She Had Just Gone On A Date When A Man Jumped Off A Parking Garage, Crushing Her

“I watched as she grew and made changes in her life; the type of changes that I wish I had dared to do when I was her age,” Laurel continued.

“She lived life with zest and always pushed herself beyond her comfort zone to lead the best life she could. Not only did she gain incredible strength over the past eight years, she surpassed her mentor.”

“I would sit in awe of her incredible bravery and fearless choices. She was only in her 20’s, but I was so excited to see what she would accomplish over the next decade of her life.”

“I don’t even know how to write this line right now, and I have erased it over and over, but it is with a heart full of incredible sadness, that I have to let you know that Taylor was met with a tragic accident on Sunday and lost her life.”

“She was just about to celebrate, as she liked to say, her “Dirty 30” and had everything planned down to the favors for her guests. She was a true event planner at heart.”

Laurel went on to say she loved Taylor like she was her own daughter and having her in the office just made her feel so much happier.

“I know Taylor touched many and she was one of the good ones. I will never understand why she had to leave this life so soon,” Laurel said.

“Taylor gave in her final moments like she always did and was an organ donor, saving multiple lives and helping many in the end like she always did in her life.”
