Fondly remembered and loved by many, Tanya. Thinking of you still brings up the loss of your premature departure from earth. Sending you and the family much love and warmth, as always. Gwen xx

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel…Tanya’s smile would light up the room when she was present. Her love for Ara, Alec & Aleen was clear to all. - she was so very proud of them, as they were of her. 
Tanya was gracious, elegant, inspiring and wonderfully talented
We have lost a good friend far too soon and our hearts go out to all the family.
RIP Tanya 


We have so many happy memories of  Ara, Tanya and the twins joining us in Dubai and in Ireland for DDF events, which they loved attending. It was always lovely to catch up with Tanya, who was such a lovely, gracious lady.  Cannot believe we are saying this is past tense.
Tanya loved and lived for her family, her loss must be devastating for you all. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Much love,
Sinead and Jihad

Tanya is so special to my family, I named my youngest Tanya and she came to congratulate me in hospital for the birth of Tanya, she was the first to congratulate me among my friends, such a loving and caring beautiful soul Tanya is.   We reconnected recently during her battle with cancer and spoke for hours, her love for Ara and the kids was inspiring. The heavens have gained an Angel 💜🙏🏽💜 May she Rest In Peace ! 

May you rest in piece dearest Tanya and may god give all the strength to Ara and the children to get through this painful time. We have not seen much recently but you where always on our thoughts, remembering many wonderful occasions during our time in Dubai. You will be very much missed by everyone. Always in our hearts ♥️ Rai & Joan 

Words are inadequate to express our sympathies to your loss of a precious daughter,  loving mother, special family member, amazing partner and wife. 
We share your grief and mourn the premature parting of a very courageous and wonderful spirit and woman we are all blessed with knowing. 
God rest her gentle spirit and give you all strength to carry on with the love you will always hold in your hearts.
Our deepest condolence and love,
Gwen and Greg Sproule. 

 I remember meeting Tanya all those years ago and being so impressed with her poise and intelligence. Ara and Tanya were made for each other and Tanya was truly a graceful beautiful person .Our deepest sympathies to Ara and Alec and Aleen.

Dearest Tanya..
We have been in each other’s lives for over 20 years -  but never quite enough as we kept on saying to each other - promising at those many new years eves ( and your birthday..) together that:  this year it will be different! 
This incredible incomprehensible loss is now going to constant remind me and hopefully many others as a daily reminder- don’t what for that perfect day to call, send a message or casually meet up. 
It’s not tomorrow, next week or next year..
I will keep this close to my heart and think of you.

Life is busy for some more than others - but you always found time for people.. 
An admirable trait to be inspired by amongst so many others you graced us with,  beside being an incredible devoted mother and wife.
You fought this so strongly, so brave with so much courage.  That too I will think of wherever I will be I n a difficult situation and it will give me strength. 

Heaven will be richer graced with your kind caring presence - makes our earthly loss not less difficult,  but I know you will keep loving watching eyes out for your children Alec & Aleen and devoted  husband Ara. 
Praying they will stay strong and hold on to your golden rays of light and million magic moments of memories you created together- life. 

We will be there for them too.

Always in our memories Tanya. ♥️
Hanna Saeed & Hessa



Dear Tanya, 
I am writing these letters with heavy heart and great sorrow. You will always be remembered with your warm and welcoming attitude, kindness, thoughtfulness and lovely smile. I really loved our coffee chats while girls were having a play date.. how I miss you and our times together. You were an inspiration to many people. Your memory  will always live in our hearts. Ara, Alec and Aleen.. I wish you patience and strength. You have a friend in me and Beril, Begum and Mehmet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I share my sincere condolences with all family. She will always be remembered with love. 

Love,
Melek

Still cherish the days you timidly walked into our lives and the many happy moments our families shared over the years. You brought sunshine wherever you turned, with your kindness and warmth, your big smile. 

You will be missed dearly, our thoughts and prayers with Ara and the family.

To one of the most graceful and regal ladies I have had the pleasure and honor to call a dear friend..... A friend that has taught me so much and shared so many laughs and stories of all sorts.... I miss you my darling Tanya and will always miss you... And I know that you will always be watching the people you love from the heavens above... The heavens that have gained a unique and precious lady..... Rest in eternal peace my lovely lady......
With all my love.... 
Nibal


Absolutely devastated... So unfair to you, Tanya, so unfair to your family, Ara and the children... 
Always admired your beauty, your sense of humour, your dedication to your family and lots of talents.
Have been knowing you for more than 30 years I will keep with me all the best moments we shared.
No words to express the sorrow and the thought that I will never be able to call you and say "Privet, mamenka!" drives me to despair...


Dearest Tanya,

Our first memory of you was the joy that you brought to Ara's life when you both first met, and you made him so happy. You made a wonderful life with Ara and  raised two lovely children, and you brought sunshine and laughter whenever you were with us. Will miss you Tanya and may you find everlasting peace.
  

Alpana and Ramesh


Dear Ara, Alec & Aleen,

No words can replace the loss of a loving wife and mother. 

Tanya had an angel’s soul and dedicated her life to her loving husband and children. Every time she used to talk about her Aleen and Alec, her face was glowing.

We prey to god to grant her heaven and to Ara, Alex and Aleen the strength to overcome this painful loss. 

Leon & Radmila Beuyukian 

To the most Elegant, Beautiful and yet very down to earth human being i know, you may have gone too soon but undoubtedly, we all will remember you forever, especially during our rugby's. 

May God give strength to the family to cope up with this loss 

May your Soul Rest In Peace dear Ma’am 

With love,
Grelette 





Dear Tanya,

It is hard to believe that such a great person like you should leave so soon. It is extremely difficult for all of us to accept that. We are proud to have known you for almost 12 years and, during all this time to know you as a talented, creative person, caring mother, and loving wife. You will always be with us in our memories, thoughts, and prayers. 

Rest In Peace, Tanya!

Love from all of us

Oleg and Family

Dear Tanya
You have been taken far too soon. You put up such a fight and in the end the world has lost a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, friend.  Rest in peace dear friend. Our hearts go out to Ara, Alec and  Aleen and we send them love and best wishes at this very sad time 
Sandy and Pat MacPherson

How lucky my family and I were to move in next door to Tanya, Ara, Alec, and Aleen in the fall of 2019. Tanya was always kind and generous. Little did we know Covid was around the corner at that time. Being able to talk to Tanya across the wall and text during the lockdown was a ray of sunshine. She always had a big beautiful smile and sense of humor. 
Her family will always be in our hearts. We saw Ara love and support her during her struggle and Alec and Aleen are two of the bravest young persons we’ve ever met. As a family, they are a beautiful example of the power of love. Tanya’s beauty and grace will remain in our hearts. How lucky we are to have known her. 

Tanya…….was like a soft, gentle breeze which flowed beautifully through the lives of all those whom she met, and brought comfort and warmth as she spread her loving energy touching many lives, especially of Ara and her wonderful children Aleen and Alec.

Tanya’s ease and quiet confidence attracted people towards her engaging and positive nature. Her lovely presence with her quick wit and humor, enhanced her personality…..spending time with her was joyful.

Tanya was truly a loving, loyal and devoted wife to her Ara, and a committed doting mother to Aleen and Alec…..a loving guiding force  to the people they have become today. 

Being multi-talented, her capabilities and efforts were appreciated and admired, and this gentle breeze called Tanya which blew in from Sochi twenty odd years ago, became a meaningful presence in the Nakhnikian family…..she will always be the strong wind beneath Ara, Aleen and Alec’s wings.

From now on whenever there is a beautiful gentle breeze, with leaves rustling, delicate fragrance from flowers, and white clouds floating by against a blue sky…..we will remember you Tanya and feel your gracious presence.    

Tanya, you were beautiful from inside and outside, you will always be remembered for your love and grace, and for being the kind and fun person.  Rest in peace, beautiful soul while you watch over your loved ones being their guiding Angel forever.



Dont know how to start here goes my heart. You were Madam Tanya to me
Mr. Ara employed me as his secretary while in Dubai  for15 yrs. You said to call you Tanya I cannot fi
words to describe  simplicity, your talent, your beauty and your radiance. You were a person with a golden heart.  You used to fill the office with radiance whenever you came in. You worked hard during the events especially Rugby 7s supporting  Mr Ara. The anxious times and memories are those while we applied for your visas and preparing for the events and then you came and said all went well, well done! 
When my boss shared the news with me about what you were going through I was torn  apart because you still replied to my messages like normal, how could you do that Tanya ...you have left me wondering.... Your best memory you have left me with is how  you lived your life  and your personally designed  necklaces you gave me every xmas and made me feel special. You have touched everyone's life In a special way.  My boss adored you and always  wanted to treat you very very special  and 
sure he tried his best but God chose you to be his angel and hence he failed.  Big loss for my boss, kids, families and to all those who had the privilege to meet you .Your beautiful  kids Alec and  Aleen will carry on your Legacy and will support their Dad..... So many times you message me saying you all missed me  but you were happy that I reunited with my kids .  What  am I going to do now I feel lost.....there is no one to message saying howz my boss.....
We.love our boss but we loved you more.........This grief can never be overcomed and this emptiness  can never be refilled.  Our tribute to you is our promise that we will try to live our life cheerfully  and honestly, face our challenges with  great courage like you did till the end  and make you proud while you watch over us from the heaven above...Adeus Tanya Madam , May perpetual light shine upon you and may your soul rest in peace Amen!  
Rina Ramos & fly


Tanya,…… wonderful Mum to Alec and Aileen and wife to Ara.
Have been our friend over last 20 years. Missing you.
 May you Rest In Peace.
Love
George and Carmel.

In these moments of loss, words are useless, I can only say that you are gone far to soon. But we know you are somewhere out there. So rest in peace, our dearest Tanya. 

Dearest Tanya,
 
A wonderful human being, mother & wife, whose light we lost far too soon. I was so lucky and blessed to have known you, your beauty, intelligence, radiance, positivity, genuineness and kindness that showed in everything you did. 
 
We shared many precious memories watching our children grow up together. Your endless love and devotion to your family will continue to support Ara and guide Alec and Aleen for a long time to come. Your light will forever surround them with love and warmth. 
 
I will miss you forever. Rest in peace beautiful Tanya.
 
Love always, Randala


Dear Tanya,

They say Elegance is an attitude and you were the most elegant, humble human being I’ve met. I looked up to you and you were a role model for me and around you I felt I could learn to be a better person. You were mesmerising and the aura you had was simply magical. You have touched forever so many of us and I wish I had the chance to tell you these and so much more. 

I will pray for your soul to rest in peace  and for Ara and the kids to find the strength to go on.

                  FROM BREEDA AND COLM… DUBAI …


Dear Tanya

Things happen that we can never understand and why God has taken you now is hard to comprehend.

I shall always remember your kindness, your empathy and your happy smile.

I have so many  memories of the times we all spent together at the tennis with our ‘black and white coffees’ and copious supplies of fries or cheese and grapes courtesy of you and Ara.  Memories I will always treasure. 

Farewell Tanya.  Rest in eternal peace.  





Dear Tanya,

I cannot believe that you are gone. I am heartbroken.

I thank God that I got to know you, my beautiful friend. I am glad that I got to see your creativity and talent, experience your warm generosity, work side-by-side and share laughs with you, and most of all, witness your unending love for Ara, Aleen and Alec. 

Your wonderful, gentle soul will forever remain in my heart.

Rest well my sweet friend.


Dear Tanya,
I didn’t get to say goodbye. 
The last time we spoke, you told me you cannot afford to leave because your children need you. 
You were so strong and brave, you were fighting hard and I believed you. 
So, we said to each other: see you soon. 
We didn’t know that it will be the last time. 
At first I was in a state of denial not wanting to admit that there will not be “soon”.  
Twenty years of friendship that meant so much and than gone.
We had that special Slavic connection and understanding. We shared our love of our children and all the small things about families and friends that make life beautiful.
You were always smiling and joyful. Full of kids stories. 
You were beautiful!
And you were very talented! 
Seeing your paintings and all the art projects you did with passion for kids schools made me so full of admiration. 
I was so lucky to know you and to say with pride that you are my friend. 
I didn’t get to say goodbye, you are gone too soon. 
To my beautiful friend who was taken too soon
I love you and miss you
Radmila 


Dear Tanya,

We will never forget your beautiful smile and the wonderful person You were.
May your soul rest in peace.
May God give to your beloved husband and children the strength to live without  You .
Our sorrow and our deepest condolences to all the family.
Pina and Claudio

Life can be so cruel, taking someone as sweet as Tanya so early.  A lady with an eternal smile, always happy and full of positivity. 
You are in our prayers
God Bless

Dear Tanya,
You left this world so quickly. We still wonder why. For the saddest part of all, we never had the opportunity to say goodbye.
You left us many memories; to us you were so dear & the times we spent together are engraved in our hearts for eternity.
Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.
Rest in Peace.
Soheila & Darius


Dearest Tanya, 
it’s with heavy heart that I am preparing to say goodbye to you. Your smile, your love and your continuous attention and caring for everyone will be dearly missed. 
I am short of words, as the sorrow and the pain are so much piled up on my heart. I can’t stop thinking about you and  your family. 
It’s heartbreaking.
 I wish to continue to think about you like when we were at school, working and waiting for our children, and we were inseparable and we shared so much of the same life experiences. 
Tanya, you  were a true, precious, sincere and affectionate friend and you will live forever in my heart. 
Dearest Tanya, my beloved friend, may the earth be light to you. RIP 💐❤️



That smile, her generous nature, her creative flair & passion for her family & friends – these special gifts are what we will remember of Tanya. We were blessed to have known her, to have been touched by her. Our deepest condolences to Ara, Alec & Aleen – her spirit & strength will live on through you.

Jeff and Adrienne O'Brien

It was with profound sadness that we heard of the untimely passing of dear Tanya. Due to this terrible pandemic we have been unable to travel and we were not aware that Tanya had been unwell. 

Such shocking news. Tanya was such a beautiful woman and person. Softly spoken, warm hearted, and always smiling. 

We can only imagine the pain and feeling of loss being experienced by Ara, Alex , and Aleen at this trying time. We can only express our love and heartfelt condolences to them and the entire family, and offer up our prayers for them. 

Dear Tanya is certainly among the Angels. May her Soul Rest In Peace. 

John and Anna Marie Sutcliffe.

Dear Tanya,
We knew you as the most loving wife and mother, and as the most wonderful human. Your positivity and light brought such joy to everyone around you. You will be forever loved and forever missed...

Rest In Peace.

With much love,
Jai and Nita

My Dear Tanya:
It’s so hard to accept that you will not be physically with us any more however the memories of all the shared love to our children and our sincere friendship will always fill my heart with joy. 
You were and will be always and amazing mother who was willing to do anything for Aline and Alec,: share all the special school moments, teach them and encourage everything they did . 
I was amazed by your creativity and hard work and I was latter amazed further by the strength of your spirit…..
You spread love and happiness around you, and I know that Ara and the kids as well as all of us (your lucky friends) will have that love in our hearts forever ….
It is not a good bye, it is only a farewell…

Dearest Madam Tanya,

Heaven is richer coz a beautiful soul an  Angel actually has came home  and earth is poorer as you depart from us.  Forever we will miss you.

You were a beautiful person inside out and  by your "TanyasTouch "  every one and every thing around you became beautiful.  Same with your famous favourite punch line that ^Life is Beautiful" , You left us all  nothing but only   beautiful memories  which we will forever cherish. 

Enjoy heaven now Madam,  please pray specially for strength  of Sir Ara, Alec, Aleen, all your family members and the rest of all of us.  Rest assured of our prayers too.  

P.S.  I can't cut short my name or use my nickname  since you said before  you like it coz  you majored in Spanish and it means "Miracle".  So even I felt like you were mad everytime you were calling me by my full name I can't complain.
 
And so  I want to say , I am Milagros  Heyres your first and last employee at Tanyaz, saying  Thank You for everything  Madam Tanya.  Farewell for now and see you in God's time and by God's will.


Tanya was so very special with an inner warmth and beauty that ran deep through her soul. The warmest of smiles, that wicked sense of humour and such great love and loyalty to her family and friends. We will miss you dearly.  Penny & Gary Chapman 

Dearest Tanya,
It is so hard to accept that you left this world, that we will not be able to see this loving , kind, affectionate human being again. But Beautiful people are eternal beings and You were  that beautiful person whose spirit will be always alive with us.  Your were always shining with your sweet caring personality. I remember when every time I ask you how are you dear Tanya, you were answering with your beautiful Armenian language " park Asdoudzo" which means "thanks to God".
Dear Tanya, may your bright spirit give strength and peace to your beloved family. 



Tatiana ma'am was a warm, loving, generous soul who always went above and beyond to make others happy. In my short span of knowing her, never once was I found without a smile on my face around her, she had that aura surrounding her. She was a person who faced any challenge in life, no matter how big or small, with a smile on her face. During her treatment, she always came in with a positive outlook with Sir Ara by her side, supporting her and caring for her. A person who was always very thankful for the service provided by the staff and never failed to acknowledge it, often showering us with blessings and warm wishes. Her love and warmth towards all of other remained me of Mother Mary. You'll be terribly missed by all of us. Rest in Peace.

A moment lasts all of a second,but the memory lives on forever Rest in Peace madam Tanya

Tanya was not only the most gentle, kind, intelligent and creative person but also had such a wicked sense of humour. Her first love and priority were always her family and I really hope Ara, Aline and Alec will find the strength in those loving memories to sustain them through these next few months and years. Sending all our love. The Dennehy’s xx

Dear Tanya,
You were one of the most humble,positive and caring person I ever knew,it’s very heartbreaking knowing you had to leave us all this early,I pray for your beautiful soul to Rest In Peace and know that you will always remain alive in our hearts.

My Dear Friend Tanya, 
As I recollect my memories I find us always in the hallways of the old campus of our kids school, sharing our common joys and concerns . I also find us in parent conferences, school workshops, food festivals, concerts and shows. I find  you always engaged and present with your heart full of love , your never ending efforts to give to the community , yet your extraordinary modesty. I recall your 5th grade graduation ideas and tireless work to make this day special for all kids. Your talent and work poured into the homeroom doors of our elementary school as well as hallways of both campuses for every celebrative occasion. 

May you rest in peace my dear friend!  My thoughts are with your beautiful children Aleen and Alec, whom were the world to you , may your humble and graceful modeling of an amazing human being, shine on them to show them the path forward. 
My deepest condolences to your husband , may he find strength to carry on the work you have both started. As well as deep condolences to the rest of the family. 

With much love and deepest respect!
Alzeta Strazimiri




Dear Tanya:
Thank you for teaching me how to be brave, and how to deal with worst situations with wisdom and tolerance. Thank you for all those beautiful moments that we shared together. I know I’ll never find someone like you again, an amazing, intelligent and supportive friend, and a role model mother. We have all went through the ups and downs in our lives, but I truly believe that without your support and advice, I wouldn’t be the same person that I am today. I will always remember you for being a unique individual who always cares about everyone  and putting in all the effort to make sure everyone is happy. I’ll always remember you. Rest In Peace my dear friend.
Ghadeer Alsayouf 

Tanya was one of the nicest and loveliest person I ever knew . She was a super wife super mom and a super nice person . We are devastated to lose her and I ask God  WHY ? 
Lots of love to Ara and the kids and the whole family and I pray for them for  strength to deal with this heartbreak . 

Tanya was a wonderful person who I was lucky enough to get to know over the past 9 years. Her beautiful children, Alec and Aleen were my students at DAA and it was very easy to see that these wonderful young people had impeccable parents raising them. While being an amazing homeroom parent, Tanya also took time to support me as a new mom and share her wisdom over the years. She will be missed and will hold a very special place in my heart always. God Rest Her Soul 🙏🏻


My Dear friend Tanya

Dubai will never be the same for me.

You were a wonderful, kindhearted woman, always helping and going out of your way. 

I miss the days we would sit chat and laugh while waiting for our kids to finish school and our little catch up on Tuesdays at the MOE to do our weekly shopping, we would just stand there and talk non stop and laugh.

I will always remember you with all my heart 
Rest In Peace my friend 
Love Hanan ❤️❤️



My Dearest Tanya,
We met 23 years ago at Spanish Flamenco night. 
We fell in love and we got married 20 years ago. 
You were a dream wife, a wonderful and caring mother. You made us all better human beings. 
You dedicated your life to your family and to your community. You cared a lot about the people around you and everyone loved you. 
Unfortunately, God had different plans for you. You were in pain and God needed angels in heaven. You are a beautiful angel who’ll watch over us from heaven. 
I miss you, Alec and Aleen miss you, we all are going to miss you.
One day, I hope I’ll deserve to be with you, again. 
I will forever love you. 
Your husband 
Ara
