Annaleah is with God now, and will always be with you as well.May God give you all the strength, courage and Faith you need to get through this difficult time.

  23. It has been a year now since our little angel joined that heavenly chorus. She is walking, talking & fully whole as she fellowships with our risen Saviour. Indeed we have learned much of our Lord through Annaleah; patience, trust humility, etc. As we reflect on our lives together; photos & memories, we are certain that she enjoyed life to the fullest. She could smile anytime dispite her physical challenges. Truly, her smile was contageous. We should all pick up on that.
    Thank you Maple Ridge Baptist Church, WKJV Radio, neighbors, Groce Funeral Home, one and everyone for your care, support, encouragement & prayers. Thank God for the Saints.

    I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. (Phil 1:3)

    Pray for us as we embark on this new chapter in the journey of life for we have yet to behold that which Annaleah hast seen; to hold Him who Annaleah hast held and worship Him anew.

    In His Majesty’s Care,

    Stan, Carmella & Alyssa Taylor

    You don’t know me, but I have attended your church a few times. I sat behind you at the baptisim last Sunday.I just want you to know you touched my heart when I saw you rub your daughter’s arm, hold her hand and smooth a stray hair off her face. I thought how lucky she was to have someone love her so much, I could feel the love you have for her. I felt very saddened when my daughter told me of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  25. Dear brother in Christ,
    May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. May his love and peace overflow so that all will know His grace and mercy.

You picked out a beutiful casket and the candle was beautiful too. Everthing you did for her that night was beautiful and sweet.
