Tia and I were like two peas in a pod. She taught me her wonderful cooking skills and recipes, and we had some great laughs meanwhile. She loved staying over and I loved having her around. She was a wonderful person with a warm heart and a sense of humor. There are just not enough words that could describe my love for her and how much I miss her.

Tia, I will always remember our color coded dots!!! I get peace knowing that you are now with your sisters that you missed so much!

Love you always!!! I will hold on to our wonderful memories and you will always have a special place in my heart.

Tia will always have a special place in my heart, she was the first person in the family to accept me and welcome me. I will never forget Thanksgiving dinner at her house, just thinking about it, I can still smell everything. I have many great memories of Tia, both at her house and ours, sitting around the table having coffee and laughing, cooking and picking on each other, hearing about her life. And I remember she always got mad if I didn't come give her a kiss, so she was always the first person I went looking for.

I'll miss her, but will celebrate her life and try to make her proud. I am glad to have known her as long as I did, but even that was too short. The world is a worse place without her here, but its nice to think she is up there watching over me.

I love you Tia, and will miss you always.

Ludi was a sweet person, and we always enjoyed her company at get-togethers. She was admired by many people, and had many accomplishments in life. And she did a great job raising a wonderful son, our friend Dave.
