Our deepest sympathy is with you at this very difficult time and words are hard to find.

It was a pleasure to know Tennys and we were very very sad to hear of her passing.

Even though time has slipped away and we all get busy with our lives, she will remain in our hearts forever. We have fond memories of her from when Riley and our girls were younger and would get together and play.

Now that they are all young ladies we hope that they can give some support to Riley.

May Tennys rest in peace.

We pray for all to have the strength to ease the pain.

Each night we shed a silent tear,
As we speak to you in prayer.
To let you know we love you,
And just how much we care.
Take our million teardrops,
Wrap them up in love,
Then ask the wind to carry them,
To you in heaven above.

An Angel among us that has been called home.
Those who weave colour into our lives leave us with a tapestry of beautiful memories; and I have an immense one.
Lost to us but will never be forgotten.

They say when a life is taken, a new life is born. May the new life have Tenny's courage and strength; her loving and giving heart; the beautiful smile that radiates warmth and welcome to all. To Riley and Chelsey, look out at the stars every night and the brightest one is your Mom shining down at you.

It's hard to believe
You are no longer here,
We think of you,
You feel so near,
In some small way, every single day,
Memories of you come our way.

Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

Tennys you will always be in our thoughts, and forever in our hearts. Rest in Peace sweet Tennys.
