Hi Princess , I didn't ever get the pleasure to meet you but , I just wanted to say I'm sorry ... I looked through your profile and can see all your love for others and their love to you . I to have been suffering from this disease since about eleven and I'm now 40 where does the time go ? I to know the pain that you were prob feeling, this isn't what any of us had planned for us I'm sure . Hate seeing bad things happening to such amazing people I also wear my heart on my sleeve ♥. I believe that every time one of us leaves this earth another is born ,who ever took your place he or she I'm sure would have to be pretty special to fill up those shoe's....... Take care of all the ones that love you so much and try and guide them all to safety, let them know that you are OK and your not in pain God bless you ......... Wish me luck xoxo

Oh Tanita, how you will be missed. By so so so many. I know you and I never got incredibly close; but you had a tremendous impact on me as a person. Your voice and melodies have still brought tears to my eyes, and now they will forever. It was us singing together that had allowed me to use my own voice. You were so ridiculously talented, If i could sing with you one last time... I wish so badly you could have seen yourself through our eyes. You will be eternally loved Tanita.
