I had the privilege to meet Mr. and Mrs. Taggart this spring. Their kindness and devotion to each other serves to inspire all who knew them. Though I only knew them for a few month, it was indeed and honor. May God's peace be upon their family.

Doug and family I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'll always remember your dad standing at the PeeWee games we coached and cheering on the teams. The world lost but heaven gained a good man. Your mom and dad will reunite.
