Rhianna vanTeylingen Obituary

Devra, I'm so sorry to hear about Rhianna's passing. I'm just heart broken for you. I can't understand how someone so young, beautiful and full of potential can be taken at such a young age. I remember seeing her just days before the accident, you were telling me about how well she was doing in school and with the new job. I was so impressed with the wonderful daughter you raised. Call me if you need anything, a shoulder to cry on or drinks and laugh about the good times. Cherish all the memories, she may be gone but never forgotten.
I love you.

I don't even know what to say.
I went to sabin and Doherty with Rhianna
We had math together, She was always so great to be around, we only hung out a few times out of school but it was always fun. She is a great person, I can't beleive she is gone. I'm so sorry for your loss, for everyones loss, we are all missing out on getting to know her better.

Rhianna has been my best friend for years, we learned everything together, laughed uncontrollably, and grew up together. All the pictures in the world could not replace our memories. I miss you Rhi && will see you again when the time is right. Im still parying for you Devra, Rhianna loved you more than anything on this earth & will watch over you & Deja forever! I love you guys & am still praying.

To the VanTeylingen family
We are former neighbors of Judy and remember well when Rhianna and Deja used to come over and play with our boys.. such beautiful, sweet girls! We recently found out about your loss and were so saddened and want to pass on our condolences. You are all in our prayers.

Oh Devra, Laurie just told me what happened. I am so so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Rhianna ;( God, my heart is breaking. The news immediately brought tears to my eyes. I don’t even know what to say, as I’m sure there is nothing that anyone can, but I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. God bless you and your family now and forever.

My name is Jacqe'e Jackson, I go to Mitchell High School. Rhianna and I went to Irving together, but never talked, never really even knew eachother in fact. I only knew of her through some friends. Since Rhianna is about 6 months older that me, hearing about this tragic event, had a big impact on how I look at life today. Since life is way too short, we must cherish all the beautifull times we've had, and keep moving on. I keep Rhianna and all of her family in my prayers! May god bless!

Devra
I am so, so sorry to hear of this terrible tragedy. She was so beautiful and so sweet when I last saw her visiting you in the shop. I will keep that memory of her. My thoughts are with you every day and I pray that you will find peace in your memories of her. Love, Louise McQuary

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Ones,
I am Aaron Campbell's grandmother--he was in the accident with your daughter. My heart has been so heavy for you, and your family. Our thoughts and most certainly our prayers have been with you.

Devra,
I love you so much, I am so sorry that you and your family have had to go through this. There are no words I can say to express my sadness or your loss. Know that I am here for you and your family.

I am Lolly's brother-in-law; our family is so saddened by the news of Rhianna's death. Although we did not know her personally, we know she was very close to Lolly, my brother Mike, Rika, Alysha and Mason. Our thoughts are with you. May your memories be forever cherished.

Devra, I'm so sorry for your loss. what a beautilull flower girl Rhianna was at mine and Tracy's wedding. you will see her again , a perfect angel. love always...........pete

To Rhianna's family,
I am Lolly's sister in law, and I can't tell you how my heart went out to you all when I heard about the accident. Although I never met her, I heard her name mentioned often, and I know she was dearly loved. My thoughts are with you all.

Devra and family,
My prayers are with you and will be for a very long time. Being a parent I cant even begin to think how hard this must be for you.
Unfortunately I did not meet Rhianna until the night of her accident. I live up the street from where it happened. I heard the accident and the cries for help. My friend called 911 and I raced as fast as I could to try to find out where it was. When I got there I was the first one there. I am truly sorry there was nothing I could do for her or the driver. I did pray for them as soon as i could once help started to arrive.
There's not a day that goes by that i don't think of your daughter and her friend. It sounds like she brought a smile to the many people she had in her life. May God bless you and your family forever. Stay strong and have faith in the lord to get you though this rough time.

Devra, I haven't seen you for awhile but I love you as much as ever. I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard about Rhianna from Chance I. on facebook. The last time I saw you you said you had a baby girl... I am praying for you, your family and your baby who left too soon. I will call when I feel it's okay to. I love you, Elena Montoya

Dearest Devra and Deja,
Our family is so sorry and socked to hear what has happened to yours. Rhianna has light in her that will never go out, even though we have not been part of your lives for long she along with the rest of your family will be with us for a life time. We hope that time will heal your wounds and mend your hearts.
With much love the Dohnert, Parson Family

Rhianna,
I've known you since forth grade. I remember the first time i had ever came to your house, it was me you and miranda and even though we were all sick, we were out on the trampoline, playing mall madness.
I went to see you in the hospital and when i saw you laying there it broke my heart. After that, i called to check in on you all the time. It became an obbsesion to know how you were and if i was going to see you anytime soon. I didn't get that chance, you were gone in a week.
It still hasn't all hit me. It just feels like a terrible dream and i'm still waiting to wake up. Untill that day, I love you and i will always be thinking of you.
I love you boo.

Even Though Rhianna's gone she will never be forgotten. i got lucky enough to be in and around your guy's family almost everyday for 7 months, from the cookouts to the big christmas party you guys have every year at the golf club. never will i forget those memories and one of the main reason's is because Rhianna always made me laugh and always put a smile on my face. from the silly things she said to her facial expressions. And i just wanna thank your family for letting me come and see her in the hospital in her last moments. i will never forget her. My heart goes out to your whole family Devra. God bless you for being so strong throughout this whole thing. You and your Family will be in my prayers...

love,
Derrek Villlagrana

No heartache can compare, she was just so young. Why GOD called her home... it's hard to understand, she'll be watching over all who loved her. Beautiful Angel Rhianna! I will always keep you and your fam in my prayers, and memories in my heart. -LOVE Jenny

Love,
Julie Salisbury (and family)

Rhianna i remeber moving here and you and i were brand new in Mr Fabey's class and we just had met eachother that day and we got along so well. I remeber i would come to your house after school and we would always hang out and and eat Direto Cereal lol and jump on the trampoline. U were my bes friend then we grew apart but i never forgot about you. Now your safe and peaceful and up in hevaen and looking down on everyone. Your mom and sister will make it. We miss you very much and I love you sissy!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I only knew Rhianna by name through my son Nick and his friend Curtis.

It breaks my heart to know that a wonderful young person is gone from this world. Here's to hoping you can look back on the wonderful memories you shared with her.

On behalf of me and my son Nick Jimenez, may peace and strength find their way into your hearts during this time of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Devra,
Words cannot express how sad I am for you and your family. I can't pretend to even imagine that I know what you are going through right now. Just try to take solace in the fact that your friends and family are always here for you, and Rhianna's memory will always be alive within their hearts. She will never be forgotten.

To Rhianna's family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Evan always said Rhianna was a nice and beautiful girl......Evan and his Mom Carrie Reyes

I went to elementary school with Rhianna at Madison and part of middle school with her at Irving. When heard of the accident I was deeply shocked. To think of how young she was and how many things
there are that she'll never get to see it breaks my heart.I'm just glad I had the chance to know her. My prayers are with you and your family.

Rhianna, I love and will miss you so much~Please help my sister through this hard time she is going through as it is not easy for her to see you go, I will never forget the first time you came over to our house...You are now everyones angel that will be greatly missed and in our hearts. Keep that beautiful smile of yours shining down on us, I love you Rhianna.

Devra & Deja
Devra this was adapted just for you and Deja. My sister presented this to me to help me in my hard times.


Remember Rhianna
Remember Rhianna when flowers bloom
Early in the spring
Remember Rhianna on sunny days
in the fun that summer brings
Remember Rhianna in the fall
As you walk through leaves of gold
And remember Rhianna in the wintertime
in the stories that are told
But most of all remember each day right from the start
Rhianna will be forever near for she will live within your heart.



My love Sue Nelson

May God carry you and your broken heart. The heaven's are singing and the world is mourning.

Peace and Love be with you,
Elaine Mercil

Devra,
I just saw Rhianna at the salon a few weeks ago. She was so happy. Rhianna had her hair down and all I could keep saying to her how pretty her hair was. She was really maturing into a beautiful flower.
I will never forget when we went camping and she drove me to the store. She was so excited to drive.
I love you Devra and I am truly sorry for your loss. You and Deja are in our prayers.
Love Courtney and Frank
