Our neighbor and friend, one of the very first to welcome and assist us when we moved in. It was a rare day in the last decade that we did not at least pass your way and wave hello or stop to talk. Our little country road will not be the same without you, but we will never pass the farm without seeing you in boots with the bucket and smile, being better for having known you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great loss. May your many happy memories help to comfort you during this time of sorrow.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Rick, Denise, & Christopher Taylor
