Lost and, now, found.
Action News Jax told you on Friday about Franklin Ritch's mission to return a video he found in a VCR he bought his grandmother at the Jacksonville Beach Goodwill.
That family is finally getting back those memories from more than 20 years ago.
The video showed a baby named Taylor’s memories from 1996: her first birthday, walking, Halloween and Christmas.
Action News Jax asked you to share the video on Facebook and, within hours, you found Taylor’s family.
Regina Runge’s friend saw the Facebook post and thought Taylor looked familiar.
“Oh my God, I started looking at the pictures and it was her! I just was flabbergasted,” said Runge.
On Monday, Ritch returned the VHS to Runge at her Ponte Vedra Beach home.
“Thank you so much. I appreciate this so much. This is so priceless,” said Runge.
Taylor is now 21 now and lives in Colorado.
“Wow! She’s got a lot more hair now,” said Ritch when he saw her photo.
As for Taylor’s mom, she’s not taking any more chances.
“I’m changing it into a DVD immediately,” Runge said. 

Do you recognize this adorable 1-year-old girl? Is your name Taylor, and are you around 21 years old? A local man...
