Tributes
"Bonnie & Cheyenne; So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very nice person. I had the flu the night of visitation so was unable to attend. May God give you peace. She will always be in your heart."
" Dear family of Tabitha, I am sorry for your loss and wish to share with you comfort from the Bible. The Bible holds out a wonderful hope for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. Please read John 5:28,29 in your Bible. Another wonderful future promise is found at Revelation 21:3,4 where it states that , pain and death will be no more. The former things will have passed away. As you read these texts in your own Bible, may they be of comfort to you. Sincerely Dianne Mullins "

The memories we have of being your neighbor for several years were good; even through the hardest of times. What a blessing to watch Tabitha be such a wonderful Mom and a people person. Many prayers and condolences for your family and loved ones. Nancy and Chianna, The Dunblazier Family"
"Jon, Cheyenne and Bonnie, I have so many great memories of my cousin Tabitha even when she was a baby. One vacation we spent with Uncle John and Aunt Rosie when they lived in CedarRapids Iowa. I feel bad that we drifted apart with time and I hope we can be closer as a family. If there is anything at all I can do, please let me know. I will miss your momma's blue eyes which she knew how to roll as you know and her big smile and her laugh. She was genuine, her feet touched the ground and I loved her a bunch. God Bless you guys and I am going to continue to pray for all of you. Your momma was very loving and not selfish at all, she always had a good sense of humor. Sometime soon you will see something that would have made her laugh, and it will make you smile. That is how the slow process of healing starts, least for me it's that way. Here is a poem that I think she would say to us if she could. When Tomorrow Starts Without Me ( David Romano ) When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see... If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today... While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you... And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me, too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand... That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above... And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart... For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. "
