Cemetery Visits From Well Wishers

In honor of Memorial Day last month, I thought I'd share one of my favorite Memorial Day memories. 

While growing up, Mickey and his brothers loved to tease their dad Dave. This continued into adulthood. They were relentless and Dave's reaction to their teasing was priceless.  The Taylor boys and Dave showed their love for each other by teasing.  Sometimes it seemed more like torture than teasing to me but they never got tired of it and it never stopped.

In 1994 Mickey's dad passed away.  It was a sad day but the Taylor family never stopped the teasing or lost their sense of humor.

The year after Mickey's dad died, the entire family went to visit his grave.  By the time we got there, Mickey's brother Steve had left a balloon on his dad's grave.  As I walked up I realized what the balloon said. The teasing continued even after Daves passing and I must say that Steve nailed it that year.



This year for Memorial Day, Steve sent us this picture and text shown below:


They're still dead


Thanks Steve.

Ahh....Taylor humor.
