Aunt Mildred, so many years have passed since we last spoke, but I have thought of you often with love.  
Beautiful memories are silently kept of an aunt we loved dearly and will never forget.
May you rest in peace with my Dad, as well as the many that went to heaven before you.
Love Always,
Billie Marie Markey (Mecham)

Mother was a delight to so many people.  She worked hard & stayed cheerful through every storm that came her way.  It is so good to think of her never suffering again like she did with dementia for so long. She accepted Jesus as her Savior when Dad was drafted in WWII. There she was with four small children, & it was fearful for her indeed.  She cried out to God for help and told God she'd take her kids to church if He would bring her husband home. At that moment a young pastor knocked on her door and invited her to his nearby church.  Mother's life was changed as she gave her life to Jesus.  She kept her word & sure enough, Dad came back only after nine months when the war ended.   Because of Mother calling out to God & because of her prayers, the whole family knows about Jesus our Savior and most all follow Him as far as we know.  God's mercy is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him and His righteousness goes to children's children.  (Psalm 103:17).  All of Mother's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have been impacted greatly by her life plus all the relatives and  friendships in her life. What joy was hers when she saw Jesus face to face on August 18th  &  ran into those same everlasting arms of love that were nailed to the Cross to  forgive and save her & to save us all.  I'm sure she heard those words, "Well done, good & faithful servant."  What had she done to deserve those words? Something we can all do at any time & in any situation:  believe that God loves us & receive Jesus as our Lord & Savior.  John 6:29 tells us the work of God:  believe in Him  (Jesus) whom He sent.   Jesus did all the work for us,  & met every qualification for us and gave us HIS righteousness when He went to the Cross for us.  (2 Corinthians 5:21)  Mother believed & received Him & He is the one who empowered her to keep on keeping on no matter what.  She was a blessing to us all.     We will see our mom again one day.....and what joy it will be!!!! 

I shall always remember my beautiful Mother.  I shall miss her forever.   I rejoice that she is now in Heaven.  She was a born-again believer in Jesus Christ.  She was the wife of her husband, Wayne Turner for over sixty years.  She was the Mother of 5 children...with many grandchildren, and great great Grandchildren.  She loved her family.   Before old  age prohibited it, she loved to have huge Thanksgiving dinners at her home,  and large family Christmas parties.   She sang all day long every day!!   I grew up with it, and missed it when I married.  She wasn't perfect, none of us are,  but she was a wonderful Mother.   She is now joined in heaven with my Dad, my sister Jo, her Mother and many siblings and friends.  I will be with her again in Heaven one day and for all eternity.   Praise God.   I am thankful that she is no longer living in a state of Dementia, that she lived in for over  eight years.  She is gloriously alive and happy in the presence of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.  

My Thoughts and prayers and Love to all of you and  your families. My heart is broken  but know she has been welcomed 
Into  Heaven with so many loving Arms.
She  was such a joy to be  around  and loved her laughter especially when she was with all her sisters  their laughter was contagious .She was the greatest. Aunt.
She will be Truly missed by all. My love to each of you .
Our Sincere Sympathy 
Carol
