Tanya will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her victorious spirit showed through all her struggles for the last two years. Her testimony for Christ was always a shining light. She blessed Patricia and I with many beautiful photographs that grace our walls. During the last 14 years, we have made many visits to Lancaster to visit our family, and she and her family had become like family. She was a precious friend to John, Lisa, Alana, and Aidan. We enjoyed much wonderful fellowship when her family and ours blended as one. We know that her race has been run and she is in the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ. He cares for her now. Remember the words of David in Psalm 23, Psalm 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”  Mike, Katie and Brandon, what comfort we have in knowing that you do not walk this valley alone. You are in our thoughts and prayers!

In a person’s lifetime it is unusual to meet a person as courageous and loving as Tonya. She always greeted you with a smile. My sympathies to Mike, Brandon, Katelyn, and the Cole family. May Her Memory be Eternal
