"Tanya was a wonderful person and will be dearly missed. She was married to my nephew. I knew Tanya all of her life and have never met anybody sweeter than her. What a great outlook on life she always had. When she saw you coming her face would light up and you would have a nice conversation. I will dearly miss you"
