Condolences for the family of “William Willard (Bill) Taylor”
Dear Dad (Grampa),
When a father (grandfather) passes, that special, warm place in our hearts suddenly becomes empty, and, as in all painful events, it will take time to get over the loss…..
But there is something to hang on to….Family…..Mom, Sisters, Brother, Brother-In-Law, Aunts, Uncles and Friends….
You were a great Dad and Grampa.
We don’t know where the time goes.
We will take good care of Mom for you.
We know that you are in a better place right know. Not suffering anymore with the disease. We will always be thinking of you and not forgetting how you were a very strong person who thought of other people before themself.
Love Always,
Your daughter Jenny and
Grandchildren Clayon and Amanda

Yvonne:
Please accept our sincere condolances to you and your entire family at this very difficult time. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
My Taylor Family; Aunt Carole and cousins…
It only seems like yesterday I was feeling the same void you share today but knowing they are in a better place, without suffering does ease the pain. I wish I could be there on Monday amongst you and the family in honor of my Uncle Billy. To hear and learn more about him and his life.
Please accept this heartfelt condolence and know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
For the past 7 years I have been running marathons and half-marathons for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society…Uncle Billy name will be added to my running shirt.
Love and Care,
…your niece and cousin LeAne & family (Kenny, Ashley, Austin and Alec). If your travels ever bring to Florida, please visit. Xoxo
Samantha,

Hi
I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Billy’s death and want to say how sorry I am for your loss.I was glad I had a chance to talk to your father at my own father ‘s funeral.I always remember on how your father loved to grow things and was amazed when he showed me the peanuts he grew when I was a little kid.He must have been one of the first people in Ontario to grow peanuts.I also remember him pulling up with a ” Big Wave” to our house in Malton in his Red and black Eaton’s delivery truck and delivering a parcel.
My heartfelt condolences goes out to Auntie Carole and family.
Terry Taylor and Family
