Tawnya was my sister in the true meaning of the word. We experienced all of our "firsts" together and I am very proud to have called her my friend. I love you Tawnya. When you left the earth a part of me left with you.

I met Tawnya about ten years ago thruugh Tina D. .She was wild and crazy back then but so was I.She had a nickname of Cricket and that is what I called her.Now I would like to share something with you all.When I think about Cricket these words pop in my head.There is a thing that touches us all .It has no prejudice.This thing can make you can make you very happy or very sad.The thing comes in all shapes and sizes.The thing comes and goes.The thing has no gender.The thing touches us all at some point in our lives.At times the thing may seem to be the best thing that ever happened to us,other times it may seem to be the worst.The thing can make you laugh,,cry,smile,or frown.As you grow older the more inportant the the thing is to you.Also as we grow we may have less or more of the thing.Love and trust go hand in hand with the thing.Do you know what the thing is?The thing is a little something I call friends.Well Cricket had a very big heart,and I'll miss alot.God all of her family members Chalie Reigel

I met Tawnya through Tina DiValerio. Tawyna was there for me when I was in the hospital during my labor with my daughter "Lauren". She was there for me, giving me her support. I had lost touch with Tawyna when she got married. We had some good times together, She will always be in my heart. My condolences go out to her family. She will be missed very much.

I hadn't seen Tawnya in several years, but I wanted to express my condolences to her family. I used to hang with Tawyna prior to her getting married and always found her to be lots of fun. She was a vibrant personality and full of life despite her health issue. She was very proud of her daughter Kylene and she spoke of her parents often. She marched to her own beat and was a good friend to me over the few years we hung out. I spoke to her mom several times on the phone and have fond memories of that. May God bless you all at this time and keep you safe in your time of grief. With heartfelt sympathy, Theia Trusselle
