Taylor was an incredible little girl to say the least. My family and I met Phil, Robyn and Taylor when Taylor was like 3 and knew them closely until we moved away a few years later. She was alwyas alive with energy, sweetness and compassion and I am sure she has carried those qualities onto heaven. I know that she will be missed greatly but her memories will live on forever in our thoughts and our hearts. Love and prayers to the Estrella and Treat families. God Bless.

There are too many memories to tell about Taylor. Our families spent many a night playing games, celebrating the new year, bowling, BBQing and playing with the animals. We even camped with Taylor and DJ when they were just pip squeeks! We still can't believe you are gone Taylor! One day we will all be together again building snow castles, sledding, and going for ice cream! You can watch over Kylie, your Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grampa, and all your family and friends, and be their guiding angel. May peace and healing thoughts be with your family as they begin their journey of healing in your absence. We love you!

We were lucky to have known a precious child like Taylor. Kristina enjoyed the horse camp with her where she got to know her. We will cherish the memories of her showing and the camps as our thoughts are with the family.

I think you were 8 when you joined Draken and I on a driving obstacle course. Your Mom was with us and it was at Whitney Point. I remember your eyes got really big and you had a good hold on the cart seat but you were game to go again. We'll miss you at the horse shows.

Taylor, although I never met you in person, I felt as if I knew you. I could tell from photos and videos, and the way your mom talked about you, that you were an exceptional person. And I look forward to riding with you in Heaven some day. I know you will be able to teach me a thing or two.

Through Grandma Margie, I knew Taylor to not only be loved by all, but to be a very special young lady.

Taylor and Devin used to hang out in their strollers side by side at the horse shows when they were babes. God Bless the Estrella and Treat family.

We will remember Taylor in different ways. Remembering her and Sam coloring at tack sales while Robyn and I worked. Horse shows together, and just being kids. They had so much in common. She will be greatly missed.
Katie Su 2012-01-19 14:24:19
Taylor was such a cheerful fun girl to be around. Always smiling and riding. At just 6 years old she brought Tara over to my parent's house and rode that horse through brick brak trails, overflowing creeks, and up and down some crazy terrain. Very brave, very vivacious. All who knew her will miss her greatly.

My sister Pat and I were rembering when Taylor came over to her pond to swim, in West Corrners, D.J. would not go near the water and Taylor laughed saying " come on " then jumping into the wafer... Thank you Taylor, thats the year my grandson learned to swim.. he loved your spirit and will never forget you... Rest in peace little one.

I behold few but fond memories of Taylor ... But one I won't forget is the one fall day most of the family went on a haybale ride in one of her gonlden feilds. We went further and further in ... and she told me about every small detail and story to each and eveything we passed. Then when we stopped to have a picknic under the trees D.J. and Grace were fighting over what sandwitch to eat. (smile) and she didn't like to see them fight so she picked up the sandwitches and handed one to each, not saying a word they both ate. Then we played tag for hours till it was getting dark ... and it was time to go home. This was a great time, back then but I still hold this memory dear. Taylor's spirit and kind will was only to be match by her determation and strength to over come all hurdles of her life. She was the kind of girl who took life by the reins and gave it a heck of a run, althouogh she got off the saddle too soon ... we will all remember her and her talented ways. Thank You Taylor for every thing you have done for all of us. And may you rest in peace brave little Taylor. <3

My husband and I first met Taylor when she was around 5. She was one of the first kids that I coached in baseball. She always had a sparkle in her eye and was a joy to coach. She popped back into my life when she came to Maine Memorial last year. The moment that we saw each other, we both instantly remembered where we had first met. Taylor was a joy to coach and a joy to teach. We will miss seeing her from time to time and she will always have a special spot in our hearts. With Love, Coach Mark and Coach Michelle

Taylor you were such a sweet girl. I remember seeing you at shows having a great time on your horse, with a big smile on your face. You will be remembered by many, and i know you are up in heaven looking out for your family. It was great to know a girl that had such a passion for riding! We will all miss you.
Rohyn and Phil 2012-01-20 02:25:18

What a beautiful young lady. I did not have the honor of knowing Taylor. I wish that I did. The Estrella family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Taylor, you were a 3rd grade Suzuki violin "Twinkle" at Maine Memorial School. Now you are a Twinkle in heaven, lighting up our night sky. I will always remember your eagerness to play the violin! Your enthusiasm, your kind and compassionate behavior toward other students, your desire to take private lessons and to play your violin in church! Being in a large lesson group, I did not get to know you as well as I would have liked to. I wish I had been there to hear you play your violin and sing a solo in church at Christmas time! I am grateful that MM offered you the opportunity to play an instrument while yet in elementary school, so that you could share your talents with all. What a fulfilled life you have lived in a "too short" amount of time. Hope to see you in heaven, fiddling, enjoying the water, playing baseball and "horsing" around! We shall miss your smiling, bubbling presence. Until then . . . we love you.
