To John and his family, specially  your Mother.I have so much admiration for this family,which i've known for over 30 years,John's father Angelo,and his uncle Joe as well.My deepest condolences to you all,God bless you Joe Coimbra.

Tasha, my dear, dear friend; on a warm sunny day you wrote our names in the sand; the waves may have washed them away, but your beautiful smiling face will always be in my memory...

We travel through life meeting so many people, and if we are lucky, we come across someone who has a profound impact on our lives. For me, that person was Natasha. 

I still remember the first time I met her. I was starting my new position at the downtown FedEx facility when I noticed Natasha performing a task normally done by two employees. I watched her with incredible focus, care and pride. 

I went to her manager and said, “I think Natasha needs some help.”  They told me she was more than capable of doing the job herself—and doing it with incredible accuracy. 

I knew right then that Natasha was one of the very best employees FedEx had ever hired. Whenever she went on vacation, we needed two people to cover her job!

Over the years, I watched Natasha take on different roles, and she always exceeded expectations.  But what I valued most was the person behind the employee. 

After I married my Italian wife, Silvana, Natasha and I discovered another connection—our love of all things Italian.  We shared conversations about family, food, tomato sauce recipes and, of course, our favourite wines. 

Natasha had a strong, quiet presence. She was confident, perceptive and had an incredible ability to understand people. She never needed to say much when she needed help. She could simply look at me, and I knew exactly what she was thinking. 

What I will miss most are our talks, her beautiful smile and that incredible laugh. She always made me laugh. 

I will miss you, Tash, more than you probably ever knew. 

I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed. You were a very special person, and you will always have a place in my heart. 

Our deepest condolences to Natasha’s entire family. 

May Natasha rest peacefully now. 

With love,

Jeff and Silvana Gilbert

My condolences Sina to you and your family .

We were teens back then we had the most fun together! So many memories! Your laugh was contiguous! You were one of the most positive people I have ever met! We lost touch, life became busy. Walking down the street I heard my name from a voice that I haven't heard in years. I turned and it was you! Right outside my work we gave eachother the biggest hug and talked in the cold for 20 minutes.  You asked "How are the girls!" each one name by name , and I gave you the rundown on our lives.  You know people come in to your life for a reason<3 We picked up were we left off like we never skipped a beat .  I can't explain the hurt I feel know I cant just see you when I want or call or text .
Talking to friends that haven't seen you in years, they all say he same thing ! You were a bright star, always happy, We can't believe you are  gone ...God has called upon you. You are in your resting place now, at peace🙏🏽 Till we meet again my friend

Tasha was not only my best friend. Tasha was my sister.

We met at a time when we needed each other the most. Two hearts searching for loyalty, honesty, and true friendship. Especially in a world that can sometimes be so disappointing.

Not everyone gets to experience a friendship like ours in a lifetime. A friendship where you can be unapologetically yourself, where you never have to pretend to be something you’re not. I feel truly blessed that God gave me such a great,
compassionate, and loving friend.

We cried together. We laughed together. We lived through many hardships together. But most importantly, we experienced life together.

Not one weekend would go by without me getting to cherish Tasha’s presence. We had dreams. We had plans. We had a future we thought we would get to share.

Losing all of that has shattered a big part of my heart.

I love you, Natasha. My little Tati. My Twinkle Toez.

Our story doesn’t end here. Your memory, your laughter, your love, and everything we shared will live on in my heart forever.

Until we meet again, my sister.

I love you always. 🌻✨

Dear Sina and John,
My thoughts are with you at this time. It was sad news. May Natasha give you great strength.
Your cousin, Simona Lombardi

My sweet Tasha met you at the tender age of 2 and you stole my heart. Your sweet smile your playfulness your tender affection was infectious. We became buds at first sight. From there our affection took a course of its own. You blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Sharing time together and the affection you had for my girls was amendable. You became like my third daughter. Sharing many tender moments together.  Loved every moment of your beautiful life. Shine on twinkles. Love you forever Tonia.

My sweet Natasha, Nata, Naty like my Dad called her.  Life is so unfair and for all that it threw at you, you faced it all like a warrior. I told you this repeatedly. You amazed me with the way you combatted, fought and triumphed. You knew what had to be done and you did it. I will cherish all of our time together always. I love you dearly and always will. You are my cousin crab like our astrology signs. I could count on you to understand what being this moody was like. Your smile and laugh were music to my soul. Zia, John, Rina, Tessa and Angelo, my deepest condolences , I love you.  Sending my love and strength to you all. Rest in paradise beautiful Natasha.

It is with great sadness that I hear of the passing of the sweet Natasha.  She was always so sweet and kind hearted to everyone around her.   She will be greatly missed. Tommie, I wish I was there to give you a huge hug and my physical support but know that my thoughts and prayers are there with you, John and Rina.    Love Annette and John Evans

We met Natasha on a couple of occasions and we instantly felt like we knew her forever! She just had a way about her that made you feel so comfortable and at ease.  The sorrow of losing a child is a pain like no other especially at such a young age. May you feel her love and spirit surround you as you navigate these difficult days ahead. 
Sincerely,  Bob and Dianne Noftle
