She was dead on arrival at the hospital. She had give her life to the Lord just a short time before this had happened. Bill spent seven years in prison for his crime. After he was released from prison he raised their child. The Turner name was not added to her headstone because he had taken her away from us and we didn't want the name of Turner on the stone. On the day Bill died in 2003, Patricia, Gwen, Kathy and Eddie (their child together) was at his bedside when he went to meet his maker. We had forgiven him for the crime he had committed against our mother and her children. Just remember you have to forgive in order to be forgiven.
