Taylor patiently waiting until mother completed the task at hand (organizing the yearly RECQuest trip to Kings Dominion), making her grand entrance smiling later that evening. That was the beginning of many entrances Taylor would make in her life -always bubbly, full of life and smiling. (Dr. Thomas ensured those pearly whites were picture perfect.) Taylor attended her brother's basketball games at Gar-Field and Freedom High School making her grand entrance with a rolling chest of fun. The fans according to Taylor looked forward to her attendance more than the game.
