RAY TURNER
1928 - 2009
My beloved husband has a new address. While he will always be a part of our current home, Ray was given ownership of a beautiful mansion. Wrapped in Jesus' arms, he was taken to see his new heavenly home on October 28.
For the last 3 days of life, his family gathered around him. Grandchildren read him letters they had written for him. Hugs, pats, kisses, and loving touches were given freely by everyone there.
Ray is and will always be, a very loved man. Not only by his family, but from the many lives he touched. It was an honor and a total joy to share 27 years with one of the finest, most wonderful men that God ever created. As a warrior, he battled a long illness with courage and dignity. He touched all who came in his presence by his peacefulness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and his acceptance of the illness. He happily shared with everyone, the anticipation he had for Heaven, while expressing reluctance to leave his loved ones. Torn between staying and leaving, he fought to be with us one more day, for years. Today he is travelling streets of gold, in a perfect, healthy body.
Ray fought the good fight, ran the race, and kept the faith. Now he wears a crown of righteousness that was laid up for him in Heaven.
Gone from our sight, Ray lives on in our beating hearts. Today, I am sure he is doing what 2 grandchildren asked of him. They made a specific request, to tell Jesus "hi". I have no doubt, that was one of the first things this loving man did.
