I only had the very short pleasure of knowing Tahnee for a couple weeks but she is such an inspiration. She was so positive, bright, funny, and so brave and it always made the day to have the chance to see and just chat with her. I know your family will have one of the most amazing guardian angels looking over you
Rest easy Tahnee
My beautiful cousin…you were taken way way too soon. I will never forget your contagious laugh. It completely lit up the room. Love you forever.

Tahnne touched a lot of people’s lives old and young. I hadn’t talked to Tahnee for a few year’s, however, I’m Bless to have some wonderful memories with her. And for that I’m grateful! Rest in peace Tahnee!
Tahnee endeared herself to Faye and I often congributing her music at the church in which she was a charter member. She will be missed as she makes her home in that glorious place we call heaven. May the LORD bless and keep all those left behind to grieve. We especially remember her mother, Tami during this time.
