Tasha Anne WALLACE

I have only just learned of Tasha's passing. I have many wonderful memories from long ago, when we were classmates in Galt, Ontario.
I knew her as Carol in those days. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Dear Tasha, I learned of your passing last night while trying to reach you for an upcoming conference. My heart broke. You were such a wonderful human being. I will remember you always smiling, having fun and sharing your positive spirit and attitude with so much generosity. I will always keep you in my heart as an inspiration to be a better scholar, to do research passionately like you did so brilliantly and eloquently, and to continue caring about my students' success and well-being. I know you wouldn't have wanted me/us to be sad. I cried and am still crying, but I am mostly grateful for getting to know you. Thank you for touching the lives of so many with your graceful smile.

I am just learning of Tasha's death. I am so utterly sad to hear this news. I met Tasha when I moved to Montreal in 1990. We worked together at CN. Those years I spent working and occasionally skiing and lots of walking around Montreal were wonderful. We laughed and discussed all kinds of ideas. She was so smart, unique, fun. I will never forget her. I am so sorry for your loss, Robert.

Tasha Wallace, you are greatly missed and it is hard to believe you've left us.
I only knew her through the YMCA, but she left a huge impression upon all of us. She was our mentor, a good example, someone we all looked up to, not only because of her height, but because of her positive and energetic presence. She was 67 and still dancing at the most challenging classes at the Y. She asked how you were with sincerity. She wanted to know what was exciting in your life and she generously offered business advice too. I loved it. She was so positive, refused to give into negativity. She was a constant weekly presence in my last 10 years.

Tasha, we still hear your laughter and your wit, we see your smile, you will be remembered.

I just now heard the sad news of the passing of my dear friend Tasha. It is difficult to accept our loss of such a great and beautiful friend. Words escape me to express properly my sincerest condolences to Robert and her family. Tasha and I worked together at CN Rail, and we become good friends and had many wonderful conversations at lunch on life. I even named my youngest daughter after her. On her leaving CN, I presented her with my necktie that she always commented on and saying good bye then is just as difficult in saying good bye now. I am forever grateful our paths crossed and I will cherish my memories of her. God bless her.

Deepest sympathies to you Robert and family on the sudden passing of Tasha.She will be missed and forever in THE HEARTS of THOSE that knew HER

Tasha often came to our Aquafitness class at the Downtown YMCA and her smile and energy was appreciated by all. You will be greatly missed by the whole group.

I had the very good fortune to sit in the cubicle next to Tasha's for several years in the late 1980s, at CN Rail. Every day, we (and another cell-mate, Mike) would talk through the partitions while we (allegedly) worked on the railway. When the topic got too interesting, as happened often, we would stand up and talk over the tops of the partitions. Those were fabulous times, and I learned a lot from her. Hugs to Robert, a great hugger.

TASHA , etait plus qu une client pour moi . Elle etait un modele, tant au niveau de l amour que du respect des autres. Tu vas me manquer.

I too met Tasha in the early 90's at Montreal High School where we played badminton every Wednesday. And I too hated playing with her. She was just so good! So energetic! And on top of it she was so friendly! I hate people like that.

Then later, some 25 years later in fact, she invited a few of us for an evening of Mahjong, which I had never played, but which she so patiently explained the rules. She also provided dinner, and her excellent home-made wine ... I began to really like this person after all. We promised to meet for mahjong regularly in the fall and winter. This was July 2017. A few nights later we went to LaRonde, and of course I watched as she went on many rides I would not dare go on ..

She was adventurous, and lived life to the fullest and now, selfishly, I feel sad that we will not be getting together again ...

Sending sincere sympathies from Mansonville, Tasha's second home. Always there with a smile, to lend a hand and to show her support, we will miss her so. No words can fully express the sadness in receiving this news.

RIP Tasha. You will be missed so very much.

Our sincere sympathies and condolences.

Dear Robert and Family of Tasha; My sincere condolences on the loss of a well-beloved partner, family member, friend, teacher, and more. It is clear that Tasha touched ALL of our lives in a profound way. May her life-loving spirit and the gift of her life be a reminder of how Tasha made us see the world and appreciate life. Fred

Tasha always have a smile for everyone. Full of energy, so fun to be with. We meet in badminton, then we became mahjong buddies. She will be missed by everyone who has known her. My sincere condolences to Robert and her family.

Tasha was a little ray of sunshine, always positive, always friendly - just seeing her brightened your day! She will be missed. My sincere condolences to her friends and family.

An extraordinary person and athlete. She would beat your socks off in badminton then shake your hands with her enduring smile. Winning and competition came natural to her.
My condolences to her family and all.

Dear Robert and family of Tasha,

My sincere sympathies for your loss. Tasha is a wonderful person, who will remain in my heart forever. Just the thought of talking with her makes me happy. Her live-life-to-the-fullest spirit is contagious. I saw her at ASAC in June, just before she was to receive her research award, and we laughed and laughed and laughed. I will hold on to that memory forever.

Bob,

Ken and I send our sincerest condolences to you on the death of your wife ,Tasha.
Sincerely,

My heartfelt condolences to Robert and all her family on the passing of Tasha.

Tasha was a wonderful person who loved life to the fullest. I first met Tasha in September 2010 when we both visited for the first time a Toastmaster meeting at the NDG Leader Club at the YMCA on Hampton Avenue.

Tasha was a very special person and brought a smile to your face when you talked to her. She always saw the good in everything and everyone and inspired you. I will miss you my friend, Tasha.

Tasha was a great colleague and friendly to everyone she met. I offer my sincere condolences.

Tasha was a patient of mine - I saw her many times over the last 15 years. She always made my day. She had the most wonderful way about her and I am so sorry to hear about her passing. My condolences to her entire family.

I remember Tasha fondly, with her disarming smile and infectious laugh.
Her energy was contagious and she was always on the go.
We met through Badminton, in the nineties, and we shall miss her.
Our condolences to Robert and her family.

So sorry for the loss of such a wonderful colleague and friend.
