Everyone, i would really like to
let you know what happened to one of my best friends.
She died in a ski accident.
But her tragic ending, started so many new beginnings.
Her parents decided to donate her organs and because of her and
them 5 people are alive today.
After she died, her parents started an organization called
Taylor's Gift
This organization is to help promote organ donation, because of
the low number of organ donors there are today in Texas, and in
the world.
Taylor and her parents continue to inspire me, and I hope they
can inspire you too.

There are also facebook pages created in her honor.
In memory of Taylor Storch.
I was
having a great day, better than ever actually.
The I came home, did my homework, and checked my email.
I had one new one from my friend in Texas.
The email read-
Hey when you get a chance call me,
its to important to write down.
Then I immdeiatley grabbed the phone hoping for good news.
She picked up, and I was so excited, but then I got the news.
She told me that one of my best friends from Texas, Taylor Storch
died.
She got into a ski accident, suffered head trauma, went into a
coma, and never came out.
I stayed home from school for 2 days, and cried the whole
time.
I was so devestated and didn'y understand.
My class wrote me letters saying how sorry they were.
They all touhed my heart, but I was still sad.
I still cry every night, I practically cry myself to sleep.
Then one day I listened to the song Keep Holding On, by Avril
Lavigne.
It spoke to me and told me that I should
never let go.
I still cry all the time, but the ponit is to
always,
Keep Holding On.
