Taylor has been a long distant friend to my Daughter, Madison for the last 5 plus years. We learned of her tragic passing this morning on what would have been her 18th Birthday. I cannot put into words how saddened we are that the world has lost such a joyful, caring, full of life and just all around good person. She was a rare gem. Heaven gained a Angel! Many thoughts and prayers to Taylor's Family.
