We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Tiffany. She was a wonderful outgoing example of kindness. We met many years ago at Akron Children's when my daughter Missy was about 9 and Tiffany a teenager, both in the hospital for CF. Tiffany was so kind and outgoing. We kept in touch with Christmas cards and pictures and then met up in the last few years at the CF walks. She was wise beyond her years and spoke to Missy as a teen about how important it was to take care of herself. A true inspiration from a girl who knew what it was all about! I am honored to have known this young woman and truely sorry for your loss. We will never forget your lovely Tiffany.

To Tiffany's Family:
I had the privilege of getting to know Tiffany during what turned out to be her last month of life. One of the things she shared was how much she loved Denny and her mom and the endless support she felt from each of them! What a gift! Tiffany also shared the love she felt for her sister and that she would pray to her for strength. May you find peace in knowing all that you provided to Tiffany, and that she is now able to be with her sister and breathe with ease. Sincerely, Dr. Victoria Norton (Akron Children's Psychologist)

I had the wonderful pleasure of having Tiffany in First Grade at Clearmount Elementary School. Tiffany and Tanya were both beautiful, caring, smart and enthusiastic young girls. They had such a positive attitude towards life. A few years ago I had the honor of seeing and talking to Tiffany. She had become such an elegant young woman. She will be missed but the memories of her will always be in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. God Bless.

Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.
Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.

And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry.
But live for me and laugh for me,
When you are happy, so am I.

Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by.
Think once of me when you are glad
And while you live, I shall not die.

Tiffany gave so much to so many people, and that legacy will live on forever

Denny and family,
I wanted to offer you my deepest sympathy. Tiffany was very special to me. She was quite the character and often gave me something to look forward to at work. I am glad I was able to spend time with Tiffany on her last night. Even then, she was her typical, joking self. At God's will, the Carey twins are back together again. My thoughts are with you and please know you are all in my prayers.
