Family News
We have to share the news with you that George Turner passed away on Sunday 6th November in hospital. The words "True Gentleman" are often batted around, but we can hardly think of anyone that they apply to more than George. He was a man of real warmth and love, and he will be deeply missed. He was man of deep faith whose hope was rooted in Jesus, in whose presence he now stands, and whose welcoming smile he has now seen. Thank You God for George, and thank You God for Jesus.
