Taylor was one I could turn to when I didn't know who else to turn to. HE was a rock and a shelter to me in my struggles, battles victories and defeats. He always had an encouraging word to offer and I shall always thank God for his kind, Godly influence on me . He will be missed, but we do not mourn him, but will strive to go where he has gone on to.

Throughout my life I have hung on to the fact that Taylor was praying for me since he told me so at Shoals Convention. Knowing that kept me from a lot of situations that might have caused a problem. As a 5 year old, Taylor used to tell me he could see into my mind with his glass which he used to strengthen his eye. I can't tell you how that impressed me. I will miss him, knowing he was praying for me. Ilene White Michie, Green River, Wyoming.

Taylor Wood was a SERVANT in the truest sense of the word. The most precious attribute I ever heard was said of Taylor - "Where Taylor Wood is, there is peace." What a legacy. Taylor was a very, very special person to us - he was with us during some very special times, and will always have a BIG place in our hearts.

Taylor has been a great "helper" to all our family. I have kept a very special letter from him written in 1965!! He and mother (Winnie) were the same age and were dear friends. Taylor's presence just made us feel "everything is alright." We will miss him, but others are filling the gap very well

I remember Taylor when he was in Ky. in our home when I was a child, in the '50's. I am glad for the memories of him in the past and in the more recent years when I met up with him in Salvisa. I was in the Dinning shed there up front when he looked towards me as he was coming through the door,he said ,"don't tell me,' I will think of your name in a minute, and he did! He hadn't seen me since I was a child!We will cherish the memories. He had a wonderful spirit.
