A tribute to Gloria Taylor

Posted by harriet in Uncategorized | April 9th, 2008

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of Gloria Taylor. My sympathy goes to her husband Richard and her children. Gloria suffered terribly after the tragic murder of her son Damilola. But she bore her grief with great dignity and worked alongside Richard Taylor to establish the Damilola Taylor Trust and to support youth activities both here in Southwark and in Nigeria, their country of origin. She was a gentle and devoted family woman. I was struck by how much better and more peaceful she seemed when I saw her and Richard at a fund-raising event for the Damilola Taylor Trust in Camberwell just befo. I told her how well she looked and she confirmed that she had found the strength at last, once again to look forward to the future. Her death is a great loss to her family, her friends and to those with whom she worked to
