Robert John Taylor— 1944 - 2009
| One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky
flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” |

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you.” Robert John Taylor was born in Pincher Creek, June 10, 1944
and passed away Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2009, after a courageous battle with
COPD. He is the loving father of Lisa ‘Marie’ of Lethbridge and Jason Robert
of Pincher Creek.
He is also survived by his four-legged friend “Whiskey,” his
Dalmatian. He was predeceased by his father Gordon, mother Florence and
sister Marion. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of
one’s choice. Friends and family will meet at a later date for a celebration
of Dad’s life.
