Taylor Patterson Crane

Was thinking of you today Taylor. Knowing you briefly was a very nice time and I hope heaven has a great band for you

Dear Taylor
Today as every day since you are gone, I wake up thinking of you.
Your body may not be here, but your beautiful music remains to remind us of who you were, and who you were becoming.
I know you would have enjoyed today because it's snowing big fat flakes. It reminds me of when you guys were very little and your Dad built the toboggan run.
I am smiling thru the tears just thinking of your beautiful face.
Peace always .
Aunt Chris

Taylor Patterson Crane
by Aunt Chrissy

Big bright eyes,long light hair
A life too short, for one so fair.
Outer beauty, inner grace
A smile lighting up his face

A scrabble player extraordinare
He whipped this grown up fair and square.

I never saw Colin and Taylor fight,
But they raced to the piano with all their might
Becoming musical gave Taylor joy.
It helped him change to man from boy.

Taylor had an inquisitive mind

Taylor Crane was coolest teenager that there ever been. thelast time i saw taylor was at chris' beach house in rock hall maryland taylor, alex c and me were playing a game at the beach we went about 100 yards out we put the big tube in the water and alex c and me would try to get to the top of the tube and taylor would push us off. It was the best game ever. I will miss taylor R.I.P

Hello Chris, Sue and Colin,
It was such a brief trip when I met all of you. The heat of the Nicaragua-Costa Rica frontera (border) and the long wait to get our passports stamped didn't dim your enthusiasm for the experience. Colin was ill--just recovering from the flu--but although he was under the weather, he seemed to enjoy the trip. And Taylor? He was talking to people, watching the press of people trying to get their passports stamped at the only window for hundreds of people. ...

If we all practiced "Taylorism"... there would be no terrorism.

Taylor, thanks for your example.

To Chris, Sue, Colin and all others Taylor had the privilege of knowing... thanks for your helping hand in molding such a bright star in such a short amount of time. I find great comfort in knowing my world has each of you in it.

And Colin, I would like to set the record straight and thank you for the grilled cheese sandwich last summer.

Dear Chris, Sue and Colin,
The first time I experienced your family, I knew I was onto something rare and special. It was a frigid Saturday in December and we were selling Christmas trees for the kids of Gordon and Caln. I remember being so impressed by Colin and Taylor for giving up their Saturday to work in order to raise money for a bunch of kids they had never even met. I waited for the excitement of the day to wear thin, for a sigh of impatience or boredom, for a roll of the eyes, a...

I did not really know Taylor but I am honored that I met him through the words of his family and friends.How proud he must be of his family for their courage and strength.(I'm sure he smiled when his Dad mentioned the Hall of Fame.)As I continue my journey in life his legacy will be one of the many paths I will follow.
Taylor has inspired me.
Peace and Love to the Crane Family

Chris, Sue and Colin,
I do not know your family, but have heard great things from Gail Ferver. I extend my deepest sympathies on your loss of Taylor. I can tell you that you will receive great comfort from reading Taylor's guest book. My nephew Damon S. Young has a memory book on "Legacy", and it comfort's me to read his book.
Taylor seemed like a very bright, fun loving young man. There are no words that can comfort you at this time, but know that you are in my thoughts and...
