Dawn, my heart goes out to you and your family. You have had more grief than many will see in a lifetime. I am so impressed the way you keep your head up. Your little Tasha will be missed, but not forgotten. I will think of her often and know she has many guardian angels leading her on this path. Until we meet again little lady!

LaDawn, I was looking for an obituary when I came across Tasha's. My heart aches for yet another loss you have to endure. What a beautiful young lady Tasha grew up to be...David had open arms waiting for her! Not a day goes by I don't think of David. He helped mold me into the person I am today. Take care and many thoughts and prayers sent your way. Your friend, AnnMarie
