Please add our prayers and best wishes for peace in this time of transition for Catherine and all the children. I always loved both his parents, naming my daughter after my Aunt Elizabeth. He was our most senior first cousin and always set the bar for gracious southern hospitality. He will be missed. Sincerely, George, Paula, Ross & Heather Elizabeth Norton

Margie's daddy always brightened my day and made me laugh. He was quick to tell a joke or share a story. He and Margie's mom always made me feel like I was family and they have their own special place in my heart. Heaven will be so much brighter with him there. I love you Margie, Mrs. Turner and all the rest of the Turner gang. Had I known sooner, I would have been there. I am with you in spirit and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, he might be gone but never will be forgotten.
