Aubrey,
You were more than a cousin to me. You were like a brother/father figure to me my whole life. You were such a strong man and will forever be missed. It all seams unreal and this world will not be the same without you in it. Go rest high on that mountain, dance with Barbara, laugh with your brothers, and hug your parents.
Until we meet again,
Fred Turner

Hug Eddy, Randall, Tricia, Mama and Daddy for me. Hug Pat and all of our other loved ones up there. I never thought that I would lose three sweet brothers this fast! I will always miss you and love you!
