I am so sorry for your loss. I know you know this already but I wanted to acknowledge how incredibly amazing Tanya was to us. She was our first experience with a daycare provider and had helped me with the mystery of parenting more than she ever knew. We were sad to see her move in to the school system. Then we were excited that Tanya was at the same school as our children. We were honoured that she continued to be a special part of our children's lives. She was a very special person and we send you love, light and prayers. Sincerely, Jennifer, Devin, Sophia, Miranda and Rowan Andrews

Dear family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you today.
I was in her classroom as a Speech Therapy Assistant . We worked closely together over the years.
She had such passion and dedication to her job.
Tanya, poured her love on others and talked so much about her wonderful family. Her smile was contagious and lit up the room. I know she is watching over all of you.
May you hold onto the precious memories and the life you had together. May her flame of light burn in our hearts.
Love and Smiles to you,
Linzy

Hold onto those memories and know that she is always near.
