  1. Family of Taylor Brown, I am so sorry for your loss. He and my dad were real close, kinda like a father-son relationship. They loved each other very much.

  2. Uncle Taylor was one of a kind! I have many happy memories of spending summer days with him and Aunt Melba. Even though I am not there physically for the funeral today I will be there in love and spirit. I am wishing you strength to sustain you during this difficult time and healing to soothe mind and spirit that comes from the light and love of those around you. I love you all. Charlotte
