Rest Well Uncle Thurman ❤ ♥ Sincere Condolences to My Family…Terri, Bari, Annie Pollack, Ann Hensley, Nettie (Vermelle) and all grandchildren,nieces,nephews, cousins..
To Thurmans family, you have all my prayers and love. All of us here at Clear Bay Terrace Apartments loved Thurman. Thurman always had a smile to give and liked to laugh. Thurman was loved by everyone and he lived here so many years , that he knew many of the residents for years. I know you are no longer in any pain and you are now with the Lord whom you loved dearly. I know you are now singing some sweet music in heaven !!!
God Bless all of you xoxoxox
My deepest condolences to the family. I met Thurman years ago when he would pick my grandchildren up on the bus to take them to Calvary Church every Saturday morning. My grandchildren looked forward to going every week. Later on I moved into the same building where Thurman lived and he was a very good neighbor. Thurman was a kind gentleman and he will be missed!
