OBITUARIO Con gran pesar, celebramos la vida de Taylor Jessica Wilkinson, amada hija, hermana, nieta y amiga. Taylor, nacida el 26 de mayo de 2004 en Boston, hija de Carmen M. Wilkinson y Trevor M. Wilkinson, fue una persona excepcional cuya amabilidad, compasión yespíritu siempre serán recordados.

Taylor deja atrás a su padre, Trevor M. Wilkinson, su madre, Carmen M. Wilkinson, su hermana mayor, Carlee M. Wilkinson, y su hermana gemela, Tyler P. Wilkinson. También la extrañan profundamente su abuela, Patricia Wilkinson, su abuelo, Jessie Carter, su abuela, Celia M. Alicea, y un cercano grupo de tías, tíos, primos y familiares extendidos que siempre estuvieron a su lado.

Graduada con orgullo de la Escuela Secundaria Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers y estudiante de Fisher College, Taylor se dedicó a seguir sus sueños con pasión y propósito. Sin embargo, más allá de sus logros académicos, fue su corazón generoso hacia los demás lo que la definió. Taylor dedicó gran parte de su tiempo al servicio comunitario, como consejera en formación en los Programas Juveniles de St. Stephen’s y ofreciendo su energía y bondad en St. Vincent’s. Tocó las vidas de muchos con su empatía, su capacidad para escuchar y su inquebrantable dedicación para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor.

La familia expresa su profunda gratitud por la avalancha de amor, apoyo y bondad de todos aquellos que han mostrado su solidaridad durante este difícil momento. Su apoyo ha sido una fuente de fortaleza y ha significado mucho para ellos.

Aunque ya no está con nosotros en cuerpo, el legado de Taylor vive en cada vida que tocó, en cada corazón que calentó y en los innumerables actos de bondad que inspiró. Su memoria siempre estará con nosotros, como un faro de amor y luz que nunca se apaga.

Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar, Taylor, siempre permanecerás en nuestros corazones.

Gracias por compartir tu amor con nosotros y por hacer de este mundo un lugar más brillante.

OBITUARY With heavy hearts, we celebrate the life of Taylor Jessica Wilkinson, a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend. Taylor, who was born on May 26, 2004, in Boston to Carmen M. Wilkinson and Trevor M. Wilkinson, was a beautiful soul whose kindness, compassion, and spirit will forever be remembered.

Taylor leaves behind her father, Trevor M. Wilkinson, mother, Carmen M. Wilkinson, her older sister, Carlee M. Wilkinson, and her twin sister, Tyler P. Wilkinson. She is also deeply loved and missed by her grandmother, Patricia Wilkinson, her grandfather, Jessie Carter, her grandmother, Celia M. Alicea, and a close-knit family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members who were always at her side.

A proud graduate of Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers High School and a student at Fisher College, Taylor was committed to following her dreams with passion and purpose. But more than her academic achievements, it was her heart for others that defined her. Taylor devoted much of her time to serving the community, volunteering as a counselor-in-training at St. Stephen’s Youth Programs and offering her energy and kindness at St. Vincent’s. She touched the lives of many with her empathy, her ability to listen, and her unwavering dedication to making the world a better place.

Taylor's family is profoundly grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and kindness from all who have reached out during this time. Your care has been a source of strength, and it has meant the world to them.

Though she is no longer with us in body, Taylor's legacy lives on in every life she touched, in every heart she warmed, and in the countless acts of kindness she inspired. Her memory will always be with us, a beacon of love and light that will never fade.

Until we meet again, Taylor, you will forever remain in our hearts.

Thank you for sharing your love with us, and for making this world a brighter place.
