Peace go with you Tanya, we miss you so much!
I remember Tanya - and all her family and mine! - piled into the seats, floor, and trunk of one car, on our way to and from a hockey game. It was incredibly loud because we were all joking, laughing, and carrying on both ways.
I remember my Aunt Tanya watching over us as we played in the water by the old beach shack on Lake Michigan.
In fact, every single memory I have of her is like these two: centered around activity; vitality, and ringed with laughter: both Tanya's and all the other family she always seemed to attract around her.
Dear Gary and Family. So very sorry to hear about Tanya's passing. Praying for God's peace and comfort to sustain you all.

Cathy and I are deeply saddened to receive the news of Tanya's passing. As co-coaches for the SL girls team, I came to know Tanya as a sincere friend who gave of herself without hesitation or limit. She was uplifting, compassionate, and offered a safe space for every player she took under her wing. Her impact on those she touched will be felt for a lifetime, and her presence both on and off the court will be dearly missed. All of our love, condolences, and tears go out to her family and loved ones.

Tonya, EVERY time I’ve ever been near you on the tennis court, you have always been so friendly and kind! I will always think you smiling and competing on the tennis court!
Being a former groundskeeper of the Muskegon Mall from April 25th, 1995 to June 28th, 2000.

The meetings in the back lunchroom on the second floor Suite #201 were very legendary when we had disagreements, we would throw bricks at each other. [Don't worry the bricks were foam, lol 🤣]
