I remember as a little girl going to Pueblo with Grandma Turner to see Aunt Mary. She always seemed glad to see us and was such a sweetheart. I know she was loved and will be greatly missed. May God hold each of you in the palm of His hand and give you the comfort you need.
Love to all,
Tammie (Turner) Maier
