To The Family of Mrs. Taylor - May our Lord bless and keep you in His care during this difficult time. Your mom and sister was a faithful saint of God and a friend to many. It was a blessing for us to know her for so many years through our work at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. God bless you all.

Wanda,
My heart goes out to you during this time. I was so glad to see Mrs. Taylor months ago at the beauty shop with you and enjoyed talking to her so very much. I will never forget working with her at MCV. Keep the faith GOD loves you.
