  4. Taylor,

    I'm Dan's "evil stepmother". Hurry and get well so I can meet you without your bandages. Dan says you can take what he dishes out and give it right back! Impressive. I want to see you in action.

    Get well soon...the pool was opened today and is waiting for you.

  6. Jr, Hey buddy

    You won't ever have to tell me that was a cheap hug or I didn't hug you long enough again! I hope you will be impressed with my wrapping job on the Mother's day gifts.

    Your family didn't know me and I thank all of them for being so great!

    There are tons of people praying for you! Get better and I will see you soon!!

  7. Taylor I've been very sad reading about all the things you have gone through at your early age, may God bless you and we all wait for this bad time to be over. And you come back to be that joyful girl I had the pleasure to play with. With all my heart praying for you to be back to us. Jennifer I send you my best wishes for this to end happily with our dear Taylor in good health.
    Kind regards to any member of this family

  13. Jen,



    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful daughter for a swift recovery. May you find strength in him through this difficult time and a peace that only he can give..... Whenever we fully trust the Lord there comes a peace that is past the understanding of those who have never experienced it.. that PEACE passeth all understanding. My prayer is that he will give you rest not only physically but spiritually and that peace (that only he can give)will flood your soul! Prayer knows no distance...We are standing in the gap all the way in North Carolina for Taylor!



    Love and Blessings,
    Brittany

  26. Hi Taylor:
    I hope you will soon be reading all of these wonderful messages so many have left for you! I am praying for you & your family and will place your name on our prayer list at church. The power of prayer can move mountains. And, Taylor's mom - when you read this I am praying especially for you, too. My heart is breaking for you right now as I know you must be feeling like you are going through a desert with no relief in sight. Believe on the Lord and have faith that HE will bring that baby through this ordeal! Do NOT lose hope!!! God bless you and I hope to see wonderful results very soon.

  27. My sweet baby girl, Taylor,

    I have tried a million times to write you this post. Every time I end up crying so hard I cannot finish it. Gonna give it another shot tonight.

    14 yrs ago, I was just a kid myself, having a kid. I was given all sorts of advice on how to handle the situation, but after discussion with your dad and some other family and friends I knew what I had to do. From that point I made a promise to God that I would sacrifice anything to make your life as happy as I possibly could. I have made some mistakes along the way, but even in this situation I can look back and say that I did my best. My best could never be as good as what you deserved though. No one's could.

    If I could take all of this away at this very moment and put me in that hospital bed instead of you I wouldn't hesitate for one second. You are my world and I would give my own life in exchange for yours. Seeing you this way is tearing me apart...

    Each day the doctors give us a little good news and a little bad news and the emotional roller coaster it has your dad and I and everyone else on is pure hell. Every person that has ever met you...and some who never have....loves you very much! You have more friends than you could have ever imagined! And we have more support than we ever could have imagined as well!

    No matter what the doctors may say, I am just taking their bad news with a grain of salt. As you and I both know, all of this is in God's hands and He will decide the outcome. My faith and my love of God has helped me to stay strong and know that you are going to wake up and come through all this even more perfect than you already were!

    Baby, I need you to get better, ok? We are all here cheering you on! I can't last another week without seeing your smiling face and hearing you talk back to me! LOL!

    I miss you and I love you with every thing that is inside of me! Let's go home soon....

    Love,
    Mommy

  28. I don't know Taylor or anyone in her family, but prayer was asked for her in Carrollton, GA. I am praying for her now and I will continue to do so. I hope Taylor's family finds strength in all of this and I pray she makes a speedy recovery. God bless you all.

  29. Jen and Tay,

    You know Summer, David and I love you guys very much. If there is anything we can do, do not hesitate to ask. I have prayed daily for God to let Tay return back to us. It hasn't been that long ago that Tay was calling me to vent about her and Summer and their friendship how it was getting a little rocky. I miss you Tay.... Summer is devastated without you. She misses you. Talks of you everyday. We love and miss you.

  32. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers, my sister works with Gail in Gilmer county, GA. I couldn't begin to imagine how you all feel right now.

  34. I work with Taylor's grandmother, Gail. We are all praying for Taylor, as well as the entire family. We pray God's mercy, peace, and comfort for all of you. We do not always know the will of God, but He always knows what is best. He looks at the "big picture", where we only see the small scope of things. God holds the future in His hands; therefore, it is in the best of hands. God bless all of you. Regina Morgan

    I am Dan's mom. I have been praying and have been thinking of you a lot. I have not had the pleasure of meeting you yet. I am looking forward to seeing you, happy and healthy.

    Lots of questions and lots of answers. God knows all and will take care of you.

    Again, I am praying for all of you.

  55. Taylor, I remember the first time I met you when you were just about 18 months old when your Aunt Janet and Craig were getting married. You were so remarkably adorable and cute with those little curls - you almost stole the day from the bride! Now you've become a beautiful and graceful young lady with family, friends and people you have never met worrying and praying for you. I hope that somehow, someway, that you can hear the pleas of your mother, your family and friends and find your way back. May your family find strength in God's grace and the love that surrounds them.

  66. Hey Tay! It's your mom again! They say you can hear me talking to you while you in this coma but just in case you can't I need to keep in touch this way. Besides, it will give you something to read when you wake up!

    Things have been tough on everyone. I want you to know how great Dan has been during all this. He's really been looking after me and taking care of me. I think you called it right the day you told me that "he's the most awesome guy you have ever dated!". You know it means the world to me that I he has your approval! We just want for you to get better soon so we can go to Chuck-e-Cheese again. Softball games aren't the same without you. Nothing is.

    I love you baby girl. I'm gonna cut this one short before I get all emotional here in your room with you. Your EEG indicates that you don't like that!

    Kisses and huge hugs from Me and Dan both! Oh yeah, and when you get better we are ALL going to Disney World! The whole family! My family, your dad's family and probably a few friends as well!

    Love you baby girl!

  71. I am saddened to hear about the "change" in Taylor's condition. I know it must be frustrating to have so many teams of doctors, but I'm glad she is at a hopsital where she can get the most up to date treatments.

    Just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you. (Like I ever stopped!!). Pretty soon the devil is gonna get tired of fighting God and all of us and you will grace us with your presence once again. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow, a mystery, but today is a gift". Each and every day you fight this is a gift to every one of your friends and family members. It's tough seeing you like this but we're holding out for that miracle we know God can deliver. We pray and we cry and we smile, thinking of the beautiful, intelligent, strong, silly young woman you have become. You hurry up and get better; I have a suprise when you wake up. I love you!!!!!

  82. Taylor, your family is in my thoughts and prayers...this blog was passed to me by a mom of one of the kids at SCMS. I'll do my best to pass it to as many people as I know so that you have an entire army of prayer behind you. We don't know God's plan for you, but know that he will keep you and protect you for all of eternity. God Bless you Taylor.

  83. We met your parents in the PCCU at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital while our son, Dustin was there. We saw that your parents trusted God with the plans that He has for you and a peace and hope related to this plan. Through Him, all things are possible. Although you do not know us, we have been praying for a quick recovery for you.

  96. Hey TAY, i miss you more than i know how to show. God talks about "child like faith" in his word and i know you have been strong, not only for yourself but for all of us. i can't even ponder the pain this is causing to those closest to you but my heart is grieving. It's 2:20 am and i spoke with Jen earlier(well i listened mostly) for a brief moment. I'm praying so hard along with everyone for this situation. I pray that Gods will, will be done. i miss your smiling face. Over the years that i've known you i have made you a part of my life trying to keep up with you and the goings on in your life. I understand God gives us mercy and grace but this is not the condition we were praying for, we want you to do what you can and be as strong as you can to come back to us. I LOVE YOU and will continue to ask GOD for a miracle but if he needs you there then i pray he will allow you to watch over me. i miss you and wish i could change things as they are. Jen, I LOVE YOU as i always have, be strong and know that HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON> . I'M reaching for comfort and understanding and my thoughts are with you for the difficult times ahead.

  102. Taylor,

    i dont know if you remember me much, but we went to Smyrna Middle School together in 6th grade and part of 7th. We had great times together! And i was wanted to let you know Taylor, that you are in my thoughts and prayers through the good and bad news. I love you dearly and miss your smiling face.

    Once you get better and of course(after your vacation) we will have to hang out again like 6th grade and make fun of each other for being in that silly newspaper staff together! I love you Taylor and so does everyone else. I am praying for a safe recovery. Have a great day!

    We had a special time for you at SCMS this morning. We prayed and cried and laughed together as we thought of Taylor and what a blessing she has been to each of us. We believe a miracle can happen but we also surrender to God's will. Taylor, through you, we were all able to share the love of God and feel his presence at our school. I want to thank you for being the person you are and touching so many lives.

Reading through these posts Taylor was an amazing girl who loved life. She left her awesome mark on so many people. I can't imagine the pain you are going through. I hope that this verse will give you some comfort. If not right now then in the near future. "So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." – John 16:22.

    I used to go to Stewarts Creek Middle school. I moved and i thought i would die because i missed my teachers and friends. I didn't know Taylor very well ,but i had seen her face many time. Now that i think about it, every time i saw she was laughing or smiling. It's horrible to think that such a wonderful life in this world has been taken from us. I wish i could have gotten to know her.

    I love you so much! I haven't really accepted the fact that you've left this earth yet. It hasn't hit me yet because I always think of you as such a sweet, VERY ACTIVE, VERY Talkative, AND ALWAYS SMILING PERSON. I have you in my heart, and I am praying you love your new place in heaven. It isn't fair at all, and I would have done anything to trade places with you. But, I know you have been a blessing to your mother, and God has special works for you.

  137. It's amazing what a simple text message can do. It can be as short as three words and still make you cry your eyes out. I didn't know Taylor. I never even saw her at school, and now, I wish I did get to know her...
    I've heard nothing but good things about Taylor. It seems like everyone at school LOVES Taylor. Anyway, the minute I got a text message saying that Taylor passed away, I don't know why, but I cried my eyes out.
    I still can't believe how much that little girl has impacted my life. She helped me see life in a different, better way and I never even met her...
    I'm sure Taylor's heard about me in school. I just can't believe I never got the chance to meet a very special person like Taylor Brown.
    To Taylor's family: I'm really sorry for your loss. I know saying that it will get better doesn't help one bit. But even though I don't know you, I would like you to know that I pray for you every day. May God bless your entire family each and every day.

    The first time I met you feels like just yesterday, that day someone or something told me to spend every minute I could with you and your Mom. I am so so glad I listened, and I am very very very thankful for every second I had with you and every text you sent me!!!

    I dont know what kinda internet access you have in Heaven?lol I hope you are able to read how many peoples lives you touched and realize how much you are missed!!

    I'm giving your Mother's day gifts to your Mom on your birthday, and will get into my Taylor mode(n act like a kid just like we did) and continue that every year!! I am going to take care of your Mom and I think you know/knew that, so no worries!

  142. Taylor, I have known you since pretty much the beginning of last summer. We met whenever I used to go skating, and we'd always used to play around when we were there. Whenever I really started getting to know you was when 7th grade started. We had 5 of 8 classes together! I don't know if Mr. Harding or MK (Mr. Kovach) will ever read this but we always used to play around in there classes, especially MK's. We'd fight over who got to do the Powerpoint slides on MK's computer, and I'd usually win :D. I remember coming into school the Monday after you went into the hospital and I heard about you being in the coma, and I "thought" that everything was okay and you'd be out of it in no time. But then it became a week, and then two weeks, and you weren't back yet. It killed me those two weeks when you weren't here because nothing was the same in Mr. Harding or MK's class. Slam was especially different without you because I'd either sit with you and kenzie, or Jamie and Birdman. And I remember you'd always make me so mad whenever you would be like, "so Neil, you still like kenzie?", and I'd always be like NO! even though I did, and you'd make me so mad, but somehow I always seemed to get over it. But the thing that tore me up the most, was that I sat by you in 8th period the friday the seizures started happening, and I walked you out to the bus that afternoon, so I feel like I did a great job of being a great friend to you, so that helps me alot. I'm going to miss you so much and you changed my life so much Taylor, I love you. :)

  148. I'm sorry for your loss, I'm Taylor's age, and I wish I had met her. She sounds like a beautiful, wonderful girl, and I bet she was very strong through all of this. But, she's not gone. She's simply left for the time being until we all meet her again. My prayers are with your family. God Bless.

  149. I used to go to lancaster with taylor. I remeber she was such an amazing girl. We used to sit in after care together and just laugh about nothing. As soon as i found out that taylor had passed away i couldnt help but cry, and think about all the memories we shared. Taylor was an amazing girl and could put a smile on anyones face. Its amazing how many lifes she has impacted. I know she is in a better place, and she will be missed by a lot of people. Im very sorry for your loss. I pray for you all everyday. Your daughter was an amazing girl.

    I did not know Taylor, I only know Aaron through the Hillsboro-West End Neighborhood Association board. As a parent, mother, neighbor, and friend, I extend my love and deepest sympathy to Taylor's family and friends. From everything I read, she was an amazing child and an example of what huge strength can come in a small package. My prayer is that that the memory of her love and strength will carry you through these days. God bless you.

  151. I can not put into words the pain I feel. Taylor was the sweetest little girl that I've ever met and treated everyone she met like family. Christy loved her so much and I was hoping they could be life long friends because Taylor was such a wonderful little girl. She brightened the spirits of everyone around her and if it's God's will that she be nearer to him now then I am most happy for her, but saddened for the rest of us.

  158. Jennifer,
    I cannot imagine what you have been going through and what you are still going through. I am extremely sorry to hear of your loss. Although, I didn't know Taylor that well...I do know that if she was anything like you, she was a doll baby. From the posts that I have read, she touched so many people and I know that has to be a blessing to you. You always want your children to make you proud and I can tell she did. She touched many lives and this affects many people. Our church prayed when I found out and we will continue to pray for you and your family and friends. I love you very much and I'm so sorry we don't see each other more often. It seems to always be on a sad occasion. Maybe that is one of the messages that God is trying to tell us....to be there for each other in good times and in bad. Please call me if you ever need anything. Love you,
    Kathy Smith (formerly Powell) and Jay (my husband), Jake (our 17 year old), Tyler (our 14 year old) and Ashleigh (our 13 year old)

  159. The day taylor passed away i was in georgia
    because my grandfather passed the 26 of may he lived here but he wanted to visit his family down in georgia.So, keep the faith and hang in there!!!

  160. I didn't know Taylor, but my niece did. I live here in California and my niece came to spend the summer with us. She tells me Taylor was the greatest friend. I felt sad when she told me Taylor's story because she was so young. She tells me she was born having health problems. To Taylor: I hope you feel better now enjoying your new life next to God and being part of his angels. To the Family: I know losing someone you loved is probably the hardest thing a parent has to go through, but think that now she won't be suffering any more and that now she is in a better place. I felt chills when I saw that you accomplished Taylor's last wish. You are a wonderful family and Taylor knows that wherever she is.

  167. Everyday i sit here and look at the pictures of me and Taylor.I seem to be getting mad at God for taking my bestfriend,but then i remember she is in a better place,and atleast i was able to know her and recieve the wonderul lesson she has taught me,and im grateful for the time i had with her.I miss her terribly and everyday i wish it was someone else and not her but i know theres a reason she left,She is the most prettiest angel in heaven,and probably the craziest,the way Jen raised her,i see where she gets to be so strong.

    I love and miss you Tayluhhh.

  175. Tater-bug,

    Me, Missy, Kimmie, and Summer came to visit you Wednesday. Hope you liked the purple flowers...sorry we couldn't find any cool balloons...we'll have some next time though!

    Life sure has changed. I don't know how I make it through each minute without you....much less each 24 hr period! Most everyone here has been great...a few, not so much but you know who they are! It is amazing how much you can think you know someone...and they turn out to be a totally different person. Guess God has his reasons for each person's "season" in my life!

    I am missing you tremendously today. Your dad's having a rough time too so let him know you're around him and love him. Some days I feel your prescence so strongly around me...and others I just long to feel it. Those are the bad days....the ones where I just feel alone and lost.

    I love you so much baby girl! I hope to be reunited with you soon! Let God know for me that I don't really care to be here into old age. Just need to hold my baby again!

    Love you with all of my heart and soul!

  176. Taylor,god knows how much i miss you.
    We were so close and you vanished so quickly.Each and every day i try and stay strong just like you would.you were always the highlight of my day and always i was okay and had a smile on my face before i walked down that hall.We were bestfriend,everyone knew it.You used to tell me everyday and you used to introduce me as your bestfriend to people.You know ive stopped doing everything we did together for some reason,i guess i want them to stay OUR memories.I still try and check up on your mommy lately,she's been real upset,I gotta tell you what she did!but missy made her feel better,all the stories you told me about missy being amazing are true!Your mom and Missy remind me of me and you,they act the same as we did,But make sure you keep watch on my second momma,and your daddy!God knows how bad they miss you,and me.I dont go a day without watching our videos or lookin at our pictures.I automatically put pictures of you in my binder when i got it.i promised you we'd always be bestfriends,and that promise is gonna be kept.The barn we always went to to have our pictures done has been dedicated to you literally,Joe let us get spray paint and write your name EVERYWHERE!i still remember every memory we have like it was yesterday,like the first snow day we had we tried going in that hugee ditch on the matress and i fell in,and when we had a snowball fight in the Kmart parking lot.I cant go skating without crying cause we had SO many GREAT memories,whooo st.patricks day was fun with brigham and chase,ahha lol.
    Babygirl,ive felt you with me all along this way but since i know i cant physically see you and you telll me everythings gonna be okay i break down,just stick with me and that way i can talk to you,i told you every single thing that went good and went wrong,Now im crying.your probably watching me saying your gonna beat me up when you see me again,You used to always tell me that when we talked about you moving.
    My mommys thinking about buying your house,and ill get your room if we do,EVERYTHING YOUR MOM LEAVES WILL STAY THE SAME.i dont even wanna think about someone else going in that house replacing our memories.
    Oh i came and saw you along with missy and your mommy and summer,we had fun that day,i know you heard us from alll the way across the cemetery when your mom tried getting in the tomb stone,i miss you so much.life has changed and its not making me happy like it did when you were here.i only keep the smile on my face because i remind myself you have on your face right this moment like you always did.People ask me who i admire and i always say Taylor Brown.You stayed so strong about everything and always found something positive in a negative situation,when you didnt have a smile on your face it only meant you were taking a breath.You dont know how bad i miss hearing your laugh and seeing your smile everytime i get on the bus in the morning welll yet how much i miss it generally.I love youu.

  178. My precious angel,

    I'm at our cousin Tim's house right now and we are having a family reunion tomorrow. Funny, I know I am related to these people but I don't feel part of a "family". YOU were my family. Everyone here in GA just bickers all the time and it really gets to me because I have things to REALLY bitch about and here I am holding it all in so that I don't make anyone else uncomfortable around me...you would think they could all do the same, huh?!

    Kimmie and Summer and Monica have been checking up on me a lot. I thought it would be painful to have them around without you there but it is actually a lot of fun. I just try to act is if you ARE there and enjoying all of our activities with us! Trying to find some new hobbies but it seems you and I did EVERYTHING together so there isn't a single activity that doesn't remind me of you! Sometimes that gets hard...

    I miss you terribly. I keep myself as busy as I can during the day...but when I lay down at night and try to sleep I just can't help but cry. Doesn't help that I have to lay here and cry alone either. I'm so glad your dad has CJ to wake up next to when he gets upset. Doing it by yourself is a challenge....

    I love you sooo much and am hanging in there until God finally brings us together again. Trying to enjoy life until then but I'm not really finding enjoyment in many things anymore. Don't worry....I am "making the best of it" like everyone says...it's just that "the best" for me right now isn't all that great.

    Like Kimmie said "make sure you keep watch on my second momma,and daddy!" We both need to feel your presence right now.

    Going to be having lunch with your Nana next week....oh, and I gave Hamilton your trampoline. Jay was so glad I offered it to them. Hami is going to have so much fun on that thing! I just couldn't sell it to some stranger. Didn't feel right.

    I better get some sleep. Feel free to visit me in my dreams tonight. I could use some cheering up!

    Love you with all my heart and soul,
    Mommy

    Haha. Classic. We had a new one every day.

  181. OMG! I just noticed today's date about an hour ago! I cannot believe it has been SIX MONTHS since you passed away! I honestly don't know if I'll make it through the next six! I miss you soooo much!

    We had Haley's birthday party yesterday and she was sad you weren't there. Summer had a really hard time today too.

    Casey has been visiting us this weekend! I know how badly you wanted her to come and live with us...I'm still trying to make that happen.

    Went to the Christmas tree farm with Janet and the family and went on a hayride...those aren't the same without you...very bittersweet day! Don't think I will ever go on one again.

    Julie and Tucker and Ma-Maw all seem to have the flu so tell God to give them a break for us please!

    Love you soooo very much Taylor! Wish you could be here with us all! Christmas is just gonna suck......

  182. Thanks to the staff at Stewarts Creek Middle School, there is now a bronzed plaque in memory of you on one of the front columns of the school! Mom and I went to see it. It was very hard to look at. I think it is an awesome gesture....but still wish it had never be necessary.

    Trying to plan a mini-vacation so I can just go and take all this in. Time doesn't make it better. It does just the opposite. Life is just existing now. I have no desire to do anything because nothing is enjoyable.

    I asked...begged...you to hang in there for me because you knew I couldn't survive without you. I cant comprehend WHY you gave up?! I am sure you had your reasons...just wish I knew and could understand them.

    I am missing you so much! My heart is no longer even usable. Just a bunch of little broken pieces now. Could you ask God to help me with that? I don't think he's listening to me anymore!

    Love you,
    Mommy

  183. It is very extraordinary that the good folks at Stewarts Creek Middle School's hung a plaque in Taylor's honor! It is comforting to me to know that her she is not forgotten.

    I recently wonder aloud, "Why does God take the really GOOD ones before their time..?"
    To which a friend replied, "...to remind us to reexamine our own lives and the way we are living."

    We cannot help but be sad for ourselves because we are left here to miss them... or maybe even angry that we've been left here to live without them. The problem is that one can never be sad enough or angry enough to bring them back.. the sadness and the anger do nothing more than eat us alive. So... what's there left to do? Take action. Live. REALLY live. Don't just merely "exist". Find your passion. Strive to be more alive as we go forward and carry Taylor (and other lost loved ones/friend) in our hearts.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Janet,
    You are so right! I was just having a really hard day! I know she would never want me left here just existing...it is just hard to find something to make me happy again. I can't imagine enjoying things again but I guess that comes with TIME. I have to keep reminding myself that 8 months isn't all that long and I have to be patient with this process....you of all people know I am NOT the most patient person in the world! lol!

    Grief is actually a very selfish feeling...we should be happy (even envious)that Taylor is with God...but it is human nature to want our loved ones here with us!

    I am still very angry about the whole situation...but I am also still faithful to God and pray He will continue to lift some of the sadness each and every day!

    I am sooooo very grateful that I am surrounded by wonderful friends and family that are patient with me and who are supportive and loving! Can't ask for any more than that!

    Love you,
    Jen

  185. Remember the paint markers we used to color your binder?
    Well, in class I was super bored and started making random circles with my markers. After coloring for a good 10 minutes I remembered us coloring your binder with paint markers. It put me in a good mood. So the bell rang, I put the picture in my bag and finished the day. When I got home, I was going through by pictures on my iPod so I can delete some cause I have like 500. LOL. But then I saw the one of the drawing we did on your binder. I said to myself "wow, that looks alot like he one I drew today in class." I went and got the one I drew in class out of my bag. To my amazement, it looked almost EXACTLY like the one we drew in class. Most of them were in the same place as the one we drew. Most were the same color too! Only about 4 of the dot were different. But I was still shocked. It was crazy!

    We went to Vanderbilt today and planted a flower in your memory. They had a memorial service and it was so nice. Saw a lot of the people who took care of you and who helped the family a lot. Your favorite nurse, Ashley (the one who painted your nails and shaved your legs for you) came up and hugged me. So did Dr Maynard. He even remembered my name! They are such a special group of people. Wouldn't take their job for anything in this world!

    We love and miss you so very much. Everyone says hello!

  193. Taylor,
    I think of you all the time but this week has been another hard one for myself and friends here in Ellijay, a good friend lost her son in an accident he was 7 years old, what gave me the strength to face his Mother was I knew you were there with him and knowing you, you were among the first to receive him in Heaven, you gave me the strength without anyone knowing what was going on in my head as I knew I could not tell his Mother at that time that you would be there with him,somehow I knew what to say to her and comfort her without upsetting her anymore than she was already. My beautiful loving Great Niece, you guided me through it with your care and love I was able to face Nicole and be the friend I should be. I kept remembering the time on your Grand Mother's porch when you first met Andy and the conversation we had that day. I got all the strength I needed remembering that day and I knew then what I had to do as a friend to Nicole. That day stands out in my memory as I felt that was a day you and I became not only Great Aunt and Niece but we learned a lot about each other as well and bonded as good friends. It is amazing how you touched so many lives not only while alive but also in your death. I have no Ideal and can not Imagine what it is like for a Mother to lose a child but I do know the pain of losing a child you love dearly,in this family we all know that pain as for heaven has quite a few of them there now.I am sure you are making them all laugh and giving Paw-Paw and Maw-Maw a show as the little entertainer you are.
    I had to write you this today, you are so much on my mind theses days, I can not seem to have a thought without you there which is a good thing by the way. I Love You And Miss You Baby and look forward to the day we can all be together again, until then I will try and do as I am suppose to on this Earth and always keep my family and friends close to my heart.
    I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TAYLOR BROWN
    YOUR GREAT AUNT JOYCE

    ReplyDelete
  194. Well said Aunt Joyce! She sure is doing a great job helping us all live better lives, even now. Her "purpose" was fullfilled here on earth and somehow that helps soften the blow just a tiny bit. If Nicole ever needs to talk to someone who has been there she is more than welcome to contact me...even if it's just to scream and cry! I certainly have those moments myself!

    Love you,
    Jennifer

  195. ONE YEAR! Are you freakin' kidding me?! It isn't possible it has been that long ago that all this happened. I really have been as strong as I can be and I have done well for the most part this year...but it seems as if the dam may be about to break. I thought having this cook-out tomorrow was going to distract me...but instead it is just making me nervous about how I am going to hold it together in front of everyone! I apologize ahead of time if I make anyone uncomfortable or even more sad. I just had NO clue it was going to be this tough.....
