I have read Taegen's story and it broke my heart.  What a beautiful little girl!!  I myself have a 16 month old little girl and can not even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose her to such injustice!  Im so sorry for the family's loss and I pray that time will heal this wound for all of you.  I know you never get over the loss of a child, you just learn to live with it.  Just know that Taegen has touched many hearts and her smile will continue to touch many more!!

Miss Taegen .. Your 2nd Anniversary  / Stephanie G. (Myspace (friend) )

Sweet Taegen .. it's been 2 years.  My how the time has passed.  We held a rally for child abuse awarness in your name shortly after the ordeal.

You touched my heart, and your Grandma inspired me to do so much more.  I'm persuing my degree in Criminal Justice, and have dedicated time to helping abused and neglected children. 

Children are a gift from God, and can be taken as quickly as they are given.  It's horribly sad that you were taken so young, but your name and your message still lives on.   There are so many people that have heard your story and have decided to make changes. 

I live on the opposite coast of your family ... seemingly pretty far away .. but not as far as you are from them .. but I think of you often .. and your family.  I pray that God gives them the strength to continue to spread the message of awareness in your name  .. and give them the strength to pass this day with as much ease as possible.

Fly high little one!

God bless you beautiful girl  / Lisa Sheldon (none)

rest in Peace little one, you were too beautiful for this world and God needed another gorgeous Angel. Sleep tight.

To your mommy and daddy I pay my respects, losing such a beautiful daughter, I am so sorry.

How anyone could hurt a child is beyond me.

I found this poem for you both God bless you

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
The death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world,
Seem so wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
And so He takes but few,
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
Still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind
knows will always be Good-by.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find

Your angel wings are one today  / Lynn Thompson (Great Aunt )

Our little green butterfly is one today

The death of Taegen has affected so many lives.

I can only imagine the pain that her parents and her brother have gone through this last year. And now today they must live this painfull day yet once again. I send my love to Cody, Jewel and Conner.

To my sister who has lost her grandchild, I wish I could hold you today, and cry with you. However, between us there is too many miles. But know that I am there with you today no matter what goes on in our lives in spirit.

To my sweet niece Candice, I know you are crying today as well, know that we are all thinking of you and we are there with you in our thoughts.

To all of you we love and  wish we were there with all of you on this painful day.

To the monster and his family that took our angel, I hope you feel the pain we feel today with the loss of your murdering son. At least you can visit him, write him, we can only visit her final resting place and remember her beautiful smile and innocence.

 

Rest in peace Sweet Butterfly  April 15, 2007 ( You a year old angle today) Happy Birthday

My Condolences To The Family.  / Jessica Parris (none)
I am sorry for your loss. Taegen is a beautiful girl. I can see how she would remind of a butterfly. She is now one of God's angels. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family! I pray that God helps you through this tough time. Close

She's Beautiful  / Willow (None)

I am having a hard time at life myself. I feel selfish now because I have attempted to take my own life when so many others want and deserve one. Teagans photos made me smile she IS beautiful and I will keep her in my heart, as a reminder that life should not be taken for granted.

God bless you and your family.
