On April 4,2008, Terry Turner, Jr. and I became the proud parents of a beautiful nine-pound girl that we named Terriana. I also have a 15-year-old son named Ivan, so Terry became a father double-time and he was the best. He truly loved our children. Right after Terriana was born, Terry and I married on April 16,2008, at City Hall in San Francisco.
January 13,2011 was a Thursday, a pretty much regular day except for a few comments that now three-year-old Terriana made about her Daddy that caught my ear. On the way home from pre-school, she said to me,”My Daddy’s gone.” Later that day, I put her to bed and my phone rang. I let the machine pickup the call and I could hear my sister-in-law’s voice. Earlier that day, Terry was chased into a San Francisco coffee shop and shot numerous times in face and head. The shooter then took a laptop bag out of Terry’s hands then shot him again.
On January 14, 2011, the shooter was caught – a man who had known Terry for many years. Next week will be a year since Terry’s murder. I was in court on January 5th and still there is no set date for trial.
I have lost almost all my friends to gun violence. For what reason? My heart goee out to all who are suffering from their loss of a loved ones.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING NOT JUST ME, BUT ALL WHO ARE SHARING THEIR STORIES AND TRIBUTES OF LOVED ONES.
PEACE AND BLESSINGS
Mrs. Terry Turner
