To Tira's family,
I am so sorry to hear this! I was an aide of Tira's at Brookland Middle. I remember many times taking her to the clinic and tried to visit her at the hospital once. Chelsea would keep me updated on her when she went to herm. Tira was such a joy to be around. She had a wonderful soul! She will always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tira-Lee, you were such a beautiful and graceful dancer while in the dance program and I am sure you are still dancing with the angels in heaven.

Dear Lenore,
I truely cannot express to you how sorry I am for your loss. Tira was a student of mine at Hermitage, and had one of the most beautiful personalities I have ever known. During the last week of school we exchanged hugs, I wished her a wonderful summer and told her I looked forward to seeing her next year. She said "I love you Mrs. Stanley, and Thank You for all your help this year." She will never know how much those words meant to me. I will always remember her. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Beverly Stanley, Hermitage High School

Tyra was my daughter, Chelsea, best-friend since 7th grade at Brookland MS. They were "two peas in a pod". It was my family absolute pleasure in meeting Tyra, she was a very mannerable, polite, and comical young lady who saw the inner beauty in people. She will be forever miss, but we can count on her being Chelsea's Angel in spirit.

Lenore,
My words are not adequate to express the sorrow that I feel for your loss. Life does not make sense sometimes and losing someone as young and loving as Tira is so tragic. Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. My heard aches for you and your family during this time.
