Tragedy In My Dearest Friends Family

Recommended Posts

I am posting this in behalf of one of my dearest friends and a fellow member (Sadeyes) of this forum.

I received the following about a recent Tragedy in her family. Please keep her/them in your thoughts and prayers at this time and if any of you are able to help them out it will be very much appreciated. May God Bless each of you!

From my one of my dearest Friends:

"Saturday night/ Early Sunday, my nephew Jesse Taylor died at the age of 20. He would have been 21 on February 3rd.

My sister has been through breast cancer, cervical cancer and now she has to deal with the loss of her oldest child.

This is the 2nd nephew I have lost just prior to their 21st birthday and with everything my sister and the rest of my family has been through in the past 2 years, I am taking life a moment at a time which is all that I can do.

I have set up a way for people to donate to the cost of Jesse's funeral in order to help at this devastating time. Please donate what you can IF you can and please share this link with your friends in order to help our family.

If you are local to Standing Bear's you can drop it off during the hours of 10AM - 6PM Monday thru Saturday.

I had a hard blow yesterday as I thought that I would never again lose one of the younger members of our family... and it is a reminder that tomorrow is not promised... today is all we have so we must do all we can to live today, each day as if it were our last.

I am fortunate that I have NO regrets in regards to Jesse, we ALWAYS got along, we ALWAYS kept in touch and although I didn't get to see him as much as I wish I could have I talked to him on January 22nd, we laughed on the phone and I know that he is above watching over me and the rest of the family as we struggle to face him being gone.

Thank you VERY MUCH for taking time to read this, for your prayers and for your support our family greatly appreciates it.

and to make you into the person you were meant to be."

If you know Sadeyes (aka Sandi) you know she is one of the most caring and giving persons anyone could ever hope to know. Please keep our fellow forum member and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

I would like to personally Thank you for your prayers and any support any of you can offer to them at this time.

I am leaving today for my sisters for my nephews funeral.

The rest of the family will be coming in tonight with the exception of my brother Randy who will get here tomorrow morning.

I will be back on Saturday evening.

Just wanted to let everyone know where I'll be and that I won't be able to check in while I am gone.

Please keep my family in your prayers as we come together.

The online donation site will be up until February 18th if anyone would like to contribute to the cost of the funeral.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has been there for us through this difficult time.

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has sent kind words, called, came to see members of the family, and those that have made donations to the funeral for ALL that they have done during this devastating time.

For those who may not know, my nephew Jesse Taylor died at the age of 20. He would have been 21 on February 3rd. My sister has been through breast cancer, cervical cancer and now she has to deal with the loss of her oldest child.

This is the 2nd nephew I have lost just prior to their 21st birthday and 3rd nephew my family has lost at a VERY young age, with everything my sister and the rest of my family has been through in the past few years, I am taking life a moment at a time which is all that I can do.

My family has suffered a hard blow as we thought that we would never again lose one of the younger members of our family... and it is a reminder that tomorrow is not promised... today is all we have so we must do all we can to live today, each day as if it were our last.

I am not one to reach out to others for help or to ask for anything if I can get it for myself... my family are survivors so reaching out like this is difficult especially in the current economic times.

My sister (Jesse's Mother) has battled cancer twice, with everything she has been through, I am hoping somehow others assisting with this will help her through this time as she struggles with the loss of her eldest son.

Any donation, no matter how small would help, please donate what you can if you can and please share this link with your friends in order to help our family.
