I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. P SALMS 121:2-8

Remember when you miss me and I am on your mind; although you will not see me I’ll be just a step behind. When your life on earth is over and your soul is finally free; believe me when I tell you, you’ll be coming home with me. I had to leave you as my time on earth was through; loved ones waited for me just as I will wait for you. I missed them and I am happy to be with them again; I want you all to know I’m here with family God gave me many tasks he wishes me to do; high up on the list is watching over all of you. Don’t think I do not hear you because I am out of sight; remember I am with you every morning, noon and night. When your load gets heavy don’t cry too many tears; then I can whisper to you what you will need to hear. I always will be near you to guide you through each day; remember when you need me I am just a thought away. Our love will build a highway and our memories a lane; I’ll walk right down from heaven and be with you again. Remember when you miss me and I am on your mind; although you will not see me I’ll be just a step behind. When your life on earth is over and your soul is finally free; believe me when I tell you, you’ll be coming home with me.

My dearest friends and family there are things I’d like to say; first of all I’ll let you know I arrived here safe today. I am sending word from heaven where I’ll dwell with God above; there are no tears and sorrow, there is only peace and love.

Our hearts are heavy and the weight increases each day, From the pain that we felt, the day you went away. We have been feeling a bit empty; the whole thing seems odd, Our strength seemed to weaken, and then a thought came to us, “But God.” Our fears were for this, if it would get any harder, Then we remember the Almighty, “Thy Heavenly Father.” No more pains OUR DEAR MOTHER; you have earned your reward, We can just see you with your wings now, “Thank you Lord.” Rest in peace our love, until that golden day, When we’re all together again, when He calls us your way… Your Loving, Daughters

We knew little that morning, That God would call your name. In life, we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Legacy of Love A mother, a grandma, a great grandma, and a great great grandmother too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us to love and how to fight. You gave us strength; you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, and in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife, not just as a mother. For all of us, you gave your best. And now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep. Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.

Granny’s Little Angels Granny, you are special. Your love knows no bounds. A room takes special warmth whenever you’re around. You think I’m cute and talented and maybe even wise, But I know that’s why all grandparents see through loving eyes. Every day with you was precious, I’m so grateful for the time. Of all the grandparents in the world, I’m thankful that you were mine.

Forever In Our Hearts

There is such great comfort in the assurance that we are not alone in this hour of our great loss. That assurance is affirmed by the many warm and sincere expressions of comfort and sympathy each of you have shown. We extend gratitude for all acts of kindness and concern during this season. Your personal visits, telephone calls, delicious food, cards, beautiful floral arrangements and especially your fervent prayers, are deeply appreciated. May the rich and abundant blessings of the Lord be upon each of you. The love you’ve shown to us will never be forgotten The Family of Alice Faye Turner Pallbearers Anthony Nixon Tony Young Keith Frazier Corey Frazier Corby Frazier Eddie Hall John Hall Michael Alexander Gerry Brown Chartle Burns Anthony Lakes Honorary Pallbearers Frank N.
