Missing you always, everyday🩷 love you💕🌻

Welcome home, Aunt Dawn (she remembered me this time) — with Dawn Creason and Rick Rock

Taylor and Me

Happy heavenly 23rd birthday, TayYer Sarie! You are...were my FAVORITE person in the whole widest of the world, and I've met some pretty amazing people. I know I told you practically every other day, but sometimes, I wonder if you believed me. If you could feel the pain I am going through now, you'd know just how true that is... was. You never met a stranger. I can remember you just walking up to random people hugging them and telling them they were "selky" (soft in Tay terms). As you got older, you would complement any and every one you saw; "there's beauty in everyone". Even with your own daily battles/struggles, you still made sure that the people around you knew you were loved. I admired you so much. The November prior to your passing, I remember we were having a discussion where I told you just how strong and amazing I thought you were. That has NOT changed. Though you aren't here, and there are days I wish God would just erase me from this earth, I think about how you woke up every day and lived. I hate just how much my life has changed since you left us. The number of times I have picked up my phone to randomly text you, "I love you", or "lick you", or "you're still my favorite".... My favorite role on this earth was being your Crazy Aunt. You would either get really red or roll your eyes and join in on my weird and crazy moments. There were SOOOO many times when we would go shopping and I would start singing loudly or dancing... more likely than not, BOTH, and you wouldn't walk away. You'd laugh, start singing or do the quickest little dance move to encourage my behavior. I LOVE you so much for that. There will forever be a Taylor Sarie sized hole in my heart. I know in time, the crying will get further and further apart, but the emptiness... I'm not sure that will go away. I can't wait to see you again. I LOVE YOU TayYer!!!

🎂 Happy Birthday Tay! Love and miss you every single day❤️🌻💕

Taylor was in my preschool classroom as an ABA for several months, her light and vivacity were precious. I can’t imagine your sorrow, but I can imagine your love for her. She was wonderful.❤️

I’m just now learning of Taylor’s passing. To all the lives she touched; I am so sorry for your loss. 

I became friends with Taylor a few years ago when she was in Colorado. She moved to Missouri shortly after we became close. We always talked about wanting to hang out when she made plans to come visit Colorado, but I was always out of town seeing my family when she was here. I finally got to see her in November 2022 when my family took a trip to visit some extended family in St. Louis. I will never ever forget that day. I was so happy to be able to give her a hug after being so close with her for years and not being able to see her other than through a FaceTime call. 

I remember being on the phone with her a couple years ago when she opened the gift I sent her for her birthday, she said it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever received (even though it had been damaged in the mail and didn’t work, she was so excited that I took the time to get it to her). 

Taylor is someone who I will never forget. She always made sure to tell me how loved I was, and she gave the best compliments. Her energy made me feel safe and content. I will love her forever, and I will see her face in every sunflower. 

5 Generations

We started talking online about two years ago and talked almost everyday since, she was a healer and she was passionate about it. She loved Santa muerte, she used to wake me up every morning at about 5am so that we could talk before both of us had to start our day. She loved yoga and taught me how to do it, we loved talking about our dreams together and the spiritual meanings behind them. I loved listening to her talk to her plants like they could hear her haha I started doing it as well.  I loved making art for her bc she was definitely my muse, we weren’t ever able to take many pictures together but the memories are so strong and worthwhile I don’t think I need them, they are very nice to see. Somehow she just always had the right words to say at the right moments even if there weren’t very many, she was the most selfless, brave and caring person I have ever been able to meet. She used to call me while she was working when she could just so she knew I wasn’t alone, I’ll always love her more than anything and try to use what she taught me and many others in my own life.

Taylor was doing therapy with my daughter, Josie, the last few months at her school (she is in PreK).  I unfortunately never met Taylor in person but spoke with her on the phone and texted with her.  She seemed like SUCH a sweet girl; everyone at the school commented on how nice and friendly she was.  Josie was always so excited for the days that Taylor would be at school; she loved spending time with her.  

To Taylor's family and close friends - I am so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful daughter/sister/niece/cousin/granddaughter/friend.  Everyone who loved her will be in our family's thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  

Brooke, Taylor & Hudson
