    " Ed Taylor was my first cousin and will be missed by all who knew him. I did not spend as much time with him as I wanted, but the times we visited are memories that I will never forget. He was a fine gentleman, family man, and a Christian. My prayers are with Irene & the children & all of his family. May God Bless & keep you all through the loss of Edward Taylor.
