IN LOVING MEMORY

My dear friend Tawny passed away in a tragic accident on May 19th... 

Tawny was an amazing woman. We shared so many great times!! I will love and miss her always, and cherish our memories forever.

There are many feelings and opinions on the events leading up to this tragic death. I encourage people to set aside any judgements and anger; let go of the if-only's, and remember Tawny with the same amount of love and respect she showed everyone around her. She hated negativity. In fact, it made her very uncomfortable. I would hate for it to be such a big part of people's memories of her.

My hope is that, instead of so many other blogs and online posts I've seen, this can be a place where people can leave their fond memories of Tawny, and their respects to her. Without the blame, accusations, gossip, lies and other things that have so sadly been thrown into the story of the life of our friend.

(I will delete any negative or disparaging comments. Thank you for showing respect for the memory of our friend.)

Tawny was an beautiful, vibrant, silly, fun and crazy woman. She loved to dance, she loved her bright red lipstick, and she loved to ride. She loved flowers in her hair, butterflies, and the color purple. She loved cooking, cleaning and Michael Jackson. 

Tawny loved her family and friends. Dearly.

Tawny was magnetic. She could make anyone feel special. Like they had known her all their life. Her smile alone could draw anyone in.

We've all have Tawny-Stories. We all knew her for different lengths of time, throughout different periods of her life, through different people and things... But we all knew her.

Please feel free to share any stories or pictures from the time you were blessed to have shared with Tawny Marie!!
