I had know Tanya and her Mother Vicky for awhile but cannot remember exactly how long but we three shared numerous laughs…One in particular was when I was at the grassy knoll as we call it and her dog Cimba, decided she wanted to take another walk down the park so I asked Tanya if I could take her and Tanya said, "Linda, she's pretty strong, do you think you can handle Cimba", to which I said yes and Tanya handed over the leash and at this point I thought Cimba knew me pretty well, so Tanya handed me the leash, and off we took, yeah, and get a visual of this: Linda grabs the leash, and starts to walk with Cimba, something struck Cimba's interest, and whew, I had leash in hand, Cimba was off and running with me being drug behind, going to the grass, practically eating the grass, only to get some sort of control, to stop, get up, pick the grass off my face and clothes and Cimba took me for her kind of a joyride, picture me on the ground plowing the the grass being drug by Cimba and looking back and Tanya and vikcy, about on their knees laughing their butts off, and I said when we got back to those two, I said "well that was no joke my friends", they are still laughing and I said, here's your dog back, I'm out of practice (my dog passed a few years ago), and Tanya and Vicky kept on laughing and laughing…I guess you had to have been there but if you can visualize it, you might get what I'm talking about….That is just one of the memories I have had with Tanya and her mother. Cutting up jokes, the daily dirt, the plans for the day/weekend, miscellaneous memories. All in all, I will never ever forget about Tanya, she was a beautiful person and told it like it was and if asked for advice she always made sense, a very intelligent young woman, a woman, a daughter, a friend, was taken from everyone in her life and most importantly, her mother, Miss Vicky! My heart aches for her, and I will continue to help with what I can, whenever she needs it most. May the Good Lord please take care of her, keep her wings flying high and bright! God Bless you Tanya, you will be on the minds of many, and missed by many. Sincerely, Linda Wilson
