  8. I don’t know what to say other than Tisha changed our lives in such a blessed way. We are better people because of her sharing her life with us. Chris, always remember that Olivia will always have her Auntie Sara and me! Time will not change that! Tracey, thank you for sharing your daughter with us all these years. What a priceless you have given to Sara and I. The sister Sara never had and “My daughter from another mother” you so graciously blessed me with. Always remember I share my daughter with you! SHE IS “Your daughter from another mother.” Sara and I miss Tisha so very much. There is not and never will be a day that will go by that she is not in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers. I know she is with us always. To you, Chris, little Olivia, Tracey, Larry and families…thank you for sharing Tisha with us. We love you all….Tisha, my daughter from another mother, I thank you for coming into our lives. I thank you for being the sister she never had, for all your love, your smiles, your laughs, your messages just to say “hi Mom” for bringing Chris and Olivia into our lives, for your mom and Larry, and for all the other blessings you gave us! I love you more than it was ever possible to tell you and show you! Fly high, my beautiful Angel, and keep visiting me every day!

  9. Chris, Olivia, Tracey, Larry and families. I don’t really know what I can say that hasn’t already been said between us. My heart breaks for you all. I wish I had words if comfort and peace. Saying “I’m sorry” just doesn’t seem to be enough. So I will say “THANK YOU” for sharing your wife, your daughter, your mommy with me! I am truly blessed to have had her in my life. She was Sara’s sister and my “daughter from another mother”, for that I’m blessed and honored. Please always remember Sara and I will always be here for you, Chris, for Miss Olivia, for you Tracey and Larry. We pray for peace and comfort for all of you and for the rest of your families. We love you all.

  16. Tisha, you are an Angel; truly a blessing from God. You have touched so many hearts and lives each and everyday of your precious life. I know that you were filled with God’s pure & gracious love. Even on a bad day you glowed with His love. Your faith in Him was strong and willfull and God knew how you loved and trusted in Him. There are not many Angels here on this rugged earth, yet He blessed us with you! We may never understand why He called you home at such a young age, but we will fill Olivia with your love and memories always. She will know how amazingly loving and faithful you were. I love and miss you Tisha.. I know you are watching over us all and enjoying laughs with Grandma Marlene. I Love you Always & Forever, Aunt Betsy

  25. Tracy, I was very saddened to hear about Tisha. I know it has been years since we have spoken but Chon and I spoke of you often when we reminiscent about the days at Willow Wood. Remembering “our little girls” playing and swimming. Tisha grew up to be a beautiful woman and then to be a wife and mother touched my heart. So happy for her that God gave her both. Tisha was blessed to have family that shared her life. Tisha was blessed to have you as her Mother. My heart is heavy knowing she is gone physically from your life. Yet, Tisha gave you a granddaughter to love even more. You and Tisha’s family are in my prayers and thoughts. Tisha has wings and is in God’s arms.

  28. Tisha I will miss your face. Your “sass” is something that I loved most about you. You lit up a room and I instantly knew when I met you that you were a sweet soul. We will miss you very much. Rest in peace my friend.
