This memorial website was created in memory of my Beloved Mother, Ruby E. Taylor, 91, born on February 26, 1923 and went home to be with her Lord, on June 4, 2014.

I will remember her forever

I ask that all of her Family and Friends to please view the site, as often as needed, and tell us your favorite stories of my Mom.  And please, feel free to leave your tributes, photos, stories that you wish.  I'm sure that Mom would love to know that you came to visit with her.

PS...  

I have created a personal video from me to my Mother - if you wish a copy you should be able to download that video from the "Gallery  -> Video" section of the site.

The download version is an mp4 video/audio file and will ONLY play on any computer that can handle mp4 files - Have your speakers on, as some of Mom's favorite songs are here.

God Bless us All,

Well Mom, this is the weekend just before your birthday on Monday. I sure do feel each one since you went to your Heavenly home. I remember the bigger than life smile you would have on your face just before you took a breath to blow out the candles.

I have missed you Mom, more and more each year since you went to rejoin all of your family.

I'll never forget our conversation the night you passed.

As the song says, " I'll never not Remember You."

Love forever,

I Miss You Mom

I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.

I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.

All I have are memories,
and your picture in a frame

Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part,

God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.

Happy Birthday, Mom. It's your Day of the year again.

I sure wish that the song so talked about, "Phone in Heaven" existed because I so miss your voice during our talks over the years.

With each year that passes I seem to sink into my own thoughts more and more as I continue to play all our years over and over in my mind.

Well Mom, here we are at 8 years now since you went to rest with all your past members of the family.

Long day on this end, Mom.

I miss you so much it hurts. Betty and I made a trip to Ft. Knox today to refill four of my meds. We then took another highway to stop by and check on Pat, for about three hours. I really enjoy having her so close to visit with.

I'll check back in with you again later.

Again, love you, and you are always in my heart. God Bless

Hey Mom - I needed to leave this tribute a couple days before your birthday this Friday.

I'll be on the road between the house and the VA hospital in Louisville the rest of this week getting my covid shot and a few other appts. In Bowling Green.

Just wanted to wish you a beautiful Happy Birthday for Friday.

Love you, Mom.

It has now been 6 short years since you went home to be with your Lord, Mom. I've missed you so much.

Always a loving, trusted shoulder to lay my troubles, of which you listened in earnest, which helped me to reach many a decision about the many issues in my life. I thank you for that.

Lord knows that there will never be another, "You."

Spending most of the night with you before your departure, I remember our talk in so much detail;

This list of items we discussed really hit home with me and I strived to make sure that I pay very close attention to them. Sometimes it seems as though I’m not very well received as I continue this vigil, but I keep following your advice and guidance with this list. The other items that we discussed have to take a seat as these five are most important to me right now.

1. "Pay attention to your own children and Grand Children. Always try and be a big part of their lives."

Although this was the easiest for me, I know that I tend to get in their way at times as they are building their own lives, but my heartfelt interest will always be in their health and safety as they go through life. Lord, Mom, you would be so proud of your Grandkids and Great Gr-kids.

2. "Always maintain love and respect for your brothers and sisters."

This one has been, and I fear will continue to be sometimes hard, as I have not always been very well received at times.

3. "Try and always be there for your family."

My mind and heart has and will always be there, but sometimes physically and Geographically, it just wasn't possible.

4. "Always remember your roots and where you came from."

This, I promise – I will never forget the important milestones you helped me create in my life's journey. You started me on this genealogy path years ago when you shared a family history pamphlet you acquired from Cousin R. Bruce Taylor at a family reunion that you attended in Louisville, Kentucky. I was overseas at the time, and you saved one for me.

I have been on this trek now for some 25+ years, and have amassed much info on yours and Dad's families. I am in the process of compiling all this data and photos for my own personal Family Book, in hopes that one of my descendants will "Pick Up The Torch," when I leave this world.

5. “If you can, find your brother Norman and make sure that he understands that I have always loved him as much as I loved the rest of you.”

Although Norman was born in 1941 and lived for approximately two hours before Grandpa ‘Liss’ took him to the side of the "plow field" and buried him in the tree line, I will do my utmost to locate Norman's resting place. However, geographically and as I am physically able, I will continue to try and accomplish this as I am able to make the trips back home.

I have, with the help of some other Family History Researchers in the “Back Home,” family members noticed and still trying to find records to show who if anyone is buried in the grave space that is between Uncle Robert and Grandpa ‘Liss’. IF we can find where Grandpa laid Norman to rest, we will attempt to have him moved to the mentioned space between Grandpa and Uncle Robert, if that is available. At least in this way, I feel that Norman will be able to have peace alongside family.

Love you Mom. I'll visit again soon.

Until next time.

Good morning MOM, this one is always a tough day for me. We love you so much. We all wish you were here with us still. I know you're in a better place, heaven that is. Be sure to tell all we said hi. Your always in our heart. Forever love for you MOM

I sure wish we could share some cake over coffee today.

I reminisce in such detail during these days that are so close to us. I reminisce about tonight each year now since you left.

Well, that's it, too many memories coming at me right now. I need to let go for now.

Love and miss you so much - God Bless,

Just thinking of you today Mom. So many thoughts processed today just wishing you were still here to help me figure some of them out. I'll keep working on them, hoping in time I'll come to my own answers.

Here is a new poem I came across that reminded me so much of you Mom.
-------------------------------------------------

Thank you, Mom

For letting me grow my own wings,
For letting me fly;
For catching me when I fell,

For letting me stand when I can't
and for assuring me I can fly again.

I soared even higher Mom...
simply because you believed.

Thank you, Mom, I love you.

Happy Holidays Mom (aka MamaRuby). Think about you often and appreciate everyday the sacrifices you made during your lifetime for ALL YOUR CHILDREN. 
It seemed like Dad was always gone and you had to DO IT ALL for the survival of the Family. I have forgiven him for not being there to help you. And your will never know how much I love and appreciate your seeing your MOTHERLY DUTIES to the very end. I will always remember the advice you gave me:

"If you eat right, sleep right and do right..... You will be ALRIGHT!"

Thank you Mom for everything.... Rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.

Well, Mom, as I just left a memorial for Dad, so I will share that with you as well. It is now Christmas Eve, 2019 - another Favorite of yours and mine. Betty and I will go to Louisville tomorrow for Christmas Dinner with Buddy and Carol, and Brother Billy will be there as well, so I want to see him again as it has been a while since we spoke.

I sure do miss yours and Dad's loving smiles as you both would reach out to put that loving gift in our hands as you watch our eyes light up with joy.

Although you and Dad always wrapped our gifts in Newspapers, it was such a loving, learning and growing memory to carry forward, so I always tried to wrap any of my gifts to give with Newspapers also. However, with all the technology that is now available, even to read the news online, the paper copy is getting harder to come by.

God knows I miss you so much.

Love you, Mom, Save me a seat.

This has to be the best Mama ever. She was my best friend. I never ask her for anything that she didn't help with. She had such a kind heart.

Dear Mom, Happy Birthday.

This would have been 96 years for you today. I sure wish you were here, at least for today so we could celebrate you.

Mom, I miss you so much remembering all that you taught me. I spend this entire day, each year just moving around the house doing nothing. I know that I should stay busy but I'll get there eventually.

Happy Birthday Mom, again, I love and miss you.

Say hello to our Lord and our loving family.

Your loving son, Paul.

Not a lot of snow this year, but still expect some yet.

Well, here's to yet another full year.

Just checking on you Mom. I think about you all the time now.

I finally decided to buy a house. Moved to Cave City, KY - right at the base of "Guntown Mountain," where we used to stop each trip we went north or south to visit. I will never forget how you loved our ride up the mountain on the lift together. I wish we could do it again.....Today.

Love you Mom,

Your Mother is always with you

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, She's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She's the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, She's your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, She is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She is the place you came from, your first home, and She's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not Time, Not Space... Not even Death.

I so miss you, Mom - especially during this, your favorite time of the year.

Love and Miss,

In Loving Memory

Passed away 3 years ago, June 4, 2014

Don’t remember me with sadness, don’t remember me with tears.
Remember all the laughter, we’ve shared through the years.

Now I am contented
That my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing that as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the street
And you’ve got me on your mind.
I’m walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.

So please don’t be unhappy
Just because I’m out of sight,
Remember that I’m with you
Each morning, noon and night.

I miss you, Mom

Your loving son, Paul

My Dear Mother on your 94th Birthday - I have missed you so much over the past 3 years. Not able to talk with you on a moment's notice really hurts.

Sure could get used to it, if the Good Lord were to give you back to us at least another 50 years.

I visited your resting place yesterday after my visit at the VA Hospital in Louisville...

Have to go for now - you are holding my heart in your hand.

I still need my Mom!!! It doesn't matter how old I am.

My Mom has made me laugh...
She has dried my tears...
She has hugged me comfortably... (Even after she went to be with her Lord)
She has seen me triumph...
She has seen me fall...
She has given me courage when I was down...
And sometimes she has driven me crazy!

BUT, my Mom is a promise that I will always have a friend.

I have an amazing Mom.

Love and miss you terribly.

Good Morning Mom;

It's New Year's Eve - I Love and Miss you so much, Every time I visit you here, I find myself being able to see your loving face and to feel my Mother's touch once again.

New Year - Starts 2017 in this world in the morning. I take things pretty literally nowadays, so I'm thinking that since New Year's Day falls on Sunday; "The Lord's Day". Hopefully this is an omen of good things to come back to this world - the Man above surely knows that this country needs his loving touch again, so maybe this is the year that he restores this world to something with a little sanity for all.
----------------

Life without you is like
Walking in a dark tunnel
But because of your light,
I know that I can make it through

That’s why saying thank You will
Never be enough to thank you
For everything you do….

Wishing You a Happy New Year Mom

Love ya',

Paul

Here's to you Mom, for the upcoming Mother's Day this Sunday on 8 May 2016. Two years now since you went home to your Lord.

I miss you more that anyone could ever know, 'cept you of course.

Love you Mom, I found the following from another family member with my Genealogy work; She misses her mother as well.

Here are her words, but I echo them to you;

"In honor of the sacrifices my mother made for all her children while we were growing up.

A mother's love is unparalleled to any other kind of love.

Love you Mom, you are missed every day of my life."
