Barbara and Tony, We were so sorry to hear about your Mom’s death. She was greatly loved by all of us at the Open Door Cathedral. But was very special to us, since she was a very important part of our family. She was married to daddy’s brother, My dad is Broadus Taylor.
Louvena called mom almost every Friday morning. Her and mom had a great relationship. You are in our prayers. We know where your mom is, and I know she is rejoicing around the throne of God and visiting with many family members and friends.
Mary was a very sweet lady. My Mom’s best friend and now they are together in heaven. My prayer’s are with the whole family.
