Tifani was an amazing friend and a beautiful soul. We were truly blessed to know her. She loved all animals- from her white rats, to those ferrets (who popped my inflatable chair and bit me when I wasn't looking), to her beloved Maverick. She never had an unkind word, and always had a smile. I am blessed to have had her as a close friend and roommate.

I don't have enough words to express how sorry I am for the loss of Tifani. She was the most beautiful and positive person I have ever known. She taught me so much. Because of her I know I am a better mother, wife, and daughter. I could not be that without her. I am so glad that I got to share a part of hers and your lives. And honored to say in the end we are best friends. I love her always and will miss her deeply.
