I wish everyone could have had the opportunity to grow up with the loving Aunt that I had. I have so many memories of her that I could never beging to recount them all. Our times that we spent on trips, at church, Dunkin Donuts and in Mom and Dad's living room. The day was always brighter when she came to visit. I only wish that I had the opportunity to tell her goodbye. When you are given the chance to see a loved one, take it. Let them know how much you care about them and love them. Time is too short. I love you, Ant Tanya!

My Sissy, My Friend,
I'll never forget all the wonderful times we shared growing up, nor will I forget the wisdom you imparted to me as we praised, taught and worshiped our King Jesus with our neighbors, friends and family. Those kids just ate up those skits and plays that brought the Bible to life for them. Thank you for helping to instill those good values into those kids, who are wonderful adults now. Give my love to the family and when you talk to Jesus put in a good word for me.
We love you and we'll see you up there.
Sandy and Melvin

Aunt Tanya was a wonderful person. She was the spark in Jims eye. She touch so many lives and some many people are thankful to have known her. She was beautiful in the inside and out. She was always real with you even if you didn't want to hear it. She was full of life and she loved Jim so very much. When they walked into a room together there was always a sparks. . Our only hope is that each of us that have been change by her love, will some way give back.

Many they dance together forever.

Love you both and will miss you.

Aunt Tanya was such a very special person to me. She touched my life in so many ways. She always seemed to have the right words to say. I am so thankful for the time we had to spend together, but I will miss her more then words can express. I can't seem to stop the tears, yet no more pain and suffering for her should make me glad. I know there is a wonderful celebration in heaven as she joins all our loved ones before her. She may be gone in body but her spirit will always remain.

As sad as it makes me to lose you, I am happy that you are home with Jim and the family members who have gone ahead and especially that you are in the presence of God. What an awesome place to be. Give everybody a huge hug from me and tell them all that I love them. I miss you horribly and I'll love you and remember you always.
