Sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle George.  I just now found out or would have paid my respects for the Turner family.  He certainly was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed.  
Love and prayers for the entire family.

To the entire Baum Family,
I was so sorry to read of George’s death.  I grew up as neighbors with the Baum family and just a few years younger than George.  He was always such a kind, gentle, good hearted guy.  I saw him just a few times over the years but saw Bobby and his wife a few times more.  I remember the whole Baum family as such lovely people and send you all love, prayers and many healing thoughts for your comfort and peace.
Love,
Beverly Byerly Jordan
