In this brief testimony, Shirley Turner (numbers 23‑6) explains the personal significance of a silver necklace engraved with the biblical verse, “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” She recounts that the necklace was a heartfelt gift from her dear friend Joni Stewart, who has since passed away. Joni’s playful comment, “Surely Shirley deserves that gift,” deepened the emotional value of the piece. Shirley chose this particular scripture because it resonated with her sense of divine goodness and mercy, and she intends to cherish the necklace as a lasting memorial to Joni’s love and their shared faith.

All my life. So my name is Shirley Turner. My numbers are 23-6, and the scripture is, "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever." And it was given to me by one of my dear sweet friends that's passed away, and she gave it to me in a gift. And her little joke was, "Surely Shirley deserves that gift," and I'll cherish it forever. And when I was asked what scripture I wanted to go on my necklace, there's so many 'Great One' is the first one that popped in my head. So in memory of Joni Stewart, I picked it after her.
