The Strength Of A Woman My mother-in-law, Joan Elaine Taylor, affectionately called Miss G, was simply one of the greatest human beings that I’ve ever known. I first met this wonderful lady over 35 years ago, so I have known her for more than half my life. Throughout those years I found her to be a most compassionate, caring, and loving person, one who put God and family above all else. I met her daughter, Nadine, while attending college and I recall that day when I was introduced to her parents. I had been away at college for three years and so it was a joy for me to meet two of the loveliest people in the world, Ron and Joan Taylor, who accepted me with open arms into their home and subsequently into their lives. I felt like I had won the jackpot; not only had I found the love of my life, but also two people who would become the best parents-in-law one could ask for. I had a wonderful relationship with Miss G and could talk to her about anything and expect great advice and guidance. Advice on how to keep my wife happy was paramount because as the saying goes “happy wife, happy life.” It was always a joy to be around her and there was, indeed, never a dull moment. I grew to have great respect and honor for my mother-in-law as I watched her deal with her health issues in the most dignified way. She epitomized the words made famous by Shaggy, “Strength of a Woman” as she played the cards that life had dealt her with poise and grace. One could easily overlook her incapacitation as she remained involved in all aspects of the running of her family and attending all the family events possible. She never missed a beat. Such was the strength and conviction of my mother-inlaw, Joan Elaine Taylor, Miss G. I will forever be thankful to God for having her in my life, for the quality time we spent together, for the lessons learned, and for the abundance of love that she blessed me with. I will miss the physical aspect of her smile, her laugh, her hug, her talks, and her presence. I will carry on knowing all the memories will forever reside in my heart and soul. Sleep well Miss G. - Turhan Sinclair (son-in-law)
