Tanya was a friend of mine and she will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to her family. I could not attend the services as I am out of town. Have a safe journey my fellow Marshal and keep us all safe.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Tanya's family. She always had a great sense of humor and I will always remember that. It is such a tragic loss when children lose their mother. Hope everyone stays strong and that your memories of her will comfort you.

Tanya was like a sister to me and I’m blessed to of had the pleasure of being part of her life. Even though I moved miles away Tanya would go out of her way to ask my family how I was doing, that really meant a lot. I never thought that in a blink of an eye she would be taken so tragically from our lives. Tanya will always be a big part of my memories I am greatful to of had the privilage to call her my friend. My heart goes out to the family and I hope you feel a little comfort in knowing that your mother/wife/sister has touched so many lives and she will never be forgotten.

It was a shock to hear of Tanya's death. God works in strange ways to take such a young & beautiful mother & friend from us. My deepest sympathies go out to you.

for the little time i knew tanya from working with her at the casino she was ver humoruos pretty much the life of the party. Always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. She always talked about her children and the fun they had when they were together.
One life many dreams, many angels up above, the creator only chooses the best and that she was.
the laughter shared the tears happiness and sorrow too will forever be remembered as will she.
a smile that lit up the sky, a laugh that was music to ears. the pain of letting her go will never end as the memories of who she was will always stay.
u will be missed greatly!

Tanya will always be remembered for remembering her high school classmates. I would run into Tanya at the fair or mall and she never hesitated to stop and chit chat. She was a friend to everyone.Her love for people will be missed by all who shared a laugh with her.
My prayers to all of her family and friends.
