Its almost been 8 months since our Lord decided to take you home. I miss you Tiff. I thought about you all weekend long while staying in Flagstaff. I wish you and I would have made memories there however, I never got the chance to visit you in college and for that I am deeply saddened. Lucky for me we were able to share lots of happy moments as teens. I Love and Miss u sooo much!!!

Tiff,
As it comes close to the three week mark since you left this Earth, all I am left to remember is how beautiful of a woman you were. You could make anyone laugh and your smile could light up a room. We spent so many wonderful years together which I will truly cherish for the rest of my life. You were the definition of what a "sister" should be. I know God puts people in our life for certain reasons...reasons that sometimes only he knows. But I do realize that you were put in my life to make me a better, stronger person. I will miss you more than you'll ever know Tiff.
To Tiff's family: I know that no words can help heal the pain that you are all going through right now, but I want all of you to know that we are praying for your entire family every day. Thank you for teaching Tiff what it means to be a strong, loving, compassionate woman. She will truly be missed by everyone she touched.

Tiffanie, Everyday your smile is in my heart and how blessed I am to have a sister-in-law like you. Every memory I have is such a pleasant one especially the sisterly talk in Rocky Point that was a very special bonding moment for me and one that left an impression forever. You have accomplished more in your 23 years than most of us do in a lifetime and now reading all of the passages it is quite obvious that you have touched so many of us that we can see that your accomplishments are eternal. Thank you for being such a part of all of our lives, if only each of us can touch even one person in the way you have touched so many.
I love you so much!

In Memory of Tiffanie R. Lewis, her Mom Carol Reed

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Tiff,
How time flies. Seem like yesterday I remember you, driving like a Nascar driver! You left good memories from the good ol Mesa Jr days to Mesa High to everyone that came in contact with you. Special condolences to Steven and his family. Death is not an end but a new beginning. We know that we will see ya again.

Tiffanie was a great person with a great heart. As Julie stated in high school you always saw her with a smile. Although we did not talk much the few classes that I had with her she made her presence known.

With all of her accomplishments it is easy to see that her impact on the people that she helped was and is greatly appreciated and unfortunate that she will be unable to touch any other hearts. My prayers go out to Steven and her family.

I couldn't believe it when I heard Tiffanie had gone to a better place, so young and full of life. It made me realize that we take life for granted, and we need to live it just like you did! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a short and beautiful life. Tiffanie was a sweet person and I am grateful to have known her. I have some memories in high school and even though we weren't close, I always remember her having a smile. Never had I seen her without one. To her family and Steven, I keep you in my heart and prayers through this hard time. Hold onto the memories forever and don't let go.

I do not know Tiffanie at all. However, from reading these entries I am touched. Tiffanie was very loved and spread much happiness/love to those around her. She lived her life as God wishes all of us would. Be grateful, Be happy, be your best, love others... to say a few. Those who were able to know her and share her memory are very blessed. How very touching to see the beautiful picture others paint by sharing memories of Tiffanie. If everyone could be more like her this world would be a much better place.

What a sweet spirit you are. I will truly cherish the time I had getting to know you at Mesa High. You were nothing but sweet and kind to all you came in contact with. In my year book you wrote to me "your happy smile has made my day so great." Well I don't know about my smile, but I know Tiffany's touched the lives of many. I have not seen Tiffany in a couple of years but the sound of her laugh I will never forget. I pray that your family and friends have peace and your legacy lives on forever. Carry On.

Tiffanie and I went to Junior High and High school together, she was such a great person. I am deeply saddened by the loss of her. I know she has touched many lives, and I'm thankful to be one of them. A good memory from high school is when Tiffany was trying to find a prom dress, and decided she was going to have one made. I told her she would look good in a certain design, and I drew it out for her. She actually used my design to make the dress. She made me feel worthy and she looked gorgeous that night. To her family, I hope that you see that Tiffany will live on in the great memories we have of her.

Tiffany, I am so saddened I never got to see you after your visits to California. I never even got to send you the pictures. I have been meaning to track you down for the longest time and I let life get in the way. Now I hear that you are no longer with us and my stomach is just in knots. I should have tried harder to find you. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. You always had a way of making people feel welcomed and like you had known them your whole life. I will always keep you in my heart.

I've known Tiffanie since we were 12 yr old beehives at church. She was always a really fun person to be around..I was bummed that we didnt keep in touch after she moved out of the ward after high school. In Young Womens she held many leadership positions, was always very service-minded and always ready to help people (when hearing about her career field she was going into ... it doesnt suprise me, she was always serving others:)Heavenly Father obviously needed her for a really good reason.. because of how quickly he took her! My condolances go out to Tiffanie's family! She is the kind of person that will definitely be missed!

I did not know Tiffanie for very long, but I was fortunate enough to have met her this year and was certainly touched by her spirit. She loved her family, her friends, and people in general. Tiffanie, you will be greatly missed by myself, as well as many others in our counseling program...A supportive clap or applause will never quite be the same. With Love.

Today God, you've taken away a person that many of us loved dearly.
Now our lives will be changed forever and that is a burden we all will have to bear.

All we ask is that you take good care of her because now she is in your hands.
and to help those of us still here to understand.

We know that she is going to be with us every step of the way
And at times things may get tough and we may not know what to say,

That's when we will think of you and what you might say.
Tiffanie Renee Lewis, we know that you would want us to continue on and be strong

Trust me, we will try our best even though it all seems completely wrong.
As we prepare to say our final Good-bye the tears begin to flow,

We now know that the healing process will be slow.
By the grace of God we know that we can work through this if we all stick together,

For we all know that the pain we feel is not forever.
Yes, we have our good days and bad days,

When people ask how we are doing we don't know what to say.
Yes the tears are still there,

Only because we lost someone who really cared.
As we look for you in all the places you normally are,

We begin to realize that you aren't very far.
Your where you've always been in our heart,

Which lets us know that our lives will never be dark.
God we ask you to help us through these tough times,

and to let us know that we will be just fine.
You left many task undone,

And your shoes no one can fill, I mean, no one.
As the days go by it's getting easier and easier to smile,

Because you left so many good memories that can and will go for miles.
The pain is becoming less and less,

With you and God looking down on us we feel truly blessed.
Yes we miss you,

and that is very true.
Now you're in God's hands,
And that's something we'll have to understand.

Tiff~
We may not have spent a lot of time together, but the times we did were great! You WILL be missed by everyone.
Love,

Shadow Steward

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
