I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
Now all I have is memories
And your photo in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which I'll never part
God has your in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
* * *
A mother when my mother couldn't be there, I'll always keep you in my memory.
I love you.

Tanya,
You are so much more than a friend to me you were truly a sister to me. I can remember the childhood that we shared, then the teen years and on into adulthood. I truly always thought that you would always be just a phone call away. I miss you today and forever and just wish I could pick up the phone to call you. I will always remember how radiant and happy you looked in the nail salon on 10-19-09 as you were telling me of the trip you were getting ready to take. RIP TANYA "MY SISTER"
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
SISSY

Dear Tanya and Family,

I was an oncology patient of Tanya's.
O how SPUNKY and WITTY. I appreciated her truthfulness and honesty that helped me cope with all that was ahead of me. We would have our little conversations on how to look at the world. I am always going to think about "what would tanya say about this!" and know that she would have made sense out of it and some humor mixed in as well. To Tanya and her family, prayers from the soul are all around you. Bless the souls that have gone ahead and bless the souls that are still here to help others remember how very special and loved you and McKenzie are.

Tanya was such a nice person. I enjoyed talking with her at work or when I would see her out and about. My husband loved to kid around with her and she always made him laugh. Tanya and John and their children have made such an impact on my Mom and Dad's lives. Tanya and McKenzie will be sorely missed. John has been very good to my family. We will all surround him with love and support. If there is anything we can do let us know and we will be right there. You are constantly in our thoughts.

Dorothy and John,
You are all in our prayers. May God guide you all and give you strength during this most difficult time.
Tanya was an awesome nurse and mother. I am sure she is still looking out for her oncology patients in heaven now.
I remember McKenzie at the ball park asking for stuff from the concession stand and Ray was always right there to spoil her like papas do. You could tell they had a special relationship. We will pray for you all as you get through the next few days and the future. God bless!

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

We will miss your spunk and your smile. You impacted so many lives. We love you and miss you!
