Papa Turner

Two years ago today I lost my Papa Turner. I would like to take just a few moments to recognize and remember him. My papa Turner passed away two years ago from a long battle with cancer. He taught me so many things throughout my short time with him. My papa was a true Godly man with incredible love for people but most importantly his Savior. Even throughout his sickness he was the strongest man I had ever met. He faced death head on and was so unafraid. His faith in our wonderful God gave him peace and comfort in knowing not only would he be at one with His Savior but that his family would be ok. My grandfather did not have the easiest of lives but you not know it by his loving heart. He would do anything for anyone especially his family. He was truly the "head" of our family. I have never felt more safe with anyone than I did when I was with him.
Two years have passed and I still grieve his passing. Today has not been an easy day but I do know that he is where he would want to be and I am so very happy knowing that he is in no more pain. He will always be missed by our family. His impact on my life will last forever!!
Love you papa!
