Kellie and Family, We were so shocked to learn that Paul has passed on to Glory. We are longtime members of the Turner Fan Club. Paul was amazing in his seemingly tireless and insightful leadership and service to others in the name of his Lord and Savior. Cortni, you were so courageous and elegant in sharing your heart for your loving dad. I know that Paul passed on with the peace of knowing his family was secure in their salvation and faith. We pray for your awareness of God's ongoing Grace. With Love, ~ Homer & Shirley Bullard, Sherman, Texas
