The church family of St Peter's AME Zion Church is praying for the family of Mrs. Taylor. As a faithful member for decades she lovingly served her church and all who stopped by to worship with us. We know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. So we are grateful for her healing on the other side.

It saddens me to learn of Mrs. Taylor, whom I recognized as a godmother to me. We met at St Peter and we're friends for more than 10 years. She was such a sweet spirit. The Roberts Family will keep the Gillette and Taylor Family lifted in prayer during this time. With sincere condolences and prayer, Erma Roberts
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
