I am so sorry to hear about Brother Taylor . . . you are in my prayers! Brother Taylor (and Sister Mary) were foundation members of my Christian walk. They joined together in supporting me and praying for me, especially when I was first in the ministry. Brother Taylor will never be forgotten . . .

My mother and I would like to extend our most sincere sympathy in your time of loss. I remember traveling with my parents Perry Wright and Carol Skeens Wright during summer vacation. I have fond memories of those trips. My Mom is unable to travel for Taylor's funeral and wants to extend her sorrow that she shares with the Vipperman family. With the love of the Lord, Darrell G. Wright
