I am so, so sorry that your Taylor has gone. Your Taylor's story is SO much like my son's. I got a chill when I read the part he wrote about being a 'hero' That is what my son wanted to be when he grew up, now he is. The girlfriend and the court stuff and your grief and your pain is mirrored to mine. I wish you some peace.

Wow.. I just got done reading the Sherrifs report of May:21:07... I am in shock!!
I just have to say that, Niccole you are a very strong person, to have been able to be in the same room with Taylor when he died. You and Doug, cuz he was in the room too. I was, and still am shocked and in tears. I am SO sorry for all of that!! Now knowing all that stuff from the scene... there's pictures, and images flashing in my head. I AM SO SORRY NICCOLE!!!! SO SORRY!! My tears go out to you and your family and Taylor!!

I hope you all, Niccole, Doug, Jazzy, Huck, Earl, and Linda, are all recovering well, and are making it through each day, as good as you can!

Best wishes to all of you!!!!

Hey Niccole,
Andrew mostly. Everything your saying is true!! There is one incident that happened 4 years ago that changed my whole life. Someone hurt me and took something away from me. I was suicidal when that happened and i felt like i didnt want to live anymore because of what happened. I was ashamed of myself and i felt like a part of me was missing. I felt like i would NEVER get over what happened but 2 years later it started getting alittle better. I started not to cry about it anymore. Now i know that it was not my fault that person will get there just reward in the end for hurting me like he did. But i got over it for the most part and i never thought i would. 6 years ago a man who worked at the same place that my mom did at the time. He was more like a father to me than my real father was. He liked my mom alot to. They never got the chance to go out. But he died of a cebral hemorage and that really killed me inside, no one has ever loved me like a daughter like he did. I didnt think i would ever get through that rough pach either but i did, i still cry because i miss him but life goes on. i know know deep down i will get through this but i will NEVER stop missing and loving Taylor and wishing i could have done something. This is just another hard patch that i have to face and get through somehow no matter how hard it is even tho it feels like i never will. Somehow life does go on.

Taylors passing has touched and changed so many peoples lives. He will never be forgotten he is a hero that will be in everyones hearts.

I want to get through this and help other people to get through rough paches like this to.

The line is actually "to love is to feel pain" but, yes its the same. The song that it comes from really sums up life: "it's really great to be alive! It's gonna be a world of hurt."

Cindy, first of all, who is yelling at you? Your husband or your parents? You don't have to listen to jack !shrimp! from anyone. Let's make that clear. When I was 17, I thought I had to do whatever would make everyone else happy and as long as I followed that mindset, everything went wrong for me. I never was happy and I was always exhausted and hopeless.

Please do me one favor and go to your doctor. Ask him about the possibility of post partum depression. Have you felt like this since you had the baby and now it's intensified by losing a support system such as Taylor? You gotta grow that support system back up. If it means turning from those who are familiar, yet poisonous, that's what you gotta do.

There's a saying "To hurt is to love". You hurt now. You love your baby. You said you feel like your baby is the only thing keeping you going. That is why you were blessed with him. You need him and he needs you. As long as you still hurt, it means you are able to love. As long as you can love, you are in a position to grow and improve.

As far as your friends turning their backs on you. Of course they are. You actually turned on THEM, if you think about it. They are all 17 and have no clue what their lives are going to be like. You surpassed all of them and you know exactly where you need to be and where you need to go and why. You are much wiser than any of your friends. They can't relate to you right now.

Now, the good news is.... when you have a baby so young like this, it will turn and come back to you in great ways. You will be the queen of every baby shower you attend because you will KNOW that 5 packs of diapers is much more valuable than a stupid outfit they wear 2 weeks.

You will laugh when your class reunion comes and you see people who are now 28ish and they are starting to have kids. They might be frustrated with the stupidest things. You'll get a silent little laugh inside and it will feel great. YOU will have more knowledge and strength than anyone else your age when that time comes.

When and if you choose to have a second child, it'll be easy breezy for you. You have alot to look forward to and I know this sounds cliche and I absolutely hate when this happens. But you have to remember that this rough spot you're in is not going to be forever.

A good way of proving this to you is to have you look back to a year ago.... then to two years ago. Look where you were then and how you felt. Haven't you come a long way? Have you made mistakes that you've learned from and will never repeat? Do you feel like you've "come so far"? Well it's because you have and you will continue. You're just starting and you're in a very good position.

It's SUPPOSED to be difficult for you right now. It's totally normal. Only you can choose which way you want to go with it. You know why they drop the oxygen masks in a plane and ask that the mother puts hers on first. Then you put your mask on the baby second. There's a reason for that. You have to be able to function and breathe in order to help save your child.

I feel like a failure too every day. I couldn't save Taylor either. But what we have to try to remember is, none of us put that rope in his hand. He finely calculated what he was going to do. He tricked us all. He died inside before he even did this. He made that choice and there was nothing anyone was going to be able to do. Trust me, we did exhaust every avenue and every resource. It still happened. Suicide is this silent epidemic that is so hard to fully understand. Because most of us really don't want to die. All we can really do is be there for each other when there are bumps in our road.... and pray for strenth.

I hope I can help you in any way. It is really hard to convince another person that life is worth living when I, myself, know that life totally sucks and will probably continue to throw "challenges" my direction.

But it is... everything happens for its complex reasons. Taylors death has triggered alot of change in many peoples lives. There has been very positive change that I've seen already. It's still hard for me to accept, but I do find pride in the fact that his death has actually affected others in a way that has been positive and life changing.

I hope it will do the same for you... Please write back...

We care! Love you,
Niccole

To Cindy: We don't know each other but your story touches me for some reason. I just want to say don't give up. Think of all you have to live for, and pull through. You can do it. There are people that care about you. Don't commit suicide. I thought about suicide when Taylor died too because of all the pain I felt going to school and not seeing him anymore. And never talking to me. I miss him so much too. But somehow I pulled through it. I thought of how much I would hurt the people around me, and I couldn't do it. So just hold on and you will make it. I believe in you. Because I know how much you miss Taylor. Because I miss him soooo much too.
Hang in there!

Thank you Niccole. Thank you for those resources. I am 17 years old and am married and have a 13 month old son. Life is so hard for me and when i found out that Taylor died i really wanted to die because i had no hope left, i still feel that i have no hope. But i dont want to hurt anyone because i know how hurt i am feeling because of what Taylor did and i dont want to do that to someone else. Its just so overwhelming all the stress and problems and things are never going right. Its really hard to not think about it. I honestly believe my son is the only thing that is keeping me going. I want to be the best mom i can be to him. but at times i feel like im ruining his life and he would be better off without me. I hate feeling like i will never be really happy again. I dont have any more friends in real life, everyone shut me out because i got married and had a baby. Taylor was the only one i had left and now hes gone, When i get yelled at and hurt i have no one to call and cry to anymore. I have to keep all my feelings bottled up inside and its killing me. I need to find a way to let them all out. I need to talk to people who know exactly how i am feeling. I want to be happy again, i just cant find the way. I dont know how many people i have persuaded in the past not to commit suicide and that made me very happy because i made a difference and i would like to continue doing that because i dont want anyone to have to feel the pain that I and you and so many others are feeling with the loss of taylor. Its really great to know that i can talk to you! hopefully, i just registered on that forum so hopefully there are some people on there that i can really relate to.

Cindy K.... first I want to quote something that I posted on the site a while back. This is something to think about.

“That’s the thing, suicide has a way of only hurting the people who liked you. The people who hated you will forget your name in a month and, in fact, the evil bastards who tormented you and drove you to this will actually be a little happier with you gone. Suicide is like a bunch of your friends saving up money to buy you a car and then you taking the car and running them over with it.”

You will only hurt the ones who are actually there for you. Your problems won't go away if you attempt anything irrational like suicide, cutting behaviors, drugs, alcohol, or anything self destructive like that.

I'd like you to sign up for http://www.suicideforum.com and do a little reading. You can post there too and you will be able to relate to alot of the younger crowd there. If you were a friend of Taylors, my guess is, you already know how to reach out to others. You probably reached out to him and he probably reached out to you. I'd love to see you take your emotions and direct them where they need to be. They need to be used as fuel to help others.

You can join me and Jazmin because that's what we have used as our "therapy". I was having suicidal thoughts a couple weeks ago, but did the right thing and went directly to my medical doctor and counselor. They helped me change my perspective around.

I want to share the number to the Aris program. There is a man named Chris Allen who has hooked us up with proper help in keeping our perspective healthy and our communications open and honest. We never know how we'll feel when we wake up each day. In fact, he's going to be here in 30 minutes. The phone number there is 360-336-9353. You can talk to Jolene or Chris. I've dealt with them both over the years right around when Taylors dad stopped visiting him.

I'm sure you feel like there's nothing to look forward to. You think the hurt won't ease. But it WILL. I can tell you firsthand that I have struggled ever since I was 16 years old and I was pregnant with Taylor. It seemed that every aspect of my life was harder than it was for other people. It seemed like no one really cared either. Me and my parents butt heads then and we still do now. That's part of life. But they are there for me.

The underlying "hope" that you need to look more closely at is the friends and family members that you DO have that WILL understand you. There are people that have been there and pulled through. You NEED to simply pick up the phone and call a friend when you have feelings like this. DO NOT act upon them.

Think of the cute guy you're gonna crash carts with in the grocery store one day. Think of the miracle you're going to create when you give birth to your first child. Your life is just beginning and this is probably the most difficult part you've experienced so far. But in reality, it's going to be years of cause and effect. Everything you do and every choice you make is going to reflect on your life and the lives of those around you.

Just listen to your gut and know there are people out there that care about you. I for one, care about you. If you ever need anyone to talk to and have no where to turn, turn here. I'll do the best I can to help and give you resources that will help you beyond my own capabilities.

Use this sadness to reach out. That's all we can do. And you are not abnormal for still feeling like this. Especially now that school is starting. It's a huge reminder of how the year ended in June. It's gonna take a long time to heal. And you won't fully heal. You will always carry the memory of Taylor and I guarantee HE would want you to keep going. He would never advocate suicide to anyone.

We need you to be on our team to help spread awareness to this "epidemic". Stay with us and let's do some good. There are far too many depressed teens out there and when they get to that "point", so to speak, everything shuts off. There was nothing anyone could do to stop him. His mind was made up long before. He had his preplanned trigger points and faced one of them 24 hours before. It was an impulsive mistake. It was a huge mistake.

Take care of yourself. And write me back please.

TO CINDY K.
I read you post on Taylor's website about how you feel about life. I can tell you how me (his Grandfather) My wife His Grandmother) and his mom and sister feels. We have a void that nothing can fill and if Taylor would have realized how much he hurt us and all his friends he left behind he would have never taken his life. He was one of the brightest stars in our lives. We are luckey to have three more shining stars left with us, Jazmine, Tanner and Camden our precious grand chindren.

Please don't think on these lines of suicide get help talk to your parents, friends or a counceler. Talk to Taylor's mother through this web site. Please.

My wife and I would have gave our life for him many times over. Please talk to any one you can to help you, You are too young and have a long life ahead of you you are just starting and I know you have a lot to live for.

Thank you for talking with Taylor I wish the outcome for him was different. He wouldn't want you to even think about doing anything to hurt your self in any way. Don't tell yourself that you are a failure. You are a beautiful person Take care and always think positive.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say I hope you all are doing well. And I hope Jazzy had a great birthday. I went to my school yesterday, and just walking through the halls made me think of Taylor. Man going back to school is going to be so hard. It's going to be hard not seeing him in the halls....or in class.....or after school standing out by the busses.... I miss him soooo much!!!!! He always talked to me at school and I really wish he could be here. I wish he could be here to call me Mexican, and tell me he's going to run my house over with a tank as a joke. :[ He had a great personality, and sense of humor!

Man Taylor I miss you so much!!!! I wish you were here right now to cheer me up. You're really on my mind right now and I wish you were here to calm me down and make me feel better. You were such a comforting person, and I really need that comfort right now. Taylor you were one of a kind.
Miss you like the world!!!!!!!

Best wishes to all of you!!!!

It is killing me inside because i feel so guilty because i feel like i could have stopped you. Ever since the day you died its like my world has stopped, nothing makes me happy anymore. I just wish you were here, ive been thinking about suicide lately, i wish i could be with you! i wish i knew where you are right now!! I wish i could feel your warm arms around me again!! i feel like i cant go on anymore, it is to painful without you here. You saved me so many times, and im a failure because i didnt save you.

I may have not known Taylor but i heard about his death from my friend Cindy Youdarien, I am very sorry for what happened and It may not seem like i care but i do, when i read about him on the website it hurts to know that a person could acctually be that mean to him to where he kills himself, a person needs to know when to stop. Niccole im really sorry for what happened, my best friend died last year and im still not over it. taylor's death even effected people that didnt know him, if anyone needs someone to talk to, Im here for anyone

It's only beginning to really sink in and hurt like a blow torch up ones butt. I struggle with analogies but jeez.. I just go hour by hour hurting and hurting and crying and hurting and bawling and then being forced to fake peace amongst others. There is nothing worse than this. Other than losing more than one. I'm scared to death every day for Jazz.

Every day is a whole new thing. We don't know how we feel like we get up and rolling. I'm forcing myself out of bed at least. Sounds like it wouldn't be that hard but.... man.... I gotta or I'll deteriorate. I'm already deteriorating.

Gnite Taylor. Don't ever be sad when you look down at me... and Jaz.... the rest of us. We love you and understand you and forgive you. I will honor you till the day I die. I'm proud of the person you are.. were. I tried the best I could to keep you alive. I'm so so so sorry I couldn't succeed. I love you and I know if you felt even half of what I feel now, you didn't do this out of vengeance. You were trying to heal your confused broken heart. Damn I would do anything to trade places. Grrrrr,,,

I just found something that made me laugh and I thought of Aunt net. It was at http://www.suicidereferencelibrary.com/

The first thing that jumped off the page at me was "Parents of suicide (POS)" It cracked me up cuz yeah that's so how it is. Since my child committed suicide I'm automatically labeled a POS. A piece of !shrimp!... Anyway I thought that was funny.

And hey Allison how is Louis doing? I worry about you guys alot. I missed the part here where she blamed us for the court battles. That is insane. Never once did we mess with them through the court system in any way, ever. We just kept being served papers over and over. It was totally stupid.

And something makes me laugh about the sneaking out stuff. I don't know any kids who haven't done that. In fact the funny thing is, that I used to take the dog right in front of his bedroom window for his pooping place. If Taylor was sneaking out, he would have had to walk through the landmines. And getting back into the house would have been quite challenging since our dog would violently bark psychotically with a pin dropping.

I hated to even acknowledge the comments cuz I'm not on trial and all that was made with ignorance and hate. They sent their daughter away because of normal rebellion.

I didn't hurt or scare their child. But they continually hurt and scared both of mine. Karma has a way of taking care of itself.

And yeah, a true christian helps others. They don't hurt people. They would be reaching out, learning, and improving their existance with every chance they get. I'll bet they go to church every sunday though and think it gives them the right to treat others any way they like. There are so many fake people in the world it totally sickens me.

Thanks to those who are being supportive though. It means alot. It really does.

what the french toast ! what a cumquat bag I cannot belive the things that woman has said, I have known your family for like eight years now and you have always been a wonderful mother Niccole, Taylor couldn't have asked for a better parent i'm sure everyone agrees. It is only natural to feel so many emotions after something like this i certianly don't think you are trying to drag ppl down with you every one feels anger at times like this......and taylor was brave brave for dealing with all that as long as he did I should know I had a horrid time in middle school I had NO friends and had many problems and let me tell you it was hard to just get out of bed just thinking of the torment id get at school, I dont think taylor was the weak one I think those awful ppl were the weak ones they didnt have the strength to tell her that it was them instead they lied and blamed restraining orders on taylor they are the one who are weak for just shipping theyr'e child off instead of dealing with it, maybe if they had tried being more understanding of her and taylors relationship and let her make some choices and learn fom them she wouldn't of had to sneak around......Niccole you will see taylor again someday ....its that crud that makes me not like religion if you were truly a religeous and god fearing person "aunt net" would never say something so hateful as to you never seeing you son in hevan .......gosh I hate fake ppl !

Aunt Net...you have NO idea. You're the one spreading anger and hate. YOU'RE what !pike! people like ME off. YOU have NO right to say that about Niccole. She did ALL she could for Taylor. And, 'Aunt Net' ANGER IS PART OF THE GRIEVING PROCESS. right now, my anger is at you, for having the nerve to come on TAYLOR'S website, and go after his mother. And the ADHD meds WERE to help him concentrate...to help him in school. god woman, you NEED something to do with your time besides harassing people who loved and cared about him. So, this site is made for people who cared about him, so, leave Niccole alone...your the least of what she needs. and US teens...we KNOW why she says those things of hate...we understand it all too well. You've given us a nice target though.

Talk about hate! I can only say something about the same sex parent comment. I heard that his same sex parent abandoned him several years ago. I know this because one time at school taylor said that his dad was dead. When I asked him what he died from, he said that he was not really dead but he was dead to him. and then he said something about his dad didn't care about him and he didn't care about him either. i remember thinking that sounded really sad.

my own dad does not talk to me anymore either. im 17 years old and my mother is a really good lady. she is always there for me. I feel like I should tell her that just so she knows.

Look! this website did help someone. It's going to make my mother smile.

It seems really mean to be so terrible to someone that you dont even know. It seems even worse because of whut they are going thru. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Taylor CERTAINLY wouldn't want disrespect towards his family! Taylor was treated with the upmost respect and care at his fragile times! His family did everything they could do to help him, and to protect him!! You just have no idea!! You don't know what you're talking about so just leave them alone already!!!! You've spoken your thoughts and I think that's ENOUGH!! So just drop it!!!! >:[ And I will continue to post on the site cuz Taylor was an important person to EVERYONE!

Yeah, I realize it is a fragile time, the last 16 years were fragile for Taylor too, but a lot of people let him down. Evidently it is not a fragile enough time to cast blame and hate on others for your shortcomings as a parent. You fail to understand what the other family was feeling all those months that they were in torment over their daughter's involement with your son. Would you as a parent do everything in your power if your underage daughter was being rebellious, sneaking out at night, disappearing for days on end just to hook up with a boy? Out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere alone. Yeah those kids were not using sound judgement. No wonder the girlfriend was sent away. I would do the same thing to protect her before she ended up abducted or pregnant if she was my child. And where was Taylor's judgement? If he had been brought up with some solid values instead of running free to do whatever, he would have insisted that the girl not sneak around behind her parents back. He would have insisted that she honor her parents wishes and not be rebellious. He would have steared her toward NOT getting into trouble. He would have insisted that she respect her parents. Instead they had no regard for doing what is right. Playing with fire gets you burned. Neither one of those young kids had sound judgement so where were the parents? Why was Taylor allowed to be running around with her, having sex and being an accomplice to her rebellion? And the drugs? Don't you realize that young people's brains don't even stop developing until age 25? The last area of the brain to develop is the center for logic, so in these formative fragile years kids tend to make a lot of errors in judgement. And boys brains develop slower. And there is a lot of sound research that is proving that the use of drugs to control ADHD and depression in not fully developed brains can cause the opposite reaction. Loading up with antidepressants in an immature brain can actually cause suicidal tendancies. Try doing some research. Everyone always wants a quick fix for their problems. Why didn't you kow he was failing in school? Where was the oversight in his life? You knew he was fragile. Fragile kids need EXTRA vigilent parents caring for them. Taylor did not have the capacity to logically make sound choices. And the most important and influential person in a child's life is their same sex parent. The divorce impacted him in ways you cannot understand. You say you are keeping your site up to help others? Then why have you used it as a platform for spreading hate and blame on everyone else? You sound so bitter. And you have caused many other impressionable youth to take up your offenses as well. Do you feel justified in helping others hate? I read those kids statements. If you really cared, you would steer others toward healing and forgiveness. Instead you slander and give your side only. There are always other perspectives besides your own. Your words are powerful and are causing others to hate. Think about that... is that what Taylor would have wanted? Is that how you honor his memory? By getting as many people as you can to jump on your bandwagon of hate and drag them down with you? I don't think you realize the responsibility you have right now. The example you should be setting for the impressionable youth that are grieving, should be one that steers them toward understanding your son's flawed frail humanity instead of casting blame on others for his death. And quoting your son sounds so hollow. "Those who matter know, and those who don't know don't matter" ...well Nicole you didn't know...so where does that leave you according to Taylor?...And if he was truly brave...he would still be here and there would be no need for your "hate-site". It is inappropriate for you to have all your hate-filled mumbo jumbo law battle on your site. It only gives one side. The only side that matters is that Taylor was sad, couldn't recover, needed help, didn't/couldn't ask for it, no one noticed how bad he was doing, so now he is gone, and it has hurt everyone. So try to get others to not have to go through the same thing. I hope you all can get reality based in your thinking so you can move forward. You sound "stuck" in a very unhealthy place. Grief is natural, bitterness, blame and hate isn't.

Wow you seem to be an expert on so many things that I don't know where to begin. So I won't. I was going to delete this, but I want to keep it up as an example. You are the perfect example of someone who is judgemental, insincere, holier than thou, and fake. Your anonimity speaks for itself.

I will agree with you on the cussing as being "not very nice" well I didn't feel very nice that day. Other mothers who have been through this understand that. You do not. I will lean to help those who understand and turn my back on those who don't... and who won't. Talk to my dad. He already scolded me.

I am here to help others who are down. You are here to kick those who are down. Case closed. I hope you find peace within yourself so that you avoid sticking your nose where it does not belong.

Your stabbing comments are much appreciated. **Peeking over my laptop and winking at my son. "Sticks and stones, Taylor... Like I always told you. I love you. And you were as brave as you could be.

Niccole - I read every word on Taylor's site. it is tragic. No mother should ever have their son's remains in a box. Loosing a child is life's greatest most horrible occurance but to loose them senselessly to suicide is the worst ever. Time does not heal all...the longer they are gone, the more you end up missing them. Taylor was too emotionally immature to even be in ANY relationship. He was too fragile to handle the grown up emotions. Those kids were addicted to one another. That was not love. If all of us who got dumped or had a relationship problem or break-up killed ourselves over it, the human race would grind to a halt. He did not have the maturity or emotional ability to see that as with all trials..they pass in time. Tomorrow is a new day. He could not handle his emotions in normal way. He was fragile and flawed. The stress of a relationship gone bad was too much. He could not cope. He was weak, he was not brave like you say. If he was brave he would have hung in there. Blaming the girl or their parents is unrealistic and you are not really facing the truth about your son's depression. Kids don't usually get this upset over these things. The signs were all there. His grades, his isolation, his crying, obcessing about the girl. He was crying out and no one took him seriously. He gave up on life long before her final myspace blog. Blaming her is really you're only way to cope with the guilt. She was just a kid. You were the adult guardian. Unforgiveness will only consume YOU. It doesn't hurt them. Those kids could not have been more wrong for each other. Where were the adults here? Where was their wisdom and counsel? He should have been in a hospital getting treatment for deprssion instead of checking his myspace to see if she had e-mailed him. Get real. And really all the swearing only discredits you. Have some decency. Kids read your rantings. Please be an example for once in your life. I know you loved your son. If you want to see him again clean up your life. If you go to your grave with all this bitterness you will not see him again.

Dear Niccole,
I'm happy I got to see you and talk with you this week. I already 'knew' your kids cuz we always seemed to discuss our kids along with our jobs. Everytime we'd meet for work but we always shared the similarities of our kids & our life course.

With this dedication to Taylor, I got to know your beautiful son who's now looking over his family. You are all strong and I know you know that no matter how bad & tough today seems, tomorrow is always better - it may not be the best, but it always gets better. Keep your chin up girl and I send much love from my family to yours!

I know we ended off on a bad note. and i am so sorry for everything. i miss you like crazy and you mean so much to me. you have no idea how many ppl truly cared about you. you always wrote me notes in math that made my day. and you knew how to put a smile on my face. i miss you so much. you were such a strong person, that wasnt affraid of anything, or at least you didnt show it. all of a sudden i started to notice you were gettiing more and more upset in math. and you were hardly talking. a few times i asked you what was wrong and you said you would be fine. and then we all of a sudden got into a fight and that was the last time i had talked to you. and you i feel like such a jerk for everything that went wrong. i miss you bud! and i will never forget you! sleep in peace.

Nicole,
I don't know if I told you... about the last thing Taylor told me. I've always been short, and he knew that too. He came to me on friday and said " You know what, your really short.(put his arm around my neck)Your always going to be my special little friend. Maybe one day, just one day you'll have a growth spert and be as tall as me." Taylor and I have always had this inside joke between us, he would always put his hand above my head(i couldn't touch it on my tippy toes) and say "You have to be this tall to ride the ride". He would still do it to me in high shcool, that started in the 3rd grade. I miss him so much, I'm trying to get better from this all and it's also hard. I'm leaving soon so I want to say " HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY TAYLOR", early since I won't be here for it. I love you guys. Take care Nicole.

Hey, Nicole, sorry for what happened, it must be horrible! There is no pain greater than losing a beloved child yet to create a life of his own. I still have a hard time, especially at school. It's kind of odd it smells of taylor wherever I go. And I have been getting blocked identification calls and when I answer nobody's there...sometimes I wonder if it's Taylor. I miss him so much. He was a really great guy. He has really changed my life in a good way. He's inspired me. Nicole this was a really good idea putting this website up. Thank you!

Taylor,

I don't even know where to start. I am just so, so, so sorry that this has happened. I am so, so, so sorry that your life was so short and had so many challenges. I just wish we would of gotten together that day and you would of made it over to my place. Maybe things would of been different for you now. My heart just aches for you and everyone involved. You don't even know how many lives you have touched. Including mine.

You saved me in so many ways. I thank you for that. You are a HERO to me. Some people know what I am saying...and I know that now you know what I am saying.

God bless you now and I hope you are hanging with Ray. I miss him so much too.

Love,

It's been a long time since I saw you. You were such a great kid. I remember the day you were born and how happy your mom was. You will be missed very much.

Taylor,
You're in HEAVEN now watching over the rest of this family that were so much there for you from the time you came into our lives. You are the apple of you mom's eye. She worked hard, as a single parent, to teach Love, Respect, and Manners for all you met. She started in your early years to teach the rights and wrongs of LIFE. You and her had to struggle at times to make ends meet but yo both were to proud to ask for help.
I know how close you and your little sister (Jazmin) were. You were very protective, but you loved to tease her and then it would all turn to laughter. She sent many letters and drawings with you to read on your journey to Heaven.
Taylor, you were Grandma's and my pride and joy. You were our HERO. There is an empty spot in our hearts that nothing will ever fill, until we all meet again over yonder. You came to me for man to man talks quite often. Lots of questions and I always knew if you were satisfied with the answers you recieved. More often we rediscussed until I could see on your face you were pleased with the answer.
Taylor, we talked at time of your memories when you lived with us alond with your mom and the times you stayed at our home while your mom was on business trip. Your Grandma spoiled you so much that when your mom came back he would ask about her trip and then tell her all that happened here while she was away. Grandma cooked your favorite foodand made sure she called you to ask ahead for your requests. Our house was always stocked with food and snacks for you and your friends after school. Grandma knew this was your first stop on your way home, until you moved out of town and rode the bus, but every few days you seemed to miss the bus.
TAYLOR, Your Mom, Grandma, Myself and your uncle gave you all the LOVE and support we could.
TAYLOR MARTIN MCLAUGHLIN, you will always be in our hearts and minds forever, We Love and miss you deeply Bless Your Heart.

I am truly and honestly sorry that this had to happen. But, you are in a better place with no pain and all the love and support of those who are still here. I wish that I could see those bright blue eyes once more. I love you Bear...

I am proud to have met you, even though it was once. I saw a lot of similarities between us, it goes to show how strong genetics are. I will always cherish the time that we talked. I will keep in touch with your mom, sister and Doug, they have all been wonderful. If they need anything I will make every effort to be there for them. You have a special Grandma and Grandpa. You should've seen his eyes light up when he met me. He saw a lot of similarities. Everyone is proud of you no matter what, and our hearts will be with you forever.

Even though we haven't really talked I still knew you. I would always see your face when I would walk into the Lunch room. Now that you arn't around I don't know what I will do. Even back in 8th grade we had history together and you would always tell the teacher to call you Steve. Well just always know that you will be missed by many. Even me. We Love You!!!
