To All of the Taylor Family:
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma.
She was such a wonderful kind lady. At our afternoon get togethers we had so much fun and laughs she had such a great sense of humor. Once in a while on Tuesdays we would decide to order pizza and she was always in for that idea.
Heaven has a wonderful angel who I am going to miss so much.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult and sad time.
