From Alexandria to Her Loved Ones As I sit in heaven, And watch you every day, I try to let you know with signs, I never went away, I hear you when you’re laughing, And watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you, To calm you as you weep, I see you wish the days away, Begging to have me home, So I try to send you signs, so you know you are not alone, Don’t feel guilty that you have, Life that was denied to me, Heaven is truly beautiful, Just you wait and see, So live your life, laugh again, Enjoy yourself, be free, Then I know with every breath you take You’ll be taking one for me…
In Loving Memory Of
Alexandria D. Taylor

Acknowledgement Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all; just thought of us this day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

Obituary

The Broken Chain
Alexandria, a.k.a. “Bug-A-Boo”, attended Bay View High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and received her General Education Diploma from Milwaukee Area Technical College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A short time later, she returned to Milwaukee Area Technical College and trained to become a nurse.
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your smile is still our guide and Though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
In 2007, Alexandria gave birth to her first child, Arianna D. Ramsey and in 2014, she had her second child, Angel D. Ramsey.
Love, Your Parents, Mathew J. Garcia & Tika D. Taylor
wasbornonJan.23, 1990 to Tika D. Taylor and Mathew J. Garcia in the state of Wisconsin. She always accepted Christ as her savior.
Although she worked in the nursing field, Alexandria also loved cooking, drawing, sewing, fashion, and being a hairstylist. She prided herself on her “Cornbread Dressing” and “Collard Greens”. She felt that the only person that could top her in the kitchen was her Great-Grand-Mother, Everlena Taylor. At the time of her death, she was working on her newest project, customized children’s clothes and was ready to open her own online clothing store. Alexandria had hopes of visiting her father, Mathew Garcia and Grand-Mother, Micaela Garcia Lee, in New Mexico, for New Year’s 2017. Alexandria had a very strong personality, was strong-willed, and very determined to get to where she wanted to be in life. She had no fear of anything, and a lot of us learned the hard way. She always had the desire to learn more and do better in life. Alexandria loved her family and was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. Alexandria Danyiel Taylor departed this life on June 11, 2016. She was preceded in death by her great grandparents, Everlena Taylor and Robert Lee Taylor; great grandmother, Donnie Mae Alston; and great uncle, Bill E. Alston. She leaves to cherish her memory: her parents, Tika D. Taylor and Mathew J. Garcia; mother’s side - one sister, Kenyartika Harris; three brothers, Shorn Nelson, Kenyartic Harris and Darrion Taylor; grandmother, Sandra Kay Jones; aunt, Kayla Taylor; great aunts, Rebia Taylor, Marlena Davis and Latoya Jones; father’s side - grandparents, Don and Micaela Lee; paternal grandfather, Santiago Garcia; three uncles, Alex Michael (Charmaine), Chris (Wanda) and Brian; a host of cousins from both sides of the family and many friends.
Sweet Great Niece You left too soon in such a horrible way. But rest assure in my heart you will always stay. In my heart I will always believe you are now resting in the Savior’s arms. And that’s the best place you can be to keep you safe from all harm. Now God will always be beside you because your time on earth is through. Take your rest, you are now in heaven and tell mama, I love her too. Love, Your Great Aunt, Marlena Davis
To My Sweet Cousin I will miss our fun times together, I will miss your laugh, I will miss our woman-to-woman talks about life;. You always would tell me how proud of me you were, but honestly I was more proud of you. You were always working on something to make you and your kids life better and I will forever respect that. I love you “Miss Cheetah Print“. From Rochelle
