Before I went to Alabama,I was talking to my dad in Law on the Phone a lot.I always wanted to meet him in Person,as well as bring him his Grandchildren over,which missed out on knowing their Granddad ,in their earlier Childhood. I went with 2 of my 3 Children,Andre & Shirley to Birmingham Al.and the minute we stepped of the Plane and saw Marian ,it was like ,we knew each other since a looong time. The Children and me was welcomed into the "Taylor Family" with open Arms. Marian Taylor were very happy about the Time,he had to spend with his Grandchildren,and there was always a nice Word,Smile,and lots of Hugs:) Marian Taylor went out of his way to do things with his Grandchildren,and to spoil them. Marian Taylor so much wanted to keep his Grandchildren in the USA,but because they needed to go back to School,and I had not want to leave my Children in Birmingham,I flew back with them to the UK,but always encouraged Contact with Mariann Taylor and his Grandchildren,Andre,whom he affectionatly called "His Son" & Shirley"His Babygirl" I have not met a Man,with so much Love for his Family as Marian Taylor showed to his Grandchildren and myself. Thank you Dad for being a Part in our Live,even though we weren't close in distance,but we were close by Hearts & Thoughts!! We will never forget you!!
