Hi Taylor, We haven't met but I am your aunt. I am Chuck Mattlin's wife and we live in Fresno. We have been forwarded every report on you from the start by Chuck's mom. Please know that we are praying for you daily. Your courage and positive attitude has been an inspiration to me. Sometime life seems so unfair, but there is a purpose to everything, both good and bad. Your illness has had a wide-spread effect on many lives. You just keep that pretty little chin up.I feel like I know you and I am grateful to you Taylor for just being who you are. Love and prayers, Jan Mattlin
First of all, you are strong, beautiful and you have loving parents and a very good friend - God. I'm praying for you Taylor - You will need to hang in there and fight this thing. You're an inspiration to me and I know to others. Stay the sweet person you are and be brave. Your new friend, Pam Arivett - HP
Hi Taylor! Lunch time here in Florida, and I bet you're just finishing breakfast. I hope your appetite is good. Uncle John's sure is! ;-) We're hoping for our usual afternoon rains to begin as it sure is dry out here. Kelly has a softball game tonight (Go Punishers!) and tomorrow Glenna has Water Night at church. Being busy helps the time go by faster, don't you think? Lots of love, Aunt JoAnna
Hi, Taylor: We will be thinking of you lots today as you spend the day getting the new treatments. You are so brave and quite an inspiration to us all. Not to mention the fact that you can beat everyone at Blockus! Take care - lots of hugs, Gary & Sylvia (and Jake) :)
Hey Taylor~ It has been a long time since I last saw you. Your web page is great and your pictures are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your experience with others, it is truely inspirational. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes always~ Kaeti, Gage & Barlog!!! :)
Good morning darling Taylor. Hoping for a good day for you today. I love you, Grandma Dutton
Hey Tay! We are wishing you mucho bueno suerte manana! Maybe we will see this Saturday> xoxox, Ash and Mali
Hi Taylor: Heard you wern't feelling too well yesterday. I am so sorry. Hope it got better and that you were able to continue with your chemo on schedule. Our weather has been warm and nice-tho windy-this Spring. Hope the sunshine continues. Carl is flying in from Oregon tomorrow. It has been really cold there all Spring, so he is looking forward to coming home here. I am not sure where home is any more as I feel equally at home in Oregon and here. Will see you on the 19th if the Lord sees fit that I get to California. Carl leaves on the 14th again, and then I will go to San Bernadino to my friend Ann's on Friday the 16th. when she returns to work on the 19th, I will drive down to you. Your Mommy needs to tell me which motel is closest to you tho, so I can make a reservation for that night. Blessings from the angels, from God, and from us to you. Hugs, Jackie
Hi Taylor, Glad to hear you made it home this weekend and were able to go to Clayton's Birthday Party! I definitely will be at the Fundraiser on the 19th with Robin. You are doing great and I suggest you just think of these little events as bumps in the road to recovery! Hugs and Love, Brenda T.
Hi Taylor. Ross Anderson from your Dad's work. I just got the invite for the fund raiser and I am looking forward to attending. I was also sure to pass this along to my daughter Alexis and my son Ryan as well as other friends and family. Great web page by the way and your journal entries are great! Take care. Ross
Taylor, My signature was omitted from my message about your hospital pictures and a note for your mom. Just wanted you both to know I am thinking about you and you are in my prayers. Jan Milano
Hi Taylor, Thank you for posting the pictures of you in the hospital in your journal. We can read about your experiences, yet seeing the pictures makes it so much real for others to know what you are going through. It is hard to see anyone in the hospital, especially a young girl who has been so active. You are a brave girl, but more importantly a special girl to share this with all of us. I know it will help others in your situation, young or old. You are a role model for many! Your spirits sound high: keep them up for yourself and for all those you touch! FOR DEBBIE: YOU ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB TAKING CARE AND TAKING CHARGE OF TAYLOR'S WELL BEING AND HEALTH. I HAVE LEARNED THAT WE NEED TO BE SOOOOOO PRO ACTIVE WITH OUR OWN HEALTH CARE. HOORAY FOR YOU AS HER MOM!!!!
Hi Taylor, Mom and Dad - looking forward to seeing you at the Fund Raiser in 2 weeks... God Speed! Dirk
Hi Taylor! In a little more than a month, I'll be seeing you! I can't wait. I just wish I could bring your cousins with me. I love you! Aunt JoAnna
Taylor - We are so glad that you were able to make it to Clayton's birthday party. Hopefully you didn't wear yourself out on the inflatable jumpy/slide thing. You and your mom and dad are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We are going to try to go to the event at Callahan's but we'll probably see you before then (we are just across the street after all....) Stay strong. JOHN, MARNA & CLAYTON
Hi Taylor! Im glad to hear you are back home! If it is ok with you, I would like to stop by sometime this week for a quick visit. I am so very proud of you... Continue to be the strong, brave little girl that you are. You are loved by many! See you soon! Denise (& Molly too!)
Hi Taylor: How are you? We are praying for you every night. I had such a great time when we came to visit a while back, especially driving the golf cart!! It was a sad day today. We had to put Sassy out to pasture. It was so sad, I had a hard time getting to sleep last night thinking about it. Well I hope to see you soon. Love Hauna
Hello, Taylor! You look so pretty, surrounded by pink! That's a great color for you, know that? So happy to see that you're still smiling. :-D I love you! Aunt JoAnna PS I can't wait to tell you some stories about your Dad, stories that only his little sister would know! {hee hee}
Hey Tay! I had fun watching "Cats" with you yesterday, even if it was at your favorite 3 Star Hotel. You are right, the Magician cat was pretty cool. I liked Rum Tum Tugger. Now we will have to read "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" together. Love ya, Ash
Hey Taylor - Received your latest update from your grandma and was sorry to hear you had to go back to the hospital but I KNOW you will be home soon and continue your journey to recovery. You are an absolute delight and I love your pictures on the website. What a joy you are. I want you to know that you have a big fan club and we are all looking for the day that you can get back to the norm and grow up to do what you love best. And you will. I see big things for you little one. Take care and I will chat soon Jackie ( Grandmas step daughter ) xoxoxoxox
Hey, Taylor!! Hope you're doing better. If there's anyone who can get through this, it will be you. Stay strong and I hope to see you on May 19th.... Aloha Nui Loa, Dr. Joe
Hi Taylor! Thank you for reminding me to give blood again. I was a regular donor (every three months or so) but haven't been since school started. Hope you were able to make it to the party! Love, Aunt JoAnna
Well shoot, sure wasn't happy to hear that your back in the hospital but thankful that your Mom and Dad are on top of things and get results as soon as they can. Hope you got to go to the birthday party and glad you are feeling better. Love you so very much, Grandma Dutton
Hi Taylor: I just read your latest entry and I'm sorry to hear that you're back at Children's again. Hopefully you won't have to stay too long and will be back home again real soon. I also saw that the time and date are set for your fundraiser and I'm looking forward to seeing you there. Keep that smile on your face. I'll see you at the fundraiser. Yvonne (they won't let horses in or Amigo would be there too.)

Hi Taylor. This is Hope in Florence, Oregon. I'm your grandma Nicole's friend and met you when you were in Florence for grampa Jerry's memorial. What a beautiful happy young woman you are. Because of who you are and your inside beauty, you have attracted a loving circle to surround you with hope, comfort and joy. I know this circle will keep you strong. Please know that you are in my thoughts.
Hi Taylor, I am Anastasia's and Grigory's mom. I am so happy to hear that your chemo is working!!!That's great news. You and your mom are being so strong and positive. You go ladies! I wanted to let you know that you have been in our prayers every day and we will continue to pray for you till you are all better. I hope you enjoyed the marine lab trip, Grigory loved it. Blessings to you and your family, Lena
Good morning Taylor, just checking in to say hi and I hope you are having a good day. Grandpa and I have been out planting seeds in our garden. Hopefully, the frost is over and spring is really, really here. Hurley, the J.R. is snoring at my feet and JP is outside chasing the ravens. Yesterday we saw 6 javelina's in the lower pasture. They look like wart hogs, first we have seen in a long time. love you, grandma dutton
Just wanted to stop in and let you know we are praying for you! Of course, with all these people commenting I guess you already knew that...:D You're doing great! You're a huge inspiration! Luv ya!!! <3<3<3
Hi Taylor, Floyd and I are coming to California on Sat. May 3. Clayton's birthday and to see YOU are our GOALS! Love you and keep that beautiful smile. Sally and Floyd
Dear Taylor, I am Anastasia Heaton's aunt (Saffron in Jungle book). I would like you to know that we are praying for you. You are a brave girl and we are praying for your complete and total healing. Please know that we care and are lifting you up to God every single day. Hope you are feeling good on this first day of May. Sincerely, Karen Ryan
my friend from your dance center gillian sent me this site and i think you will make it through and i would love to talk to you in person i would like to talk to you face to face
Hi, Taylor Just a short note to let you know you're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a good weekend. Bonita
Dear Taylor, I am Mary Alice Mallen, across the fence in back of your house. We did not know that you were sick until about a week ago. Talked with your Mom last evening when she helped us get a horse under control. Nice to hear that you have two prayer quilts. I had been wondering if you would like one and then found out you already have two. I work on prayer quilts with Ramona Lutheran. What a neat idea to have some that are not tied and have your friends tie and pray as they come to see you. We are praying for you each and every day. Pat and Mary Alice Mallen
Taylor! I haven't been able to post for some reason (I blame my internet connection). I've been reading your journals every day and the emails from your Mom . . .we are all praising God here for the positive reports! We're all smiling! Have fun with your Grandma; I can't wait to give you a hug in person, too! Love, Aunt JoAnna
Well Taylor, sounds like you had a good time on your field trip, I bet you were tired when you got home, I know I would be. Have a great time with your Grandma this week and I know you will. New Mexico is thinking of you and how strong you are. Talk to you soon, love Grandma Dutton
Happy Day baby! I can't believe that your PET scan showed that there are NO MORE active nodes! Woohoo! Now we just have to protect the rest of your cells and make sure there are no more baby cancer cells lurking. No sweat, right? I can't believe how brave you are and how wonderful your attitude is. You are truly an inspiration to so many people. I'm so glad you had fun on your field trip and learned all about marine life. I wish I could have gone with you. And now tomorrow we get to go pick up grandma. That should be fun. Keep your chin up and keep fighting, Buggy. You're winning this battle! I love you! Mom Mom...(your Mom took Musahda to Sport Horse Championship and made me proud there too!)
