanks for the flowers and other expressions of love during our
time of bereavement.
-The Turner and Wells Family
To say I'm not going to miss you, would be a lie Even if we didn't always see eye to eye
There were many trials and tribulations we would go through But for each other there was nothing we wouldn't do I may not have agreed with everything you would do
But I can honestly say, as a BROTHER you was loyal and true Jeff "CORNBREAD" that was his nickname
No matter how you addressed liim, he was always the same "Baby SIS" was his nickname for me And in my heart he will forever be
Although I'm going to miss him deeply MY comfort will come from knowing he is pain free
From this earth. He may be gone But in my heart he will forever live on.
R.I.P. Love You
