Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mrs. Taylor was a wonderful Christian woman and prayer warrior! I have so many memories growing up at Calvary which include her and Mary Frances Taylor. We will be out of town this week but will keep all her family in our thoughts and prayers!
May the undeserved kindness of Jehovah God be with you during this difficult time and may you find comfort from the words found at Hosea 1314 which says From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death Where is your destructiveness, O Grave Knowing that there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May the peace of the Lord sustain you.
I never met Ms. Taylor, but my 89-year old mother recently fell asleep in death also. It hurts to lose our loved ones, but it’s comforting to know that we can be reunited by means of an earthly resurrection. (John 528, 29) Hopefully this promise will comfort you too.
What a precious gift she was to all who knew her. We are thankful for the blessing of this for even a short time. Our prayers are that God and the precious memories will comfort and strengthen her dear ones left behind.
I’m praying for you and your family!
Anna, the staff at Covenant Church extends our warmest prayers for you and your family. We pray her legacy lives on through those she left behind.
Suzanne and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. May God give you strength and peace in the days ahead.
Suzanne, WC, Phil and Tim, I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your mother. She was a lovely lady and I know how much she meant to you. Embrace and comfort each other in the days ahead. I know that you have your faith to carry you through. Sincerely, Nancy Morris Willis
