To the family of Khiry Taggart, words are hard to come by at moments like this but I'm praying for God to bring you peace and comfort as you face the days ahead. I did not know your son personally but my daughter was friends with your son at SIUE and his life and their friendship had such an impact on her that they to refer to each other as twin. She is greatly feeling his loss as I know that you are also so as I'm praying for her I will continue to hold you and your family up in prayer. God is able to heal all wounds. Lean on during these difficult days ahead let him carry this pain for you. He is willing and he is able.

Khiry this is just not fair. It's not right. You were taken from us way to soon. This pain is so bad. You were my little cousin and I can't believe you are not here with us anymore. Our family has been through so much already and now this?!?!?!? I am so angry. You were always sweet, caring and loved your family. I love you always and forever KHIRY.
