This was my Tanya Louise she was my 1st friend when I moved to NC 26 years ago. We worked together at Magnolia Place learned so much from her. The laughs the sweetness of Tanya just being Tanya is what I'm going to miss. The love she always shared, I was truly blessed to have her as my friend and sister when I needed one. I love you Tanya. To her family I'm sending all the love I have for her to you. I love you Tanya and you presence, love, laughter and smile will be missed.

I will always be grateful for the wonderful care Tanya offered me as a resident of Elsie's Family Care Home. She was a tender, thoughtful person that I looked forward to seeing when she was here. I feel so appreciative that she had such a giving heart. It is hard to believe she has moved on but just know she will be dearly missed. Warmly, Betty Lane

This was our Mary J Blige back in the 90's. Man we use to be clubbing all over eastern NC. She was just so sweet all of the time. I last saw her at Shawn's funeral last May. She told me she had to come show love and pay her respects bc we were like that back in the day. My heartfelt condolences to her family and close friends. Man, this is a great loss of a beautiful soul.
