– Starla TaylorOh, how I miss you, my skenney! 21 years later, and my heart still looks for you wherever I go. Thank you for still sending me those big brother nudges along the way and for still loving me so well and watching out for me and my babies.

– starlaMy baby girl is writing a paper for her college class right now, telling all about you and the difference you made in this world and in her Mommy’s life. My baby boy looks so much like you, and is just as mischievous!
It’s been almost 25 years now without your laugh and big bear hugs, but you are still such a part of my everyday existence that they feel they know you.
Oh God, how I miss you Bubby! I love you so very very much.
