So much to say with such little space to say it all in. Aunt Alice, you will truly be missed. From childhood to adulthood you were right there. The sweetest person you could have ever met. I will always cherish and remember all the love placed in those wonderful meals you prepared down through the years. All the Love, Laughter, fun times we had, not to mention the fishing trips in Michigan, and BBQ's in Indiana.
Marcella, Carl, Grandchildren, Great-Grands, Norma and Rosemary...

Marcella and Family, The Taylor Family sends our sincere condolences. Mrs. Jackson was like a mother to all on Georgia Street. If she saw you doing something you wasn't suppose to be doing, you could rest assure she was going to call you out or tell your parents. Oh what a loving and caring person. Marcella and I would sit on her mothers porch and talk and laugh for hours. Mrs. Jackson would come out of the house just to see what was going on. I will cherish these sweet memories. Rest in...
