I am still at a loss for words, finding it hard to believe you are gone.
I read this somewhere, and everytime I start I start to break, I try to remember...
"Goodbyes are not forever, Goodbyes are not the end. They Simply mean I'll miss you, until we meet again."
My prayers for strength and healing are with you all during this time.
Until we meet again Tia...muah

I met Tia and immediately felt as Id known her forever. She is my best friends mother and her passing is so surreal. We had the best conversations at her dining room table and our annual shopping trips were filled with tons of laughs! I was blessed to know her for the short time I did. I always admired all the love she had for her husband and family. She will be missed greatly! My thoughts and prayers to Ken and the family at this difficult time!

I can't believe yet that she's gone spent that morning with her about a month or so ago after she texted me. Loved her like a sister. Just the thought that's she's gone brings tears to my eyes. Ken take care of yourself you were so good to her. But as you know she loved you so. And the kids. I meet Misty . Sosorry. And her sibling I knew some of them Randy and Lil Warren. And of course Warren Sr. She always watched out for my girls . And so glad she did. They loved Tia as mush as she loved them. She worked at the Meadows with both my girls for over 20 years. She is one lady who's going to be missed love ya Tia Bobea
