On behalf of the Taylor family, and especially my mom, O'Rena Taylor, I want to express our deepest sympathies to the Powell family and Ted Webster in the recent loss of my Aunt Catherine. I have many fond memories growing up of Aunt Cat. While I couldn't be there services, I was certainly there in mind and spirit. RIP Aunt Caterine.
