Dear Dave and Family,
ReplyDeleteI sent some pictures of our family in Dave's e-mail. Some are outdated, but we tried our best.
We want you to know how saddened we were to hear of Paula's passing. It was expected, but the reality was more difficult than we thought it would be.
Paula had profound influence on my life. She was so at skilled in her homemaking skills and I relied a lot on her knowledge those first few years of raising a family.
It seems the friends that we make in the beginning are the most choice as you appreciate the fact you are raising families together. Our kids were so close in ages that it was always fun to be together.
Paula was one of the most lovely women we have ever known. She was always very gracious and a true friend. She faced life as bravely as we have seen anyone do. We'll all miss knowing that she is not here, but know she is happy being relieved of the body that would respond in the way she wanted. What a great example she has been! We have so admired all of you for the care and love you have given her these many years. We are convinced this life is very short in the eternal scheme of things. We pray that we may be counted worthy of the wonderful blessings you have earned.
How we love you,
Lyle and Bonnie Taggart Family
