Sending prayers to the Taylor & Reno family. Jim & Gwen we’re a lovely couple & great parents. I have many memories of being around them as a kid. Always lots of laughter! 💕
Sending prayers to the family. Jim was a very good man that will be missed.
My precious Dad! You were my world. The kid’s world. I loved everything about you. You made me laugh, drove me crazy, told me how it was. You made me see life for what it was. You had so much more life to live and it was cut short. You’re with Mom now. Rest easy, you two crazy kids. I love you both so much!! Take it easy old man.
I wish I could make the pain go away. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. We love you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We loved visiting with Jim and always enjoyed his joking and laughter. He was a pleasure to be around. May the Lord’s Grace, peace and rest be upon you. You are loved.
