Dear Tista,
I just found out about your Mom. We had no idea prior to today. I lack the words to say how shocked and devastated we are for you.
Your mom loved you more than life. She would have done anything for you. You are the light of her life.
I don't know what they do in heaven but I know if there is a way, she will look out for you there. There is no doubt that you are the highlight of her life. I remember her telling me about how thrilled she was to be pregnant with you when we were talking at T.C.S..
Your mom is someone to be proud of. I know she was very proud of you. Keep the faith, Tista. Not everyone is so fortunate to have a loving and caring Mom like yours.
Our deepest condolences to you Tista. You will be in our prayers.

I have only known Tista for a short while, but I was lucky enough to have seen her mom a few times. Tista was blessed to have had such a caring, outgoing and giving mom. I am here for you, my friend Tista. We will continue to talk and see each other at CJA, but most of all, I will see you, your mom and your family in my prayers <3

Tista,
There will be no time when I look upon a sunflower that I will not think of your wonderful mother. There will be no time when I come across a beautiful scarf that I won't think of your mother as a beautiful human being. Take comfort in knowing although she is gone, she will live on in our memories as someone who touched each of us in her own special caring way.
