RAY WILLIAMS
WESTSIDE
HARMON
IN LOVING MEMORY
ROWE TAYLOR, JR. 2/28/39-4/12/08
We little knew that morning that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
On wings of Angels you were taken away; but in our hearts you will al- ways stay.
Love now and forever, wife, Carolyn; children, Sabrina, Gregory, De- phanie, Remeka, and Shanticia; grandchildren, great grandchildren; family members and friends.
