Tatanya lived her life with such fierce determination. She refused to let cancer stop her from traveling, seeing friends, plays, and continuing to learn and create. She had a keen intellect and sharp sense of humor. I will miss long talks with her and hearing her laugh. As her mother, I miss her so very very much.
