Dear Family and Friends of David A. Turton: You are in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Although we do not understand why Heavenly Father takes our loved ones at various ages and stages in life, yet we trust in God to hold us in His loving care. David has been "promoted to glory." Apostle Paul explained that to be "absent from the body" is to be "present with the Lord." Jesus Christ promised to "prepare a place" which reminds us that Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. May God's grace be your comfort and encouragement until we all are re-united for eternity. Our son Billy passed 20 August 1973, Mary Wygant from Cream Ridge NJ wrote this poem in his memory: "Never too young to be with God, though it be a sorrowful day For those on earth left alone and sad to know he has gone away. Never too young to be with God. . . Just a little while ago He came from God. . . If God calls back The Loan . . . It is surely better so." We are just loaned to each other now, and sooner or later we return to our Creator and Redeemer. Until then, may the Holy Spirit lead, guide, and provide you with sufficient faith, hope, and love for the rest of the journey. Sincerely, Pastor Bob and Sandy Turton
