Hi son, just checking in with ya,how's thing's in heaven? Dad passed on June 6th 2020, on Sister & Rylan's birthday. Rylans Bobbie's son. Uncle Danny passed six day's before Dad.we miss them so much our family is forever changed your all gone away from us. Was you there to greet them into Heaven? Daddy knew he was going to be reunited with you. Can you leave us some kind sign there with you, if Jesus will allow you. Did you leave a roll of dime's in a car Kim rented for us to find?were you letting us know that Daddy and Uncle Danny were with you? That's what we thought when we found them. Can you give us some validation about that? It would put are hearts st ease knowing they are in Heaven with Jesus and you. I love you my son looking forward that one day I can also join all of you in Heaven. May you all R.I.P my loves. Love Mom.

Dear Uncle Joe, I miss you so much.It's hard on the holidays for you not to be here.But i understand that you are in a better place now.It's been hard for me without you here. I'm doing goood in school and keeping up my grades.
i wish u were here.When u died, i went crazy and i wanted to kill myself. i was going nuts! untill my dad explained that you are in a better place now and i understood. At you funeral it was the first time i had ever seen my father cry. he said that you were like a little brother to him.It kinda makes me mad when grandma breaks down but i guess its ok. I had to walk out of the house a few times today.Uncle brian and bob are doing ok. Jocie is as cute as ever. she cheers me up all the time when im here. Heather is living with sheans parents now and i never get to see her.in school i dont have a grade lower than a c! i thought it would be the right thing to do to make you proud. i still play on the computer a lot as always.Im a pretty fast typer now. You passed away for the best i guess because if you would have lived you would have been brain dead and you wouldnt remember that much.Everyone came to see you at the hospital worried. my mom kept trying and trying for the doctors to keep you. But stuff happens for a reason i guess. atleast you get to see grandpa.I nerver regretted that day i spent with you at adventureland. I was so worried about you. when i left the hospital i went home, but you were still alive. when i called my dad i told him that you werent doing well and that i was sad. then he told me that you didn't make it. i threw the keyboard to the computer and i started to punch the wall as hard as i could. you shouldve seen the holes in the wall at grandpas because there were a lot from everyone.Atleast you are in a better place and do not feel the pain anymore. i felt it was my fault that you died because i gave you those fries from mcdonalds. i blamed myself for your death. i was scared for you and i wish they wouldve tried the hear surgery. i wish they would have done more. if i ever get very sick, i will not want to go to mercy. I am shacking as i write this because i am sad. i wish you were here. Hey you little brat, have you been leaving dimes everywhere? heheh, we each found 50 cents in dimes.Brian, my moms boyfriend gets tosee his girls now. Heather never sees me anymore,Because sheans parents dont like kids. love, your fav. nephew, tanner.

are here in spirit with us we got a candle lit 4 u and grandpa i miss u so much it still seems un real i never in a million years thought god could take such a special person that is so close to me i feel like a big part of me has been ripped away and it kills me inside and i think about u every day and often wish i would wake up out of some horrible nightmare but it just keeps going and im never goin 2 wake up cause this is so damn real and it sets in more and more every day.i miss hanging out with u and talking shit to each other and i really miss pulling up 2 dads and seeing u working on your car even if u had to rig something cause u didnt have the money to fix it u were so damn handy with stuff and i wish u were here for the holidays this is the worst part about losing u is coping with your passing and u couldnt be with us last christmas and you r not here this year either i am still very angry with god for taking u away from us so soon but i know that he needs u now and we cant be selfish it will be my time someday also and i will c u again and truely know that u r safe in gods house where u r walking with him in the last home there is for all of us.i still dont quite understand why u had to go so soon but there has to be a reason cause there is a reason for every thing.well bro i got to go just remember that i love u and miss u so much and cant wait to see u again happy thanksgiving i love u
love always your lil bro bobby taylor.

Hey Brother,
I want to let you know that i miss you and love you so much
its only been 5 days but it feels like forever i wish you were standing here with me today but i can't be selfish.i will always remember all the good times we had you are not just my big brother you are my best friend i can tell you anything.im going to miss the things you do like every time you had a car you were always working on and you would always say(hey bro help me real quick)
and I hated working on cars, but you always fixed the problem I also remember when Cody was born you had a glow in your eyes that could make the saddest person smile I only wish you could have spent more time with him. Every night I talk to you before I go to bed and let you know what I am up to, so you don't worry. I remeber when you were in the hospital and you told me how proud of me you were and you were ready to do what I was doing, living a clean and sober life and rebuild some bridges and open some doors. I just wish that you'd had the chance, but once again I can't be selfish. God wanted you and I have to learn how to accept that, it will come with time. I know that you are surrounded by people you love and that love you back unconditionally, people like Grandpa Roy, Grandpa Bob, Uncle John, cousin Debbie, and one of your best friends Rick Stewart. So take care of things up there and I'll be taking care of things down here. This is not so long or good-bye forever, this is I will see you soon and we can both hang out for the rest of eternity, laughing, joking, and having fun like we always have. I know you will be watching over me making sure that I don't do anything stupid. I love you and I miss you bro and I will always remember you for the rest of my time on this earth. I will see you on the other side where once again we will ride.
With Love Your Little Bro,
Bobby

Always strive harder to be better but not to be better than someone else.
There is enough to go around in the universe for everyone. When your final day comes, you will leave this world with dignity, respect, and love. You will know that you learned the lesson you were put here to learn. You will know that you wond and that you are going to a wonderful place. (Marion Licchiello)
If you just remember the above paragraph and just learn to love and care you will see our beautiful Joseph again. Until then he is up there waiting for us to be home with him again.

Dedicated to my brother Joe Taylor
April 21, 1982-May 28, 2008
When you lose somebody special
Somebody you love so much
Just think of all the good times
The one with the special touch.
My brother was the greatest
He made me feel so loved,
And I know he is still with me
Because he's watching from above.
He was very, very special
To everyone and to me
He's my LIL brother always and forever
He always made me happy
With those beautiful eyes
And that magnificent smile
How I long to feel his touch
If only for a second
It would mean so very much
I talk to him all of the time
I just wish he would talk back
Because I need to hear his voice
That is what I miss the most
I always think of him
How he always made me laugh,
Those were the good times,
That was in the past
The past is all I have
There will never again be a future
Not in this world that I am trapped in
Be in peace LIL brother
Youre in the place we all long to be
Be good up there in heaven
I will see you shortly
Love you for all eternity
Big SIS Billie
