“This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime. And in spite of that, she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her. She is the most brave and strong woman I know, and her confidence in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she’s faced, even in her darkest hours,” he continued. Cameron’s post highlighted the deep bond they shared and Taylor’s enduring impact on others.
A Legacy of Saving Lives
Taylor’s commitment to helping others extends beyond her life. Cameron revealed that Taylor’s organs will be donated to help save lives, fulfilling one of her final wishes. “Her earthly body is still here with us being ran by machines to keep her organs viable for donation. More than anything Taylor would want to know that she’s continuing to save people’s lives even after she’s gone from this world,” he explained.
He added that while Taylor’s physical body is still with them, awaiting organ donation, her spirit is free. “She doesn’t owe anyone, anything. But she would want everyone to know that she’s more than okay. While her earthly body is still here waiting to give the gift of life, we know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace.”
Faith and Comfort
Cameron also spoke about the comfort he finds in his faith during this difficult time. He expressed that Taylor is no longer in pain, and her body has been made whole in the name of Jesus. “We can praise God that she will endure no more suffering and she is truly set free from these earthly chains! She’s been made whole and perfect!” he wrote. Cameron believes that they will be reunited one day, spending eternity together in heaven.
Financial Struggles and Fundraising Efforts
In his post, Cameron also shared that Taylor’s passing has placed a significant financial burden on the family. Due to Taylor’s frequent hospital visits since their marriage, the couple faced financial challenges and did not have health insurance to cover the mounting medical expenses. “Taylor has been in and out of the hospital since we got married, which has affected our financial situation; therefore, we don’t have any insurance,” Cameron explained.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family cover funeral and medical costs. The fundraising page noted that they are planning to hold a benefit in Taylor’s honor, where loved ones can gather to celebrate her life. The page explained that the funds raised would go toward covering the unexpected expenses brought on by Taylor’s sudden passing.
