Taylor Jo Doherty was an amazing and beautiful young woman. Taylor was an amazing daughter, sister,
friend,and student. Taylor's love for her and friends and family was so deep that everyone's
problems outweighed her own. She had a heart so big that she treated everyone like they mattered and
she had room in her heart for everyone.
Sadly behind Taylor's beautiful smile and amazing personality Taylor was fighting a battle within
herself mentally, a battle with depression. Although Taylor was receiving treatment for her
depression and was on medication at the time Taylor's condition only worsened. It worsened to the
point that Taylor's only means of finding the mental peace that she so longed for was to leave this
world behind.
On March 8, 2007 just one week before her 15th birthday Taylor went to school like she usually did
every morning and went about her day as normal. Later that morning Taylor left school, text messaged
all of her friends goodbye, went to a nearby field, and shot herself.
(taken from Taylor's funeral eulogy)
Her heart was so big, that when it ached, it was simply unbearable. Taylor's pain was unimaginable,
for only that would prompt her to create for us such unimaginable pain.
I think she just finally got to a point where the pain of holding on was greater than the fear of
letting go. And so she let go and she let God sweep her up in His everlasting peace
In the 14th chapter of John Jesus says:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; but not as the world gives do I give to you. Let
not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid".
I believe Taylor finally knows this peace-this peace of God surpasses all understanding.I believe
that she wishes for all of us this same peace:So let not your hearts be troubled.
God bless Taylor, and God bless us as we learn to live without her.
Happy Birthday Taylor xx
Have a lovely day bet my Franco will sing to you love to you and your family xx

Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace
I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb
To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
I send you my love
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.
It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The moment that you died
Our hearts were torn in two,
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

A PRAYER FOR TAYLOR.
WE SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
AND KNOW GOD MUST HAVE HEARD,
WE FELT THE ANSWER IN OUR HEART'S,
ALTHOUGH HE SPOKE NO WORD.
WE DIDN'T ASK FOR WEALTH OR FAME,
WE KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MIND,
WE ASKED HIM TO SEND TREASURES
OF A FAR MORE LASTING KIND.
WE ASKED THAT HE WOULD BE NEAR YOU
AT THE START OF EACH NEW DAY,
TO GRANT YOU HEALTH AND BLESSINGS
AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR WAY.
WE ASKED FOR HAPPINESS FOR YOU
IN ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL,
BUT IT WAS FOR HIS LOVING CARE,
WE PRAYED FOR MOST OF ALL
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
At the rising sun and at its going down we remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring we remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer we remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn we remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us. As we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart we remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make we remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share we remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs we remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live,
For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

such a beautiful young lady, its so hard to imagine what our loved ones feel when they decide to leave us, all i know is that they are at peace and their hearts ache no more xx
If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
