Hi my sweet daughter. Well it's now been over a year since you left us all behind, and it really hasn't gotten any eaiser. Your greatgrandfather died one year and three days after you did. We have seen so much death in this last year and inside it is really tearing me up. Aunt Robbi died in May. So you got a lot of family looking after you and vise versa. I miss you so much and it just seems like some days its just so hard for me to function and today is one of those days. My emotions are right there and really hard to hide from. The kids and I went to Virginia for grandpa's funeral. Mike and I were supposed to get married on the 20th but we didn't. so we will set another date soon. I am going to come to see you very soon. I wanted to bring lyou some of the flowers that I planted in the front of the house but some one keeps pulling them up. So any how thats the flower garden I planted for you and I put some white roses there for grandpa. I'm hoping whoever keeps taking them will stop cause they don't realize what that does to me. Well Tyreesha is in Mississippi visting and Karl and i are at home. I gotta find something fun for karl to do thats not going to cost alot of money that he'll want to do. I haven't really been talking to the girls. Lately just hearing their voices brings me to tears so I usually cut the conversation short. I miss you so much and some days I just want to wake up from what i feel like can only be a horrible extended nightmare and find you peacefully sleeping in your bed.But i know deep down on those mornings that i should not go looking for you cause it will only be devastating all over again. i know one day we will see eachother agin and this world will just be absolutely prefect and we will never again have to live without eachother, but the problem is that only God knows when that day will be and until then we are left wondering and hurting and longing. And none of that seems fair. But i have discovered that life really isn't fair. i can see your beautiful smile and hear your sweet loving voice right now telling me its going to be ok. Just know always that we all miss you and love you very much. You are here with us and we carry you in our souls. Love always, Mommy

hey nisha, it's felicia again. i'm really glad that your mom kept this guest book up longer because it has really helped me get things off my chest that i am only comfortable talking with you about. i was remembering earlier today when you and i would go up to ms. marquiss's room and just hang out there. michael still has a picture on his phone of you and me. that is the only picture of the two of us. right now i've really been missing you. i have made it my goal to go see you by the end of this month. i need to do this for not only you , but also for myself. i know that no matter what you'll always be here, but if i can go see you it will be a little bit more of closure for me. i really do miss you everyday, and i think about you all of the time. you were one of the greatest people in my life, and i miss you with all my heart and soul. i love you so much nisha. always remember that.

hey nisha, it's felicia again. i have just been thinkin about you so much lately. inside i really want to go see you at your grave, but the other side of me doesn't want to go because even to this day i don't want to believe that this is all true. i can still hear you laughing and i can see your smile. i went to go see my grandpa at his grave today. i haven't been there in a really long time, and to this day it still feels like he's just on some long vacation. that's what this feels like with you. i don't want to believe that you're gone, but i know you are. sometimes i still feel like i can talk to you and you are trying to talk back to me by giving me signs. please just give me a sign so i know you're here. inside it feels like a part of me died with you. no one will ever be as good as you and nothing can ever replace you. life, honestly isn't good anymore. all i want is to have you back in my life along with my grandpas. i'm sorry if i sound down. right now i just have a lot on my mind, and it always made me feel better when i talked with you. you always had some way to make me smile. i miss that so much, especially now. i love you so much nisha, and i never want you to forget that. i'm going to go to bed, but i will try and write you soon.
i love you always

hey nisha. tomorrow is the one year mark of your passing. i can't say that it is going to be an easy day. it's probably going to be as hard for me as the day i found out you had passed. these past few weeks have truly been some of the worst for me. i've been feeling guilty because i haven't gone to your grave. it's just that in my heart i still don't want to believe that you're gone. i don't want to have to see that you truly are gone. there have been so many times when i've been thinking about you and hoping that this is all just a joke or a really bad dream. i just don't want to have to see that you're really gone. inside i think that is the real reason i haven't wanted to go to your grave. i think about you every single day, and i remember our last conversation like it was yesturday. i love you with all my heart and i want you to know that. i truly love you with all my heart and soul. if i could i would have you here instead of me. i would give absolutely anything to have you back. as each day goes on and you're not here it gets harder. you are truly the best friend i've ever had, and i'm sorry i wasn't there for you at the hospital. i should have been there and i'm so sorry that i couldn't be there. i just wish i could see you one more time. not a day goes by that i don't cry for you because i miss you so much. i just don't know if i can stand being here without you. there is absolutely nothing that could ever replace you or your spirit in my heart. i just want you to know that you are forever in my heart and on my mind. forever you will always be my best friend and my sister. i would do anything to have you back in our lives physically again. i just wish i could have done something to help you or something. i love you nisha with everything in me. never forget that, i won't. you are the greatest person i know, and i love you so much. i have been blessed to have been able to have you in my life. even though it was a short time. you were an incredible person nisha, and i love you.
i love you always

hey nisha. i've missed you so much. words can not describe how painful these past few weeks have been. as time gets closer to graduation the more i feel angry and sad that you're not here. you were my best friend, and i loved you like a sister. you know that already though. i just want you to know that i'm always thinking about you. i don't get to talk with your mom as much as i used to, and i won't get to check up on karl like i was able to before. i hope you know that i love them though, and i'll always be there for them. i know you'd appreciate that. today i was remembering when we were talking about what we were going to do after graduation. when i think about all the plans we made together all i want to do is just cry. i just want my best friend back, and i'm angry that you can't be here. literally, there is no way i can describe in words how hard it has been without you. sometimes i felt like just giving up on everything, but i know you wouldn't want that. it's just really hard to want to go on without you. you meant everything to me, and now you're gone. i try to stay positive, especially for your mom and karl and tyreesha, but right now it just can't stay that positive. i'm trying though. i just miss you so much, and sometimes it hurts so much that i don't know what to do. i don't know what to do without you right now. all i want is for you to just stand next to me and give me a hug or something. i love you nisha, and right now it's been really hard for me to even talk about you. every time i do i just end up crying my eyes out. remembering the good times we had is the one thing that is actually getting me through this. i promise you that i will come see you at your grave in the next few weeks. i wanted to do it last weekend but i'm just not ready for that. i don't want to have to face it this soon. i just can't do it right now. i'm sorry nisha. i really do love you though. i'm always thinking about you.i love you so much. make sure you keep an eye out for my grandpas. you know how stubborn they are. i will write you soon. i love and miss you nisha.

hi baby. I miss you. Are you taking care of Pop and Spencer. Its been almost a year since you left us and as the days draw closer to graduation I get so sad. I seen pictures of Brianna's Prom and almost broke into tears. She was so beautiful and I just imagine how Beautiful you would have been and how much fun you would have had at your senior prom. It seems like so many people around me have children graduating and it just breaks my heart. And it makes me so angry because its not fair that you aren't here. 11 months seems like such a long time then again it seems like no time at all. But its a long time to not have seen your beautiful bright face to hear your voice to see you walking through the house. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself. Well I've started a garden in the front of the house. I still have to plant your rose bushes, I got purple and white and Karl and Tyreesha are going to make crosses for you. When its all done and you look down on our house I hope you will like it. We all miss you so much and some days it sends us all crazy. Well my beautiful daughter We love and miss you so much.

Love always,

Karl, Tyreesha, and Mommy

Tanisha, I can see you smiling already as Spencer came running into your lap today. One of the first things I thought of when I had him at the Vet's office today and they decided to put him to sleep was that I knew you would be there waiting to take care of him. We miss you like crazy and think of you daily. Love you! Clem, Tara, Briana and Jayden

hey nisha,

i have been missing you so much. your mom and i haven't talked in a while, but i'm going to call her tonight. ashley told me that she got a tattoo of you on her back. hopefully this summer i'll be getting my tattoo. i drew it up, and it's a memorial tattoo for you and both my grandpas. i'm sorry that i haven't been to your grave yet. to be honest i'm really scared of going. i just remember the day they barried you and we watched them lower you into the ground, and i know i'm going to think about it when i go see you. i promise i am going to see you though. i think that the last day of school i'm going to go see you. that day is going to be a hard day without you, and i just want you to be apart of that with me. we've been missing you so much. no one really talks about you anymore. i try to get people to remember what we shared, but they just get depressed. with graduation coming up we are all a little sad. it's going to be really tough without you. i am still debating on whether or not to ask your mom to come to my graduation because i know that it's already going to be really hard for her. i don't know what i'm going to do. but guess what, i am going to prom..i promised you last year that i would go with you this year, and i want to keep that promise with you. i bought a really pretty green dress so that it would feel like you're still with me, because i know that anything green made you happy. it's going to be hard going there knowing you can't be with us, but i know that you wouldn't want me sulking around at home just because i'm sad. you were always stubborn like that :) . I miss you so much nisha. it is really hard not having you here. i still get really depressed because in my mind i want this to be just a joke. i just want you to pop around the corner at school and just yell suprise and tell me that this was all just a joke or something, but in my heart i know that's not going to happen. i just want you to know that i'll always love you and i'm always thinking about you. you are so missed, and i hope you know that. i miss you so much, and i love you with all my heart. i will write you soon.

Hi sweetie. The year is going by so quickly. Last night your brother and I had a talk because he is so full of anger. I had to let him know that I know he misses you that we all do and thats its not his fault that you died. He just carries it all inside and it seems no matter how much I try to get him to talk it doesn't work. But I think last night I may have broken through, I hope so any way. I went up to the cemetary to see you today. I hope you heard me talking to you. I left you some pretty flowers. The last time I was there your grave was under like a foot of snow and that about broke me down. We miss you so much. I still talk to Ashley and Felicia. They will graduate in two months. It makes me sad because you should be walking across the stage with them. That probably seems a little selfish but I can't help it. Life just seems so unfair I watch the news of these parents who are abusing their children and I sometimes think to myself why did you have to die, I mean life is far from being perfect but it wasn't that bad. And again that might also seem selfish but I don't mean it to be. I would never in life wish another child dead cause its just not right, children should not die. But I guess God has a plan for us all and we just can't see it. I know He is taking good care of you and loving you in a way unknown to man. But I still get angry because its not fair. Well as I said we miss you so much and we love you. Oh yeah, I have you tatooed on my back its not quite finished yet but it looks just like you. And in 2 years Karl is going to get one also in memory of you. He wants to do it now but they won't do it until he turns 16. Well my dearest daughter until next time We love you

Mommy, Karl, & Tyreesha

Tanisha,
I just had to write and tell you, I got in Briana's car yesterday and looked in the back seat, there sat her cd case and in big letters it said "Love Tanisha" with a heart in the middle. I remember the times you used to come stay the night with Briana when you were younger and one of those times you guys must have taken nail polish and written all over her new cd case, because your autograph was right there. Had I caught you guys doing it I probably would have yelled at you, but I am so glad you guys weren't scared of me and did it anyway, because it was great to see a reminder of you right there. Hopefully you are watching out for Briana while she's driving and that is a sign that she has you with her every day in car. We miss you like crazy and think of you daily. Until we meet again, know we all love you!! Love, Tara

Dear Ni Ni how dose someone have a best friend and not even no it? I don't know either but I did and it was you. Your the one who was always there with me. When everyone else let me down you where there I miss that. Cuz now all I can do is write you and image what you would say. But you were always so sweet and you could never let me down cuz I could always count on you to be you. I miss that no matter what happen between us you were always there for me. Not many people have a friend like that.So it very hard now. I lost my best friend my lil sis and my niece. How person be so much when they are so young. Your the one that made me feel pretty when I though I was ugly, made me feel smart when I felt dumb and had faith in me when no one else did. We laughed together and cried together. I guess what I am trying to day is God could not have made me a better friend if he tried. Thank for everything you did for me I love and miss you I wish it did have to end. But no matter what I go though or where I go your always in my heart even if we do have to be apart
Love Always And Forever,
Yolanda

Hello baby,
Well a few things have happened since I wrote a few days ago. On Thursday 1/5/07 Tyreesha was crying cause she missed you so much. She wanted you to paint her finger nails. I explained to her that was impossible but that wasn't really comforting to her. So I took her in your room and she and I just sat there and cried and talked about you. Then I found her one of your necklaces, the one with the two hearts, and told her that it would symbolize "me and my sister" she was ok with that. She says she sees people watching her from the bathroom when she sleeps at night so we've been working on different ways on getting her to sleep by herself. Karl on the same day bumped into your sister Jahmilia at the library. I'm sure this was not just a coincedent and I'm sure you know already. So he spent Friday with yall's sisters. And I went and met Robyn and the girls when I got off work on Friday. She and I are going to be pretty good friends I think. And the girls took to Tyreesha and treated her as if she were their sister also. Just what they both needed when I wasn't sure what I was going to do other than start counceling which I may still end up doing eventually. I know you also know about the picture that Tyler and Nathan had blown up for us. Which is hanging in the living room along with the one that Cheryl had made. Baby we all miss you so very much and can't believe it's been 7 months since you left our lives. It's most certianly been quite a shock to our lives, but some how we have made it this far. Michael and I are getting married on Jan 29, so we will be leaving for Virginia on the 23rd. But things are not as we planned cause he did end up getting more time but I seem to be a lot stronger than I thought so I'm gonna hold it together because I do want to spend the rest of my life with him with out any doubt. But I just wanted you to know what has been going on and that we miss you and love you so very much.
Love,
Mommy, Karl, Tyreesha

Happy New Year!

Hi baby. We miss you so much. The holidays this year was just not the same without you. I tried to make it a special one for your brother and sister. I gave Karl a chain and cross from you. Although the chain is already broken cause he slept with it on he carries the cross with him so you will be with him always but I will soon get the chain fixed. For Tyreesha I got her a brats head she can do hair and put make up on from you since that was the last thing she remembers doing with you. Wydell and Cheryl gave out ornaments with a nice poem and on the back it has your name and date of birth and the day you left us. And Cheryl also had a frame made with cross stiching of parts of you obituary and the article that was printed and the things you were looking forward to doing with your life. That was very special to me. And it will hang in the living room for all to see when they walk in. New Years Eve was especially hard for me this year remembering that last year it was just you and me and we sat talked and sipped wine coolers listened to music and brought the new year in together. As I reflect on the last year of my life it has brought me the greatest pain and lots of love. Though I often wonder how in the world that is possible I know that it is because I am living proof. Michael and I are planning to get married on January 26th. Although I wish you could e here to share in our joy physically I know that your spirit is here and that we have your blessing. We carry you with us every day. I apologize for not comming to the cemetary to see you as often as I used to but it has been very hard. Its like its just starting all over for me. So many things remind me and alters my moods in so many ways. And it is harder for me to come there now caus I can't seem to accept that you really aren't here. I've been seeing you alot in the house and I'll reach for your hand or anxiously await to hear your voice and then there is nothing. I miss you so much, and just the little things that I took advantage of I now wish I had just "one more time". Well my beloved daughter I think of you every day and I cry every night and I miss you so much. I wait for the day that I will once again see you and get to touch, kiss and hear your voice. But for now I love you always and you are forever in my hear and soul.
Love always,
Mommy

Tanisha, Christmas has come and gone this year and it just wasn't the same without you there. You are the one that was always so sweet and such a great roll model for all the other kids. We all decided that since you had such of love for reading that we would get books and donate them to Children's Hospital in honor of you for xmas this year. Jayden and I actually dropped them off yesterday and told the lady at the desk about you and why we bought the books. We all thought this would be a good way to honor your memory this xmas and for many to come. Clem and I struggle with keeping your memory alive so that Jayden, being at such a young age, will grow up and remember you. We have pictures of you and show them to him and tell him about you often. When we go to your grave and visit we take him with and always retell your story as to help him remember. We hope to keep your memory alive for him. We know he drove you crazy sometimes and tried your patience :) and you would always say you were going to be a nun when you grew up. I would always get a laugh out of that, because you were probably the most level headed one of all the kids. Well just know that we love you and miss you tons and think of you often.
Love, Clem, Tara, Briana and Jayden

hey nisha. happy new year. i really miss you. i was thinking about you today. i have still been trying to figure out the perfect thing to get for your mom and your grandma. it meant so much to me when i opened the gift from your mom. i cried for a little while because her giving me your scarf meant a lot to me. i remember when you first got that scarf. you were extatic about getting a green scarf. you were like a little kid locked in a candy shop. i also remember when you and i first went to the mall and you got to wear you scarf. you were jumping around and everything. ashley and i were just laughing our butts off. you always took pleasure in the little things of life, and i'll never forget that. this year is going to be hard without you. we're going to be graduating this year, but you're not going to be there. i know it's going to be hard for everybody, but no matter what happens i know you're here with us watching over us all. you are our guardian angel. i hope that you're taking care of my grandpas for me. i really miss you tanisha. i feel bad because i haven't gone to see you at your grave yet, but i just can't do it yet. i can't go there yet. because if i go there then it will finally be the absolute proof that you're not coming back. and i'm sorry if you upset that i haven't come yet, but i know you understand. i just want you to know that i'm always thinking about you, and you're always with me in my heart. you are like a sister to me and no matter what happens i will always look out for you and the family. i will write you soon.
take care until next time.

dear tanisha,

holidays this year don't really bring me much joy. you didn't even like it when it was this cold. i just want you to know that i miss you so much. it's been hard dealing with things. i haven't talked with your mom in a couple weeks, and i think i'm going to call her today. i read her entry and i started crying. everybody misses you. cheyenne and i still talk about you a lot. and every tuesday michael and i, and sometimes heather, sneak up into the design room and we always talk about memories we have with you. i made you a few pictures and tapped them to the pillar so you could look at them whenever you wanted. i miss you so much. it's hard sometimes seeing karl because he reminds me so much of you. i've been lookin after him though for you. he seems to be doing okay at school from what i can see. i hope that wherever you are that you're happy. you deserve that. i just wish you could still be here. life is really difficult to deal with without you being here. i don't think i realized how much i counted on seeing you everyday until you passed away. it's hard to deal with because i had just talked to you that night, and nothing seemed different. but god has his plans, even if i don't like them. just know that i'm always going to love you. you mean so much to me, and you'll always be with me. i am going to come visit you before it starts snowing. i still haven't gone to your grave but i've been trying to work up the courage and prepare myself for going there. that is just the ultimate closure, and i don't know if i'm ready for that. i still want it to feel like you're here. sometimes i don't know what i'm going to do without you in my life. we had so many plans for after graduation and things that we were going to do together like move into an apartment together and travel somewhere together, but none of that can happen anymore. that's just the hardest part with everything. i just want you to know though that i'm going to be okay, and i'm always going to be thinking about you. you mean so much to me, and that will never change. you take care, i'll come see you really soon i promise..

love always

My dearest daughter,
As we come closer to the 6th month since your death it seems to be harder, especially with the holidays. The struggle has been hard for me not to loose my mind completely. But here I am surviving day to day. Thanksgiving has come and gone and it was most certainly different without you. Karl, Tyreesha, and I have been trying to figure out how we will celebrate Christmas this year. As for myself I can do completely without it. But of course your brother and sister are not having that. And Michael said that I can't run away, bad as I want to, cause the season will just come back in the following years. So here I am kinda torn between my emotions and what everyone else wants or needs. My mind leads me to many different places as I try to find the best way to celebrate your life and your memory not only for myself but for all of us that you left behind on that faithful morning. Today is the coldest day of the winter so far and I know how you hate the cold and I want to bring you a blanket and some hot chocolate to help keep you warm. Well my love we miss you so much and we will keep in our hearts and lives forever, until next time, I love you.

Love always

Mommy

Tanisha, It has been so hard for everyone since you left us. Everyone is grieving in their own way. There is an empty space in everyone's hearts that will never be filled. Even though you are in a better place, we all wish you were back with us. We love you and miss you and think about you everyday. Love, Uncle Clem, Tara, Briana and Jayden

it's been four months since you've been gone. i just wanted to tell you how much i miss you. to be honest life is really hard without you. i'd give anything if you could come back, but i know that can't happen. i just wanted to say that you have honestly been the best friend. there's no one in this world like you. that's what makes it harder sometimes. i'm sorry i haven't come to your grave yet. i really want to and i will, i just have to work up the nerve to do it. it took me a year before i could go see my grandpas, but i don't want to wait that long to go see you. it's important that i go see you. sometimes it still feels like you're here. that's why i'm taking so long to go see you because then that will be the final sign that you're gone. i just miss you so much. i want you to know that. you mean everything to me, and i just miss you so much.
today i start my first day at work though. i'm going to be working at toys-r-us. if you were here i know you'd be happy about it. i remember we said that we would try and find a job together. so i'm going to work extra hard to make you and my grandpas proud.
i just want you to know how much i care about you. to be honest, school is a little rough with you not being here. everything's changed and our little group has basically split up. nothing's the same anymore. ms. marquiss is gone too, but i saw her yesturday. she came into town to visit her mom and we saw her at church becuase her mom goes to church at the same place we do. and kasey had her baby this past friday 10/06/06. it's a little girl, and she's so cute. i know you weren't a huge fan of kids, but you'd love her daughter. she's so tiny and cute.
cheyenne went to the hospital the same day i did to go see kasey and her baby. cheyenne and i miss you a lot. i think both of us were the ones that were closest to you, and we both love you. i miss you so much tanisha. i wish i could bring you back. i'd do anything to just bring you back. i love you girl. you mean everything to me, and i promise that i'm going to go see you. i just need to work up the nerve to do it.
i will talk to you later. i have class so i have to wrap this up. i hope that you're happy up in heaven. i miss you...

My dear Tanisha, Its been a long two and a half months without you in our lives. The vacation you and I planned was ok. Karl and Tyreesha enjoyed themselves. On your birthday we went to your grave and let off 17 balloons and everyone wrote something special on each one. Now school has begun. Your senior year, boy is that hard for me. This was supposed to be your best year, instead it turned into my worst nightmare! The other kids are doing ok. Of course we all have our bad days. Me more than any one I hope you are ok. Felicia and I are planning to go up to your grave one day and we will release some more balloons in honor of your life and the way you touched us all. I've written you many times and have written so many poems for you, I wish you would have read the one I wrote for you at the begining of your junior year but in time you'll get to read them all. This to let you know that we all miss and love you very much. I hope your birthday was as special to you as it was to all of us. Love always, Mommy, Karl, Tyreesha.

Tanisha I love you with all my heart. You were like a sister to me, and nothing can take away that love. I just want you to know how much I miss you. Yesturday was your birthday and I just remember the plans we made to celebrate each other's birthday. We were so excited to spend our birthdays together. I remember before school got out when you told me you already bought my birthday present, and I kept trying to get what it was out of you. Then we got to talking about when we got our ears pierced, and you didn't know that I didn't have my ears pierced and you had to tell me what you got. I laughed so hard because you thought I had my ears pierced, and as many times as you'd seen me with my hair up you didn't know that. That's a good and one of many entertaining moments.

I just want you to know that you are always going to be in my heart. School is coming up next week and to be honest I'm dreading it. It will be the first year since we've been friends that you won't be there. You won't be there to meet at my locker each morning or hang out in the art room anymore. I'm trying not to focus so much on that though. I want to remember the good times we shared because that's what you would want. I just want you to know I love and miss you so much, and you are one of the greatest friends anyone could have. I am so greatful that we were friends. Life wouldn't have been as great if I didn't have you.

I hope that you had a great birthday. Your mom was telling me about how they went to your grave and released balloons for you. I hope you got every one of them.

I just want you to know that I love you so much, and I miss you with all my heart.

You're always in my heart and soul.

love always

There are many things that can be said about Tanisha. She was one of my best friends, and she meant everything to me. The pain from loosing her will never go away, but will be eased knowing she will always be in my heart. I just want Tanisha's family to know that I am always going to be there for them. Tanisha was an amazing person. She was willing to help anyone and everyone she could. She will always be with me no matter what happens. I just ask that Tanisha's family remember the great qualities Tanisha carried within her. There will never be anyone like her, and I am thankful that I was given the opportunity to make a friendship with her.

Tanisha, I just want you to know that I miss you more than anything, but you're still in my heart. I am thankful to have made wonderful memories with you. Life is going to be harder without you, but I know you'll help guide my way. You'll always be with me. I'll never forget how great of a friend you were to me. You affected in so many ways which I am thankful for. I love you like my sister, and I am going to make sure I help take care of your family. I know you would want me to do that. I miss you with all my heart, butI am glad you are truly in a better place where pain and sorrow can't follow. You'll always be with me.

Everyone who knew Tanisha was blessed to have made memories with her. Everyone should know that. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful she was, but she will never be forgotten.

Tanisha was in my math class...At first when I knew she was in my math class, she came off as the type of girl that you need to get warmed up to, very sweet, but a little shy and once I got to know her she doesnt hide what she feels or wants to say. Im sorry for you loss and my thoughts and prayers are with your family, I just lost my dad, and its something that I will never forget and I know Tanisha will never be forgotten she was a very special person...

I know of Tanisha only through my niece Felicia. What I do know is that the world was blessed with this young lady's spirit, heart, and soul. That she was an example of God's love personified on earth as a walking angel; and that Felicia's life, her family's life, and many other lives have been forever changed by Tanisha's neverending grace during her short time on this earth. May you find comfort in this time of sorrow knowing that Tanisha's soul will not live on for a day, a week, a month, or a year; but for all eternity. Take Care and find strength in one another.

I did not know Tanisha. My sister, Christie Stalcup, lived across the street from her grandparents in Bellevue. She always marveled at Tanisha's amazing inner and outer beauty, and at the kindness and beauty of her entire family. I am very sorry for your loss. and I pray that Jesus is holding her in the shelter of His arms this very minute!
