This is a photo of Taylor Anderson. She was found almost a week ago, one of the first United States citizens to be identified as a victim of the disaster in Japan.
I knew Taylor. Not well, but I knew her. We went to college together. She graduated the same year as me. I could have picked her out of a crowd and said, "Yeah, that's Taylor Anderson."
From the few conversations I had with her, she seemed like a real sweet girl.
As much as I cannot say that Taylor and I were close, I can say that some of the girls I am close with were close with her. Taylor was in the same sorority as many of my college friends, including my dear friend Virginia.
She shared cherished memories with the same people I share cherished memories.
She was a loved one of my loved ones.
CNN interviewed Virginia and some of my other friends about Taylor. Here is the article. The accompanying video is embedded below.
Here is an article from Randolph-Macon, the college Taylor and I went to.
I urge you to pray for her family during this difficult time. If you're not the praying kind, send your most loving thoughts out into the universe - God will hear those prayers, too.
