To Tania and the Tatum Family: Romay will be remembered for her strong dedication to her family, her work and her sense of humor. Through her trials she always maintained a smile every time I saw her. Just as much as she will be missed, she will always be remembered for the great woman she was. May you find peace in her eternal comfort.
