Not sure what to say?

Growing up in the neighborhood with Mrs. Taylor was a true blessing. Through the years she was kind and so sweet having always time for a kind word/conversation. A good friend. She was so kind to my family. We loved her. Even when I returned from Wisconsin and back into town, she was so inviting to me, my boys and our pets. My son had said she was the kindest person he has ever met. I'm going to miss you So. Miss being there at this time. Blessings and Prayers to the family.

20 years ago when I moved to the neighborhood, Grandma Geri welcomed me with open arms. Over the years, she has witnessed my graduation, having babies, job searches and has been through for all my fear, weakness, trumbling and happiness with me. She was there as a mother to me and a grandmother to my kids. She was the comfort, the rock, and my cornerstone.
We love you, grandma Geri! We miss you.

She was a very sweet person. I met her at her niece's house Karen for lunch. She was there with her sister Virginia (Gina).

My deepest sympathy to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I was good friends with her sister Virginia, who I worked with. I am now friends with her niece Karen.

Whispering Love Arrangement - BASKET INCLUDED

Jack and I are so sad to hear of Jerry's passing. She was such a sweetheart and always so kind to everyone. She will be sorely missed!

As Gerry,s tenant, we used to sit at her kitchen table two or three nights a week and put the world to rights over a cup of tea & a blueberry muffin. We talked about politics, religion, current events, science, fashion, business, family. You name it - we covered it. She was as sharp as a pin, had an opinion about everything, was as wise as could be, and had a sense of humor that often had us crying with laughter. She was such a warm, kind person, I will miss her badly and think of her often....

I really enjoyed listening to her talk about our younger days in the neighborhood and also me telling her about Bible passages and what Heaven will be like while we were driving to do her errands. She was so generous to me. Only two days before her passing she told me how much she missed Mr. Taylor and now she is with him. God Bless Her.
