To the Turner/Jelks family. I did not know Naomi, but after attending her funeral, I could tell that she was dearly loved. You and your family have my heartfelt sympathy. God would not bring you this far just to leave you. I pray that he will keep you in his loving care. God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 146.1



God bless you and your family.



Sincerely, Dora Engram
