My deepest sympathy. Eileen was an awesome fun lady.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I’m so thankful for the years I had with Mom Turner and was so Blessed to have had her in my life and to have called her Mom. Coming to Omaha will never be the same without being able to see her. She was such a blessing to Ashanti and I and she will be missed so much.
We’re sending sympathy to you Debbie and your family learning that your mother passed. ❤️🙏🏻
