Cousins posing for a picture

Mom, Thank you for welcoming me into this beautiful family. I admired your resilience and capacity to love. The day we met I saw how and why I fell in love with your son. Keno is a strong, loving, and remarkable person that you raised. We spent many times talking about your family and what they meant to you. I will miss your laugh and most of all your embraces every time we came home for a visit. At our wedding you said you finally have a daughter and I was blessed to say I had another mother. You will remain forever in our hearts. Until we meet again in another chapter in another book. I love you. 

Ms. Tanya, had a laugh that felt like sunshine—warm, genuine, and contagious. Not just a laugh you heard but one you felt deep down in the core of soul. She was the embodiment of elegance, carrying herself with a grace that was both effortless and inspiring. I will miss our talks—always offering guidance, peace, profound understanding and compassion. I will miss your selfless and resilient nature. Always putting the needs of others before your own. I hold such beautiful memories of you in my heart—memories that I will carry with me throughout my life. So many things remind me of you, from the little moments we shared to the lessons you taught me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Rest in paradise. 💜 

Mom, your beautiful smile, your witty personality and your warm heart will always be remembered . Not only did you have your three incredible boyz, but you opened your heart to all your extended kids. Thank you for the great memories that we had growing up and thank you for spoiling us with the best macaroni and cheese ever. Always in our hearts love always your Jenny 

My cousin Tanya gave me precious memories especially living in Queens N.Y. Strength & Blessings to the family. Love Val

My thoughts are with you, Keno, Jason and Armand, on the passing of your mother wishing you strength and comfort. Love your Cousin Dee (Kordelia) ♥️🙏🏼♥️

So sorry for your loss.  Sending you all love, peace and positivity. Your mother was so sweet and loveable to Luis and I and we will miss her. 

It is with a heavy heart while I express my love for my cousin. I remember the wonderful times we had at Sis’s Horizon (Our Grandmothers Hotel) in Big Indian, NY. It was the last time I was at a drive-in movie (We watched the Graduate) and ran all over the place. (Smile) Then when the summer was ending, we went to Oneonta State University to get her settled into college. I departed the city to start my 30-year military career. I June of 2017 my sisters Val and Dee and I visited her at her apartment and had such a beautiful time. We would text and occasionally talk. Then she called and told me she was moving to Charlotte, NC. She would have been a 5-minute drive from my house, and we had a Greenway that attached both our sub-divisions right to the back of her home. My heart is so broken we cannot have those walks. It would have been a chance for us to see each other’s families because I know her boys would be there often. Tanya, I love you and will always remember such great memories we had together. Love Bruce

I miss you everyday auntie. It's rough without you right now. I know you're in a better place, it still doesn't make it any easier. I love you, and you will be dearly missed. Rest In Power.

Oh Mom, you will be dearly missed. Please rest in knowing your life and love will live on in your boys! Rob and I adore you and the love you showed us through the years. We have been blessed to have you in our hearts and lives. We love you Mom! 💗 rest in beautiful peace 🙏
