To all the Taylor family: Death is a reality
that we all must face someday,it is hard to
bear,our hearts hurt and our souls are laid
bare. We turn to family,our church family and
I pray, to our ever loving God. I pray today,
that He will wrap his arms and His Grace
around each of you. He has promised that
He will never leave or forsake us and I am
convinced of that truth, but we still have
to grieve for those that go before us, just
as someone will grieve when we are gone and
that is okay, so miss those you loved,cry
when you need to and reach out for those
precious memories, hold them close and lean
on our loving God. May God continue to bless
each of you. In His Love. Horace
