Sueann Campbell

God picks his most precious flowers to put in his personal garden, so you had to leave the flesh behind. I'm sending my deepest condolences to the Taylor family and for my Sweet Pea Nek. When you lose a lived one, especially a child, you lose a part of yourself you never recover from. A loss is such a great traumatic experience. Jehovah keep your loving arms around them for they may never understand that you choose your flowers wisely. We have to be grateful for the time she had on earth and all of the loving memories left behind. Jesus be a fence. Amen

Sara Smith
