There is no one like my Uncle Horace. His smile, his laugh, his love for his family and friends are worthy of imitation.
I am going to miss him so much! My prayer now is for our Heavenly Father to begin the healing process, to comfort the hearts of his wife, children, brothers and sisters. He will do so because He is the "God of all comfort' who sooths our hearts when we are in this much pain.
I love you "TRG"!

May God Bless And Comfort You
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.
At times like this when we don't know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won't do and you don't know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way
When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won't do
May God bless and comfort you

Thank you to the family for allowing us the students of HHS to be a part of your family. He pushed us to do good. As for me I made it to his office one time and it was enough for me. I had never been in trouble before and he made me sit in his office for half a day. He didn't let me catch the bus. He drove me home. It was the longest 15mins of my life. Never got in trouble again. He will be missed.
