Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Andy,
I wish I would have had the privilege of knowing you on a personal level. Despite this fact, I feel that all of law enforcement, especially fellow deputies, will always have an unspoken bond.

I still remember your memorial service as if it were yesterday, and picture you getting a laugh as all these big officers filed in and tried to squeeze into those small school auditorium seats.

Not a day since has gone by nor a windmill I pass that I am not reminded of your sacrifice. My heart ached as we paid tribute that day to what you gave bringing safety and security to the citizens of Llano as well as this great state. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten and I will carry your memory with me forever.

Thank you for all that you gave in service to our profession. You will never be forgotten.

ANDY,
I DON'T THINK THAT A SINGLE DAY HAS PASSED SINCE YOU DIED THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YOU. SO MANY THINGS REMIND ME OF YOU, AND OUR FRIENDS, AND SEEMINGLY ENDLESS MEMORIES THAT SOMETIMES SEEM TO TAKE ME BACK IN TIME. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. NONE OF US WILL. NONE OF US WILL EVER BE THE SAME, EITHER. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, I WISH SO BADLY THAT THINGS DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. NOT YOU. NOT LIKE THIS. NOT SO SUDDENLY. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE, AND FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL. THANK YOU FOR EVERY MEMORY. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE, WATCHING OVER ALL OF US. LIKE YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE HERE. I LOVE YOU, MAN. BESIDES, YOU CAN'T COMPLETELY DIE, WHEN YOU LIVE IN SO MANY HEARTS.
LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR FRIEND, LORA

March 5, 2006

You are my heart, my hope, my help,
The passion that is me,
The whole of which I am a part,
My peace, my ecstasy.
You are my future, present, past,
My ship, my sail, my ocean,
The wind that brings me home again,
The home for every motion.

You live within me, yet I am
Without you all alone.
With you I am full of light;
Without you I am stone.

Is this foolish? Yes, perhaps,
But also it is true.
I think of life as something I
Can spend with only you.
I feel your love inside of me,
And you and I will always be....
Together Forever

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ANDY
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND SOUL.I AM MISSING YOU SO MUCH. OUR LOVE WILL LAST FOR ALL ETERNITY.

To: A Friend
You were and are a great friend. Countless memories we shared. As you know there almost isn't a day that goes by without me thinking of the times we shared. I attended your services (yes I went to Llano) and learned a great deal more about the man u became. You were and are a very respected man in your town. Your unrepaceable Andy. It's an honor knowing you. My love goes out to your family.. Your not a memory but still a friend. Keep an eye out.

Much Love, Your Friend,

Andy,

I did not know you but I know that your a hero and gave the ultimate sacrifice. It breaks my heart to know another brother in "Blue" has fallen and the coward responsible had to end his life also. Trust in the Lord, justice will be given for vengence is his. Rest in Peace and my prayers are with your family.

To the family and friends of Deputy Andy Taylor and his fellow officers in the Llano County Sheriff's Department:

On behalf of our entire family, we wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Deputy Taylor was so brutally murdered at such a young age. His heroism, valor and bravery will be forever remembered.

In reading the reflections about Andy, it is obvious he was well loved by his family and friends and was a man of honor.

His peers respected him and so many have fond memories of their times together. Andy will never be forgotten by those who cared about him, nor will he be forgotten by those who honor his courage and dedication to his job, even if they didn't know him personally.

To Andy's Mom, when I read your reflections to your son, some of your thoughts are like my own. Like you, I have thought so much about the night my son was born and what an amazing night it was and how it was to hold him for the very first time. I too have another son, another brother left grief stricken by the loss of their brother. I know that the fatal shot that took Andy's life was like the fatal shot that took my son's life: it killed a large part of us and everyone else who loved them. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

May you all be comforted by the support and caring of your law enforcement family, and other police survivors. We grieve for you and with you. Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater when he was fatally shot this past April during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, so we know the anquish you are experiencing. Please know that the brotherhood and sisterhood of law enforcement will be by your side on each step of the journey ahead of you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the three years of service Deputy Taylor gave to his community and the citizens of Texas, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 9, 2005 when he gave his life in the line of duty.

WE WERE SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY FILLED WITH LOVE AND HAPPINESS. I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, THE LITTLE MOMENTS AND THE UNFORGETTABLE ONES, THE MAN OF MY DREAMS. I WAS SOOOO LUCKY TO HAVE A HUSBAND LIKE YOU, AND HUNTER TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU.

YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE SHERIFF,BUTCH, RONNIE, AND BILL, THEY ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY, THEY HAVE HELPED ME SOOOO MUCH THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

ANDY,
YOU ARE THE MAN OF MY DREAMS, MY BEST FRIEND AND MY LIFE. WHEN GOD GAVE ME TO YOU, HE GAVE ME THE VERY BEST AND MOST WONDERFUL MAN. YOU GAVE ME MORE JOY THAN I HAD EVER HOPED FOR AND MORE LOVE THAN I THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, WE HAVE HAD SUCH WONDERFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER, I WISH WE COULD OF HAD MANY MORE. YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME AND HUNTER WAY TOO SOON. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. MY HEART WILL NEVER HEAL, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. I KNOW YOU ARE HERE WATCHING OVER US, BUT I WISH I COULD JUST HOLD YOU AND KISS YOU AND HEAR YOUR VOICE TELLING ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME AND HOW YOU USED TO SAY WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER. WELL I KNOW WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER AND ONE DAY WHEN WE GET TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN, I WILL HOLD YOU AND NEVER LET YOU GO. I REMEMBER OUR FIRST DATE WHEN WE WENT TO WATCH THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, THEN YOU TOOK ME OUT TO DINNER, THEN YOU MADE ME DRIVE YOUR TRUCK AROUND, I WAS SO NERVOUS DRIVING YOUR TRUCK ON OUR FIRST DATE. WE DROVE AROUND BACK ROADS AND TALKED AND LISTENED TO MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG. THEN RIGHT BEFORE YOU TOOK ME BACK HOME YOU ASKED IF YOU COULD KISS ME. THAT WAS THE NICEST THING ASKING ME, WHEN MOST GUYS WOULD NOT ASK, AND AFTER THAT AND OUR WONDERFUL FIRST KISS YOU HAD ME FROM THEN ON, I FELL IN LOVE JUST LIKE THAT. AND MY LOVE FOR YOU JUST GREW STRONGER AND STRONGER FROM THEN ON. WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW VERY MUCH I LOVE YOU, AS I KNOW YOU LOVE ME THE SAME. I KNOW YOU HAVE A SPOT SAVED FOR ME UP THERE IN HEAVEN WITH YOU. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE UNTIL I'M UP THERE WITH YOU. I WILL TRY TO GO ON AND LIVE MY LIFE AS YOU WOULD WANT ME TO, BUT JUST REMEMBER ANDY THAT MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BELONG TO YOU. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING. PEOPLE TELL ME I JUST NEED TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE, BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE MY LIFE, MY HUSBAND, MY TERD WHEN YOU WANTED TO BE, YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING. LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. WE ALREADY HAD OUR FAMILY LIFE PLANNED OUT, HOW YOU WERE GOING TO BUILD ME AND HUNTER A LOG CABIN WHERE WE HAD TO USE A 4WHEEL DRIVE TO GET TO IT, AND HOW YOU WANTED TO BE A GREAT FATHER TO HUNTER AND SHOW HIM HOW TO SHOOT, AND WORK ON TRUCKS AND ALL THAT FATHER AND SON STUFF. HE MISSES YOU SO MUCH TOO, I HOPE HE WILL BE THE SAME AGAIN ONE DAY. I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER US AND PROTECTING US. THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDY FOR GIVING ME YOUR HEART AND MAKING ME SO HAPPY AND LOVING ME AND HUNTER, WE WERE A HAPPY FAMILY AND I KNOW WE WILL ALL MEET AGAIN. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN I CAN COME TO YOU AND HOLD ON TO YOU AND NEVER LET YOU GO, UNTIL THEN ANDY I WILL TAKE CARE OF THINGS JUST AS YOU WOULD HAVE. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BELONG TO YOU. I WILL SEE YOU BUT WILL MISS YOU UNTIL THEN.
WITH ALL OUR LOVE

Andy, you are a very special person. Everytime I was around you, you had that little grin. Always had something encouraging to say, whether it be oh, its not that bad is it...or just give me a hug! You are definately an angel. Now you have your wings. You and your family will be in my heart forever. I miss you Andy.

August 11, 2005

Hey Andy,
I apologize for taking so long to write to you. It is hard to put such deep thoughts into writing. There are absolutely no words to describe how much we miss you. Nothing is nor ever will be the same without you. You should be so very very proud of the legacy you have left behind.

We know you are with us,we can feel you here....and you ALWAYS will be in our hearts! Thank you for sending Amber the sign on your birthday...I was there, it was an unbelievable calming event. She is a strong young lady and is getting stronger as everyday passes. I pray sometimes just to take her pain into myself and away from her, even if it is just for 5 minutes. Hunter is a remarkable young man and loves you so much and misses you as much...please give him the strength to find peace through his feelings and give us the strength to help him do so.

It seems unfair that you finally had your life the way you wanted and were with the people you loved so much, only to be cut short. Amber let me read the letter you wrote her on valentines day and it is the sweetest letter that I have ever read. She has SO MUCH love for you!

I am not questioning God's plan, you are in a much better place and I know the day that each of us go to Heaven you will be there waiting with that grin on your face and open arms. Until then, I will keep on keeping on and I will be there to hold Your Amber up when she is down and to hug hunter when you can't.

I love ya and miss ya!

OF COURSE I COULDN'T RESIT UNDRESSING YOU TO COUNT FINGERS AND TOES, EVERYTHING WAS EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE WAS NO NOUBT IN MY MIND THAT YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHILD THAT HAD EVER DRAWN A BREATH, AT THAT POINT IN MY LIFE THAT WAS THE MOST PERFECT DAY OF MY LIFE, THEN 3 YEARS LATER YOUR BROTHER CAME ALONG AND THEN IT WAS A TIE. THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME BOTH OF MY PERFECT SONS. ANDY I KNOW THAT YOU SEE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON HERE AND THAT YOU KNOW I AM DOING MY BEST, AND THAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF YOUR MOM. I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU WEREN'T HERE TO GET YOUR NORMAL EARLY MORNING PHONE CALL FROM ME SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU MISSED MY WONDERFUL VOICE, HUH? GIGGLE MY BABY ANDY, I KNOW THAT YOU SEE ALL OF THE VERY SPECIAL MEMORIALS THAT ARE BEING PUT ALL OVER LLANO IN YOUR HONOR, AND ARE WONDERING WHAT YOU DID TO DESERVE THEM. WELL I CAN TELL YOU SON, ALL YOU DID WAS JUST BE YOU, THE VERY SPECIAL PERSON I RAISED YOU TO BE, GOD KNOWS HOW VERY MUCH I MISS YOU ANDY. BABY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE VISITS FROM YOU, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE JUST LETTING ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE STILL HERE WITH ME AND WILL BE FORVER, SON. BABY I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NEVER DOUBTED MY LOVE FOR YOU AND WON'T START NOW. ALL MY LOVE IS YOURS FORVER, NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT. YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING, MY FIRST CHILD. IT IS STILL SO IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIVE THAT YOU ARE REALLY GONE BUT, WITH THE GRACE OF GOD WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN SON, AND THAT I HAVE A REALLY, REALLY BIG HUG AND KISS COMING, THAT MAKES ME SMILE! GOODBYE FOR NOW BABY, YOU KNOW THAT I'LL WRITE AGAIN VERY SOON. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL COME TO SEE ME IN MY DREAMS TONIGHT, SO I WILL SAY GOODNIGHT TO YOU THEN.

Andy you told me that you wanted new bronco seats for our bronco for your Birthday and your not here for me to give them to you so instead I had you a stone made with your bronco on it, I just wish you were here so i could get those seats and we could have driven around in the bronco for your Birthday. Hunter designed you a stone also, he was so proud of it and thought you would like to have bart's paw print with his too because he said you are both his dad and barts dad. I know you would love them. We miss you so much. It was a very hard day yesterday on your Birthday but our friend's and your coworkers were here to help me and Hunter through the day. Your bench and stones look beautiful under the trees at the sheriff's office you would be very proud of them. Andy I love you so much and thank you for watching over us, my heart will alway's belong to you and when we are together again, we can hold on to each other and never let go. Our love is so strong that I know everything will be ok one day, so hold that place beside you up there in heaven and I will be there when god say's I can come to you. Thank you for holding me tight at night and showing me just how strong our love is. We miss and love you sooooooooo very very much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY......
Today would have been a celebration for you, Amber,and Hunter. They love and miss you so much. We know you are watching from God's protective arms, so today take a look down Andy Taylor Lane at the Law Enforcement Center and view the beautiful granite bench created in your honor, and especially today for your present, two beautiful granite memorials left by Amber and Hunter. Hunter's is a heart shape with his little hand print and Bart's paw print with an inscription of love for you. Amber's is showing your "fun side" with pictures of the Bronco engraved, with her expression of love.
So Happy Birthday young man, you are loved dearly!!!

Andy,
Amber will never be the same. You have touched her in a way only a soulmate can. You have brought happiness and joy into her life. You are missed so much words cannot express. May you bring peace and comfort to Amber and Hunter. Thank you for bringing my sister and nephew the happiness that they have known with you and we will never forget you.

Deputy Taylor, thank you for your service. I know you've found the peace we're all working toward, but from time to time please reassure your family and loved ones that you're still with them, as I know you're probably already doing. You are even younger than my former roommate and co-worker Brandy Winfield who was killed 10/14/2004. May God be with all the people still in the shadow of this vile deed.

Andy, you are surley missed at the department. You are still remembered in humorous stories in which you were part of. Life in Llano County has moved on slowly, but you have not been forgotten. I thank God for the time which was proveded so that you, Ronnie and I were able to work together and share war stories with each other. The time was also a time of friendships to develop. As it has been said before "Rest in peace brother, we got from here".
