My heart and prayers go out to you at the loss of precious Taylor. I've heard what an amazing young man he was and devoted to our savior Jesus Christ.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

Reverand Valary Edwards

To the Stephenson Family,

I have many fond memories of volunteering with Krista at Andy Woods. I then had the pleasure of watching Taylor progress into a fine young man at Hubbard and Lee. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for some healing of your hearts and spirits at this time. You are not alone and God is walking with you every step of the way.
Chris, Chris, Blake and PJ Worthen

I remember Taylor from Andy Woods when you taught 1st. grade. There are no words to say that will comfort you. I know, Genia, my only child went to be with the Lord last year. You will wonder "why", there is not answer except it is in the Lord's hands, not ours. Your heart will be heavy, but prayer and your memories will see you through. We have the sweet assurance we will see them again some day. God Bless you all.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW WHY, B UT STILL HAVE TO WONDER. SOMETIMES WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT STILL HAVE TO TRUST. SOMETIMES WE DON'T FEEL GOD BY US, BUT STILL WE HAVE TO BELIEVE. HE IS THERE, AND WHEN IT SEEMS HE ISN'T....FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND! TAYLOR WAS A BELIEVER, AND HE IS IN HEAVEN, HOLD FAST TO THAT AND TRUST THE LORD TO BRING YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. JESUS LOVES YOU.. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, KRISTY P.

Krista, Steve and Trent, We are so very sorry to hear about your tragic loss. Taylor was one of those that will be remembered so fondly as an outgoing and special young man. He always found the fun in every situation. Please know that you are all in our prayers.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, especially of one so young. My prayers are with you and yours.

Learned about Taylor through Facebook (Ami - headed for Tyler). My prayers and heart go out to you and your family. We haven't been together in many years, but you are all still "family"...

Taylor was such a joy to know. He was always smiling and he made anyone who was talking with him smile as well. This is such a tragic loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Trent, My prayer's goes out to you and your family, losing a sibling or any love one is not easy. I feel your pain and I know what you are going through right now, considering that we just laid to rest my oldest sister exactly two weeks ago today. Just know that God will give you strength and if you and your family just hold on to his faith, then it will allow you to get through this time in your life. I am here for you if you need a shoulder, with much love to you.

I went to high school with Taylor and although we did not hang out his smile stands out in my mind to this day! Remember the good times and that you now have a special guardian angel to watch over you! My prayers are with you all during this tough time.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Taylor must have been a great believer in our Lord. May that bring you great peace and joy! Our prayers are for you and your family that God will be with you in all places to give you His love and comfort.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Steve, Krista, & Family:

Though words cannot express my sorrow for your loss, as a parent my heart is aching with you. I, as so many others, will continue to cover you with prayer. May God wrap you in His arms, & grant you the peace necessary to get through this difficult time. May you also have comfort knowing that you helped Taylor live a happy life, & he is now with our Father in Heaven wearing that GREAT BIG SMILE!!!

Krista and Steve, my family is sorry for your loss and the loss of a dear friend. I remember when I first met sweet Taylor, I had noticed this kind young boy helping my son who was younger than he at a Discovery Science summer camp. I can't recall just what it was but Taylor took the time to explain something to Robbie. They were about 9 and 8 then. Then they became great friends in their late teens. Taylor will always be loved and remembered as a great person and friend. He wouldn't want us to be so sad. God has it worked out now and forever. Taylor was a BELIEVER! Heaven must be happier now!! Blessings and love, Mary K. Peltier

Krista, Steve, and Trent, Taylor was a ray of sunshine. I hope his deep faith and belief in God gives you strength. Our prayers are with you.
Jean and Ron Moshier

Dear Krista and family,
I am so saddened by your loss. I remember Taylor as an always smiling and busy young boy at his first year at Andy Woods. We were so blessed to have you as Jessica's teacher and thought so much of your family. May God strengthen you at this time and give you the peace that passes all understanding.

Krista, Steve, and Family,

Taylor was such a sweet young man. He had a personality that was bigger than life. We will never forget him.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your loving memories bring you comfort.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Taylor. What a wonderful young man, I pray that GOD will wrap you in his loving arms and comfort you during this tough time.

Dear Krista and Steve,

These words are so dear to me and I wanted to share with you.

When I pass from this life, do not weep
My spirit is alive.... It does not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the soft summer breeze
I am the early winter freeze
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awake in the early morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet eagles in circling flight
I am the soft star shine at night

When I pass from this life, do not cry
My spirit is alive…..I did not die.

Krista, Steve and Family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Krista, Steve and Family,

We are continueing to pray for you and your family during this time of such great loss. I will never forget Taylor when we were neighbors on Quail Creek growing up, coming over to our house and calling out "Mr. Simpson" through the mail slot of our front door for my father. Taylor was a great person and he brought joy to anyone around him!

With love! Brandy and Clint Peveto

Krista, Steve and Family,

TAYLOR WAS ALWAYS SUCH A DELIGHTFUL YOUNG MAN TO BE AROUND AND WE WILL ALL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL OF HIS FAMILY. LEAN ON GOD FOR HIS PLANS ARE NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD BUT ARE ALWAYS THE RIGHT ONES.

Krista, Steve and Trent, Words cannot express how sorry and sad we are for your loss. Of all of the kids my kids, Brian and Greg Enlow hung around while growing up, I always remembered TAYLOR the most of all. He was always full of life and ALWAYS smiling. Brian saw him a few weeks ago at Waggonner and told me that Taylor said he was very happy, life was good, how much he cherished his family, and was very involved in church. May your memories of your precious son be with you always.

While I know words cannot express the deep sorrow we feel for you and your family, I hope you will find comfort in the Lord and know he is with you at this time. May he wrap his arms around you and you find peace in knowing Taylor is now with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Words could never say enough. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Krista and Steve,
I cannot begin to put into words how sorry I am for you. Taylor always made me smile. His energetic personality was always refreshing, and his love for life was evident. I know your family will always miss him, and so will many of us. My prayers are with you and Trent.

Our deepest sympathy for you and your family in this time
of loss and our prayers are with you. May the grace of God
carry you through this time of sorrow.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

How futile my words must be to offer you comfort. I wish to express what a joy it was to have coached your fine sons and pray the Lord's peace be with you all.

Taylor was like another child to me during his high school days. The 3 amigos hung out together often. My prayers are with all of you.

I taught Taylor while I was an asst. P.E. coach at Rice Elementary. He was always such a cute, fun kid always smiling. I am truly sorry for your sudden loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
