Little Tanner's earthly light will be missed. Lori and Steve, may you find comfort in fond memories of Tenner. Your love is the reason he smiled so brightly.

To the Family of Tanner, I would like to proudly express that I was in the very first class of the very-first- original "Middlesex" Elementary School in the 1950's! So Tanner and I were Alumni! Although (being in my latter 60's) I was just doing my weekly checking of the local obituaries, I was especially drawn to Tanner's bright smile. I loved the video, the love of Jesus he represented, and I will know him when I arrive in Heaven! Feel blessed for God lending him to you for a brief enough period to affect me (and I am sure,many,many others is his brief assignment here on earth! God Bless you all, Denny Ruth
