Although I did not personally know Taryn or her family, I am a friend of Kelly's, her cousin. From what she told me, Taryn seemed to be a wonderful person. It saddens me to think of this loss and I send my thoughts and prayers to all of her friends and family. God bless.

I met Taryn when she was in her early teens. I remember like it was yesterday when she accompanied me to the shore with Rachel & Nick when they were only toddlers. They instantly took to Taryn, who was sweet & so unsure of herself; she tried so hard to be a good helper to us. Years later I saw her again. A beautiful, confident young woman with so much promise walked into my home with her proud father. I was so delighted to see her again, and told her it would be great to get together. As I never will, and the tears flow as I write this, please remember to cherish each day with those special people in your life. Taryn is one of those special people.

Love,

Debbie
