Tanya Payne Memoriam

Tanya (Bunch) Payne We remember our mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend who we lost last year. You met life with a smile, warmth and enthusiasm, guided us in our compassion for others, taught us to be true to ourselves and not compromise, You always held a welcoming, open ear for our troubles. We miss the sparkle in your eyes when you laughed, your genuine lust for life, the joy you spread for family, and the way you could comfort and inspire us with an eager thumbs up and a bright smile. Yours was a unique soul and we will never forget the love you shared with each of us. Until we see you again, all our love ~ Megan and Tommy, Dave, Mom, Dad, Cindy, Derek, Ryan, Melissa, Joan and Tom, Doug and Heather, and the wealth of friends and family you touched in your journey.
