Lorna, I am deeply saddened to hear of Tanya's untimely passing. I will always remember my adolescent years with Tanya, and the wonderful memories of summer camp, rollerskating, and sleepovers. She was a brilliant, and tender-hearted girl. You both touched my life in a permanent and loving way that I have never forgotten. She was an extraordinary person. I wish you peace, comfort and healing.

Dear Lorna,We were both shocked and saddened buy the news of Tanya's passing. I remember the first time I met Tanya when Kristen brought her home after school in the second grade.Her smile and her smiling eyes and enthusiasm captured my heart instantly. You are an exceptional mother who always put her daughter first. I always admired your relationship with Tanya, the bond you shared was like no other. People come and go in our lives, and we will be forever blessed for having the opportunity to have had Tanya in our lives years ago. God is now taking very good care of your Tanya and she is resting peacefully in his arms. Madelyn and Paul Fortier and Family.

Dear Ms. Clement, I am so saddened to hear of your beloved Tanya's passing. Tanya was one of my most special students-- bright, curious, hard-working, full of fun and good spirits, always ready to offer her thoughts and analysis in English class and deeply respected by her peers. I vividly remember her talking to me about the passion you and she shared for old movies, and the depth of closeness you shared. She indeed enjoyed many successes at and beyond MHS. I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
