How the years have flown!  Taylor is our first-born grandchild and is now 26 years old.  She is the child of our eldest daughter, Mindy,  whose memorial page you can visit here.  Taylor is smart, pretty, kind, and tall-  5 foot 10 1/2 inches - and has sparkling brown eyes and a smile that will gladden your heart!  She often seems quiet and introspective, but when you least expect it, she surprises and delights you with her mature outlook, her dry wit and her fearlessness!  We are very proud of the responsible young woman she has become. 

   In high school Taylor lettered in volleyball  (you can see her in her letter jacket in one picture above).
She played with a  volley ball club as an extra-curricular activity for several years.  During her college years she coached a teen girls volleyball team.

Taylor graduated with honors in 2005 from a southeastern university with a degree in psychology. She is a member of the Tau chapter of Phi Sigma Pi, a national honors fraternity. 
She is employed as a mental health therapist for the county, and is attending graduate school to get her Masters Degree in Counseling.

Taylor's long-time boyfriend Matt surprised her with a weekend in The Bahamas!   On May 28th, 2007, while in The Bahamas, Matt asked Taylor to marry him. She said yes.

They were married on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in May 2008. 
Taylor is now attending graduate school while continuing to work full- time.
