Hey, Taylor, I'm a friend of your dad's mom (Grandma Dutton?). Martha and I have known each other longer than either of us care to remember. I've known your dad since he was a little squirt. I will try to think of some good stories to tell you about him. If I can't remember any, I'll make up some. You hang in there, darling girl. Attitude is everything! And, your upbeat attitude can only make you stronger. I'm praying for you and thinking positive thoughts. With love, Karo. NOW THAT'S A STORY: My name is Carolee but your dad couldn't say it when he was little, so he called me Karo.
I am so sorry that you're back in the hospital and having bad headaches, honey. I know this is keeping you from doing the fun things you like and want to do, and I hope you will soon be home again and feeling better. I know that your doctors will soon find out what is causing the headaches so that they can come up with the right medication for you. I hope the fundraising activities are growing each day to help Mom and Dad with your medical expenses and I know you are aware that many people are thinking about you, sending you best wishes, and making whatever contribution they can afford to the Taylor Hay Fund. Will call you tonight and see how you're feeling, okay? Loved the picture of you and Lauren wearing your masks. Are you two planning to hold up a bank any time soon? Much love, Granma
I think you and your friend look cute as "bandits." Hope your headaches are better and that you will be home soon. I think your cat misses you. I see her out each morning doing her hunting while I am cleaning corrals. She looks lonesome. Love, Mary Alice Mallen
Hi Taylor! My name is Vonya and I am your Grandpa's cousin. Maybe he told you he was a member of our wedding almost 48 years ago. My husband, Buzzie, and I live in CT with our adorable dog (part toy poodle and part Maltese) whose name is Molly. Peggy has been sending us updates to keep us informed of your progress and we just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and that you're in our prayers. We send our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Hi Taylor! I'm so glad the event pictures are up! Tell your Dad that when I saw his picture, I thought he was my Grandpa Von Wolff! (Both handsome men, I assure you.) I'm sorry that nasty headache is still with you. One of the sweet girls here in FL is making you a special gift. She made one for me because of MY headaches, and I'll bring one to you when I come. I can't wait to see you! Love, Aunt JoAnna
Taylor, We are missing you in school this week. The field trips were fun. The weather was beautiful when we went to the Cabrillo National Monument. We saw a submarine coming in when we got there. It was cool!!! We had a tour with a volunteer ranger and then we got to see a video on the tidepools. We ate lunch in a beautiful area where we saw many squirrels. After lunch we walked up to the lighthouse and walked on some trails. Our group saw a sealion playing in the waves. Today we went to the Ramona Theater to see the production of "Narnia". It was fabulous. I thought of you a lot and knew you would enjoy being there. The singing and the acting were really good. I was rellyn proud of the students from Ramona Community School. You would have been a great addition to the cast. Student Council had it's jog-a-thon/jumprope-a-thon today at lunch--not too many students participated. Disappointing---but fun for those who participated. Sorry to hear of your headaches and your impaired immune system. I hope you build your system back up very soon. We miss you at school. It is so important that you stay in a place to prevent you from getting the germs. Many students in our class have gotten the flu lately. You do not need to get the flu. It feels so yucky!!!!! We miss you, but we know that you need to juswt get better. Hang in there. We love you. Always, Mrs. Crossett
hey tay i forgot ur email so can u please send me a email so i can send u the pictures from the field trip
Hey Taylor! I live in Fl, so I'm pretty far away, but if I could, I would come spend a whole WEEK with you so you wouldn't be bored! :D You're awesome! --A friend of your Cousin G's <3
Taylor, You don't know me but, I am David Mattlin's aunt. I met your mom when she was about your age and she came to Nothern California to see her dad. In your pictures on your journal you look just like your mom did at your age. My prayers are with you and hope that your headaches go away soon. Charlotte Hayes
Hi Taylor, Grandma Dutton here. I'm so excited to see that the photo section is now up. I read your journal so know your still in the hospital. You and Lauren look really cute in your masks and hats. Hope today is better, love you.
I can't believe it's less than two weeks before I get to see you! I'm so sorry your head hurts. Some day we'll all look back on this and it will only be a memory, but it doesn't make it easier right now, does it? I love you! Aunt JoAnna
Hi Taylor, Your Aunt JoAnna is one of my closest friends out here in Florida so I've heard all about you! You are definitely in my prayers and I am so thankful to the Lord that your cancer is responding so well to the treatments you are getting. She said you're not feeling too great right now, though, so I hope you start feeling stronger and better quickly. Beth Anne Liebert
Hi Taylor, I missed you at school on Tuesday since I was off that day. I am sorry that you are having such bad headaches and are in the hospital. I saw a picture of you doing the play, and you looked really good in your wig. ( I read about that in your journal) I would not have known otherwise. You are always in in my thoughts and prayers. I hope to see you next week! Love, Mrs. Meng

Hey Taylor! This is Rachel, a friend of the Welshes. I just wanted to say hi and that i hope your headache gets better soon.
Hey Miss Tay, I hope you packed Blokus and some other fun games that we can play while you are in the "pokey". I am sure the doctors will find a way to help your headaches very soon. Malachi had his stitches removed yesterday and you should have heard the noises he was making! He sounded like a hound dawg trying to sing opera underwater. He's such a bad patient (unlike you!). Love, Aisling
Hi Honey, sorry to read that your back in the hospital but if they can help you get some relief from the headaches it will be worth it. I sure hope you and your Mom got a good nights rest because it can be a noisy place huh? I love you, Grandma Dutton
Hey there Taylor! Hope those headaches go away real soon! We've been praying for Y'all! -Hallee Morgan
Hi Taylor! I read Mom's update last night. I'm so sorry about the headaches! Those are no fun at all. I hope they figure things out and that you'll feel better soon. You are loved! - Aunt JoAnna

Hi Taylor - I hope that today is a good day for you. I am glad that you were able to go to Sea World with us. Now that we got your membership back in order, we can go again. You are a big help to me when you go places with us because you help me take care of Clayton and I so appreciate any help I can get!! Come see the kitty when you can -- he's getting fat and sassy. Sending lots of love and prayers your way -- MARNA
Hello, Taylor! Praying for you today, sweetheart. The girls and I went to the mall and now we're staying out of the heat. Hope you're feeling better! Love, Aunt JoAnna
Hi, honey. I am glad that you are feeling a bit better and that you are enjoying wearing your wig and cute hats. Did you have fun at SeaWorld with Clayton and his mom? Tell me all about it when you have time! Love, Granma
Hi Taylor! I hope you had a restful day yesterday. I stayed in my jammies almost all day! Sometimes, we just need a vacation from life, don't we? Tyler's leaving for Mexico on Friday so we're trying to get him ready for his trip. His youth group is taking a team to help the missionaries there as well as do Bible stories and puppet shows for children at an orphanage. He'll be gone for two weeks, so I'll be in California with YOU when he comes home. :-D Love, Aunt JoAnna

Hi Taylor, Hope you are feeling better...you know bald is beautiful...I bet you look adorable...love the wig on your dad...cute Mark...but looks better on you. Randy is finally getting fuzzy on his head...we shaved his head Christmas Day...he isn't in remission yet as they found another spot but the original lymphnodes are clear. He is feeling better everyday as you will too. Take time to rest, it is very important...Hope you have a great weekend. (Happy Birthday to your mom) Love, Virginia
Hi Taylor! I was at a home school convention all weekend, so I didn't get to post messages to you! I'm so thankful for answered prayer, that your blood count was high enough to proceed with the chemo. I'm sorry you felt so badly and hope you're feeling better now! Please give your Mom a big birthday hug from us, all right? I love you! Aunt JoAnna
Dear Tay Hay, Thinking of you (as always) and sending hugs to you and your family. Love, Robin
Hi Taylor, Hope your feeling ok after your Chemo. on Friday. I know it had to be a long, long day for you and your Mom. One more Chemo. treatment behind you, Yeah! Take care, remember to rest as much as you can. Love you honey, Grandma Dutton
hi taylor its me kelsey cortes my email is crazydancer@cox.net if u wanna talk just send anything love kelsey cortes
Dear Taylor - I never would have known about you except for the fact that I have saved Thunder Dancer's Dream Horse ad on my computer, and when I was looking at his ad again tonight I clicked on the link to your family's web site. The website home page led me here, and our shared love of horses led me to your guestbook and the opportunity to tell you that my family and I will be keeping you in our prayers. I don't believe anything in life is a coincidence. I believe all things are woven together in an interesting tangle of threads that will come together and be revealed as a beautiful tapestry that we'll be able to see and appreciate in its entirety one day. I am an adult with a grown daughter and two grandchildren. Although I, myself, have not had cancer, several members of my family have. My oldest sister just had extensive cancer surgery on Wednesday, and although I can't even begin to say I know what you or your family are going through, I can appreciate the fact that at times it must be sad, frightening, exhausting and more. I just wanted you to know that there are people out here who will be thinking of you and praying for you as well as for all those who love you and are caring for you. I appreciate your generosity and courage in giving up your hair to help someone else. That was a wonderful gesture, and I am sure you will have made a huge difference in someone else's life. And your short hair is VERY cute! Praying blessings and healing for you and yours ~ Elizabeth Bailey
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I am so sorry I missed the lunch run on Friday. I didn't see your Mom's text message on my cell phone until today. Oye vey. I hope you didn't have to eat McDonalds or hospital food! Have a great weekend, Aisling

Taylor - It was great chatting with you and your Mom today. We have some fundraiser ideas for a benefit concert in the works for August and will continue to move forward on that. Congrats on your math scores! So brilliant... Love, Carrie, Mark and Jack
Hey Taylor, hope things go good for you tomorrow and if everything is where it should be you'll be able to have your Chemo. If not, it will be in time and you will handle it the way you always do. My heart burst with pride for you, I love you very much, Grandma Dutton
Taylor: I'm glad you liked your Hannah Montana CD and notebook. Your thank you card is very much appreciated. I have it on my refrigerator along with my other "treasures". I hope today was a good day for you. We went on another great trail ride today with Gloria and Rosie. Amigo still wants to go very fast but he's getting better. It's all that endurance riding he did before I got him. Hope you have a good weekend. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Yvonne
Taylor, I am impressed at how brave and strong you are. My best wishes are with you. get well soon. Friend from HP
Hi Taylor. I see you are trying to beat me on the Kudzu reviews for your fundraiser. I think this is one game that I am going to try hard to beat you! I am running out of things to review. Hope things go well on Friday. I will try to come up during lunch time and see how treatment is going. Will talk to you and your mom later. Aisling
Hi Buggy! I'm sorry you couldn't go to school today even though you were feeling good, but we have to make sure you're not around anyone sick, so that's the way it goes. I'm very proud of you for getting your work to do at home and for your fabulous score on your math MAP testing. So impressive since you've missed so much school! Your other score wasn't too shabby either. I don't know how you manage to do it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll go ahead with your chemo tomorrow, even though we'll be missing Lauren. I know you're tired of waiting too, but we don't want you to get sick. I love you and am very, very proud of you. I love you bunches! Mom
Dear Taylor, My name is Madison and I go to RCS. I am in the 5th grade in the home study program. I want you to know that I am praying for you and I think you are very brave. My whole class is praying that you get better real soon. You did such a good job in the Jungle Book play. I can't wait to see you at school. From Madison Peila
