Hi Twin, Some are wondering why I would be sending you a message through the guest book. Well, I am certain that God allows you to read up there, either way, I know that you read our thoughts. You are one of God's angels now and I really believe that. Erika and I are doing fine. We miss you very much, but we cherish the presence of your spirit. We trust that you know, more now, when we struggle and go through, but we also know that you can do far greater things for us where you are now. Erika and I love you very much and our hearts are always open....so whenever you want to share with us, we are listening. You can even visit us in our dreams; we would like that...we just want to know that you are o.k., as we are sure you are and that you really are looking out for us. We love you. Thank you for being the greatest twin sister in the world and the bestest auntie! All my love....Your lil twin sis!

To Sanya. I am sorry to hear of your loss of your sister. I can't say I know how you feel, but I can say I've been there. The bible says to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Just know that god makes no mistakes, he brought you to it and he will see you through. Cherrish the memories that you shared for weeping will endure for an evening but joy will come in the morning.

During this difficult time, I send my sincere condolences. My prayer is that God will meet you at your need. He is a Comforter and moreso a Deliverer and will walk amongst you during this season of bereavement. Tanya will sorely be missed yet you can rejoice in knowing that her memories will live forevermore. Whenever you feel like crying, cry yet grieve not as those who have no hope. Our hope and trust is in the Lord. He will not leave nor forsake you. May His love provide peace and comfort during your darkest hour.

To MY Family,
Recently, I had a visit with Tanya. We had a wonderful and uplifting conversation about growing up together in the same house...we were like sisters. Tanya my "big sister" taught me a lot from dancing to how to tell a joke the right way. As we moved from young ladies to women, Tanya definitely showed me her love for the Lord.
Aunt Di thank you for taking us in, as children, from that I was able to develop a wonderful relationship with the twins. Tanya was truly more than a first cousin she was a sister to me.
Aunt Di, Jr. Buster, and Sanya, thank you for sharing your daughter and sister with me and so many people. She was a true Christian role model.
Please rest in the fact that Tanya had a relationship and fellowship with the Lord, and we (the believers) will see her again. John 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

You as the family will see her again in the ressurection. "Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY will come in the morning."

Tanya was one of the coolest, talented and an all around down to earth person...she always kept it R-E-A-L. It has been an honor to have her apart of my life. I thank God for her spirit, her love and countless funny stories...mostly consisted of laughing at my expense...but never the less she kept me and many others laughing. I know that you are in Gods' hands and more than likely "you're smiling and laughing up there too". She will forever be in my heart...I miss you Tanya.
Love,
Margaret
