Taylor and I walked to class together every day. She always had the silliest things to say! One time, a friend of ours and I were driving down Joplin and we honked at Taylor to say hi to her and she said, “I was about to say that’s one sexy truck!” She was such a sweet and joyful gal and I loved knowing her🤍
Dear Chrisman Family,
Taylor was a such a blessing and I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to know her while she was at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School. During this difficult time, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Very grateful for the time I was able to work with Taylor at Chick-fil-A. She was always a joy to be around and had a heart for serving others. We will miss her very much.
Taylor put a smile on everyone’s face here at Medicalodges Frontenac. She was a very sweet and genuine person. She will be missed by all! God Bless the family and help them through this heartbreaking time.

What a beautiful young lady, full of so much promise, so much promise that God called for her. We seek for answers to explain why this happened to our loved one, but for the most part we fall short of an answer that satisfies our needs. As believers we turn to the Bible for guidance and strength and we know that our loved one is truly at home with her Heavenly Father. RIP Taylor!
My heart is breaking for the Bloomer’s and Chrisman’s as they grieve the loss of a special young lady. May you find strength in those around you. I remember running to the hospital to hold her when she was born and how excited there was a girl amongst the group. Since those days, our kids kept us busy going in different directions but please know I am here for you all. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Cindy – please reach out if I can offer you a hug or just a chat. I will not be able to be at any of the arrangements due to a basketball tournament in Chanute. However, I will touch base with you again. Love, Hugs and shared tears, Jennifer, Scott Schroeder and Family
I am so so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim and he always lit up when he talked about Taylor. I know she will truly be missed.

My deepest condolences to your family through this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I had the pleasure of getting to work with Taylor at Chick-Fil-A, and it was a blessing. Taylor always had such a bright welcoming smile every time I saw her, and it was the first thing I noticed when I met her. She was always so sweet and kind to everyone at Chick-Fil-A, and brought joy and lightheartedness whenever & wherever she was and no matter who she was with! I am very thankful to have been able to meet and know Taylor for the time we worked together.
Rest easy, young lady. Prayers and condolences to her family, friends, and co-workers.
It’s hard to pick, whether it was seeing the boys light up when they knew she was going to babysit or come to a game, they loved her so much and she always acted just as excited! Taylor always greeted me with a huge smile no matter where we were. Another one of my favorite memories was a recent one, the whole Chrisman family showed up to support Blake @ BC wrestling. Taylor sat in front of me and we were talking about her going to see Adam graduate. You could see the excitement and joy In her eyes and that beautiful smile that lit up any room. I just thought to myself you are are all grown up and are such beautiful soul! She just made you smile inside and out❤️
I remember getting to know meet her when my sister and her did the seniors vs teachers bb game and a more occasions after she was always smiling so kind hearted and loved fully.
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beautiful Taylor. I did not know her but learned of her passing on campus today and wanted to reach out. Please know that your family is in my prayers.
