A Life Full of Love
She lived with a sparkle,
A youthful heart and smile,
Finding joy in simple moments
And making every moment worthwhile.
She loved with all her heart,
With a spirit bright and free,
A daughter, mother, cherished friend—
A beautiful soul to many.
Five children knew her loving heart,
Her laughter and embrace;
And every memory they carry
Will forever hold her place.
Though life has called her home,
Her light will never fade.
For love leaves footprints on the heart
That time can never take away.
So celebrate the woman she was,
The joy she freely gave.
Remember Tanya with a smile—
Her love will live beyond the grave.
Her life was a gift.
Her memory is a treasure.
Her love will remain forever.
