Todd Reese Taylor D.C.

Joe, Flory and La Marr,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember good times with Todd. The times spent in Scouts; both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Time spent playing and hanging out at your house in Sandy with some of the guys in the neighborhood: Pete Saldivar, Jared, Torey, Jamie and Sam Swink (and La Marr was usually there too.) You should be so proud of his accomplishments and I am sure you have great memories to help you through this difficult time.

Dear Taylor Family,

My thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. I knew Todd from High School. He was always very kind to me. What a wonderful son you have. Thank you for sharing his light with me. May Gods great love encircle you at this time.

Joe and Flory,

It is hard to imagine the Democrat Party in Utah without Todd.

Wish I could be at his service but I will be with you in spirit - I'm the caregiver for me 97 yr old mom (my siblings seam to think I'm an 'only child'' since she has needed full time care)

I am so shocked and saddened!What an unspeakable loss to our family, but to so many others as well. My heart is with you.
With all of my love

Joe and Flory,
I just learned of the loss of your son. Please accept my feelings of sympathy. May you be blesssed with love and support for all around you.

Joe and Flory,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I was unable to make the trip to Utah to formally say farewell, but your family has been in my prayers and thoughts this day. Todd and I would talk by phone periodically, and when he was in Helena on Democratic Party business a few years ago, he called to let me know he was in Montana so we could get together for dinner. I will always remember our midnight tour of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in D.C., our private tour of the White House, the fun experience of the DNC Convention in Chicago and the Presidential inauguration the following January. I admire Todd's love of the political process, and his service to the Democratic party in Utah and the nation. May God Bless you with peace and comfort during this time of great loss.

Florie....
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Fifty years ago we would have never thought we would both be burying a son in those times of fun and craziness. I have watched with interest the many accomplishments your son has achieved and the contributions he has made to society. You truly can be proud of his acomplishments. STILL LOVE YOU MY FRIEND. Just know that as a mother I can sincerely relate to you loss! He was a great one.

Todd always seemed to know a secret. The difference between self importance and self worth. This democracy is not made up of a collective soul, but a collection of souls.
One man with courage is a majority--Thomas Jefferson

Love and Peace to Joe, Flory, LaMarr and family.

Joe & Florie,
It is with deep sadness and shock that I learned of the passing of Todd. I know that this is particularly difficult to lose someone so young with expectations so high for the future. There will be many that miss him, but nobody will feel the emptiness quite like you will over the coming weeks and months. May you be comforted in your great loss at this very difficult time.

Todd was a brilliant and torch-bearing ambassador of true Democracy,and political justice ; serving life, liberty and wellbeing for Americans. He mastered the history, and knew the greater philosophical context of Democratic ideals while being an electioneering expert - no one his equal. All this while being an easy-going, unassuming associate and friend serving all with casual humor and competence. Thank you, Todd. I wait to see you again. Elizabeth Chipman

Dear Taylor Family
Oh, how I wish I had told Todd more often how much I appreciated his service, support and "know how" (schmartz) --expertise and common sense. He was blessed with the abilities of a great teacher and leader. Yet, he stood in the background and help those of us who ran for office - shine like "stars". He made us all proud to be called "damn Democrats"!

It does not seem possible that he has left us. He is most likely getting Heaven organized for the rest of us to follow him. I will truly miss this this wonderful man...he was very kind and good to me.

May the Lord bless your family.

With sympathy,

Mary K. Hammond

The Carl A. Taylor family will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult of times.

May your memories be of great comfort to you.
