We just learned that Tanya had passed. Our hearts go out to Steve and all her friends. The birds miss her also, of that we are sure! She was a wonderful person, a fun character that will be sorely missed 

Time nor Death can erase the blessings you have given our lives.  R.I.P. dear friend 
Dear friend across the miles to me and my birds.  Our beloved cyber-buddy Doo Diligence has our prayers.

Steve and the family know that we're praying for you guys during this time, and we look forward to the greatest family reunion ever, when we see our loved ones again in the clouds and  be with our Lord Jesus Christ forever, where there will be no death or sorrow ever again. We love you guys and again praying for you all.

Sending heartfelt condolences to Tanya’s family, especially Steve and Pete! Tanya was so much fun, clever and joyful. I met her on Bird Channel where her beloved Kookie was my Picabos’ girlfriend and her Doo Diligence was one of Picabo’s treasured friends.  What a wonderful friend, she’ll always be in my heart! Fly free, Tanya! Love you forever!

We were so sorry to hear of Tanya's passing. Although we didn't know Tanya for a long time, she left her mark on our lives. She will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve and her many friends. Tanya is with our Lord and Savior Jesus now.  May that bring peace to the ones who love her.
