Latrice, Kahron & Family:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ms. Ida leaves a legacy that truly gives you a basis to celebrate her life. It's challenging to face the fact that she will no longer be physically present for you to see and touch her. Yet she's given you gifts of love, life and wisdom that will forever keep her close to you in heart and spirit. Thank God for the great gift you received by having such an amazing mother. Take comfort in knowing that she has gone home to be with our Lord and love one another as she loved each & all of you.

Love, Aunt Carol & the Crawford family.

Dear Family
I share in your sorrow. I am at a loss to describe the hole that Ida has left in this world. Ida gave her attention and her love to each of us in a way that made us believe that she loved us best, even in the face of the fact she loved us all according to our need. We have been blessed beyond measure to have had this woman in our lives even if only for a short time. Know that I love you as I loved Ida - may God forever keep her in our hearts.

My Condolences to the family. Aunt Ida was a loving person.
she made me feel welcome. She was my Aunt by marriage, but she made me feel as if she was my blood her and another Aunt-in-law. Aunt Ida I will miss you, but as they say to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So, I ain't mad at you. I love you and will miss you. Although, I haven't seen you in a while you know that you were in my heart cause I would always ask Gloria my Co-worker about you.
she told me that she always told you too. I pray for God's peace and strength on the family. LOVINGLY,

Colin and Mildred

May God's peace comfort the Taylor Family during their time of bereavement. Mrs. Taylor always had a smile and a hug for me and I am truly saddened by her passing. With that being said I know she has entered the gates and heard the words of God "Well done thy good and faithful servant"
