I have loved Tay since the first time I met her when the guys were playing Army football. She always had the brightest smile. She’s so beautiful, funny and talented! It was so much fun watching her grow and those times she would play Call of Duty with Kevin & Jamie were epic. They said she was really good. I loved spending time with her. Once I promised to give her a French manicure and she told me I was taking too long bc I was trying to be a perfectionist & she’s like my mom does it really quick lol. She was so good with all the kids. Another funny memory was of the Mac & cheese made for Thanksgiving and Kristen asked if she should save it. Taylor and Kevin had the funniest faces and both said nooo! The shock on her face & quick reply was so funny. We are going to miss her so very much. Our hearts are broken for you all! Sending all our love & prayers. Always here for you! (The Pearces)

My condolences to Taylor's family and many others that are affected by this loss of amazing girl. I went to the same Highschool as Tay, and my sister adored her and loved like no other. Tay and I hung out a few times at the Roubidoux cliff and we would rant to eachother about life and then scream those feelings off that cliff. 

I’m truly devastated and my heart breaks for everyone who has been affected. May she rest peacefully and play some soccer in the clouds above.

I will never forget Tay's love for the color yellow! It was her aura, who she was! A sunflower forever.

I first met Taylor when her crazy Aunt Dawn brought her to church as a teen. I have been blessed to keep in touch at different event over the years and to teach her a bit of piano. She was such a sweet, sunny person. You all are in my prayers.

I played soccer with Taylor for a season or two in junior high school, and I have never forgotten her smile. She was genuine and one of a kind. She really did bring sunshine and peace for every person around her. Praying earnestly for the brightness of her spirit to permeate this time of grief for her family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss.

It pains me to write any words here. I don't want it to be true. She was such a beautiful and amazing young woman. I'll always remember her smile. She was always willing to help with the kids and be the responsible one. She brightened every room she walked into. My heart hurts for you guys. Every day I wake up thinking about you, and every night I fall asleep thinking about you. If I could take even one ounce of pain from any of you I would. We love and miss you guys. We're sorry we can't be there for you. But we'll always remember Tay Tay in our hearts.
