May God Comfort the family now and during the days ahead. May it ease your sorrow to know your wife and mother is now resting peacefully with the Lord. I remember seeing Cousin Odessa and some of her children at the Taylor Family Reunion in August of this year. I'm glad she got that time to fellowship with her family one last time before going to heaven. I hope you all will honor her memory and keep attending the reunion in the years to come. Please be in contact. Your cousin, Minister Kenneth Arrington. Angie, I'm the one who put the family photo album together.
