Losing Taylor is heartbreaking. She worked with us for the last two years and we absolutely enjoyed every minute with her. She was a strong, smart, determined person with a ton of energy. Her smile lifted all around her. She will be forever in our thoughts and her family will be in our prayers.

I remember growing up with Taylor and she being one of my only friends that watched the Detroit Red Wings as well, I remember one time for my brothers hockey game at Joe Luis Arena we had the run of the place and made a lot of silly videos running in the hallways of the arena. Taylor was always so kind and wonderful to be around, we need more people in this world like her. Taylor will be so missed.

Truly sorry for your loss! Taylor was such a beautiful soul. We met at an architecture conference in 2019, and she and I bonded over our love of dogs and architecture. Her instant smile and welcoming nature were two things that always stood out to me when we met. Rest In Peace Taylor! Gone too soon!
