This page is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Ella Louise "Eloise" Stewart Taylor, whom I called "Nanny". She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. She is survived by 1 son, 2 daughters, 1 step-daughter, 9 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed but we have God's promise that we will meet again. She is home now!

The Legacy
She could not give her children gold
So she gave them faith to have and hold
She could not give them royal birth...
A name renowned throughout the earth.
But she gave them seeds and a garden spot
And shade trees when the sun was hot.
She could not give a silver spoon
Or servants waiting night and noon.
She gave them love and a listening ear
And told them God was always near.
She could not give them ocean trips
Aboard majestic sailing ships,
But she gave them books and quiet time
Adventures found in prose and rhyme.
She could not give them worldly things
But what she gave was fit for kings.
For with her faith and book and sod
She made each child aware of God.
by Alice Leedy Mason
Grandma
She lets her go barefoot in summertime
And swing on the garden gate.
She lets him eat cookies between his meals
And stay up disgracefully late.
She indulges her when she visits.
She was stricter with her boy.
But this one isn't hers to raise-
Only to enjoy!
