Di her Mother, and me and my husband Carlton made a trip to Vegas together. Di provided us with lots of fun. We were on a taxi run with Di in front seat talking with the cab driver and the rest in back. Trying not to laugh at their conversation. I think Di became his best before thr trip ended. Lived her.
Ms Taylor came into our lives Kaitlin’s 7th grade year at a time that she needed a connection with a teacher. That Thanksgiving, she joined our family for dinner and became a part of our family. She brought out both Kaitlin and Lauren’s abilities in art and encouraged and mentored them. She loved them so much and often told me that if she ever had children, she wanted them to be like my girls. She was deeply loved by my girls and my family! We will cherish all the memories and all the laughs that we shared together. It’s hard to put into words what she meant and how much she will be missed. I know that she is in heaven and fully healed. We love you forever and we will see you again one day! Hugs and love! The Martins
Ms. Taylor was my art teacher in middle school. I thoroughly enjoyed her class and I’ve always kept her complimentary words in my memories. She told me one time I had a beautiful complexion. I’ve never forgotten that over the years. I saw her not long ago and couldn’t believe she remembered who I was. We hadn’t seen each other in over 20 years. She was a beautiful human being and will be missed.
