Joyce, Kirk and Holly–I am so very sorry that you have lost your mother. She was such a wonderful person and was so loving and caring to everyone she was around. She was a special help when both my mother and my father were ill. She was the Philippi Presbyterian Church–without her presence these last several years, I'm sure things would have been hard. We have kept in touch since I've been gone from Philippi, and I will miss her. Please find peace. Linda
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of your loss. No matter how old we are we are never ready to lose our mother.

Dear Joyce and Family,
I was very sadden to hear of the passing of your mom, Alice. She was one of the first nurses at Broaddus Hospital that trained me. She was a kind and compassionate nurse who took great interest in each patient under her care. I learned many things from her wealth of knowledge that I have not forgotten over the years.
One thing I can say about you mom is that she was a people person and I to my knowledge, and I held your mom in great esteem. If she had bad days, she never showed it.
May the dear Lord keep you and guide you through the next few days and weeks.
With our continued prayers,
Jack and Teresa Wright Taylor
