Taylor,
I am so thankful that I met you and that we were teammates. When I was new to the team, you were the first one to come up to me and introduce yourself. I always looked up to you on and off the field. I will never forget you or your beautiful smile. You are my inspiration in everything I do. I will never take off your wrist band in memory of you. RIP Flash

Taylor was such an inspiration to everyone she talked to. She had the power to make yourself want to be like her, without her even having to do anything. She STILL is an inspiration to me. Her legacy will NEVER die! Tay will always be remembered. I miss her more and more every day. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her at least once, most often 2,3,4,5 or even 6 times. She was such a bundle of fun and I can't wait until I see her again. She would probably laugh at me for all the crying I've done and say "See! was it really worth it?" :) I love Taylor so much and just want her to know that she impacted my life in so many ways. She is truely an inspiration, my inspiration. I love you babe!

Dear Seitzinger Family,
I offer this prayer to you in hopes that God can help you overcome this tragedy that has occurred.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
And Also a blessing for Taylor, May she rest in peace.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
I didn't know her personally, but how it has affected my friends shows me how great of person she was and her memory continues to be. She has helped me, she is my inspiration and everything I do is in tribute to her. Love Always<3
thinking about her as always
July 27, 2009
i opened up a fortune cookie today and inside it read.
" like every strand of gold is valuable, so is every moment in time "
This made me think of taylor because taylor has made me think about living and how short life really is.
She has made it clear to me that i want to make an impact on people someday, the way that she did.
I hope that one day i can be near as good of a person as she was.
I will never forget you taylor..
<3
just a girl
July 26, 2009

Taylor was an amazing person and teammate. Not once was there a time I did not look up to Taylor as my captain and role model. She was one of the greatest friends I could have had. There was not one person she met, that thought differently. We miss her so much. Tammy, Talon, and Troy, it is clear that her strength runs in the family. Remember she will always be with us and she wants you to always be happy. As Taylor always said, "Keep your heads up." Sleep easy Flash.

It's things like these, that makes us realize how lucky we all are to have eachother & life. In highschool taylor & i were complete opposites, we didn't not like eachother, we just didn't talk. I wish i wouldve taken time out to get to know her. I cannot imagine what her family is going through. Every single one of my prayers are with you!

Although I never knew her as well as others I DID know her. And one thing I am definate about is that Taylor was an amazing person loving and beautiful. She never turned an opportunity down and had an amazing track record. She influenced all of us middle schoolers and most of Hamburg. She's made a difference to so many lives. She was many girls' rolemodel and I will always continue trying to succeed what she managed to accomplish; touching the hearts of all with unconditionable love. I miss you.

i don't think that i will ever meet someone as generous, caring, or simply just as amazing as taylor was. everyday i think about her and how much the world is now missing out on. next basketball season i'm going to try my best to put out just half of what she did for us. i'll never be able to do what she did, but maybe i'll be able to honor her just a little bit.

Dear Tammi,
When the time comes that you find the strength to read the countless entries in this book of folks reaching out to you, Know that so many people care. Also know that unless a person has experienced such a loss, they could not possibly understand the depth of your sorrow.
There may be times when you are not sure which way to turn or what to do next, or perhaps even times when you are sure that you will go insane with such deep sorrow, but I promise you that a loving God will see you through even if you are very angry at that same God.
There are answers my friend, we just don't always have them. This next year will be very difficult and I beg of you to be kind and gentle with yourself and your family because there is no right or wrong way to greive. There is no way around the feelings, they will have to be felt as they come, no matter how devastating the pain. Allow yourself to cry as much as you need,scream if you have to, run, punch pillows whatever and hold on to whoever will listen to you without trying to fix it (there's no fix). Don't pay mind to those who think you should be doing better or worse than what you are. We are always right where we are suppose to be, healing is in God's time, not ours. Don't expect people to say the right thing, many times they won't, but they care. Surround yourself with the people who truly love you, you will need them and don't be afraid to join a greif support group, there is so much comfort when you feel understood.
Because your pain is so great, it's easy to forget that your family is hurting too (I know that I did) and everybody "does greif" differently. So again, try to be gentle with eachother as the days pass.
Your Taylor is gone from this earth, but she is never truly gone. She lives on within the hearts of so..... many. You were truly blessed to have such a lovely daughter. God allows us to borrow his children for the time in which he allots, they are not ours to keep, just ours to love. You did a wonderful job loving her. She is not gone, you will feel her at times, you will have moments when you know she is here, watching over you and your family. Peace comes when you accept that she is so much better off than those left behind. Peace comes when you trust that the Lord has a better plan than you. Peace comes when you internalize that soon you will be with your precious daughter, for life is but a wink in the eye of time.
I promise you Tammi, that you will feel joy again, this intense pain that you are feeling will be relieved at some point, it just takes time. alot time when the loss is your child.
From one parent to another, hold on to those who are willing to experience the loss with you. You will learn how to live again, Those of us that have lost a child say that you learn to live a "new norm" and you don't live on, but you carry on. If you ever want to talk, I will listen. Your sister, Holly, knows my number. I have had many sleepless nights, do not be afraid to call at ANY time, believe me I will understand.
Love, Tammy Van Parys

I have 2 daughters of my own. Now in adulthood. When I think back to thier younger days... they, I , We, could have been in this same place where you are today.When they were teenagers in school my worst nightmare was to have something of this magnitude happen to them. We cannot control what God has prepared for us. We can accept "although difficult" and leave our beliefs to him. He who has a greater power and plan for our children. I am sure that Taylor has been given a greater plan than what any of us here on earth could have imagined. She is an angel. Accept that, with all of your being. Know that! With all of your heart. A young women with everything she has accomplished and provided to the rest of us as a learning. Keep this dear to your heart. She has taught, the right way in God's eyes. He smiles and so should you. Taylor will never be forgotten and "Gods" teachings are what everyone here has read about Taylor... God's and Taylor's will make the world a better place in the future. I do not know you or your family nor did I know Taylor, from what I have read...she is surely in Heaven working for our Lord to make this world a better place. God Bless You All.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Taylor was always a great person to me. Although I wasn't as close to her as other people, I tried my best to be one of her friends. From making a commercial about basketball, to stealing candy from her at a football banquete (which I later made up for by getting a big bag of candy for her christmas). She was always a great person to me and all others, she will never be forgotten. She's watching all of us from a better place, and will be an angle for all of us. She never gave up ever. I will never forget her and all she has done.

Go to sleep, my little one, close your eyes for day is done, no more tears in darkness weep, close you eyes and go to sleep
Go to sleep and find your dreams, golden mountains and silver streams, mounds of emeralds and diamond rings,
Cinderella's, princes, Kings and Queens.
Dream of anything that you like,
Live a fanatasy, in the night, Go to sleep, my little one
close your eyes for day is done.
Go to sleep, my little one,
Close your eyes, for day is done,
No more tears in darkness weep,
close your tiny eyes, and Go to Sleep.

To the Seitzinger family, Troy, Tammi, Talon, I am so sorry for your lost. I work at the hospital(as a security guard) where Taylor was. I have gotten to know the family a little and I can tell she was a beautiful young woman. All the Love that surrounded her was amazing. I could tell she was a beautiful young and happy woman. She is so caring and energetic, I wish all young people could be like her. She has touched my life even though I have never met her. As for being a gift of life, see was the greatest gift of all. You all will be in my prayers always. And remember she may not be here in body, but she is still here in spirit. May God bless you all and your and your Loving Angel.
March 28, 2009
Dear Seitzinger Family, I never had the pleasure to know your daughter very well. However, I remember playing against her in soccer; she left an impression though with her brilliant talent. Remember to never to give up, because you have the gift to keep Taylor's memory with us. My prayers are with you.
As a fellow soccer player in the berks league my sympathy and support goes out to the HAHS girls soccer team. The strength and pride you girls are showing its a true tribute to the kind of person Taylor was. I applaud you. Never forget you have a community of support, even better I'm sure there is an angel wearing a #7 red & white jersey cheering you on...

As I sit here night after night reading and understanding what kind of person Taylor was I keep wondering to myself why...why would God take such a wonderful, genuine, beautiful and intelligent girl from us? I sit here thinking what if that was my child? How would I even handle it? All these answers can only be known by the higher up so today I am praying for Taylor and her family hoping they can find the strength to get through this nightmare and hopefully each day it will start to get easier and easier. We know that all her accomplishments will never be forgotten and will live on forever. I think one of her best qualities was that she didn't judge anyone and that is a great feat for someone as young as her. Troy and Tammy you did a wonderful job and you should be so proud! God Bless!

To the Seitzinger family,
I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of what seems to be one of the kindest and most genuine people ever. I only knew her as a young child but from what I have read in these many, many pages of heartfelt entries, she was a beautiful person both inside and out. I wish that there was something more that I could say or do to make this an easier time for all of you. Stay strong, and remember all of the positive things that came from her life. I love you all and I'm so very sorry for your loss!!!

Dear Taylor's family and friends,
I did not know Taylor, however I had the profound honor to transport her gifts of life to Hershey Medical Center. This was a first for me. At the time I was driving to Hershey I did not know the person who these gifts were from. It was not until the next day that I read the story in the Eagle. I have been touched by this experience. I know 1st hand what it is like to lose a child. My son passed away in 2001 he was 3yrs old. He passed under very different circumstances, however I understand and live with losing a child everyday. I can tell you that it is a hard road to try and piece your lives back together and to move on. It does happen and you will always have Taylor right next to you as I have my son next to me. Thank you for allowing to share my story with all of you.

RIP Tay
March 25, 2009
I am a senior at HAHS. I also was a friend of Taylor's. Every morning I walk into school and open my locker, looking to the right at her empty locker and it breaks my heart. We used to joke around about how we were "locker buddies." I know she should be there still. She was an inspiration to so many and her passing taught so many lessons. We still have so much to learn from her. She is and will continue to be greatly missed. She will never be forgotten. I love you, Taylor. RIP.

U do not know me.. but i knew Taylor. I went to Upper Bern with her and while i was there she was so sweet to me..she always made my day a little better and i was thankful to have her..while i was at that school i was bullied but she was so sweet to me and sometimes even stuck up for me. I am SO very sorry for what happened to Taylor and i will be praying for your family. I know it must be hard for u but i just needed to tell u how sweet she was to me and i was thankful to have her..i ended up leaving that school but i have always remembered her..two members of my family work at the school district and one of my siblings went there and many of my cousins went and go there..one of my cousins was a friend of taylors and my ex boyfriend was a good friend of hers as well...i know that they miss her. They used to talk about Taylor and they would NEVER EVER have a single negative thing to say about her they always said that she was sweet and caring and that she was a great person, friend, and student one of them even said that they looked up to her for the fact that she worked so hard in school and that she seemed to always keep a smile on her face EVEN when something was bothering her.

Taylor always seemed like such a nice person, smart, and of course very athletic. She did so much for our school and was just an overall nice person.She had so many friends and people who cared about her.She was a very well liked person.I wish there was something to say that could help the pain, but there just isn't/ I am so sorry for your loss.

Taylor, a fun, energetic little blonde-haired girl cheering at the football game. She cheered with my daughter, Emily, and, Tammy, you and I co-lead the cheering squad. Taylor stands out to me from that group of girls as she was always cheering loudly and having fun! We moved away when Taylor was in 6th grade, so I didn't get to see her grow up, but what I've read here - she was an amazing young lady. Tammy and Troy, you should be so proud of your little girl and the special life that she lived. I have been praying for your whole family and the community as it seems everyone knew her or at least knew of her. Tammy, if/when you're able, I'd love to connect again. May God surround you with His love and hold you close in His arms.

Honestly, i don't know what to say. My condolences go out to all of you....Tammy, Frank, Troy, Talon and the whole Seitzinger family. You don't know how my thoughts and those of so many people are with you. We all want to reach out and ease the pain but don't know how. You should be commended at how well you raised an outstanding and amazing daughter. Please stay strong.

I am writing on behalf of all the school bus drivers for the Hamburg District. Although some of us barely knew her, or only knew her from our own children, we all were effected by her tragic loss. She was such an outstanding and amazing young woman that everyone looked up to. She will be remembered and missed forever. She will watch over us all and be your guardian angel. God bless each of you.

My deepest sympathy to your family. Your daughter was like a sister to my daughter (Tyler Frantz). It will be so hard not yell "T-N-T" at soccer games. It is all so very sad. I am heartbroken. Your daughter was a lovely young lady and I am so very glad she was a true friend to Tyler. Tyler's heart will be forever touched with your daughter's memories as will be mine. With many tears,
Tyler's Mom

In memory of a remarkable young woman: Smile when you think of her because she represented everything positive and happy!
If I should ever leave you whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were beside you there. (I'd come- I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let the thought of me Be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have.... Life was so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still To do - so many things to say to you.... Remember that I did not fear... It was just leaving you that was so hard to face... We can not see beyond... But this I know: I loved you so - in heaven and here with you.

To the family of Talyor and everyone else that has been touched by her-Although we have no answers to why so sudden, we still ponder to think. We come up with the same answers. She was an inspiration to MANY. She had the vibrance to live each day to her absolute potential. As a health care provider at The Reading Hospital I see tragic situations daily. Never have I seen so many people stick together and root for survival as I have during this time. Please know that Taylor has given something in this world that many people will never be able to provide. As Taylor had a will to live, she has know given others the will to live. Taylor has given the ultimate gift of LIFE.

To a Wonderful Family,
Tammy you and I only knew each other through family and God Bless You for you keeping in touch with my parents. The loss of Taylor has struck a cord with me as I am sure it has with other parents of teenagers--we preach, we watch, we try to be cool, and then we pray. Tammy you and I are several cousins removed, but the one thing i know we have in common is teenage children. It's not easy raising them. But the one thing we have is unconditional love and that is what we need to keep us going. Everything I read, is that Taylor was a great athlete and a great person--don't ever let that go!!!
Whatever you need to carry her memory you do it --because the rest of us don't really have a clue. All I can say is that I am so so sorry. My heart reaches out to your family and my thoughts and prayers will be with you all

We met Taylors Grandmother in the ICU at Reading Hospital while my son was on the same floor; she expressed how wonderful her granddaughter was to her, as she cried. Please understand our family is thinking of all of you and we hope on time will heal the extreme pain your going through now. Continue to remember all the wonderful times you had with Taylor, She was a true inspiration to everyone, especially by our family that only knew here for a few days. She had an extremely large outpour of family and friends in the waiting room a true inspiration to her family of the love and support everyone continued to provide.
Love to all of you at this time...God speed Taylor...We will never forget you dear.

To our beautiful niece and cousin, Taylor Nicole. In just 18 short years you've inspired and touched the lives of literally thousands of people. We're not sure if you ever fully realized how many people knew and loved you. And even those who didn't know you still mourn your loss. The outpouring of kindness and love towards you and your family has been awesome. From soccer to softball to even gymnastics teams dedicating their perfomances to you - YOU ARE LOVED!!! We will never forget your beautiful smile, outgoing personality, and dynamic athletic ability. We can only hope to achieve in our lives what only took you 18 years to do. We love you Taylor and will never, ever forget you! We will do whatever we can to take care of your family until you meet again. Troy, Talon & Tammy - we are here for you always. Please don't ever forget that.

To Tammy, Troy and all of Taylor's family, although I never met her personally, I can't help but be amazed at how many lives she touched in her short life. Although it's hard to understand why such a vibrant young woman can be taken too soon, I guess it is not for us to question the power of "the man above". May you all find some bit of comfort from the outpouring of love and friendship you receive. My thoughts and prayers are with every one of you at this most difficult time.
