R.I.P. Tanya
I've been out of town since Thursday afternoon and didn't have time to post this earlier but I wanted to pay special tribute to someone I knew growing up who I found out passed away Wednesday. Tanya was a girl I knew growing up. Our families were part of a group of families at my church that were close. I wish I had a picture of her here but I guess one of my church will have to suffice. She was in the grade below me and along with my younger sister and some other boys and girls from my grade and the two below me, we spent a lot of time together at youth group functions and at eachother's houses when our parents all got together. Tanya was always upbeat and fun to be around and I have nothing but the fondest of memories looking back on at parties, gatherings & church lock-ins. Apparently she contracted a fast moving virus that caused cardiac arrest and water on her lungs. It happened so quickly there was nothing they could do to save her. I hadn't seen Tanya for quite a few years as her family moved to Houston some time ago. But it just breaks my heart to know she's gone so young.
