Hey sweetie, just stopping by to wish u a late happy birthday, i was working yesterday or other wise i wouldve done it then!, i miss ya tons and love ya! i wish u can be here with us again! happy 19th birthday !!!

Tawnya, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. You would have been 19 years old at 5:09 pm today. It is so hard today without you here with us. We will be coloring all the Easter eggs tommarrow and that is the day we would celebrate your life with us. Grampa came by today and brought a dozen pink roses by for you, I wish you could see them. Remember last year when you didn't want to color the eggs, and then Aunt Cheryl talked with you and then you and Daniel came out and joined the fun. When we were done with the eggs we would always celebrate your bithday. You got a gift card for your car from Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Vic, money from Grampa Rooney, a stuffed animal from Shana and Devin and dimond earings from dad and I. Tawyna we miss you so much that it hurts but I know that you are with us in spirit and we will see you again someday. I got a letter from Melissa the other day and it had a coulple photos of you and her in it. I cryed when I saw them it was almost like you were, well like a everything that happened was a bad dream. Anyway you both are so beutiful I can't even explain. She explined in the card how much we are all still in all of her prayers and for us to allow all the memories of you to comfort us. I am trying to do this, but it sure is hard. I love you Tawyna Leigh and you will never be forgotten.
With all my love
Madre

tawnya hey there i decided to sign your guest book again because i miss you so much. i feel stupid for not keeping up with my word and meeting up with you after we found each other... AGAIN. girl i feel so horrible, and im glad that me, you ,brenda, emily and melissa were all best friends in middle school and im glad that i ever met you. you were a grat person and it was fun hanging out with you. you are i my prayers(when i do pray) and your pictures are on my wall :) even the middle school pictures of all of us. i love you and ill see you when i go up there!!!!

Tawnya, you were surely an angel! you had changed so many lifes! We all miss you so much! I know that you are looking down on us everyday! We love you Tawnya!!!!!

Christmas was not the same at all without you Tawn. It was really hard to enjoy the holiday. I miss you soooo much! I know that in a way you were still with me (especially because I wore a bunch of pink these last 2 days!). I saw so many things I wanted to buy you and give you, but couldn't. I love you Tawn. Happy Christmas.

Christmas this year just isn't going to be the same without you. I keep looking at your pictures and I cannot even grasp the idea that you're really gone. I know that you're keeping watch over us. We miss you and love you.

My Tawnya I dont know why God decided it was time for you to come home. I do know that your death has changed a lot of people lifes. Every day I see the effects of your death in the lifes of people who loved you and even those who didn't know you. I feel like God took a big piece of my heart when he took you but I know I will see you again when God decides my work down here is done until then I will keep going and take care of your sister and Grandpa. I know you are doing great you have your grandmom and greatgrandmom taking care of you. There isn't a grandmother anywhere who could be any more proud then I was to have loved you and had you as a granddaughter.

To my Tawn Tawn,
Me and you have known eachouther since 5th grade and you were truly my best friend. You keept me strong when I was week. You made me laugh when I was sad and best of all you were my friend when no one else was. I will see you again baby girl.

It breaks my heart to know that you are gone. You are in all of our prayers.

We miss you so much.

You are my 1st baby girl that I brought into this world. When you were born you had to fight so hard to stay with us and you did the same when you died. I wish I could have fought all those fights for you. I don't know how to do any of this without you. I love you and miss you more then words could ever express. With Christmas comming up it makes it even harder. It was you, your dad, Chelsey and Shana that helped me through when your Nana died 2 1/2 years ago. Whenever I see pink and soft I will want to buy it for you, that was the one thing that was so easy with you. I know that you are up there watching us and looking over us, I sure wish that you were just here to do that. Tawnya you were such a wonderful daughter with so many hopes and dreams and I hope I told you enough how proud of you I always was. You have so many faimly and friends that love you and miss you more each day. I know that you are with us always, to give us the stregth that we need to make it through all of this until it is over, please help us make all the right decisions to make you proud of us. I love and miss you baby and I will see you again someday.
Your Madre (mom)

I am so sorry for your loss. My family and I's thoughts and prayers at with you at this time.

Rest in peace Tawnya.

Sissy,I love you so much. Tell Nana I love her so much. Tell Grampa I love him so much. I miss you a lot. Tawnya you are nice to me. I am really sad and I miss you so so so so much. You are pretty and good and I wish you never ever died. Mommy misses you a lot. Daddy misses you a lot too. Me and Chelsey are ok, I love you so much. Love your baby sister Shana

Tawnya,
Happy Thanksgiving. Even though it is a day late I still needed to say it to you. I know that everyone missed you yesterday. It is so hard to believe that you you have almost been gone for two weeks. It is a lot harder fo rme to go to work now and not think about you. I have not been to the ICU since you were there. It is alot harder to be in that hospital now. I have experienced death at work but never anything like this. I don't like it. Miss you so much.
Joy

Darling Tawnya, We will always love you and miss you, until we get to Heaven and you will welcome us there. Then our joy will be complete as we once again can hold you in our arms as well as our hearts. We love you sweetheart.
Grandma & Grandpa Serio

Tawnya, I remember growing up with you before my dad took my sister and I away to California and then to Nevada. But you were just so much fun when you were little. There was so much time that we didn't get to spend togeather because you had your life and Tina and I were always gone. That is part of what makes me jealous of Amanda and Christina because they had a lot more time to spend with you and you sister. It is so hard to think that you went from being a shy little girl to a beautiful young lady with so much potential. You were so outgoing. I remember when Tina and I got back from Nevada I couldn't believe how much you had changed. I miss you so much, and look forward to all of the pink we will see when we all get back togeather.

Tawnya, I wish you could've fulfilled God's purpose for your life. I wish you could've at least seen yourself graduate from high school. It really hasn't hit me that you are no longer here. I would definitely like to say to everyone, make sure you have your life together and if you died today, please know where you would spend eternity?

I'm gonna miss you beautiful girl. Well every time I look at Melissa, I think of you. I didn't even get to talk to you...Farewell Tawn...

tawnya ur were and still such a beautiful wonderful person.
cannot beleive this would happen...happen 2 u.
i love u so much and i will miss u so much.
i wish we could of spent more time together but god needed another angel
he picked perfect he picked a very special one!
no matter what happened u smiled
it brought the sun out
u were a strong person
and that was what,was so special about u
R.I.P peace
i love u
~Reanna~

We will miss you, Tawnya. May God bless your family and friends at this time, and may you be at peace in Heaven.

To my Babydoll, I have been blessed to be part of your life from birth until death. you were so tiny when you were born, and so timid when you were young. Then before my eyes you were becoming your own independant, strong, beautiful woman. I was looking forward to sharing your future with you as you were to graduate the end of this year w/your cousins Ash & Sam. I love you w/all my heart and I know you knew that. God Bless you Babydoll, I will miss your love, your hugs and your laughter. Always, Aunt Cheryl

Tawnya's big brown eyes and adorable smile. Such a happy girl. I took care of her and Chelsey in the church nursery a long time ago. You are so gorgeous, and I'm sure God and the angels are glad to have you in heaven. I'm praying for your friends and family who are deeply missing you, and remembering your beauty, inside and out. The service was beautiful. Sounds like you were such fun. Until we meet again, my love, to you and your family........

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. Carol I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope and pray that you know she will always be looking down on you and protecting you as a guardian angel does.

Such a beautiful person. We love and miss you. To Robert, Robert Jr, Chels, Alex & Carol, Dawn-our deepest sympathy. Love Uncle Dwayne, Terri & Brook

Tawnya and I have been best friends for 5 years this month. We didn't like each other, though, 7 years ago, but we ended up being the best of friends. When i moved it was horrible, but we remained best pals. She would visit my family and I every summer (3 summers we've been here) and I would visit her. All the people who loved her so much will miss her the more, but I just want everyone to be encouraged to live life to the fullest, cuz that's what Tawnya did and what she would want us to do. Tawn, i love you babe, always and forever i'll remember you. Our friendship remains the best. I love you. . .

Tawnya was a great person, I remember her from middle school, and the times that we would talk or play volleyball together. I can't belive that she is gone. I know that she is now in a better place and will look over us. I will miss you Tawnya

Please accept my deepest sympaties and if there is anything I can do for any of you please let me know.

When I first met Tawnya, I didn't think that we would be close at all. We were so different in our styles (clothing) and personalities. But then I got to know her and it was great. I remember this last summer we went out everywhere together. Parties, friends houses, everywhere. She always made sure it was o.k. for me to come with her. I loved that. Since then we pretty much saw each other everyday. Or at least talked to each other. She was very much like a sister to me. All I want her to know is that I love her, I will never forget her, and I don't want her to worry about Chelsey, I will do my best to make sure she is taken care of. She is on my priority list. I love you Tawn. R.I.P.

~Devonne*

I didn't know Tawnya very well but I do remember being in classes with her. I also know that she will be very missed!
R.I.P Tawnya

I just want to say to Chelsea and the family that I grieve with you in your loss. I will rejoice with you on that great morning when we all meet again in heaven and we will just dance!!!! I am here for you Chelsea, be strong!

I remember Tawnya from West Middle School. We had classes together that we talked in. Tawnya was a beautiful person inside and out. I remember Tawnya as a person who was ALWAYS happy, ALWAYS smiling! She was so sweet. I will miss her. I can't believe such a wonderful, innocent, caring soul is gone. Rest in peace! Your in my heart.

my sister was so great i loved her so much i kno she will be very missed from everybody she had alot of friends she could have been a model i member when we both were kids we saw a pic of my cuz angela n all i could member was tawn tawn was saying im goin ta look like her and be a model everybody will kno me. we had so many times were we didnt get along but if i was in trouble she would always stand by my side. thick pr thin. i neva even said bye ta her or i love u but i kno she knew it. we always went ta the park n when people wpuld try n still my bike or hers she would stick her toung out n ride as fast as the wind. she was really fast.well i have alot more ta say but i just want ta say i love her and she will always be wit everybody she is now a gardean angel watchion us down from heaven.

we were best friends in middle school. it was me, her,emily, brenda, and melissa. we were inseperable. all of the memories we had were in middle school. i love her so much. rest in peace homie!

A parent should never have to bury their child .
I can only hope and pray that time family and friends help mend the anguish of your broken hearts.
If I can do anything. Please call.

Tawnya was my very best friend. We went through alot together and I will never forget her. She had so many friends, and no matter what happened, she always stayed my best friend. I knew her for only 4 years and I was hoping we would stay friends forever. But, all I know is that she will be in my heart and watching over me until i go to heaven to be with her. I love you Tawnya, and I miss you soo much!! God take care of her please.

Tawnya, I cant believe your gone, I cant believe its real.. I just talked to you a couple hours before it happend... Why did you have to go? We were such good friends for so many years.. The memories we had, I will remember forever... I miss you so much and I always will.. I love you girl!
Always and Forever your friend

Let me start by saying, Tawn you touched so many hearts. So many people feel the loss of you being gone. Gramps misses you so much. We all miss you. I miss our chats daily on the computer, I miss seeing you drive by and smiling and waving. Your visits to my house. My girls love to see you, they love thier tawn tawn. You will never be forgotten. Your beautiful smile, you are one of a kind and will always be that to us. We love you Tawnya. I know I will see you again. My blue wings, and your pink wings. Love always, The Cochran Family, Chris, Miriam, Reanna,Mykayla, and Sabrina

I went to Anchor Way along time ago with her Grandparnts Alex & Carol. While I haven't seen Tawyna in the last several years. I do remember being a very sweet child. She was just the sweetest little girl. And just from seeing photos of her on the news and in the paper. I can see that she grew into a very beautiful young lady. I am very sorry for the loss that the family is going through. My first thought went out to her sister who when they were younger were very close.

I am praying for the entire family.

Lisa Earls

I Will always remenber Tawnya she was a good friend to me I'm giong to miss her so much.
Rest In Peace.

Rest In Peace

Tawnya I didnt know u very well but I would have love to be able to have u for a friend a little while longer your memory will always live on with me Ill never forget who you were. R.I.P.

In the nine years I've known you, I've watched you grow from a silly, playful little girl into a beautiful, graceful young lady. I can't think of anything more tragic than this. The family you leave behind is amazing for how it comes together in times of loss. I feel saddest for your sister I think. You say hi to J-rock for me ok, and you know what I mean girl.

You will be missed.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I remember as a baby Tawnya having to be carried around with a heart monitor and that heart has now saved another life. She will live on, not only in the heart of the person she saved, but in the hearts of everyone she knew.
