My dearest John Taylor,Our hearts are broken that we can no longer have you here with us; but we will all be together again in God's house.Our hearts are broken that we didn't spend enough time telling you how much you mean to us; and how much you are deeply loved.Our hearts are broken that had to suffer and in pain … you carried the weight of the world at such a very young age.Our hearts are broken that you did not get to live – to have your own family – to see your children grow up – to grow old to be there for your mother, sister, and father.Our hearts are broken each time we see the crystal blue skies dotted with white clouds; the sun is bright; the birds signing and the smell of flowers and grass – that you are not here – we know you are the cause of these wonderful things … God and you … giving us comfort and love.Life is short for all … Our hearts are broken … for now … we know you are in God's house and we will all be together soon in love and peace … We love you always. Auntie Katie
So very sorry to hear of your great loss. I will be praying for you & your family. Always remember the good times ya'll shared.
John, you were one of Kaitlyn's first playmates when we moved here. I can remember sitting with your Mom in our driveways while ya'll played and we'd be screaming at all the drivers who were going too fast. I remember all the times that P.J. would call you and say "Hey, Johnny, having computer problems, can you come help me buddy?" And you would be at our doorstep in a matter of minutes. You were and always will be a special young man to so many people. I know you are wrapped in God's arms and your life is now truly beginning.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving yearsbecause you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
