TANYA FAYE DE DENUS

Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

• Most people search for years -I was lucky to find my little kindred spirit within my first 4. Tanya lit my childhood worth a lifetime. Tanya and her family opened up many enjoyable and diverse experiences that I hold close to my heart. Welcoming me into their home like it was my own - safe space. Going to the zoo, the theatre , watching tanya in childrens improve /drama classes with MTYP , outdoor activities -jumping on the trampoline -many hours of us getting dirty exploring the yard - molding little minds ♡ Two peas in a pod. Complimenting each others humor that maybe only made sense between us. Little silly voices, tiny things, little figurines, cute animals, fluffy was funny. Silliness I see in my daughter as she grows to the age we were -fortunate to revisit these triggered memories. Thank you for being you. Sharing that giggle, holding pieces of your inner child in silliness and play even while having to adult. Loving fiercely - speaking your mind, fighting that inner fight. Miss Firey soul. I hope you can feel the love from MANY that love you. I am grateful to have had you as my first true best friend/soul sister. Find that peace my girl & shine. You are the good. Thinking of you Mark, Christine, Felix & family. Sending all the love and strength. - Posted by: Harmony Rees (Coy) (Childhood best friend) on: Mar 16, 2017

• The world lost a fierce woman. A woman who always stood up and spoke against injustice. A woman who advocated for fairness. A woman who despite needing help, opened her heart to help others. A woman who was a light giver to dark places & illuminated those places with a pure spirit. A woman who brought truth to the surface, simply to give an opportunity for change. A fearless soul. A woman who had the power and energy of a volcanic eruption, but at the same time, was gentle... like the calm found in a forest. I will always remember us playing as children... God bless you & keep you, with so much love. Thank you. - Posted by: Kristin (Coy) O'Hearn (Family Friend) on: Mar 16, 2017

• My heart has broken with the news of Tanya's passing. Mark, Christine, Wendy and family, we (Harmony, Kristin, Josh and myself) send prayers that you be surrounded by peace and be strengthened during this difficult time. Tanya will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember when I first got to know her as a little girl. She was so quiet, gentle and shy, but also had the fearlessness to speak out when she perceived anything as unfair. I'm so glad I was able to spend some time with her upon her return to Manitoba. She had grown into such a beautiful young woman (inside and out). In our conversations, I found that she had a genuine caring and concern for others. I was amazed by her sensitivity and gift of knowing/sensing exactly how a person was feeling. She will always be in my heart and remembered. I send much love to her on her journey. - Posted by: Charlen (Family friend) on: Mar 16, 2017

• Tanya has always been a beautiful person to me and she showed me so many things that are and can be beautiful in life. When she was happy her smile and laughter was so infectious. She opened a door in my life I thought that could never be opened. She was my girlfriend years ago. One day when it was raining in Tucson after a a few years of no rain it started to pour. The traffic was backed up for 20 minutes so I pulled into a parking lot and put on one of our songs on in the car. It was Insensatez by Antonio Carlos Jobim. I jumped out of the car and left my door opened and then opened her door and I asked her would you dance with me? She said yes. We held each other close as we danced slowly in the rain for almost ten minutes with the volume up pretty high and everyone in traffic was watching us. She cried with me because she has never had a something so romantic, so spontaneous, and so heartfelt in her life. I wanted to give her the world. She deserved it. After we got back in the car almost everyone was honking their horns because they all knew that was the best romantic act of love they had ever seen. Because of her she made me a better man. She taught me how to love. She taught me how to care. She saw something no one else ever could... She said I was a beautiful person because I was so passionate about music and how it effects my emotions as well how she opened my eyes and my soul. She will always be a huge impact in my life I will never forget her. We shared so many beautiful moments. I will miss her voice and her advice she gave me when I felt vulnerable. She always knew how to cheer me up when I felt I wasn't good enough in life. She changed my life forever. She was and always is a deep person in so many ways. I will always miss Tanya and everyone that had their heart touched by her will miss her so much. Tanya always had the most beautiful soul and the world won't be the same without her. Her friends and I will always love and miss her. - Posted by: Ron Carringer (ex boyfriend, friend) on: Mar 12, 2017
