Taylor loved music and to dance. She especially loved spending time with family and friends. Taylor was always smiling with her big beautiful dimples. Her smile was electrifying along with personality.

Taylor was a beautiful, loving, kind, funny, silly and giving person. She was outspoken and honest. Taylor accepted people just the way they were no matter what you had or didn't have. Taylor's personality had a way of people gravitating to her.

We are thankful that God blessed us with a wonderful daughter, mother, granddaughter, niece, cousin, goddaughter and friend.

Keep smiling with those big beautiful dimples.

SPECIAL POEM FOR TAYLOR:

CROSSING OVER

Oh, please don't feel guilty.

It was just my time to go

I see you are still feeling sad,

And the tears just seem to flow.

We all come to earth for our lifetime,

And for some it's not many years.

I don't want you to keep crying

You are shedding so many tears.

I haven't really left you

Even though it may seem so.

I have just gone to my heavenly home

And I'm closer to you than you know.

Just believe that when you say my name,

I'm standing next to you,

I know you long to see me,

But there's nothing I can do

But I'll still send you messages

And hope you understand

that when your time comes to

"cross over," I'll be there

to take your hand.
