My lil sister with the great big wonderful smile! It was wonderful to chat with you recently. I wish I had known the fight that you were enduring was one that I would have helped you fight. You have earned your Eagle wings and now fly freely to the heavenly home without pain and still that same sweet smile. You were a dear friend to my sisters but to me you were my lil sister with lotsa of love and hugs! God bless you!

TO the family, May the Holy Spirit soften the pain and allow you now to relax that she is in the hands of her Creator. My God bless you and strengthen you as you pass on this day forward to her children her praise and her story. I love you Mom and Tora. My deepest sympathies and prayers...

Even in her final months, she had so much courage and strength, that her beautiful smile still radiated through difficult times. In one of her last texts she sent me, she indicated that there was so much time lost and that, she wanted for us to always keep in touch, granted, we were family and attended the same schools. In the short time we had, we texted, shared family pictures, laughed and enjoyed the moments. The memories of my cousin Tanya, will forever remain in our hearts.
