May you rest in paradise

July 26, 2016

Missing you so much still its hard to believe some days that you are not here with us on this earth. These 3 years have been very hard on us all and it still seems like yesterday. The grief that I still struggle with has just become a part of my everyday life and I am learning to live with it. Not a day goes by that I do not remember you and try in some way to keep your memory alive. It hurts me so much that your children will not get to enjoy life growing up with you. Sucks and hurts that I can not hear your voice or see you. Luv ya and miss you more than I could ever explain.

Miss you more and more each day my heart aches....

October 15, 2013

I haven't stopped crying since you went away;
I've asked God time and time why?
I miss you so much it keeps hurting and I can't stop crying,
Just the thought of you makes me cry.
I only have a picture now and the pain is so deep inside my heart,
It never goes away.
I miss you being here, there is no way to say how much,
I Just know that the pain seems to never go away.

I close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here; I lay awake at night just waiting for you to appear I wasn't ready to let you go.
Even though I'm told that it was your time, I still can't get that through my mind.
Day by day I think of you, and how you never left without saying “I love you” How can all of this be true I still can't understand
I can't believe you're really gone, I still can't accept it.
I miss you more and more everyday and all I can do is pray and keep asking why, somehow I feel I will never know and that hurts me so much more. Why God Why ~ will I ever know??

Its been exactly 30 days since God took you from me, not a day or moment goes by that I dont think of you. I can not get thru one day without shedding tears multiple times a day. I still can't figure out why and probably never will know. All I can say is it hurts so bad I feel the pain in my heart literally. They say your in a better place but that is not good enough for me as I just want to see you and hear you again. I pray to God everyday that he allows me to see you or hear you again, but so far he has not answered my prayer. There is no other pain as painful as losing you. It doesnt seem like I am going to get thru this at all. I am angry, sad, lost, confussed and so many emotions that its hard to explain how I feel everyday. The only thing I can say that I am happy about is that my last words to you and you to me were "I love you momma" and I said "I love you to Corey" This time I just forgot to say I will talk to you later. Guess God had it planned out already. I am sure you are resting in peace.

Corey, its still so very hard to believe & so hard to understand why you were taken from us so suddenly & so tragically. It's just not fair!! I guess God must have needed you just a little more than we did. You had such a big heart & were so kind to everyone, especially your family. Our hearts are still so broken & we miss you so much and when we are feeling down we think of your smile & find comfort in knowing that you're in a much better place than we are & that one day we will see you again. So until that day, fly high Corey, fly high!! We love & miss you so much!! Gone, but never forgotten!!!! <3

God Bless the Taylor Family. They were the best parents in the world and went out of their way to do anything they could for their children. Cathy & Charles I know your heart is heavy, God will carry you through this. I am totally devasted. Cory was like one of mine. He & Jacorey has spent much time with my boys and they were all like my own. With time God will heal all of our hearts.
