This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Donald Taylor, 90, born on February 16, 1921 and passed away on December 5, 2011. We will remember him forever.
It is my hope that this site will allow all that knew and loved my Uncle Donald, to not only create a stronger bond with and between ALL Family Members, but give us a place to honor Uncle Donald to keep his memories in our hearts and minds.
I ask that you all, during your visit with us, to please share your Memories, Stories, Photos, and any Favorite Music of Uncle Donald and his Lovely wife, Aunt Irene.
God Bless us all,

Love you Marine I'm so glad that you are no longer in pain.
Go Bless you.
Checking in for your Birthday Today - You would have been 99 years today. I'll say it now and get it out of the way; "Save me a piece of cake."
I miss you every day Uncle Donald. I feel so proud knowing there are Marines as Great as You guarding Heaven's Streets.
Love ya' Uncle Donald. Hug my Mom for me. God Bless,
Hey Uncle Donald - I'm three days late checking in, but I'm now all present and accounted for.
Christmas is rolling in on us pretty quick.
Just wanted to say hello and that I miss you.
God bless,
I have really been catching up on my sleep since I retired, but I do enjoy my free time. I sure do miss those talks and times that I enjoyed so with you before the Lord called you home.
I really got tired quick this year of all the rain and snow. Ready for some summer time.
I'll visit again Uncle Donald. You are in good hands.
Love you all.
Knowing my Uncle Donald has NEVER missed a formation for "Roll Call", I know that he will always be here, beside his Lord to be a guiding source when I need a gentle nudge now and then.
I just needed to check in with you sir. You were and still are there for me Uncle Donald and always will be in my heart.
Love and miss you. Semper Fi'

You know me, I had to stop by and hold "Roll Call", Marine style.
I still think about you and Dreama all the time Uncle Donald. Sure do miss you both.
I'll keep checking in once in awhile sir.
God Bless,
Today is the 97th anniversary of my Uncle Donald Taylor's Birth.
I miss you as much today Uncle Donald as I did the day you went home to be with your Lord.
I'll check back in with you again. Rest easy Marine.
God has Blessed you,
Dear Uncle Donald
Christmas Time is just not the same anymore with You, Mom and Dad gone. I sure did enjoy that Christmas that I was able to bring Mom over to see you all for Christmas week.
Lord you are missed sir. God Bless you Uncle Donald.
Love and miss you. I'll always hold my memories of you close.
Dear Uncle Donald,
I will be on the road during Father's Day this year, so I'm going to bid you a Great Flag Day today, and an early Father's Day for Sunday now, so I don't forget it altogether.
Love ya', Marine.
God Bless,
Happy Father's Day (on Sunday)
I sure do miss you Uncle, and Brother Warrior; there were many fights you fought while with us down here; and the largest battle you won over to be with your Dear Lord and Aunt Irene - God Bless you Uncle Donald; I sure do miss hearing your voice on the phone when I would call, and the many trips sitting down at the dining table over "Pinto Beans and Cornbread." Sure would enjoy some of those with you right now.
No need saying God Bless and Take Care anymore, as you are in the Best of Places and the Best of Hands known to man, so I will leave you with the following;
Semper Fi' Uncle Donald - God Blessed you with four beautiful daughters, and all these Beautiful Grand Children, and they are living life in the Lord's name as you and Aunt Irene wanted them to.
Love you and God Bless,
PS... I'll visit again soon.
PSS... Please, give Aunt Irene a hug for me and tell her I love her.
I wanted to stop and wish you a Grand 94th Happy Birthday in Heaven with your Lady Love; Aunt Irene.
Love you Uncle Donald - Rest Easy, and God Bless,
I sure miss you; calling to talk, and going back home to visit for a weekend.
I know that your Girls missed your presence at home during this time of year since you left, but they are making it; with you and Aunt Irene in their hearts.
God knows I did love you so, and miss you so much.
I'll check back in again later Marine;
God Bless and keep the rest of those people up there in line.

Wish you were here to help "Ring in The New Year", but I don't think ANYONE can argue that you have one of the Best Seats in the House.
Love you Uncle Donald; and Truly Miss you Marine.
God Bless you sir, and thank you so much for allowing me into your life and to be a part of your wonderful family.
Give Aunt Irene a Hug for me;
God Bless.
Just wanted you to know that this Marine has not forgotten you, sir.
Love and miss you - God Bless you Marine; I'll check in with you after the New Year turns over.
I'm staying in touch with the rest of your family down here; I just can't get over there enough, or as often as I would like to visit - and I speak for myself, as I'm sure Donna, Dreama and Diana need a break once in a while . Bonnie and I message each other from time to time, as she lives so far away for me to make a trip up there.
Love and miss you Uncle Donald - sure wish you were here, but I know that Aunt Irene has a hold on you with the Lord that can't be broken.
Hold a place close by for me, so when I get there, you and I can catch up on all the Scuttlebutt.
Nephew, Thomas Lee Williams
I didn't forget yesterday, it was just a little hard after seeing your photo in the Marine Uniform; I was just not able to type anything.
But today is Veterans Day and I could not let this day of remembrance go by as well.
I miss your presence here Uncle Donald, as I know that your girls do as well. But, we know that you are enjoying your Beautiful love, Aunt Irene once more, as well as sharing that Glorious Home we all know as Heaven, so I'll just leave you today with these few words;
"This life passes in the blink of an eye. But the story has only begun.
So go, taste and see the Goodness of God. I'll see you in a little while."
I love you so very much; say hello to Aunt Irene for me.
Love you Uncle Donald,
God Bless,
Love ya' and Semper Fi'
Love and miss you Uncle Donald; Happy Father's Day and God Bless.
You are both now together, with the rest in the Lord's house, so I ask that you all watch over each other.
I Love you Uncle Donald,
God Bless,

Christmas Memories of 2004
-
Dear Uncle Donald
Christmas Time is just not the same anymore with You, Mom and Dad gone from this physical life.
I sure did enjoy the Christmas I was able to bring Mom over to see you all for Christmas week that year.
You sure made Mom's Day. She was laughing so hard as you kept opening your gifts from your family sitting in your chair by the door. I could tell that you were both living and enjoying life 'back in the day' when you both were just kids yourselves.
Lord your are missed sir. God Bless you Uncle Donald.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all our family that you are with was well as those still here in the physical world.
Love and miss you. I'll always hold my memories of you close.
My Lasting Memories
I lost a Great Friend, a Brother Marine and a Loving Uncle when you passed Uncle Donald - another 2 weeks and it will have been a full year since you left us, to be with God and Aunt Irene.
I am so glad that your suffering is no more, and that you are home with the Lord and Aunt Irene."
Uncle Donald, I miss your presence in my world so much; and I will never lose my memories of you.

Remember me
Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.
