    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Tisha was a good friend of my family and especially my daughter, Amanda. They always had lots of fun together and Tisha visited our home quite often when she was younger. I had seen her a couple of times this past year and she was so proud of her children and talked about them a lot. Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers and may she rest in peace.

    I am so very sorry your loss. I'm even more sorry I was never able to meet her. It feels so weird to have a sister who passed and never had the chance to even meet her. She was beautiful and I can see a resemblance. God bless and prayers to all. Xoxo
