CROWSHAW, Tamatha Jean
September 16, 1971 – August 28, 2013
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, wife, aunt, cousin, & friend, who passed away after a brave battle with Cancer. Survived by her wife Joelene, mother Debby (Bob), in-laws Pat & Robbin, James (Christina), Jodie, nieces & nephew Elizabeth, Hailey, Sarah & Austin. She will be sadly missed by many friends & family. Tamatha was born in Campbell River, BC and lived there off and on over the years. She eventually moved to Surrey, BC where she met her loving wife Joelene. Tamatha will be remembered for her love of animals, her humour, & her beautiful smile. Special thanks to Joelene's family for providing their love & support to Tamatha & Joelene.

My dear Tammy, I love you and miss you. I never did have a chance to tell you how you and your mom saved me and forever changed my life for the good. When I think of you I remember Freddy the ferret, Madonna songs, baseball, and you trying to do my puzzles on Sunday mornings...nothing but good memories. Until we meet again Slick.

when you look up at the sky at night, don't think of them as stars, but rather as porch lights, welcoming Tamatha home ...forever in our hearts.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Tamatha, I never "met" you, but I miss you so much. You and I had some great conversations on Facebook and I miss our late night chats. I am glad you are not in pain anymore, but selfishly I wish you back. My prayers are with Joelene in this difficult time.
