Speaking on behalf of the family, Taylah’s sister Brytni Pearson said the family decided to donate Taylah’s organs and then discovered she was a registered donor.
“Even in death she still amazes us all,” she said.
“Some of her organs were too damaged but we are happy to say that Taylah has saved a few lives. One has her beautiful heart and three have her liver, one being a baby.”
