MERRY CHRISTMAS

One thing I have been made well aware of the past year, is that life is for ever changing. That with each passing day, each passing hour and even to the passing minutes there is change.
I am so grateful for having a strong family. I have seen some heavy burdens placed on us this past year. And through it all we have survived. I have said many time this year that it is all a TEST of FAITH. I truly believe this and have seen it with my own two eyes.
Lee is fighting every day to keep on trucking. He will continue to do so until they tell him "NO MORE". Thank you for all you do. No one can still keep up with you.
Grateful to have a job in these time and happy to do it.
Amanda has made great strides in the past few years. Even to the point of owning her own home now.
And to be raising some of the nicest children. She is also a hard worker and keeps The Pizza house a float. She has done remarkable!
Megan and Scott have had a very long year. So many things have crossed their path. So many hardships and yet they have grown so close. Each knowing how it feels to have lost a piece of them. Scott I am so proud of the way you have stood strong for your family. You have been the solid foundation during some very trying times. Meg, God bless your strong spirit. You have lived through one of the things that would have dissolved me. Losing a child has been one of my greatest fears. And to have gone through it and then to have had Lincoln so early! You are my hero.
Brandon and Shayla you to have came a long way baby. Still newly weds and to have taken on the responsibility of owning a home and also having Talan. Lots of changes for you as well. Talan is one of the high lights for 2009. Grandpa is so happy to have him here.
Kellie and Ashley as well have had a heck of a year. But they to have grown in some real strong ways also. I know you plates are full with those darling boys and Mia. I am proud of the way you are holding it together. Thank you for being such a good example for the kids. It will pay off in the end. I promise......
Merry Christmas to every one and and may 2010 bring us all many blessing.

With this Thanksgiving I have remembered all of the reason I have to be THANKFUL. We have had a very trying year to say the least. And to be quiet honest I would rather not go over it one more time. I would rather look to the future and the year to come. With that said here is to 2010, maybe the road be bright and full of smooth roads ahead.
To EVERYONE I LOVE AND LOVE ME THANK YOU.........YOU HAVE HELPED MOLD ME TO WHAT I AM TODAY.

Well here is the mends to my neglect

I am so proud of my Brother

Saturday 29, was a hot August day. It was the day the family and friends gathered to say their last goodbyes to David C. Turner. After forty four years on this earth he has now returned to Heavenly Father and to the arms of a Mother who never got but a few short years with him on earth. She, herself was taken at a very early age of forty five years of age.
What are glorious day for the four of them to reunite. My Dad, Mother, J.E., and David all got to celebrate my Mothers birthday on the 22, and I will say I am a bit jealous! Of course I am no where ready to leave my family here on earth, but how I long to see my Mother and Father again and that day will come. I have a lot of years here on this earth to watch my children and grandchildren grow, blossom and live their life's.
I know that David would have loved to have stayed to do the same, but it was not to be.
David had so many good things said about him, that I am PROUD to say HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S IS MY BROTHER, AND I AM PROUD OF YOU!

I am so over 2009

This has by far been a year from hades. I am so over it. The year started out with the passing of my Grandson Colten James Brown and has gone down hill since. I have lost a Colton, Uncle Bud Turner,
Uncle Bob Greenleaf, Uncle Glen Skeem, a good friend Jeff Mitchell and now my baby brother, David C. Turner.
We will be having a memorial service for David on saturday in Monroe, UT. It will be held at his, Chris, Amber, Melissa, Justin and Jocob home.
Rascal Flatts has a two songs that I am feeling so strongly about right now. One being
It's Not Supposed to Go Like That, and the other is Why. Both have touched a part in my heart and say most of what I am feeling. I would like to express to all my loved ones and dear friends how much I LOVE EACH OF YOU. And would like to publicly say to each of you how dear you are to me and that i cherish you as a part of my life. Thank you for the blessing you have all brought to my life.
Dear Father in heaven, Please give us all a rest.
Love Lorie and Amen.
