This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Timmy Scott Turner who was born in the United States on April 2, 1964 and passed away on March 9, 1970, at the age of 6. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
by Hans Christian Andersen
Then the child opened its eyes, and looked up into the angel's beautiful face, which beamed with happiness, and at the same moment they were in heaven, where joy and bliss reigned. The child received wings like the other angel, and they flew about together, hand in hand.
When God Calls Little Children
When God calls little children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
So He picks a little rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, so He takes but a few
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still, somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children... angels are hard to find.
A PARENT'S PRAYER
Dear God,
You sent a child to me
To fill my life with joy,
And only You knew which was best --
A little girl or boy.
Somehow I took for granted, Lord,
That we would have a lifetime,
And I made so many future plans
For that precious child of mine.
Enchanted by that Miracle,
Caught up in each new day,
I guess I didn't hear You, Lord,
When You said, "This one can't stay."
I trust You, Lord. Thy will; not mine,
Yet I can't understand
This sudden loss -- the emptiness --
Caused by another's hand.
I know my child's an angel now
But my heart is aching so.
I'm sorry I wasn't ready, Lord,
To let my baby go.
There wasn't time for one last hug;
There was no final kiss.
Oh God, it's all those special smiles
That I already miss.
So Lord, could you do just one thing
For me especially?
Please hold my angel close to You
And say goodbye for me. Amen

Mom, I'm An Angel Now
One Night I cried to Jesus
as I sat beneath the tree,
I looked into the open sky
and hoped, He'd answer me.
"I'm lost dear Lord, I've traveled far,
but I still seem to roam.
Please light the way and lead me, Lord,
I need to get back home".
I told Him of my burdens
and of the sadness in my heart,
That from His gracious love
I'd never felt so apart.
"Why did you take my child Lord?
I cannot understand!
I'm angry Lord, I'm missing him,
I'm drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday
and face each new tomorrow."
It was then I heard his gentle voice,
and felt his presence near,
How I wanted to hold him
as I cried another tear.
He said, "Mom, I'm an angel now,
my spirit will be free,
I'm an angel now in Heaven,
so please don't cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above
and now I'm in his care,
When you need me, look inside your heart,
I promise to be there.
No one can ever take away
our bond with one another.
For I'll always be your precious child,
as you will always be my Mother.
So if you can not find your way,
or the road to home seems far,
Just look up to the Heavens
and I'll be your guiding star."
Your children are not your children
by Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
