- A weekend camping trip ended in tragedy for 10-year-old Taylor Thornton, identified on Monday as one of at least 23 people killed by the deadliest U.S. tornadoes in more than five years.

“She never met a stranger - everybody was a friend,” her uncle said. “She had a huge life at 10 years old. She had a footprint bigger than most people who are 70-, 80-, 90-years-old.” When Taylor did not return home after church on Sunday, her father, David, drove to the friend’s house looking for her. He found his daughter’s body amid the wreckage of the home, James Thornton said.

“She made friends easily,” Cox said in a phone interview. “She made everybody around her better just by knowing her.”
