I may not write here since my own language is not English and I do not want to make this guest book look silly with my broken language, but my love towards Tiffany would make me do it. I first met her in 2009 somewhere in Vancouver and not only her beauty, but also her positive character caught my heart ever since. Tiffany, I still love and think of you.
Hope you have good life over there too. I will never forget you.

I'll always remember being a shy and awkward grade 8 student and Tiffany was a beautiful, friendly, and popular grade 9. One day she dropped her pencil and I picked it up for her her and she said the most kind thank you and referred to me by my name even though we had never been introduced. She made me feel so special and I know she made so many others feel special too. she will never truly be gone because her wonderful spirit will always be with us. I know she is in a better place now. And we all must remember her kindness and pass it on to others. Thank you for your incredible warmth Tiffany. You will never be forgotten.

Tiffany,
I never had the chance to get to know you. But the only things I've ever heard of you, were positive. I'm saddened to hear of your passing. Take care of yourself. You will be missed.

Tiffany was such a pure joy to know, such a pleasure to teach. Every remembrance brings a smile to my face. She brightened every corner of our school. Indeed she was "pure dynamite--her smile, her energy, her personality. She excelled in anything with a treble clef and was an all-star, multisport athlete who looked like a princess yet battled like a bulldog." Our deepest condolences to her family and many, many friends. She will be dearly missed by all of us at WPGA.

When I think of Tiffany I remember her infectious laugh, the beautiful songs she would sing through the hallways at school, and her dedication to the sports we played. She was one of the most welcoming and positive people I met when I first came to the school and joined the volleyball team. I can still remember her laughs and giggles on the bus on our way to tournaments, her cheers of encouragements during the games and her deep love for the sport. She is missed deeply. We have all been lucky to have had her touch our lives in one way or another. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. We love you Tiffany! xoxo

Tiffany and our daughter Maggie spent much time together around Grades 8/9, and we often had the pleasure of "Tif" at our home. A beautiful youg lady, Tiffany would warm an entire house with her sparkling smile and wonderful laughter.
We are deeply saddened by Tiffany's passing, and extend our hearfelt condolences to her parents and family.

I taught Tiffany in Grades 6 and 7. I remember her as a joy to teach with her quick smile, intelligence, athleticism, and her ability to light up the room. She was unique, and will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to her family.

While Tiffany and I were never friends, I am a regular at Joey's when I travel to BC from overseas.
You could not help but be impressed and so affected at such an electric smile and mischievous laugh. I will never forget it.
Tiff, the world is now at a loss with your passing, but all the richer for having you in it even for an all-too-brief period. There's now a chunk of goodness missing from so many people's day to day. But your time amongst us, and the example you showed us, will mean your impact will go on for ever.
You won't be forgotten.

Tiffany -
I taught you in grades 5-7 - and I will always remember your passion, your smile, your mischievous streak and your amazing ability to figure out things so quickly. You were one of those students that I can never forget because you made an impression on me. You will be missed....

Dearest Tiffany,
Although we were not close you were always special to me because you were my one and only cousin/niece. How amazing and weird is it that we could be related on both sides of our family. The times that we did get to spend together I always had a great time with you because of how free spirited you were and how happy you made everyone.
You were younger than me but I had always looked up to you in the way that your friends cherished you so much and how much your family loved you. You were a great, loveable and beautiful person. I hope that you have found peace and is happy. You will forever be missed and loved. I will never stop telling people you are my cousin/niece and how special you are to me.

If only there were more Tiffany's out there, this world would truly be a better place. What sticks out to me for "Aunt Tiffy" is her contagious laugh, her warming sense of humour and when she left Joey Broadway she left a note about everyone that she worked with and mentioned a special trait that each person had.. "make this person laugh you won't regret it" or "this person likes to talk in third person" just goes to show the way she viewed and appreciated people as unique individuals.
Miss you Tiffy!

Tiffany, what a shock it was to learn of your passing.
I always thought we would have more time together. I was looking forward to the time we would've spent later this year to get to know you better.
In my mind, you will always be the cute, chubby baby who loved to eat and grew into a beautiful young lady with many talents.

Tiffany my cousin. I know we didn't really spend much time together because you were in Vancouver while I was in Toronto. But every time I saw you I enjoyed spending time with you. I remember visiting you when you were a baby and sneaking up to your room wanting to have a peek at you while you were sleeping.
I have watched you grow up and become a beautiful young women. You made your parents very proud. You have been a great sister to both your sisters. Celia tells me how much of a great big sister you are to her and the great advice you would always give her.
I am heartbroken that you had to leave us. I was really looking forward to spending time with you this year. I wish we had more time to get to know each other. But I know we will see each other again. Until then little cousin I'll miss you and will always love you.

Your positive energy was always welcoming and inspirational. Hope you have found peace.

Tiffany, you left us too soon.
I hardly got to know you, my cousin that lived on the other side of the continent, my cousin who always seemed to post hilarious posts about food enjoyment, and pics of awesomely yummy food, my cousin who posted sometimes nostalgic family pics, sometimes duck-facey pics, sometimes model-material pics. You're my long lost cousin who I had met only twice in my life, but always had high hopes for because you always seemed to be driven and seemed to always be smiling (or making faces) and you were always surrounded by friends who loved your company.
I would always hear stories about how you helped open Joey's out here in Toronto, how you would visit your family out here, how you dropped your iPhone down the toilet for the 4th time, how you posted that video of you playing the piano and amazing all your friends, but still, you were the cousin I hardly knew, and I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to.
Although in a way, I did know you through the people you had touched through your life, the happiness and inspiration you brought to them, and that's how you'll live on, through the wonderful memories we all have of you.
I know I'll never truly understand why you left us, but I just hope that you knew that you were loved by everyone, no matter how near or far. We will miss you Tiffany.

Tiffany was smart, beautiful, caring and had the most contageous laugh. She had a smile that would light up a room and the ability to make every person in it feel loved and welcome. I can't express in words how heartbroken I am to hear that this amazing girl has left us. I can only hope she has made her way to a happier place and my thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

What can I say about Tiff that everyone doesn't already know. What an amazingly bright, caring and warm person, it was an absolute pleasure knowing and working with her. My condolences to her family..

I never knew Tiffany personally, however, I looked up to her. She was 4 grades above me at WPGA. Her brightness radiated through the hallways. As a volleyball player myself, I looked up to her on the courts also. My sincerest condolences to her loved ones. May she be smiling brightly and forever rest in peace.

Tiffany, you had a smile for everyone around you. You left us too soon, but gave us an example of how to live and create pools of joy.

I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany at Joey's. Even though we only worked together for a short period of time, she made a lasting impression on me, as I know she did with everyone she met. Her smile lit up every room she walked into. We are all better people for having her in our lives. My condolences are with her family and friends.

I worked with Tiffany for about a year and she was always the warmest, most positive person in the room. She could light up anyone's day; it was impossible to be in a bad mood around her. I had a huge amount of admiration for her and I know that she will be missed by many. My condolences are with her family.

Tiffany, was the biggest sweetheart I've ever met. She is, and was a true inspiration. What a rad person to have the fortune to be around. TIFF could light up an entire room with her smile and persona. I feel truly blessed to have met her. God bless Tifff tiff

Tiffany had a beautiful soul. She had an infectious personality and it saddens me that her beaming smile is no longer among us. Tiff, I love you, I miss you, and wish you a peaceful rest. <3

I had the extreme pleasure to coach and teach Tiffany for many years. I still find myself referencing her name as a model to my current players. Her dedication, enthusiasm and energy were only surpassed by her desire to laugh. Her alumni visits back to us, although never often enough, were always a treat. There will be a piece missing from the fabric of our school with her passing. She will always be missed. I wish her peace.
March 20, 2015
My deepest condolences to family and friends of Tiff. I hope she has found peace.

Tiffany was never a friend of mine, but I idolized her. She was 2 years above me at WPGA. Her smile was infectious and her vivacious love of life was contagious. I was absolutely shocked at this news. RIP.
