To the Family,
I'm sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. A word of comfort in your time of sorrow Isa 25:8 - "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces." My prayers to you and your family.

Thank you!
The family of Tisharria M. Huggins-Wright wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming gestures of condolence during this difficult time of loss.

It is a testimony to all of the people Tisharria touched during her short life here on earth.

Thank you and may God bless each and every one of you!

Sharon, I just heard of the tragic passing of Tisharria. I know that your faith in God will guide you through this. I am so sorry. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

March 5, 2011

I do not know Tisharria but I do remember her from WSU and I wish this family all the peace, love and blessings...and whatever it takes to get through this. I am crushed for you. Know that the Lord must have needed a special angel for something very important...or maybe this saved her from something worse (if possible). I don't know. Grandma said 'we'll understand it by & by".
Just be good to yourself and each other, that's what she'd want...
Aloha 4ever.

Dear family and friends,

May you have hope and faith (as I do) from the promise of Jesus to bring our dead loved ones back to this earth under his future kingdom rule. At that time, there will be no more sickness, pain, or death, according to the sacred scriptures. May you all find comfort and strength from your prayers, love, closeness, and from relying on our loving Creator, his son, and their wonderful future promises.

Tisharria, you will definitely be missed. During times of loss, people usually talk about how good the person was and so on. However, in this case, we really did lose a good person. I went to high school with Tisharria and she was ALWAYS positive and had that great smile on her face. To the family, I pray that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will comfort you in your loss.

The news of Tisharria's death broke my heart. I remember her when she was younger... prob middle school. You all lived across the street from us. Tisharria spent many hours shooting baskets with me and the other girls in my driveway. She was amazing little girl with so much "spunk". No wonder you all called her that. I enjoyed hearing about her at West and seeing her name in the news. My heart is heavy that her life ended so early. She had so much ahead of her. You all will be in my prayers in that hope that peace finds you soon as you put your lives back together without her here. I know she will be watching and loving you from above.

February 24, 2011

I remember watching Tisharria play basketball at West while my daughter was attending school there. I enjoyed her enthusiam and tenacity while playing. I didn't know her personnally but my daughter commented that she was such a sweetheart and made a point to acknowledge everyone she passed. I just wanted to express my sympathy to her family and friends. In the memories you cherish, may there be so much goodness and love that they will offer comfort when you need it most. May God be with you all!

To the Huggins-Wright Family,
I am so deeply sorry to hear the tragic news about Tisharria. My heart goes out to you for your unbearable loss. The loss of a child is one of the most devastating experiences a person can face. It may seem like a part of yourself is gone. Maybe at times the feelings can be overwhelming. But, remembering all the wonderful memories you shared together helps to give you some comfort. And most of all, may the God of Love, comfort you all with His promise of Hope for the future. Hope, will not take away your pain, but it will help you to endure it day by day, day by day, etcl........
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will sickness nor suffering nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things NEW......."

Sharon, Darryl, Rodney, her lovely Husband, Tracy and family, My eyes are filled with tears as I write this. I want to thank the Lord for sharing Tisharria with us, even though it was such a short time. She touched many lives with a smile, her charisma, and her gentle and kind ways. Tisharra was a precious gift from God above,so much beauty, grace and love. She touched our hearts in so many ways, her smile so bright. She heard God's whisper calling her home. So she gave her hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with the love you have for each other you all will be together again some day.
I love you guys very much.

To Reis and the Huggins Family. As we look back, it is difficult to see how or when life on this side will cease. We must thank God for each moment He has granted us. We have questions in which there is no answers. We must thank God for the memories and blessings he has granted to each of you. Tisharria was a young lady whom has touched many lives and will continue to touch for years to come. You have my family prayers and thoughts in these days to come. Be thankful for the memories.

Sharon and Darryl,
Wow! I'm just lost for words and cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear about the tragic loss you have endured. Your daughter was beautiful internally and externally. I remember how she always had a smile on her face whenever I saw here. She enjoyed life to the fullest. Sharon you brought that type of joy to her because you were like that in school and your adult life. Darryl she had your competitive spirit. Always remember the what a fantastic human being she was. My family will keep you in our prayers.

David Douglas

February 23, 2011

Daryl and Sharon, Words cannot express the lose of a child.As you may have heard my son David went to be with the Lord not to long ago. I was lost the pain from this loss will never leave me, but I do know a man that will be able to comfort you that is are Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Ive have came to believe that angels do walk this earth and why God calls them home we may never understand. Tisharria by far was a angel on earth just like David they touch many lives the joy of knowing the people these young kids touch makes the day a little easier to get through. This like I came to learn trust in the Lord and he will make everything alright. Cry out to him on the days and nights that the pain is to much bear and he will hear you. I know this is what has helped me.In the quiet of the night tell God just how you feel even when I was angry at him he still understood that is want kind of GOD WE SERVE. He will walk with you all the way throuh this.As parents we want are kids to make a impact on the world and it sound like Tisharria carried this out. My prayers are with you and may God bring you peace if only for the moment. Your Friend In Christ David W Douglas Sr
