Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away, never to return.
So, while we have it, it's best we love it and care for it, and fix it when it's broken, and heal it's sick.
There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special, and so, we should keep them close.
All those whose lives were touched by Bobby Eugene Taylor during his 67 years of life had their world grow dimmer and their hearts heavier on June 3, 2008, as he departed this world for an everlasting life with God.
It is always too soon for us to lose our loved one. God is never too early or too late, but always right on time, and always knows what's best for us.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Both of us have lost our fathers, so our hearts go out to you during this time. But, what a peace it is to get to say good bye knowing its only for a little while and that we will see them again. What a promise from God! May your precious memories fill your hearts and the emptiness left behind. We’ll be praying for God to carry you through the days ahead and may He comfort you and guide you like only the Father can.

My sincere condolences to all the family and especially to Eddy and Melody. I have fond memories of both of you from Clyde A. Erwin…sports, band, classes, etc., and knowing my father to be in declining health at present, I am especially aware of the loss that is for me inevitable, but nonetheless, always a loss. I see from the obituary here, that you are both married and sounds like with children too. One thing I hope for in the circle of life, is that I am able to pass peacefully, before my children, and likewise, I hope my parents don’t have to lose either me or one of my brothers or their grandchildren before they leave this life. May you all be blessed during this time and forever in the future. More importantly, may you also be thankful for all the memories, and all the ‘things’ and people you still have in your lives. Much Love to you…
Sincerely,
Bruce Allen
