To the whole Turner family…..My thoughts are with you today. Pat was my cousin (as you know) and I have so many memories of her and Buzz growing up. Riding horses, playing cards, playing music/old time records on Auntie Bub’s record player. We use to visit them on the ranch several times a year while living in Montana, and later when we moved to New Mexico, we made the trip up to the ranch once a year. Also I remember having Thanksgiving dinner at your mom/dad’s place when I was in college up there. Loved Pat’s sense of humor. Ann (Noyes) Grimes.
