Not sure what to say?

What a gift you brought to this world ...knew you since I was 19 and you were 17. You had so much to teach us all . Will miss you forever..

My sympathy goes out to the Family during this time of grief. May God's loving kindness comfort and help you through this difficult time.
Psalms 119:76

I only just found out by reading the paper that our dear friend Tanya has gone on. It's been many years since she first came out here to the bush to build her homestead and I remember them like yesterday.
Every river trip was an adventure and even the little chores were fun. Building the homestead was obviously one of her chief joys. We spent many hours talking on the c.b. together. We never got to see much of each other in person, but when we did, our get-togethers were always fun....

Our hearts go out to family and friend of Tanya Birleland. She will be remembered..
May God Bless you in this time of sorrow.

My heartfelt sympathy go out to the family and friends. May the Creator of the heaven and the earth Genesis 1:1. Give you comfort and peace during this most difficult time. Arlene NY.

Glad to have met Tanya and Rich through my niece Christy. What a strong, bubbly, funny, talented person! So much fun to be around. If she cooked for you, you knew you were loved!
