Taylor Behl

Someone took images and the comments from Taylor Behl's LiveJournal and put them in video set to music. Might be difficult to watch emotionally.

I cant get it to play uggggh.

[Dan]

Hit the play buttom on the on screen video monitor - it doesnt begin automatically.

[kin]

My RealPlayer isn't working. That's probably a good thing because I don't think I can take it. Natalee's still missing, Taylor's body parts were buried on her B-day, and now the love of Dan H's life is lost to him forever because another GOTH freak killed someone who didn't deserve to die.

Kin,
I agree the world's meanness doubles everyday.
The video is very sad, you watch it and suddenly Taylor is real, and the loss is real.
God bless her and her family. and may the pshyco get his judgment day too

[angela]

That is awesome.

[Stefani]

I watched the tribute. Beautiful. PLEASE see that a copy is given to the Mother, Janet P. This is too lovely to NOT share with her. I feel it will help to heal her pain and enable her to grieve and move forward with peace and dignity. PLEASE see that she gets it. I KNOW u can !

[cindi in pa]

PLEASE see that she gets it. I KNOW u can !

Steph, Taylors cousin posted under the video. She states how beautiful it is, and said Taylors mother thinks so as well.

I think curious posted the tribute link earlier in the week. I cried watching it and am not ready for that again! It is awesome and beautiful! Ironic that his pictures are being used--oh, well, I guess they are Taylors anyway! Beautiful girl! Look at that face, how do you hurt a "baby"?

[abigail]

Okay, okay, I could not resist looking at that beautiful girl again, so I watched it and tearing up...then I looked at the responses and found this of interest:

10/10: Man thanks for doing such a beautiful thing ...... 10.17.2005 @ 2:42pm
the song is absolutely awesome. very emotional, and absolutely blows me away. i am gonna try to say alot in a short space... here goes.... Ben Fawley is a friend, ,as are many of his friends... we are stunned. my lady and me have a curbside cafe in VCU, main st., we hadn't had taylor visit, but all 3 dudes to whom she was connected were people we know... 2 came up the day after telling us that they had been with her before she was first noted missing.... Ben being one of them. All of us are really sickened by his actions.... his daughter, one of them just my neice's age are friends and playmates of the girls.... we now know how sick Ben really is, just frustrated and angered as well as saddened by Taylor's innocently falling into his grip. A few of us are having to seek counseling over how Ben has messed with their heads. The whole situation absolutely blows us away. Such a beautiful girl both inside and out, she has touchd many whether or not her famly has been made aware or not... hope they get the chance top see this tribute you have done. The song is so damn good dude... the pipes and lyrics, the whole production is out of this world. Tears come to my eyes and my lady's we both saw. Damn what a tragic and astonishing situation the whole thing is. I wanna go and see Ben, just to be there for him, but I wonder which Ben i would be talking to, ya know?... we now are aware of how sick and disturbed the very cool fellow we all knew, actually is. But this is not about him, this is about the angel who he killed. My friend, thank you so much for the presentation you have made here.... it makes us smile in a time that they are few.... smiles.... i hope to god it helps the family to get a few in. BEHL FAMILY........ WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE THAT TRUE HAPPINESS IS MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU SOON.... PLEASE DONT LET THE SITUATION HARDEN YOU . STAND FIRM . LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS..... SENDING YOU ALL THE LOVE WE HAVE..... JAHN AND KAT FROM RICHMOND, THE MOBILE MUNCHIES PEOPLE.

Someone really took a lot of time and patient expression with this. Thanks for posting the video link Dan. For people having trouble getting it to start - it takes some time but it's worth the wait.

I am waiting for the video to download, for some reason Taylor and this case weighs heavy on my mind, it seems everyday my thoughts wander to her. I also wanted to mention that I picked up People Magazine today in the grocery line and flipped through it there is an article about her in there. I have not read it yet but I thought I would mention it in case anyone wanted to pick up the magazine and read it.

[abigail]

GW--I too find myself thinking about Taylor a lot. First thing in the morning I think about my own daughter and how blessed we are that she is happy, healthy, smart and beautiful, but then my mind swings to The Beautiful Taylor, because my heart aches for her and her family. I guess it's "her", she's a magnet in a way. Her smile, those innocent eyes...I don't know. I guess also is because I'm here in Richmond, so it's close to home. I used to run around down there in the fan when I was younger, and it probably was not that safe then either, but I was invincible! I'm not saying it's "dangerous", but yes, late night it's not as safe as "suburbia".

[Kinsey]

Im not sure whats going on but i link to the tribute,click on play,sony player opens ,says searching,then transferring,then it says done .even after several minutes i get nothing.is it me?

[sparky]

I think my heart may break into pieces. People die all the time without my knowledge, but this one's really getting to me. Why?

She was so beautiful and vibrant. He was so pathetic and broken. I guess it's only natural that the broken lash out at the beautiful. Sort of like terrorism. They can't have it, so they kill it. So sad. More tears. Cried out.

Rest in peace dear Taylor. Rest in peace.

Janet, I am so sorry you have to endure this. Please know your lovely daughter -- in her sacrifice -- has given all of us just a little more compassion and respect for young people and their struggles. I hope you find peace soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

[abigail]

Kinsey--

Not sure what's going on as I don't have sony player. I wish you could watch it! It's amazing!

[!]

That was a beautiful tribute for Taylor.

I had not trouble getting it to play.

God bless her mom and dad and family and friends always. She is with God now. :O)

[Kinsey]

oh wow thats beautiful.After such evil its does my heary good to see such kindness from a total stranger.That should be broadcast.

[Kinsey]

heart typo

[abigail]

Kin-

Glad you got it to work! It is beautiful and amazing!

[lulu]

I'm so sorry to know that her parents have lost their beautiful child. My brother and his wife lost their child at only seven years old a few years ago. I will never forget his wife telling me shortly thereafter that when people say "they were an angel" "you were blessed to have had such a beautiful child" and "they are in heaven in a better place now" it may help the people saying that to feel better and comforted but there is no comfort to ease the pain of the parents who have to go home day after day and try to live their lives knowing their child will never be back. This was so senseless and tragic and my heart aches for her parents.

[suniskye]

Wow ... what an emotional experience. I'm grateful you posted it to give me an opportunity to see the real side of this and not just the crazy things the media do. It made me cry and touched my heart deeply.

I give Ben Fawley's friend who posted above alot of credit for doing so. You can feel his emotions in what he has said and feel the honesty there. I hope everyone involved can heal ... Fawley's children will suffer thru this also ... he has hurt and stabbed the hearts of many ppl by doing what he did, even those that cared about him.

[Isanah]

Wonderful tribute to Taylor, The video took a long time to load, I'm glad it finally did. Very moving and the song chosen was beautiful.

[Bob]

I have a wonderful friend with two daughters, one almost 3 the other about 8 months or so. Just the other day Presley (the three year old) decided to play the "magic marker game" and drew all over herself, head to toe. Her mother sent me photos. I have to be honest people, it was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. She had on her little Elmo shirt. She's the cutest little girl. But she looked so scared having pictures taken! I think maybe she was afraid she did something wrong, that's why she was getting pictures taken. But that day, I didn't feel like she did anything wrong at all. I felt bad I asked for pictures, because I have a conscience. And I think, here's a cache of memories building up and she's only three. How precious!
And I wonder, how it would feel to have that cache build for 17 years and have it wiped out by some worthless nobody asshole for no reason. No reason at all. After all those memories fill up your heart, to have this piece of shit say you didn't know your daughter, that she was mischievious, that she liked her sex hard and rough. My God. The horror.
I liked the Taylor tribute, but unfortunately I don't think anything in this world can make up for her mother's loss. I can't fathom in my wildest nightmare what that feels like.
But I'll say this: I'll try to make a difference in someone's life. I'm going on three weeks now, and I still wake up and think, let's try to make the world a little better than it was yesterday.
I think maybe I'll buy Presley some more magic markers. Creative expression is a good thing, right?

[lori]

What a beautiful tribute. It really brings you closer to this beautiful girl. How frustratingly tragic that this young woman will never have a husband, children, a life. Such a beautiful soul... To Taylor's Family--"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26 NRSV)

[lulu]

Bob-

I think that is the best tribute that any of us can pay in the face of such an uncomprehensible loss. Which is to realize that life is precious and fragile, to keep that in mind as we go on with ours, and to try to be a better person and to do something kind and good as a memorial to those who were taken from this earth and their loved ones far too soon. The kindness and goodness doesn't have to be doing something huge, it can be buying a little girl new markers, letting someone in front of you in traffic when your first impulse is to speed up to hurry and get home, dropping off a new toy for "toys for tots" at Christmas or smiling at someone who looks like they haven't seen a smile in a while. God bless!

[Mac]

We are all fragile
remember Taylor.
Be smart and careful,
live well, and
know when to leave.
Goodbye, baby.
We know, and
we love your more.

[Leanna Samuels]

I do not know her personally, but publically i see her as a beautiful young women whose life was cut short. I am sending love and hugs and kisses to the Behl family.Please stay srong,Taylor's story will impact others in a good way.IT DID FOR ME.

[Mary Lucille Behl Whipple]

I am trying to find out if this beautiful young lady is in any way related to me? Either way, I am so very sorry for your loss. My father was Frank E. Behl and is buried in Arlington Cemetery in D.C. I know that I had an uncle named John Behl from the Virginia area but we were only in contact when my father passed away. Such a beautiful young lady, a life cut way too short and a family left mourning her loss. I can only hope that God brings you peace in your heart.
