For all my Family and Friends, Especially Jadyn, my Lil Princess



Although to most of the world, our 4th of July holds little, if any, significance, I pray you'll pray for our celebration of freedom along with us. We are all UNITED!
We are all equal...
Maya Angelou said it best: " We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color."
Wish I'd've said that.
God Bless!
Taylor

My Dearest Helen,
It has only been a matter of hours since I have heard of your passing and I already miss you. I know that we will one day see each other again in Heaven but it still doesn't help my heart at this point. The only thing that I can think right now is the Lord needed you more in Heaven and you are in a more beautiful place than here on earth. Thank you for the words that you have shared and left behind.
Love,
Frank

My heartfelt prays for the family and friends left behind. You are in my thoughts.

Unfortunately this is true. As of right now Wade (Carlton) is on a flight to North Carolina. They are to have a memorial on Monday and then Helen's body will be sent back to North Carolina to be buried. I will post the arrangements when I find out. Wade did say that if anyone leave email addresses he will try to correspond once he returns.

Dear Helen Taylor Little fans,
I know this is very hard to believe but due to the fact that Helen was the only one that had the passwords to her blog this is the only way the family had to communicate to you. Helen passed away July 12, 2008 from a massive heart attack at her home in Florida. The memorial service is Monday in Florida then her body will be flown back to North Carolina for burial in Mebane, North Carolina. Her father is devastated from the loss but is currently doing okay. Her son should be arriving in North Carolina soon from California. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Thank you for the friendships and encouragement that you gave her. Remember that she will always be in our hearts and through her words and books that she has left behind. As soon as final funeral arragements are made in North Carolina I will post them. Again, I am so sorry that you had to read this here but this was the only way we could pay tribute to such a wonderful and talented woman.
Sincerely,
The family of Helen Taylor Little

Shadi,
I am so sorry that this was the way you had to learn about this. Helen spoke very highly about you and cared deeply for you. I know that you will be with her family in spirit and will keep them in your prayers. Please feel free to keep in contact if you want. We all miss her so much and found it very hard to believe when we found out. Just remember her words of encouragement to you and we have her books that she left behind. She is now watching over us until we see her again in Heaven.

If you want to continue to post your feelings on this blog I think that Helen would truly have enjoyed the postings and I think that it would be a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful woman to have her blog live on thru her family and friends.

I will forward your thoughts and regards to her family.

Frank

HELEN TAYLOR LITTLE

Born: March 22, 1950



Helen Taylor Little 58 of New Port Richey, Florida died suddenly in her home early Saturday morning July 12, 2008. Helen served honorably in the U.S. Navy discharging in 1970. She is a graduate of Orange High School in Hillsborough and San Diego State University at California. Helen’s life work was a labor of love caring for Alzheimer long term residents in the facility she created, designed and managed. She is a Certified and Accredited Long Term Care Administrator for the State of Florida. She served on the governor’s board for Ombudsman and for many years acted as Co-Chairman, before becoming Chairman of the renown Spring Festival city event held annually in Pensacola, Florida.

Retired as an administrator she became a successful published author while continuing to volunteer for a local elderly and disabled program. Helen is a Christian and a member of a local church in New Port Richey, active in church functions and their fund raising events.

The younger of two daughters born to Reverend Samuel C. Taylor of Mebane, N.C.. She leaves behind this loving and devoted Father who taught Helen that the path to Heaven is straight and narrow but the journey is a wonderful and rewarding trip.

Helen is survived by her close and caring sister Bonnie T. Williams, nieces Mindy and Teresa, nephew Darian, her only child and loving center of her life William Thomas Little, Jr. of Bakerfield, Ca., daughter in law Amanda and the “Princess” of her life, Jadyn, GrandDaughter. Others include, two wonderful stepbrothers Richard Perry of Mebane and Timothy Perry of Atlanta and their families. A very special Cousin Wade Jones of Laverne, TN. Helen’s treasure chest of friends is too large to list but they all know who they are because once you came into Helen’s life, she never forgot you and was proud to call you friend.

Do Not Weep For Me, I Am in Heaven and I Am In God’s Arms. Peace, Love and Light.

Dear Shadi,
Thank you for the compliment and I consider it an honor to share these things about such a beautiful woman with you. I only wish she was here to share other things with you instead of me sharing things about her passing. I know she is happy and awaiting us in Heaven and we will someday see her again. You have made a beautiful blog to honor her and the writings are wonderful. I have shared this with her family and some have also viewed it and commented about how wonderful it is. Please continue to write and follow her footsteps. Remember that there are some people that come thru our lives and are gone before we know it and there are others that come into our lives and change our hearts forever. Remember those that change your heart forever are special people and true friends. Helen changed everyones hearts forever, she was that kind of a person. I know she is smiling down on you and watching over you as you blog about her.
God Bless you,
Frank

Hello my dearest Aunt Taylor,

Remember Gramps? Dana's grandfather in your novel "Returning to Rockwell".
Although he died,he was indeed more than just an ordinary mortal. God sent him back again .He continued his existence long after his apparent death.He could be seen by Dana and Gemma.

I have the same feeling about you today.now i have changed your story has changed a little bit(that iam hope you don't mind).the name of the characters has changed : Dana is Shadi now and Aunt Taylor is Gramps!

I truly see you smiling and walking around.Lets have a cup of tea together tonight my dear aunt Taylor.
we will hve wonderfull time speaking about different issues,having fun and laugh as you've always wished. You can be seen only by me! Its gonna be great!!
I shall prepare very nice smelling Iranian tea for you,that iam sure you'll enjoy it.

Fee amanillah

Hello my dear Aunt Taylor,
Sorry for absence. I've been so busy with the school. I've found a job in a Lebanese school recently. Good place and good people. I teach English to children, boys and girls. Grade 5 and 6.they are 11 and 12 years old.
I am still thinking about you. I've put your beautiful picture in photo frame on my desk in my room. Sometimes, like now, I light a candle and I put it next o your picture. Ur eyes are smiling in this picture.
You look at peace in this picture and I know that you are at peace now. You are such a beautiful soul.
Tonight it's yours. The moon and the stars and this candle and its light …all of them are brightening for you and in the memory of your precious soul and being.
Please take care of yourself on the other side of haven.
I know that you are here with me now…

Your niece Shadi
