There is not a day that gone by since the day we heard of Tatiana's passing that we have not thought about her. Omar and I lived next door for over seven years and it was a joy to have had her in our lives. She was so full of life and LOVED our horses and dogs which led to her getting "Lucky". Tati and I used to love making apple pies together and she was showing an interest in learning to quilt at a very early age. We thank God for the time he gave us with her and look forward to seeing her again.

Tot's my love!
Each time I began to write to you I would start to cry again. No more Tots my love! And that cherished response, Auntie! Wow Tot's. That day when you left us. You took off and soared! I guess you were making up for all that time where you couldn't run all those years without being out of breath. I understand. 

Thank you for such wonderful memories. That beautiful hot summer day where you discovered all that clay in the river up at Index. I still remember those words of yours "Hey Auntie! they pay a fortune for this stuff in high end salon's! You, me and even your uncle Alan ended up completely covered in the stuff. I still have the picture of us in all our muddy glory. 

The fun we had at the 5th Avenue theater seeing "Wicked." How beautiful you looked. Many heads turned to get a glimpse of you. The game nights we all had together. Remember when we played Dominion and you won by a landslide because you kept playing that evil witch card? I still think back on that and laugh. I remember how we would sit on the floor of the bookstores with a pile of books and have huge discussions on which we liked the best. One of many bonding moments I'll never forget. 

I think one of my faves is when you were secretly raising white snakes in your bedroom closet because your dad said "no snakes! Thank you for trusting me by letting me in on your secret. All went pretty well I think until the cat went on the rampage. I didn't think you would mind if I shared your secret now. Speaking of cat. I really got a kick out of you and your cat "Sob" riding the bus to the pike market to visit friends. How'd you ever pull that one off? 

You know sweetie, I could go on for hours talking about the joy you have given us all. Just know what an impact you had. OMG the people just kept coming to your celebration of life. They were in the balconies and out the door! What a beautiful send off for you. You loved so many people! And so many people loved you.

Until we meet again Tot's my love!
Your Auntie. Karolyn
