I never knew you, but your song "I finally made it" has helped me through so much. It reminds me that everything gets better, and to just keep going. Sometimes I'll say "I wish I would have known him.", but honestly if I would have it would have been harder to accept the fact that you're gone, and it's already hard enough as it is. Keep singing with the angels(: Rest In Paradise <3

Dear Weiss Family,
My dearest sympathy to all of your family! My dad Tim Miller worked with Mark at UPS for many years. He always had such wonderful things to say about your family. I had the pleasure of hanging with the Weiss family on an occasion or two and what a loving sight to see. Your nephew Josh Bishop is actually my boyfriend and I still get to hear great stories of your family. Although we don't remember Taylor personally we know that if he was a Weiss, he was a great person.
Sending you strength and support!
Sincerely,
The Millers and Bishops

Taylor Andrew Weiss. My White-E. I miss you so much and I will never ever forget the things we went through. You were like my best friend and I knew you would always be there for me. You helped me through so much; with Toaster, Sean, Seth, Cameron.... The list could go on forever. I remember 5-6 years ago you told me you were going to be a rapper. I will never forget those Myspace days. I will always cry when I hear your music and remember the good times. I will cry out of sadness and happiness. I will remember the web-camming and the pictures and everything in between. I'm still trying to get through this just like everybody else. I'm sending my blessings to all of your family and friends. May we all get through this together.
I love you Taylor, my White-E. I always will and will never forget you.
