"My sincere condolences to the entire Turner Family; my prayers are with all of you in this time of grief.
Ah Jimmy, we shared so many great times growing up - from our early school days on through college, to sharing meals at your Mom's kitchen table, and just 'goofing off' on your huge side yard. You taught me to ride a motorcycle and I taught you how to drive - well, at least the first part is true.
You'll always be a part of my fondest memories. May God bless your soul, and grant peace to your family."
