There are no words to comfort you in this time, but know you are in thoughts and prayers of many people and the Lord has you covered
This beautiful lady (Turk) has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. I know she is rejoicing with Foxy and her many friends (that are like family). Turk I love you and you will always be in my most fondest memories.
Prayers for you and your family. May you find comfort and strength in the Lord.
What a wonderful person with one of the best smiles I’ve ever seen! Prayers for the family!
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very difficult time.
