Share a memory. How about a thousand memories! We shared so much growing up. At times our lives were intertwined. Hard to imagine a world without you in it. I will never be able to think of Cutters or My Maria or frogs or Tortino’s Pizza with Ramen, or Saturn cars without thinking of you. You got me my first real job! You did my hair every day for about 3 years in a row. You were there for my first “everything.” I slept on your couch a lot when we worked for Swanson and I ate your Ramen. There is too much to even say, and some things that should forever remain untold. It has certainly been a journey. :blue_heart:

Tanya, you were always smiling when I seen you, no matter what was going on in your life. We met many years ago in my teens, you helped me emotionally and as a nurse get through one of the darkest times in my life. I have always cherished you, and forever grateful that you were a wonderful person and always willing to make my day brighter and more hopeful! You were always in my prayers, praying that life would give you a break. I am going to miss you but know you are no longer hurting!! Rest In Peace my friend! You will never be forgotten!! :heart:

My mom was the most generous person I’ve ever met. She didn’t have a lot of money, but always made sure me and my brother had what we needed and then some. She made sure we were taken care of, even in her last few days. She had a heart of gold and her intentions were always pure. Life will never be the same and a piece of my heart will always be in heaven with her. I love you momma, to the moon and back, forever and a day.
