Taya Brooke












It has been a year since God decided he wanted Taya to join him for eternity. How incredibly thankful am I that Taya knew him as her personal saviour, and friend, and when she left this earth, she joined the greatest man to ever live.


How could we have ever known that the surgery last July would take her from us here on earth? No one was ready for this to happen. Taya, you were too young, so full of life, so full of laughter, plans and parties that had not yet happened.

There were times you stood alone in your convictions. That never bothered you, you loved the Lord and you knew where you stood.





However, you were so fortunate to be surrounded by many friends that also had those convictions and loved you very much.




You were so very unique. You lived life with a passion: a passion for everything you did. When you were serious, your were passionately serious, when you were playing, you were passionately playful, it didn't matter the mood or the emotion, it was done with as much passion as you could muster.







Today your friends all wore pink in remembrance of you. And there will never be a time that we look at a Gerber Daisy without thinking of you and your love for life.





These friends along with your family( and other friends that I don't have pictures of), will always think of you when they gather for weddings, birthdays, and other celebrations.
Taya, your exit was so painful, but your life was such a joy. I could spend the evening typing "Taya" stories. Most of them begin with laughter and end with laughter.
What a joy Taya Brooke Leeder was to all who knew her.
You are missed by all.
Sandy
