Terry Turner-may the Lord grant you peace

Hello, I'm Brittany Turner, the eldest daughter of Terry and Lynn Turner. I took on the role of caring for my father during the last year of his life.

In August 2022, my dad suffered a major stroke that left him with right-side paralysis and expressive aphasia. To make matters more complicated, he developed a severe UTI, leading to the discovery of stage 4 prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones. Later in November, he experienced a grand mal seizure, which necessitated round-the-clock care and supervision. As December came around, we learned of significant artery blockages, making surgery an impossible option due to his other medical conditions. Unfortunately, the aggressive nature of his cancer caused the prostate tumor to grow rapidly, ultimately led to his passing.

This fundraiser holds immense significance for our family. The funds raised will help alleviate the substantial medical bills and expenses incurred during his decline. The cost of his care over the past year has been exorbitant. With over 160 days spent in the hospital, my mother and I had to be there every day to advocate for him as he struggled to communicate and perform basic tasks. This commitment prevented us from working traditional 9-5 jobs, making managing our daily expenses a constant challenge. We relied heavily on credit cards and depleted our savings to ensure his proper care before hospice care started.

If you'd like to support our family during this challenging time, we would deeply appreciate any contributions. If you prefer to donate directly, please reach out to my mother or me privately. We also kindly request your positive thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. On behalf of the Turner family, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have been a source of support during this trying period in our lives.

We plan to hold a celebration of life for Terry in Michigan next summer. We have not chosen a specific date yet.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering helping us.

Sincerely,

Brittany Turner
