I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Taylor. What wonderful memories I have of her. I studied piano with her during my school years. I have always credited her with instilling in me, a true love for music. As I began to teach piano later, I patterned my teaching after her methods. She taught with such gentle kindness and with true christian love. How wonderful to know she touched so many lives. She will truly be missed, but what a joy to have known her.
Arthur,
My heart is with you, even though we can not be there tomorrow. Aunt Bibby was an important part of my life and memories of our time together will always be with me. Much love to you. Jane
Art, Don and Andy-

Truly sorry for your loss. Mrs. Taylor was truly a wonderful person. I took piano lessons from her for about eight years and have continued to use what she taught me for the last thirty-some years in school, church, and many other areas of my life.
I will always remember her for her patience and caring attitude.
Dear Mr. Tayolr & Family,
Sorry to hear about the death of your Mother. I know all too well how hard it is to lose a dear Mother. I have many memories of piano lessons on Enka Lake Road. I do regret that I didn’t stick with it and perservere to become a decent piano player. She was a fine person. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Elizabeth was a very special person
to everyone. When the Burgins moved to Candler, she and Luther were one of the first to welcome us
to the area and Hominy Baptist. We
have remained friends for more than
forty years.
My sincere sympathy to each of you
and my love to all. She will cer-
tainly be missed. Love.Jane Burgin
Arthur, Don and Andy,
Pat and I share in your sense of loss at the death of Elizabeth Taylor, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Through the years, she was a significant part of Hominy Baptist Church, and will always be remembered by many of us as the one who always remembered us on our birthday by sending cards to so many.
