For the little time that I've known Tiffany, she was nothing but a burst of sunshine. I can't help but to hear her wonderful voice as she walked across the yard. GOD took a great person. I am glad to have been in her presence for just one moment. May GOD bless your family with love and support. My prayers will always be with you.

Hey Tiff,

Just wanted to let you know I will miss you and always think about you. And I'll especially miss harassing you in class. It seems that the good are always the ones to go first. I knew you were going to be successful. All I can think about are times we talked. Be good in heaven even though I know you are because you are a True angel.

With Love,

Sharlyn

Marilyn,



Tiffany was a joy! To know her was to love her. Whenever I speak of you to Benjamin I refer to you as Tiffany's momma. Tiffany left an impression on everyone she met. I can still hear her yelling thru the telephone every morning in your office, "Hey Mrs. Martin!" I'll miss her more than I can say. Just know that my prayers and thoughts are with you, Don, and Brian. I'm here whenever you need me.

Mr. and Mrs. Davenport,

It is easy to get discouraged when things seem to be going bad. But don't lose heart because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. God says in Hebrews 13:5, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." He will comfort you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We too will remember Tiffany.

When I was informed of this information, I wasn't sure of who it was until I heard the name. A name that stayed in my head for some reason. I did not have a personal relationship with Tiffany Davenport, it was more like in the passing. During her freshmen year, I had a chance to take college Algebra with her. She always knew all of the answers and was always willing to help others. I was a junior at the time, I knew then that Tiffany had to be an angel or determined to successed. I always saw her smiling, or overheard her talking about her mother and brother. To her family, I wish you the best during these hard times. Never forget just like you saw your child as an angel sent from above, so did some of her peers here at Prairie View A@M University.



LaKatheryn Shaw and the Brothers and Sisters of Sigma Tau Theta sends our heart felt love and sympthay out to you and your family.

Nurse, I offer my deepest, most heartfelt condolences to you, Don, Brian and the rest of your family. As part of your Anderson family, I feel such a great loss. You and I were laughing and talking about Tiffany last Wednesday. She was truly a gift from GOD. I'll miss her and your updates about her progress in school, etc. We've celebrated her graduation, scholarships, excellent report cards...the list goes on and on. Please know you're not alone. GOD is with you and I pray the comfort that only HE can bring for you and your family during this time. Know that Tiffany was and is loved by all who knew her. We learn that only what we do for Christ will last and that you know how someone lived by the impact his/her life has on others...Well, we know by all of the many prayers, calls, visits and words about Tiff that she truly touched many lives and lived her life in a manner that others can follow. It only took her 19 years to leave a great legacy on earth! I love you always...

To the family of Tiffany Davenport

God does not make mistakes. He allowed such a beautiful flower to enter my life. She had a big bright smile with bold brown eyes. She was always different and had no problem with it. I had to love her because she would not have it any other way. On Friday, my flower was picked to the return to the garden and I will miss her. Thank you to the family for sharing her. And thank you Tiffany for entering my life and allowing me to enjoy the beauty of your love and life.





With Love Always,
