Goodbye Tanya. I am so upset I don't even know what to say. I bet you never knew this, but I envied you so much. You were an inspiration to me. You were such a good person for this crazy world. And so talented. I'm glad we met even if it was for a brief time in school and Ecuador. I will never forget you and was always happy to be your friend. I hope you found the peace you so desperately wanted spread here on earth. I will miss you.

MI SOBRINA QUERIDA--
MY DARLING NIECE, TANYA!
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FUN WE HAD LAST FALL WHEN I CAME TO VISIT YOU AND YOU AND I SPOKE NOTHING BUT SPANISH TO EACH OTHER. WE LOVED IT WHEN NO ONE ELSE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE SAYING. MY HEART IS BREAKING MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY; AND YOUR LOSS IS THE MOST DEVASTATING THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. I KNOW YOU DO NOT WANT US TO BE SAD BUT TO CELEBRATE THE WONDERFUL LIFE YOU HAD. SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP OUR FAITH IN GOD AND KNOW THAT TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS.
VAYA CON DIOS!
YO TE QUIERO; YO TE EXTRANO!
CON MUCHO AMOR,
FROM AUNTIE PAT XOXOXO

Words are insufficient to express the pain and sorrow in our loss of a sweet niece and cousin. Our comfort comes in remembering that God's timing is perfect and that amidst our many tears and broken hearts, our loss is heaven's gain. "TKO," you will be missed!
Mary, Dave, Sami, John, Lisa, our thoughts and prayers are with you in this painful time.
Love,

Tanya,
I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance in Ecuador, and became a friend very quickly. Your personality demanded honesty and compassion for others. I heard no words of condemnation pass from your lips, and can say I witnessed nothing but love from you. You will be missed here, and there will be no-one else like you.
Love,

Tanya, you can't possibly know how much you meant to all of us through high school and college. Your bright smile and amazing attitude amongst so many other of your refreshing qualities garnered a joy synonymous with your name. I'll miss you and that joy you always brought.

Dear John and Lisa, Sami, Mary and Dave,
Our hearts are broken along with yours with the senseless loss of our Tanya. Though, to lose a child and sister, is so indescribable, that words cannot express the pain. We feel blessed to have shared all the holidays, family gatherings and major life events with her and all of you. It has been really special to see and experience her growth from the little dancing water girl to the earth mother renaissance woman she was becoming. She had such natural talent and could accomplish anything she wanted with such ease. She was just coming in to her own as an artist, musician, adventurer, traveler and poet. We are so thankful that Bronson and Brooke were able to experience her mini art sessions and spend time with her over the past three years since we moved to Tarpon Springs to be closer to our family. Lisa, my sweet sister, John and Sami, you know we are here for you.
Love, Linda, Robert, Bronson, and Brooke Cliborne oooxxx

Tanya, I learned so much about you while becoming acquainted with your friends and cause at the Bayshore Discovery Project these last few days. I just wanted the world to know about your deep devotion to helping those less fortunate than yourself. I am so sad that the world has lost you, but your beautiful spirit will reign forever. I love you my Tanya. XXX Mom
