Oooh, thank you to our family and friends for your support!!! Ryan Dodge and Tania built a family together, Kali & Samantha & Ryan Jr. Dodge. They were married in every sense of the meaning of marriage... by their hearts and LOVE for over 25 years. My hubby Marino Manolis & I are Ryan's parents and Tania was 100% our DAUGHTER, by our hearts (there is N-O-T an - in-law because of the government lawful paper) Tania was truly Andy, Tony & Leah's sister. She loved all her children, Kali, Sami, and Ryan Jr with all her heart, and multiply that LOVE for her grandchildren, Levi & Lalia and Sophia Hope Dodge. She loved her parents Dar & Big Rich Swarts, her siblings Bill, Richie, Stevie & Tara. She loved all her Aunt's and Uncles and cousins. She told me that her Aunt Dawn was her hero because she helped her Mom Dar, so much when she terminally ill from cancer. She felt she failed the people she loved the most. Tania told me she hated the pain and hurts she caused to everyone she loved. I told her many times that it was the disease, not her true heart.
We all so appreciate everyone's love and support during this heartbreaking time!!! Her mental and emotional and physical pain was as REAL as a cancer. The TRUE heart of Tania would never have left us. It was the disease of her tortured confusion mind and of the medication that took her from us. Her memory lives ETERNALLY in all our hearts as she loves everyone from Heaven's Light.
