NA-NA: It seems like just yesterday Tay and I were being awakened at the crack of dawn to go to your house. One of my fondest memories of summers at na-na's was lying on a blanket under the trees in your backyard that you would always set up for us. This particular memory brings me back a great sense of peace and joy. Whenever I look at the trees I will find comfort in those feelings you gave to me. Feeling the shade from the big trees, I will know you are present and looking over us. And the sunshine that peered through as we layed there on those summer days at na-na's, will reassure me that you will forever be my guardian
angel to the end of time.
I can't wait to see you again! The view from up there is probably almost as amazing as you are.
I LOVE YOU NA-NA XOXOXO

Dear Taylor and family,
I am sorry for your loss. I always loved being around her, and admired her ability to light up a room. She always had a funny comment to share and was such a light-hearted person. I am so grateful that she allowed me to stay with them at Ocean City, MD and enjoyed myself completely. I always loved to be around her and will miss her dearly.
My best wishes,
Emily Joy
