Tanya was a social butterfly who wasn't afraid to meet a stranger. She was a loving mother and a wonderful grandmother. She loved to see other people happy and she liked to spread happiness like a bright star. She will be forever missed until her family sees her again. "Fly high, you beautiful Angel."
