I remember riding the bus with Tasha when we were both very young. We used to sit together from time to time and I will never forget that friendship we shared. Even though we grew apart through the years, I would still think about Tasha from time to time. My heart goes out to all of Tasha's family and friends.
You will be truly missed.

Dennis and Robin and Family:
I just read about the death of your dear daughter La Tasha Marie. I remember with fondness how proud you were of her and the times that you talked about her while we journeyed together in Europe. Death has no closure, but the memories are here for a lifetime to cherish. Love, on the other hand, has no ending point. And we know that La Tasha is with her Savior and I am sure she is looking over all of her loved ones--especially her mother, father, daughters and significant other. Dennis and Robin and family, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I stand ready to be of any assistance I can. I love you, ckm

Our prayers are with you all! It's tragic for such a young life to be taken, but there are 2 precious little girls that will carry on Tasha's legacy and knowing Tasha as long as I have, I'm sure she will be watching & guiding them from Heaven's above. We will miss you Tasha!
Love,

My heart is heavy to know that Tasha isn't here anymore. My hope is that she is with the Lord and my prayers are with her family. We grew up together and to think of her not here anymore is strange. It reminds me that life is too short to not talk about the important things, the things that last. It's too short to hold grudges or to not say that we care for one another. I wish I would've taken more time to tell Tasha that I still thought about her from time to time and the memories I have with her growing up together as little girls will always bring a smile to my face. She was such a sweet person and her heart was so genuine. I can actually still remember what her giggle sounded like! And I can still picture in my mind where she wrote out the lyrics to Ghetto Superstar in my 8th grade yearbook! That certainly makes me laugh! I will miss knowing she is living a full and happy life, but my prayer is that God will comfort her family every time they miss her. Bye Tasha.

Charlotte-Words can not express how sad I am about your daughter. I am praying for the lord to bless you and help you get through this difficult time. Knowing she's in the loving arms of God, doesn't make it any easier, but hopefully it's comforting to know she's in a greater place and you will see her again one day. I'm thinking of you today and always-peace be with you all. God bless!!
