We love you and are so proud of your tall red headed awesomeness. The best life advice probably comes from your favorite shows, “pivot….pivot… Pivot!” And “I wish there was a way to know that you are in the good old days before you have actually left them“ Time to go out and make some new good old days 🙂
Taesha Garner
Taesha GarnerCentury High School
Taesha you have always been the beacon of bright light in all that you do. Rather it was volunteering in tge community as Miss Gate City’s Outstanding Teen, or being an exemplary leader as Cheer Captain of your cheer team, or helping your brothers out, or being the best Auntie to your nephew. You have done it all with style, grace, compassion, and kindness. You have started and lit a magnificent path for yourself to do great things and although the end of Senior Year is not what you had hoped you have been a true beacon of light for future generstions to come. I can not wait to see how you will light this world on fire with grace. We love you Taesha . Love mom, yiur brothers, sister , grandma and grandpa and EZ.
