I didn't know Taylor long but what I did know was she was super sweet to me and my little sister. The earliest memory I have of her is she took me out for ice-cream when I was younger and she was super kind a sweet she had pink car seat covers which I loved and was always there if you need her. I send my prayers to her and her family in this hard time.
