I often crossed the ball (soccer) to Taylor instead of other players because he had a heavy foot and could get the ball to the back of the net. I used to joke around with Taylor and tell him that when people go to Heaven to pass through the pearly gates they would first have to prove them selves by shooting a goal through the heavenly soccer net... so he better keep practicing. He was very athletic and such a fun kid to be around. In reality, I know that Our Heavenly Father will judge us based on our hearts and I know that Taylor's heart was one of pure love and Kindness. Given this reality, we know T is in a better place... and our (my) mourning and grief is mostly about the missed opportunities we (I) didn't, couldn't, or haven't taken to spend more of our (my) time with you. We will live our lives in such a way to remedy this so we can spend eternity with you when it is our time. One day the whistle will blow and we too will get a chance to take a shot on goal. I only wish I could have heard the whistle blow when it was your time. I miss you brother and will see you again. To the Waldron Family ~ I love you all. Warm Regards. Matt 5:4 ~ A scripture that helped me get though my own little brothers passing.

I was extremely sad to hear about Taylor. I had known Taylor since his freshman year - only my second year of teaching. Taylor was one of my favorite students that year, and part of a tight knit class who missed him when he temporarily moved away. I will not forget him. Taylor had grown so much from the time I met him, and continued to possess so much potential. My heart goes out to his family, who I know loved him so much.

Dear Jeff & Dorothy,
I just don't have the words to express how my heart is hurting for your family during this difficult time. When I read the news article and saw Taylor's name it blew my mind. Taylor was always so nice and polite to me...and that SMILE made me wonder what he was up to...I remember one morning while I was at the House with Dorothy, Taylor called us wimps for not wanting to drink raw eggs with him for breakfast....I guess God has a bigger plan for the footprint that Taylors life imprinted on the hearts who knew him and may the light of his SMILE shine forever....You are all in our thoughts and prayers...Melissa Helmick

Dear Waldron Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I can still see Taylor's sweet, shy...and sometimes impish smile when he was in my second grade class. He had a great heart. I also remember his beautiful art work that he was always creating.
May all your wonderful memories of Taylor help you through this most difficult time.

Taylor was an amazing kid who overcame some obstacles his freshman year. I was so proud of his accomplishments and tried to stand by him throughout his high school career. He still would stop by and visit once he was out of my care. He will be sorely missed. My condolences, Kim Wright- his earth science teacher.
