I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to my longtime friend Mrs. Beverly Pintard and all the children of Mrs. Inez Taylor.
My prayers are with all of you in this time of bereavement, for Earth has no Sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.
Losing a Mother is not easy, but with the assistance of the Holy Spirt I pray that you all find comfort and solace knowing that she was a Great Mother. Rest In Peace Mrs. Inez Taylor
