Emma Grace's Life Testimony

by Fran Wilson Turner on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 9:56am

EMMA GRACE:     She got the name Grace Because she lived in the womb when they said she may not,
she survived birth even when they said there may not be a chance, then she came home all by God's
grace.  Little did we know that her grace from God was only beginning.  God had some very important
work for Emma to do.  Through a series of events that God laid out Emma led her family to New Heart Baptist  Church.  Once there Jesus knocked on the hearts of Emma's mom, dad, and her uncle Daniel.  As they all accepted Jesus as their Savior.  Emma also revived and renewed the relationships of many other people with God.  She taught her family a love like no other and was tough and fought through and endured so many struggles in this world.  See Emma was born with a very rare genetic disorder that had never been seen before, she had a congenital heart defect requiring open heart surgery and she could not hear or barely see without the help of her glasses.  We knew about her heart before she was born but had no idea until after birth of all the other struggles she would have to endure when she entered this world
on February 4th, 2010.  She touched and blessed so many people that only an angel on earth with the
grace of God could do such special work.  Emma had open heart surgery on May 3rd, 2011 and spent 56
days in the PICU at Kentucky Children's Hospital, she had complications from her surgery that she would never over come.  On June 27th, 2011 she was brought home to enjoy time with her family with the
help of hospice.  She got to enjoy and be enjoyed by her family at home for another two weeks before
God called her home on July 11th, 2011.  Now Emma Grace is an angel in heaven, her work here is done,
but just know that what's important now is that Emma Grace wants the blessed assurance of those around  her of their future in heaven with her.  She struggles no more for the utmost happiness she has finally
received as she wants us to someday rejoice in happiness with her.  Emma Grace's final message that
she leaves for us all is PLEASE  don't leave here today if you haven't already secured your future in heaven  with her.  If you don't know Jesus as your personal savior find someone to pray with you that you may
spend your eternity in heaven with Emma Grace!


Emma Grace was called home as God's newest Angel on Monday July 11th, 2011.  She was loved and a blessing to so
many in her short but sweet time in this world.  She touched so many people with her special grace and her endurance of so many struggles.  She will forever be in our hearts and an inspiration to many.  We are thankful for the time we were
allowed to enjoy her in our lives.

Emma is survived by her Parents, Lucas and Fran; her twin brother Easton Bailey; her big sister Kailey Adisen.

Visitation was Wednesday, July 13th, and Funeral service held on Thursday July 14th, 2011.


I'VE GOT MORE TO GO TO HEAVEN FOR
 Verse 1:
I've been on my way to Heaven
For a long, long time.
And many things have happened
That clouded up my mind.
But I am more determined
To walk the narrow way
 I've got more to go to Heaven for
Than I had yesterday.

Chorus:
There's a golden street to walk upon
A bell I'm gonna ring,
A brand-new angel in the choir
And I want to hear her sing.
There'll be a lot of friends a-waiting
When I walk through the gate
And I've got more to go to Heaven for
Than I had yesterday.

Verse 2:
I've been through the lonesome valleys
I've climbed the highest hill,
I've known the joy of living
In the center of God's will.
I've watched the angels come and take
My loved ones home to stay
And I've got more to go to Heaven for
Than I had yesterday.





Emma Grace Turner: February 4th, 2010 - July 11th, 2011
