Mrs. Felps and Mindy,
Mere words cannot convey adequate sympathy for your loss. The times we have spoken it was understood what a vibrant and effervescent person Mrs. Taff was.
I am certian that your family, in years to come, will celebrate the
legacy of your mother and grandmother.
" I see Hermes, unsuspected, passing, well beloved, saying to the people who loved him, 'Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country-I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn'"
Walt Whitman

Sherry & Mindy, Just wanted to let you know that Mrs. Taff will be sorely missed by all who knew her. I always enjoyed waiting on her when I worked at the bank. We always had a nice visit. She was very proud of both of you and loved you very much. I'll keep you in my prayers!
