    Dear Turner family, we are so sorry to learn of the loss of Max. He and Marilyn were such a wonder couple. We went back to the days of the Jaycees and had many laughs and good times. Rest assured that he is at peace and is happy to be reunited with Marilyn. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

    We are very sorry to hear about the passing of you dad. I know you will miss him a lot. But just remember one day you will see him and your mother, and have a great reunion. Our prayers are with you and Rich, and the boys. We are sorry we cannot be there, but I am sure you know we don’t live there anymore. If you and Rich ever get to Noblesville look us up, we would love to see you both.

    Uncle Max was so very special to me. I am sorry that I am unable to attend the service for him, but you all know that you are all in my thoughts. I am fortunate that I was able to be with him last Sunday. Max was a believer and I am sure he will be comforted now that he has joined Aunt Marilyn. To God we belong and to Him return.

    love
    Brenda, Maan, Rayna, Nadia, Mark, Miya, Graham
