My first ever friend I made moving to Florida. Taryn so many parts of you shaped me into the person I am today. While we had not spoken in almost two years…this ripped me apart. I always said despite going separate ways, you would forever be my sister. The matching tattoos, the countless sleepovers, our silly YouTube channel, family vacations, graduation, forever cherished. I have been trying so hard to cope with this for weeks, and it is so hard. I wish I had gotten to tell you how much I love you one last time. I watched all of your accomplishments from the sidelines for the past while, and I wish I would have just spoke up and said something verbally. Your energy lit up any room you ever walked in to. Your laugh recognizable from a mile away. You were always considered family in my home. I prayed every single day that you would wake. I know you are now resting peacefully TareBear. This is a giant loss to all around you. You were loved by so many.

My condolences to Taryn's family. I first met Taryn when we were in middle school. and we would often joke about her not staying on beat. But she showed us why she made the team. And stunned us all. We love you girly. -SMS Cheer Squad!

Omg Taryn… where do I even start. Thank you for always being such a wonderful friend. Thank you for finding ways to stay in touch, no matter what. For every hangout, every dog dates, every moment filled with laughter and smiles—thank you.

Thank you for being someone I could confide in, for your honesty, your support, and for just being you. I’ll always cherish our childhood memories, our sleepovers, and the bond we shared over the years.

This one hurts differently… you were the one friend I truly had. I love you so much, and my heart goes out to all your loved ones. You will be deeply missed.

My sincerest condolences.

My beautiful little girl,

You have no idea how much you are missed and loved. You brought me nothing but joy from the very beginning. I cant wait to hug you again. Until then, my love, know that I will be thinking of you every single day and keep trying to do better just like we did together.

I love you always and with all of my heart,

Mommy
