Her smile lit the room and she always went out of her way to say hello to EVERYONE at church. We have the hope of the resurrection, so take heart in that. She is safe and enjoying glory which is where we will all be reunited someday. May the peace that passes all understanding sustain you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Tanya's passing. We played soccer together when we were younger and she was such a light to be around. My favourite memory of Tanya, Sharon you might remember this, we were coming home from a soccer game in Truro and you got a flat tire on the highway outside of Bible Hill. You had the car jacked up and were working on getting the tire off when my mum and I pulled over to help. I get to the car and there is Tanya, sitting on the ground, in full soccer gear, legs under the car trying to get the tire off. You were yelling at her to get out from under the car but she was on a mission to get the tire fixed. I can't remember how or who fixed the tire, but I always remembered Tanya's determination to get the job done. Her smile and infectious laugh will be missed by so many. Our thoughts are with you all. With love, The Dykstra's

Mike and family: I am so sorry to hear of Tanya's passing. To say I was shocked and saddened to read the news would be an understatement. I was privileged enough to get to know Tanya through the Futureworx CCA program. The thoughts and condolences of my wife and I go out to your family at this difficult time. I will always remember her sparkling personality and the energy she brought into whatever room she was in. I remember the day of your wedding well. It was such a beautiful down by the lakes of Trenton park but the radiance of Tanya that day outshone everything. I hope you can find comfort during this difficult time and my heart is with you all - Shaun Bond

An angel named Tanya has been called home far too soon.
I had the absolute pleasure and true honour of being connected with Tanya as her Student Services Advisor at NSCC while she was in the Practical Nursing Program. We had many chats together and I always enjoyed her presence, her heart, her warm and loving smile and was inspired by her positivity. I am grieving with you, her family and friends, in her tragic passing.
Tanya actually provided care to my elderly Aunt while working with the VON this past year and my family is forever grateful for the warmth and compassion she shared while caring for her.
I offer deepest sympathies and caring thoughts and prayers to the entire Stewart and Rector family. May God bless you all and comfort you.

My memory would the night shifts at the Villa !
That night she explained how she was upset and was anxious.
Explained her anxiety and how it bothers her at times..
That night Tanya never had to worry again.
When she came in on night shift working with me.
My words were don't you ever worry again..
Everyone has issues.
You having this is most like everyone else .
You will never be judged by healthcare workers,
And fact she wanted to be LPN
Which i said you will be a great Nurse.
You have the Calling when you have those feeling act on it
She told me she got in..
And i told her when ever you are working with me.
Bring the books i will help you.
She was friends on face book with my son which i didn't even know at the time.
It was a pleasure to have meet you .
And it is awful sad day to find out how you were taken away .
Sad for family .
And their families and your close friends
Your kindness will be forever known
Your Angell wings you have earned .
Your kindness for others
Will think of you always
May Jean LPN....

It was right before Christmas I was working with her at valley view villa, I was on my break sitting in my car, Tanya comes over and taps on my window and she hands me a Tim card. She said that I inspired her because I was a single working mom. That was 5 years ago and that gesture has never left me. The kindness she had for everyone, When I left the villa and moved to work at another facility Tanya has always been in my thoughts. It was truly a privilege to have known her and worked beside her
