As parents, we can take comfort in the unbelievable pride we feel to have known such incredible children, they will never be forgotten and our heads will be held high every time their names are spoken. God bless you and your family. The Schnapp Family

Melissa Cusumano left a message on November 30, 2010:
Dear the Buonadonna family. I'm extremely sorry for your loss. Taylor was a very sweet,brave,strong and beautiful girl. I won't forget the time that she came to my Bat Mitzvah and a few of my middle school birthday parties. I also won't forget the time Taylor,Ashley Thompson,my friend Kelli and I had a sleepover at my house. She was so much fun and seemed so happy to be with us. She was in my homeroom in sixth grade, that's how we became friends. She was such a bubbly and friendly girl. I never once saw her in school with a frown on her face, always a cordial smile. I admire Taylor. What she went through was definately the toughest thing a girl that age could go through, and I'm so proud of her that she made it this far. The Buonadonna family and especially Taylor are in my prayers. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. E-mail me if you need anything. Love, Melissa.
Dawn Althouse left a message on November 30, 2010:
Dear Buonadonna Family, Rememberance is a golden chain, death tries to break but all in vain,. To have, to love, and then to part, is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things, but some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times when you were all together. May you be comforted in how many lives your darling Taylor touched in her short time here on earth and what a wonderful example of family you are to me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, God bless!
Sarah Dawoud left a message on November 30, 2010:
Dear Buonadonna family, Taylor was the most amazing person I have ever met. In the 5 years I have known her nobody has ever made me want to change myself but her. I never saw her without a smile on her face even with all he struggles she was going through. She never complained and I feel like he luckiest person I'm the world to have had the chance to spend time with her. Sometimes just seeing her would brighten my entire day. She was the most beautifal person I have ever met inside and out. She fought a very tough battle yet stayed true to who she really was. She was one of the best friends I ever had and probaly ever will have. She will always have a place in my heart no matter what. I will never forget her. I will miss her dearly and so will many others. She is in my prayers all the time and so are you Buonadonna family. You are all so strong for going through everything with her and supporting her and never breaking under the pressure. I send so much love out to you.

Terry Cotton left a message on November 29, 2010:
Mr and Mrs. Buonadonna, All I can start to say is that Taylor is comfortable now. She was one of the strongest people that I have ever met. I'll never forget our call 2 years ago when her cancer had come back. Her visit to Texas last summer gave hope and strength to go on. She then turned sweet 16. Her determination and spunky personality gave her strength to come to school and be a kid. I can't believe she even came , until just weeks ago. I know that she got her strength from the two of you. What awesome parents. I hope that God gives you some kind of strength now. In sympathy.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Julie Mazzoni left a message on November 29, 2010:
Dear Buonadonna Family - I had the pleasure of being in Taylor's company while chaperoning a few OVMS band activities, and I was so impressed by her positive attitude, strength, and courage. I also remember being at the OVMS 8th grade banquet when Taylor received a special award, and she was given a standing ovation by all in attendance. Her perseverance through the challenges she faced clearly touched and inspired many. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

West, Maria & family you have our sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter Taylor. God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. God Bless!
