Tater i miss you so much. But you know that your sissy Loves you so much. But now you can be with me every second of the day. But you can live thru me i will make sure that you can live thru my heart each and every day. You were an angel that was sent to us. But now you'll have to be our gaurdian angel. But I'll make sure to tell everyone that you are just getting use to your brand new wings of many colors just like a butterfly so to live life in the slow lane to help you keep up. Bug I love you more than all of the stars ...... Until we meet again baby......



Love your Big Sissy

My heart was saddened to hear of the loss of a small child. I can't begin to imagine what you are going but my prayers go up for you all. I have a song a friend of mine wrote I would like to share with you.



"For God's Bouquet"

God picked the sweetest rose for His bouquet. He called her home that day to brighten heaven's ray. It left us sad, alone, to think that she is gone, but heaven's sweeter now with, her new song.

1) The day was warm and bright. God looked from the light. He saw a beauty rare, none other did compare. The Lord said "That's My child, I called her from the wild. No more of earthly cares for her to bare."

2)Mom, Please don't cry for me. Soon together again we'll be. Tell Dad I'll see him too, somewhere beyond the blue. I'm not here all alone. I see the great White Throne. For God called me that day to brighten His bouquet.

3) The Sheperd called this rose, because the Sheperd knows, what's best for you and me through out eternity. I'm with happy children now. We stand on heaven's bough. With waiting arms a-new, I'll stand and wait for you.



I hope this will lift your spirits as it has others.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I have a three year old whose name is Madison. She prayed for Taylor's safe return and told me all about it. Like Taylor, my little Madi is a "Tornado" We were going out Monday to help "find Taylor 'cause she was lost" said Madi. I was brought to my knee's when I heard and held onto my little girl so tight! May God wrap his loving arms around you and hold you tight during this sorrowful time.
