I met Agnus Taylor thru her son Ervan who I worked with at Day International , we would eat lunch together and I found out he was getting her southern style left overs and he would bring a plate for me , I loved her cooking that is what introduced me to her over 30 plus years I would butcher what she wanted and deliver to her for her family meals , I would stop to sit in the porch or in her house at the table and listen to her wisdom from her relationship with our Lord and Savior , she loved her relationship with him and would proclaim him at every chance she got to show countenance and glory to his grace and love for her choice of accepting him as her lord and savior , I will miss her very much as I do her son and servant Ervan Taylor who I also talked wit and know he is serving god almighty and awaited his mothers arrival , my heart is filled with joy thinking of their meeting with Christ and the first sight of love for each other in heaven – enjoy your heavenly treasures you deserve for your service and acceptance of the blood covenant given
I am saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
