I will always remember the cute little boy in the Batman costume at McDonalds and the way he could not get over my son's senior high school ring when ran in to you guys having dinner at JoJo's. Taylor wanted a ring just like that. He was about 7 yrs. old and couldn't wait to get a senior ring. He had such a sparkle in his eyes. My heart hurts for all of you.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of your son, Taylor. May the God of all peace give you supernatural strength and comfort as you walk through this time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. "Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." The words may sound hollow right now, but God knows your heartache and will be your strength.

Judge Collins and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and in those of my family.

September 15, 2012

Denise,

Our sons' are but months apart in age. As Judge McSpadden alluded to yesterday, when one of us suffers in the CJC "family" we ALL suffer. My deepest heartfelt sympathy and prayers of comfort go out to you and your family over Taylor's passing on. For it IS my faith that - to my core - truly believes - he did "just' pass, from one place to another more spiritual, peaceful one.

This comes not from my own thoughts but God himself:

"John 14:1-2": 1 Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.2In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

With the deepest of comforting regards,

Larry Standley

I am sorry I am just now signing the guest book for Taylor. I was not aware there was one. With that being said, Jesse and Caryn and family, my thoughts and prayers have been with each of you all this time. My heart aches for you especially, Jesse. I know Taylor was you whole world. I always enjoyed being around Taylor. He was kind hearted, fun and respectful.
I would never be so bold to think my words could comfort you, however, I pray the words from our God of Comfort will bring you some peace today and forevermore, until you are reunited with your precious son.
"Come to me you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". Matthew 11:28
