I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Taylor. I always enjoyed seeing his smiling face. He will be missed by many. I will be praying for his family.
I will miss seeing his daughter and always remember him and his wife as the most sharp dressed people that I know. They always had me laughing and he always came hungry.
Sonya (Twinkles) May God give you peace in the days to come. I’m saddened to hear about the loss of your dad (my brother). I’ve learned that in the life you can change just about anything but you can’t change who your family members are. I’m thank God for the brief introduction of know that I had other brothers and sisters. The times we did spend together will always be cherished and forever enshrined in my heart you were a young child when I was introduced to Big Jim’s family. The beautiful young lady you have become, I would imagine He was very proud of you. Please know that I feel your pain. Only the Lord can heal deep pain. He is the Prince of Peace and He rides into what may seem the worst of situations on the wings of hope. His divine hand over us gives sense to the events that seemed tragic. He knows how to orchestrate your pain and somehow bring out a blessing. He is the restorer of your soul. May Hod Nless you and your family!
Love you bunches,
Freda (Taylor ) Shaw and N’Kayla Mitchell
