My condolences is the loss of your sister. I’m so sorry that I had no idea of your pain and loss.
Tifani’s smile was so bright and warm. Every time we talked, she was bubbling with excitement about a new idea or project! Her sweet love for every living thing was so dear, and an inspiration. I can’t imagine a better person to have looking out for you from the other side. Tifani, I miss you and can’t wait to see your smile again someday! Journee and the rest of the family, you’re in my heart.
Love you Tif!
I haven’t seen Tiffani in quite a while, but I will always remember her smiling face on Christmas Eves when we were younger. I wish I’d had the chance to see the beautiful young mother she has grown into.
I am so sorry we won’t be able to make it to the funeral, but I know that you will have many family and friends nearby to surround you with comforting arms. Please know that we love you, and even though we are separated from a distance, we will always be with you in our thoughts and prayers.
With much love,
Sarah and Shaun McCarthy

So many great memories of Tifani, as a young mother full of life and love for Journee. A whirlwind of laughter and fun. I am so shocked and heartbroken that her time here was cut short. She had more to do and more to be, it is a loss for everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and we hope to be able to love on Journee Ray as she grows. The Martin’s.
Tif,
I’ll join you up their one day and we can pet chickens and ducks and be farmcore girls together. I’ll miss you and think of you often. Love and my sympathy to all the family and of course the cutest special lil’ girl you brought into this world.
Mad love girl,
Jenn
I’m so numb, there are no words to describe the pain you are going through during this most difficult time in your lives. There are no words to say that will make this any easier. Just know that all of you are so very much loved, your in my heart and in my prayers. May God welcome her with open arms. And know that she is in a better place. We will miss her so very much.
Tifanie was a great person who left way to early. She will be missed by alot of people. I am thinking and praying for your family and friends to find peace through this extreamly hard time.
We are thinking of the whole family. It’s that time of year where our family would get together with Tif & her little one and bbq and play in the park. So sad we won’t get to do that this year.
Know that we are holding each one of you in our hearts and celebrating Tif’s life with everything we do and every breath we take. Her sense of humor and mischief have invaded our home.
Our world will never be the same, now that we’ve been hit by that fantastically whimsical whirlwind that Tifani wrought. And we are so grateful for that.
Love, blessings, and prayers from our family to yours.
Abby, Amy, and kids
We are grieving with you the loss of dear Tifani, who had become almost a member of our family. She was bright and sparkly like a star and brought much laughter and grace to every situation. We will miss her intuition and savvy, lavished on Annelise. We will miss, too, the pixie-like charm she exuded whenever she entered our home. God be with her and you, her family.
