I met Tanya about 21 years ago. Right from the beginning she had the courage of a lion, and the biggest heart of anyone I knew. Watching the love that her and George shared was inspiring. Tanya also like music and like to dance- many many memories of us having fun dancing and dancing. I will always remember her beautiful smile.

Tonya was absolutely one of the most inspirational people I've ever met. Her outlook on life absolutely amazed me. No matter she was going through she found a positive spin for everything. Her stubbornness made me chuckle. I was absolutely in awe of her ability to find her joy no matter what was going on around her. I will surely miss her. See you on the other side

Tonya was a bright light in St. John’s Mayfair community, where I let her through her husband George about 15 years ago. She was a joy to spend time and chat with, especially at Feast of Justice dinners, church events, and visits with her in the hospital. She will be greatly missed. Love to George and her family. ❤️
