"Taylor I know Jesus accepted you, please guide me in my daily life. God Bless you"

"Flaska family, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you"

"I have and 8 x 10 photo of Taylor in my bedroom. It's a picture of Taylor in my lap when he was young tike. One of my cherished memories of Taylor is when his mother and father allowed Taylor, when he was just a tike, to visit me in Maine for a week. My greatest hope was to have him in Carrabassett Valley. Sadly that never happened but I do have fond memories. All the best to Roxanne, Ken and Connor. Uncle Greg"

"Dear Roxanne and Family, We are so deeply saddened to hear of Taylor's passing. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. At such a difficult time as this, God promises to give you the strength you need when you lean into, and trust Him. Hugs . . . and Blessings to you and yours, Gerry, Cathy, Tina, and Cara Miserendino"

"Sorry for your loss. At least I got to see the faces and smiles from the memories from Taylor and It was pleasure finally meeting you all. If there is one thing I can offer, is advice. Friends like Taylor were so rare to find. Losing a child with so much to live for is something hard to describe how you all must fell. But Taylor was always a blast to be around, full of life all time, always smiling and fun to be around. His life is still around you. You will have so much to remember him by. So stay strong and keep the memories close to heart. Memories for ever and my prayers to your family. Peter G. Owens GPS Class of 2007"

"So sad to hear this. Friends like Taylor were so rare to find and golfing was always fun. Taylor was such full of life all the time, always smiling and fun to be around. Stay strong Family. "

"You were truly a joy to be around. You were the same genuinely great person to everyone you encountered. Your smile was infectious, your kindness was contagious, and you were such an amazing friend. We will miss you always. Love you so much buddy. "

"Melissa and I were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers."

"I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. Something a parent should not experience. May all of your good memories help you through the days ahead. Keeping your family in my prayers. With heartfelt sympathy, Rose Smith"

"DEAR KENNY, YOU HAVE MY DEAREST SYMPATHY, JB"

"With sincere sympathy"

"Your family is in my thoughts. I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. "

"Our deepest sympathies to the Flaska family. Please know that you are in our thoughts. "

"We offer our sincerest deepest sympathy."

"Thank you for showing so many of us; how to be sensitive, kind, generous of spirit and forgiving. You were always a champion of the underdog, and we will never forget the wonderful days you spent with us at Gull Lake. Your wonderful memories live on. We love you Tay."

"Our hearts are with you always!"

"sending love and happy thoughts"

"We are so sorry to hear of Taylor's passing. May the light perpetual shine upon his soul. We will always remember him from his time on South's hockey team with our son. "

"Our family's deepest sympathy to the Flaska Family for your loss."

"A few years have passed, but so vivid in our minds are the times we shared with your family and the Bulldogs. From the cold GPCR to all the great cities we traveled to for games and tournaments. From the holidays we spent together to the good times we shared at parties. We know you have a lifetime of memories with Taylor, thankfully we have some too. He was a special person. May those memories help your hearts heal."

"There are no words that I can say that will ease the pain you are experiencing. Just know that Taylor, and your family are in my prayers. "

"My heart bleeds for you!"

"So many games, so many practices, so many memories, so many smiles, so much energy - with these thoughts we will keep Taylor in our hearts. Our prayers are with you Ken, Roxanne and Connor."

"It is in times such as this that we must place all of our trust in God, to be absolutely confident that as He planned to give Taylor life, He also planned to bring him home too. God's timing is never our timing and God's plans are never our plans. God does repeatedly make promises to us -- He promises to always be with us, to cry when we cry, to be strong when we are weak, to prosper us and not to harm us and also to never waste a hurt. We may never understand such promises but we can be rest assured that if God made them they are true. Hold fast to all that you know of God. He has Taylor in His arms welcoming him home. He will also welcome each of us home in His holy timing. Home with God is God's greatest promise us all, it's where we came from and its where we all will end up. Taylor is home. He will be missed and we will grieve for years to come but we must not grieve without knowing that he is back in God's arms where each of us will be one day. Until that time we must remind ourselves everyday of God's endless promises to each of us and to lay all our hurts, pains and fears on Him as we curl up in the arms of our Holy Father who loves each of more then we are capable of knowing. God will provide our weary hearts rest if we'll just take time to curl up and give Him our sorrow and grief. "

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ken, Roxanne and Connor during this very difficult time and to all of Taylor's friends and extended family. May wonderful memories of Taylor live on in your hearts and minds. "

"May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Please now Roxanne and family our thoughts and prayers are with all of you Paul, Rosalie, Alex and Pauly Kappaz"

"Dear Ken, Roxanne and Connor, Please know that you are in my prayers. Just today, If found a photo of Taylor from Ferry. He had the ability, even at such a young age, to light up the entire room with his smile. My heart is so heavy tonight as I think about your pain and I mourn the loss of an incredible young man. My love to you. "

"I met Taylor at Miami University. He was new to the school and had a great sense of leadership, eager to make friends and develop a status with his peers. I lived across the hall and introduced him to my circle of friends. He had high ambitions and a stride in life that I've never seen before. I'm happy to have known Taylor and will always remember the way his life affected me. Cheers, mate. Rest well."

"I was shocked and saddened to read about your loss. May God give you the strength you will need."

"Our prayers and thoughts are with you. "

"Holding you close in thought and wishing you peace, courage, and loving memories to face the days ahead. With deepest sympathy."

"Our hearts are aching for you. May God watch over you and wrap you in the love and prayers that pour out to you from so many family and friends. And may, some how, some way, you find peace."

"It was a great honor to have known and worked with Taylor. I always think of him as fun, kind, and dedicated. The Flaskas are truly great people and they will be in my prayers. Rest in Peace Taylor, and God bless the Flaska family. "

"We love you and thank you for being a great friend. Rest easy my friend. "

"Ken, What words can truly sooth the heart doing moments like these? What book can you read that can take away the heaviness of your heart? What medication can you take that will remove the pain you are experiencing? No, none of these things can replace your son. There is one thing that death can never take or rob you of and that is the memories you will always have of William. I can only share what I have personally experienced and that is God does truly cares. Let Him be your anchor when the sea of doubt and confustion set in. Let Him be the pilot to navigate you and the family during this season of bereavement. Seek His comfort. "

We watched as you built your talents in athletics and were so proud to be able to witness all of your accomplishments..but no trophies or certificates were ever given out for what you did the best. The love you had for your parents and brother, but also the empathetic nature you always exhibited for the under dog. The smile and welcome you gave to the outcast, the misunderstood, and the challenged. It was innate and natural in you. And a gift that will be missed. Thank you for allowing us to share in your life. Greg, Michele, Jessica, Colin and Shelby."
