in response to kendra  / Shaci Tillman (friend of the family )

you no my parents go out and have they deserve it every parent should go out! so your family has no rite to say that jewel should have been there. i'm 15 and encourage my parents to go out. not so that i can party but so that they have some alone time.  you need to just leave them alone and stay away from jewel and the rest of the family! i still don't understand why he did it i babysit every weekend and my top priority is o make sure the babies are safe. i babysit an 8 month old and a 2 yr old and never put them on the floor to sleep and no1 comes over at all!!!!!  he diserves wat he got!!!!!!!!!!

You were and still are a little angel  / Brandi Riles (**stranger**)
I'm sickened by the child abuse reports i see an hear about in the media , yet there is still 95% of child abuse cases UNREPORTED.
Taegen is very loved and missed by even those whom she doesn't even know.  Every website i go to about child abuse, Taegen's name is ALWAYS there .  I am here to send my condolences and symphany to the McKinney family .  Sorry for your loss and we all know that Taegen is always a little angel .

May you fly high little butterfly  / Kristi (stranger)
I pray each and everyday for children that are so hopeless and can not fight for themselves. I pray one day God will destroy every person whom hurts children physically, mentally, and emotionally. I pray for this family who lost their little angel. May God bless you and keep you safe! I can not imagine how life has been for this family without their little angel Taegen. My heart and prayers are with you now and forever, may you know this little girl has touched my heart and soul deeply. I heard the quote once before that your loved one may not be with you now, but cherish the time you had with her, for those times and memories will last forever! Thanks for sharing your little girls life with me. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Your friend through prayer,
Kristi Close

Prayers / Geneva Griego (Friend)
The time is coming soon for the trial of the man that hurt you. We need for you to watch over your mommy and help her through this hard time for her. We all know that God will make him pay for hurting you but your mommy and daddy need for the courts to make him pay for all that happen to you so that they can have another step towards healing. I went with them last time and could not take my eyes off of him and all the people that stood behind that monster. Yes baby monsters are real and I am so sorry that you had to meet one. Please watch over your mommy for we can not be with her all the time like you. Miss you soooo much. Love Geneva Close

Taegen is God's Angel  / Mariela

My heart is broken to hear such evil can been done to God's little angels. I know Taegen is with God and  that brings peace to my heart. I have been praying for little ones that do not deserve this and that God's hand is with them. May God give your family peace grace and Love.  God Bless You

Innocence / Dr Ronald Shultz (none)
It is sad to hear of the slaying of such an innocent child.  If there is no justice in this life there will be in the next.  Take comfort in knowing that this dear child is in the arms of Jesus and safe and happy forevermore.  Blessings and peace be unto you! Close

Butterfly Kisses from Heaven  / Helen Davidson (stranger.. loving all the angels , victims of child abuse )
Nothing anyone can say will make any of what has happened any easier... Not a day will go by that you won't think about it at some point... 
But, Taegen is with all of you every second of every day... and as my best friend told me just 2 weeks before he died... 
"When I am gone and a butterfly brushes past you... it is me kissing you from heaven ... as I am never going to be far away... Remember I am always with you, and I will always be watching over you and loving you."  When he past on I found comfort in the Butterflies... 

Rest In Peace Taegen..... beautiful baby girl.... Close

No words  / Heather Ramirez (stranger)
There are no words I can say that can help in any way.  I just want the family to know I recieved a forward in my inbox and I have signed the petition and I will forward it along as well. I know Her tragic story has reached Texas as well as Nebraska. I believe she did not die in vain, you have done the right thing and I am believing God will find a way to serve justice to the hateful people who would hurt children in this way. Have faith and remain strong. You were wondreful grandparents. Close

This Should Not Have Happened  / Alison Wohlrab (Myspace Friend )
Taegen, I truly hope you are at peace.  This should never have happened to you.  You were so happy and beautiful and full of life.  What could you have possibly done to deserve that fate?  For a little girl I have never met, you sure do consume alot of my thoughts as well as fuel alot of my actions.  I have read alot of horrible things in my time but I have never been touched so deeply down to my core as the day I came across your page.  I find myself looking at pictures of you and wishing with everything that I have that I could just reach into it and bring you back to your parents and Conner.  They didn't deserve this either.  I hope that in time they may find peace in knowing that although you were taken way too soon, that they will see you again one day.  We all will.  And until then, I vow to keep fighting to change the laws.  I am so sorry it didn't come in time to save you but your legacy will live on with every child that the law in your name does save.  And by the way, thank you for visiting me last weekend.  I was really sad and for the first time this year, I saw a butterfly.  A beautiful monarch butterfly.  The minute I saw it, I felt a little better.  RIP Angel Taegen McKinney.  Everyone who knew you loved you and so do I!
