Sending lots of love & prayers to Tina, Katie & their entire family.

I have always genuinely loved Tina & now I love Katie. I know their faith is what they will need right now to get through it. I pray for them to have strength and for the strength of the bonds within your family to carry you all through it. Much Love & Prayers!
Tina, Katie, and Family: I'm so sorry for your loss. You're wonderful, genuine, soulful people and Taylor must have been a proud son and brother! Much love to the whole family.
Dear Tina, Katie & Mr. Collins, It is with much shock that I read about Taylor and was immediately saddened by the news. I hope that he'll always be in your good memories and be a reminder to each of you and to the world of the relationships that we can enjoy with our kids and siblings. May you receive the strength you need during this time, being surrounded by family and friends. Thoughts and prayers with you for now. Take care each of you.
I am so sorry for your loss, I know the pain of loosing a child. I lost my 32 year old daughter after being struck by a vehicle while crossing a intersection on 2/22/2012. She left behind 4 children 12-2, her baby was 4 months old and I have all 4. I can feel your pain. Praying for you and your families, as well as the family of your son's friend.
with a heavy heart i send love and prayers to you and your family. i pray peace finds you in a time where all peace is lost and cannot be found. i am so sorry for your tremendous loss.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you during this very difficult time. My hope is that someday soon memories of Taylor will turn your tears into smiles. I pray you feel the love and support coming from all around the world.
Hey Tina & Katie! I just heard the news on facebook. I'm so sorry for your loss! I was shocked when I saw that news! Sending much love, and hugs to you guys! I will definitely see you guys this April at Reality Rally!
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it feels like to lose someone you lived with- my father passed very suddenly when I was just 9. It seems strange that this current Survivor season is called Blood vs Water. Blood is truly thicker than water. No parent should have to bury their child nor should a sibling have to lose their brother/sister at such a young age.
Tina, Katie and family, my heart aches for you and I am at a loss for words. Such a terrible tragedy that no mother, father or sister should ever experience. May you find your way through this with God and faith. I am truly sorry. Kathy Sleckman
Tina, Katie, and Family My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. May God wrap his loving arms around you and grant you the peace that passes all understanding. Praying for you. (((hugs)))
I'm still numb over the whole thing ... All of us on Season 2 are talking, sending <3 and prayers ... Tina/Katie, you'll always be family to us. I'll be there for you Michael Skupin
I am so sorry to hear about this awful, awful tragedy that happened. It's gotta be hard losing someone so close, especially around this time of the year. I send my prayers and thoughts to Tina, Katie, and their friends and families. After a hurricane comes a rainbow. Stay as strong as you guys can.
Please know that all of us who enjoyed watching both of you play the game also have you in our hearts now and feel sincere sympathy for your terrible loss.
Tina, Katie, and Families, I pray for peace for you and will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Just know he is in your heart and God has him in his arms. I know this is going to be hard on all of you, but i pray you find comfort and peace in your heart. God bless you all.
Katie & Tina and Family- You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. There are little things to say at this time, but just know everyone is thinking and praying for y'all. Stay strong.
I was so sorry to hear what had happened in your family, the tragedy that struck. I'm sure he was an amazing man, and I will have your family in my thoughts.
Tina & Katie I am so sorry to hear what your going through, I can't imagine losing my brother/son in such a tragedy, at anytime of the year. Even though you've never met me, my thoughts/prayers are with you both and entire family during this very difficult time. Hoping all the love coming from your Survivor community brings a smile to your face and leaves peace in your hearts. You both are so beautiful, stay together as family and you can get through this. <3 from Canada!
Tina..Katie..I've been supporting you both in the game of Survivor, and now I will support you in life after Survivor. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. A whole community is here to help in anyway we can. Take care!
Tina, my mom lost her daughter when she was 36 almost 16 yrs ago.She say,"It's the hardest thing in the world to lose a child and only a mother can feel this pain." I can only imagine what you are going through and I know you will get through all of this.Your a strong woman.Katie,I know what it is like to lose a sibling at a young age,I was 25.The pain is still there at times,some days it's harder than other days,but I promise it will get easier as the years pass by.Lots of love to the both of you and the entire family. Samantha aka: Survivor Rocks
Ever since Survivor Australia you have been my favorite Tina. Your smile is captivating and you were like a second mom in my eyes. My heart breaks for you both. Please stay strong and know how much everyone loves you and sending you positive energy.
To Tina and Katie, and your family. I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your son and brother - devastating news. I have been there, and know the pain you are in. My heart and thoughts are with you. Julie from Australia.
I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss and I offer you my deepest condolences. You were one of my heroes of Survivor and I was so happy when you won Season 2. I know the next few months will be the most painful and difficult of your lives but always keep the love and memories of him in your heart and he will live on in spirit.
Tina, Katie, and family, I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a parent is heartbreaking. I can't imagine losing a son or daughter. Even thought I am just a fan, I truly care. May you and your family find some peace at some point! Jewell Ottinger
Dear Tina, Katie, and family: Our hearts go out to you, so incredibly sorry for your loss. With our deepest sympathies and condolences, our thoughts are with you.
I'm so sorry that you have lost a precious member of your family. I hope the 25 years of memories will help you at least a little. Please know that many people are sending love and strength your way.
Tina, my heart hurts for you and I'm praying for you. I'm from Knoxville and I've always been proud of you.
Katie, I know the pain of losing a sibling. My brother was a little older than yours and I lost part of my heart. My mom lost part of her heart and her soul. As much as you hurt, your mom's life has changed forever, in the way it did when she gave birth to you kids. Watching my mom grieve for years just broke my heart. I know the character you have shown will make you the type of daughter that will be there for your mom during this tragic time. Take time for you, too. But your mom is going through something only a mom can feel. Love to you both. I hope you win Survivor and I felt that way before this. Love and prayers. ~ Teresa
Tina and Katie: No words can express the sorrow I feel for you. It's obvious that the Survivor family -- fans and fellow contestants -- feel so sad for the loss of your son and brother. May he live on in all the wonderful times you shared...
Sending Prayers to Tina and Katie for the loss of yr beloved son/brother. I cant express the sorrow i feel for you. Stay Strong and will keep your family in my prayers.
There are no words to express my sadness. May you find the strength to get through this and know there is one more angel looking out for you Tina and Katie
Dear Tina, Katie, and family. words can't even express how sorry I am for your loss. life can be extremely unfair, and a mystery. I like to believe, & I hope you do as well,, that all will be answered one day when we are all reunited. I pray for peace for all of you, and comfort from your family and friends and God, I pray that you feel the presence of Taylor around you daily.. he is with you always in your hearts and your memories, and always by your side even know you may not see him, until you meet him again. God bless you all you are all in my thoughts and prayers! sincerely, Rob Nichols
One of your Tennessee neighbors sending condolences and prayers at this time of great loss with the thought that Taylor will always be a part of your family.
To loose a child is a devastation that I hope to never know, I wish you and your family the very best and hope that you can look back and only remember that way he changed your life for the better because I know having you for a mom definitely made his wonderful.

To the family and friends - I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that your Survivor family is sending our best to you and yours, and if you need anything at all, please don't hestitate to ask.
To Tina, Katie & your family and friends. My heartfelt condolences to all of you on your recent loss. If I knew the words to say to make things better, I'd say them in an instant. Treasure the memories that you have for no one can take them away.
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together . . . there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you.”
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever."
I am so sorry for your loss. From a Survivor fans perspective you seem like such a wonderful, kind family. For this to happen just breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Wesson family during this very painful time. May God bless all of you.
Tina, Katie and family...you are all in my heart and my soul weeps with you. May the Lord comfort you all immensely and give you His peace that surpasses all understanding. My love to you always.

Taylor went to Berean Christian High School with me and I remember the hilarious notes he would pass me in class. He was such a fun guy with a unique sense of humor. I have a ton of stories about him from the two years we were in school togehter. He was a real character! I still remember him yelling at me through the magaphone he had attached to his Jeep on the way home from school. No one can imagine losing a son or brother who was so young. My prayers are with Tina, Katie and the rest of Taylor's family and dear friends.
Taylor was such a fun, easy-going person to be around, and my heart sank when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.
As someone who still remembers your families shining faces way back in the internet cafe challenge in season 2, to see the children all grown up now from way back, it just makes this hard for us true fans of the show. I cant even imagine how hard this is for you. My heartfelt condolences to Tina, Katie and the entire Collins family and to everyone whose life Taylor has touched. Truly tragic news.
Tina, Katie, and the rest of your family, Taylor was a good friend of mine. I haven't seen him since he moved from Knox but my family and I have missed him very much. To hear this news is heart breaking. My 6 year old daughter Madelin loves Taylor, they were buddies. This loss will be felt throughout my entire family. Its rare you meet someone with a heart as big as his. All our prayer go out to your family. Danny Machette and the Machette family.
Tina & Katie, Taylor was a very close friend of our family & helped my 13 year old grandson at a very hard time in his life. He was so very special to us. In the past couple of years that we spent with him & his sweet girlfriend Brittany, we grew to love him very much. We are heartbroken & cannot fathom that he is gone, but his beautiful smile will live on forever in our hearts & minds. So sorry for your great loss & praying for you.
Tina, Katie, and Family -- I posted sympathies yesterday, and am confirming them again today. I hope you know that the sentiments, prayers, and sympathies that are expressed on any one day, by all of us who post, continue thereafter day-to-day as a foundation of support. The posts are multiplied by days, and take on even greater strength.
Tina my wife and I lost both of our sons this past April and May. I would like to invite you to visit the Compassionate Friends Chapter here in Knoxville it is for parents who have lost a child from a death. We meet the 2nd Sunday of every month in the Second Methodist Church located @ 2846 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville 37917 ph. 865-687-2117 This number is to the compassionate friends group not the church. Also the Compassionate Friends are not affiliated with the Church.
I cannot even begin to imagine what it must feel like to lose a son or brother and yes, I have both. What I can say though is you both are in my prayers and thoughts and heart. I am but one fan among many but this fan is with you both in spirit. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Love and warm hugs your way! Sincerely, Tammy Bienick Arkansas
Tina and Katie, I'm a fan of both of you on Survivor, and all of us in the Survivor community are thinking of you. I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you. May you find comfort, strength, and love to help you through this.

Tina I am so sorry about the loss of your precious Taylor! You were my favorite Co worker at Priority and I missed you when you left. But I have followed your career and cheered you on. Life will not be the same from now on. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you as you try to learn to deal with living without your angel. Love and hugs to you and may God bless you. (♡)
Tina and Katie, my thoughts are with you during those difficult times. You have touched and inspired many people to be strong and positive and we are all thankful for that.
As my tween children grow up and could care less about me, one thing we still do together is watch Survivor. You have touched our lives and brought my family together in ways you can't imagine. To know your family is shattered..well, my heart completely breaks for you. Much love to you during this tragedy.
Sincerest condolences. I can't imagine the pain that your family is going through right now. I hope every new day brings with it another great memory of Taylor to keep you strong.

ReplyDeleteTo Tina, Katie and family...
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it feels like to lose someone you lived with- my father passed very suddenly when I was just 9. It seems strange that this current Survivor season is called Blood vs Water. Blood is truly thicker than water. No parent should have to bury their child nor should a sibling have to lose their brother/sister at such a young age.
You have my condolences.
Aaron

ReplyDeleteKatie, I know the pain of losing a sibling. My brother was a little older than yours and I lost part of my heart. My mom lost part of her heart and her soul. As much as you hurt, your mom's life has changed forever, in the way it did when she gave birth to you kids. Watching my mom grieve for years just broke my heart. I know the character you have shown will make you the type of daughter that will be there for your mom during this tragic time. Take time for you, too. But your mom is going through something only a mom can feel. Love to you both. I hope you win Survivor and I felt that way before this. Love and prayers. ~ Teresa

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss :-(
ReplyDeleteTaylor went to Berean Christian High School with me and I remember the hilarious notes he would pass me in class. He was such a fun guy with a unique sense of humor. I have a ton of stories about him from the two years we were in school togehter. He was a real character! I still remember him yelling at me through the magaphone he had attached to his Jeep on the way home from school. No one can imagine losing a son or brother who was so young. My prayers are with Tina, Katie and the rest of Taylor's family and dear friends.
ReplyDeleteTaylor was such a fun, easy-going person to be around, and my heart sank when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteTina and Katie, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain you're feeling. Please know you're loved. Hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who still remembers your families shining faces way back in the internet cafe challenge in season 2, to see the children all grown up now from way back, it just makes this hard for us true fans of the show. I cant even imagine how hard this is for you. My heartfelt condolences to Tina, Katie and the entire Collins family and to everyone whose life Taylor has touched. Truly tragic news.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteTina, Katie, and the rest of your family, Taylor was a good friend of mine. I haven't seen him since he moved from Knox but my family and I have missed him very much. To hear this news is heart breaking. My 6 year old daughter Madelin loves Taylor, they were buddies. This loss will be felt throughout my entire family. Its rare you meet someone with a heart as big as his. All our prayer go out to your family.
ReplyDeleteDanny Machette and the Machette family.
Tina & Katie, Taylor was a very close friend of our family & helped my 13 year old grandson at a very hard time in his life. He was so very special to us. In the past couple of years that we spent with him & his sweet girlfriend Brittany, we grew to love him very much. We are heartbroken & cannot fathom that he is gone, but his beautiful smile will live on forever in our hearts & minds. So sorry for your great loss & praying for you.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry Tina and Katie...God comfort you in this time of such sorrow.

We meet the 2nd Sunday of every month in the Second Methodist Church located @ 2846 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville 37917 ph. 865-687-2117 This number is to the compassionate friends group not the church. Also the Compassionate Friends are not affiliated with the Church.
ReplyDeleteCorrection for the address of Compassionate Friends meeting it is at the Methodist Church but the one on Western Ave near the Medic Bldg.
