What kind I say about this beautiful young life that was taken away from us all much too soon?? I have so many memories of this sweet girl and of course her Momma one of my dearest friends. I've been blessed to have had Tawni in my life since she was almost 5...My daughter was only 8 days younger and they along with her Mom and I were quiickly bonded by friendshio forever. I watched her grow from this tiny little spitfire into a free spirited full of life beautiful young woman and devoted Mother herself to precious Rylee. Lifes struggles are no longer with her for she is now at peace but I'm struggling that the world is without this wonderful young woman who was a beautiful soul...Bright as the stars in the sky her spirit will forever shine as she continues to guard and protect her babygirl forever from Heaven. I love you Tawni and Melissa I love you more than you know along with Cass and Mikey and you will always be my family!! My prayers to you all!!
