I miss you, Tiff. I still talk to you and ask for your input on life stuff. I consider you to be one of the angels in my circle. I will never forget our instant friendship that should´ve lasted on earth foe many more years. I loved it when you met Kevin Martin of Candlebox. So nervous & you burst into tears talking to him about "far behind". That song will always make me think of you, along with "wish you were here" & i do wish you were here.

MY SISTER
Tiffany our hearts are broken forever,
People tell us that in time the pieces will eventually come back together,
If this is true, though hard to believe now, there will always be a space,
The piece to which has your name on its place.
Tears have been falling now for so long,
When we think of your beautiful face it all seems so wrong
You had so much to look forward to and so much left to do
But God needed somebody in heaven who is as special as you.
Nothing is the same now and we doubt it ever will be
You have been released from pain and suffering, you have been set free.
Your story has touched people, all ages, near and afar
On the night you were taken from us, in the sky was a lone twinkling star.
Was that you to tell us that you had reached home now?
And from life as we knew it, it was time for you to take your final bow.
We miss your voice, your infectious laugh
Fashion you loved and now you have new accessories a pair of Angel’s wings.
The world has lost a wonderful girl, a true and amazing friend.
But maybe her goodness was needed to help and from heaven she needed to send.
Tiffany you are always around us, engulfing us with your love
Giving us strength, keeping us close and watching over us from above.

Mrs. Trumbulovic was a great mother! She was always at the school helping out and concerned about her children. I pray that they are able to move on after this tragedy. The Portage Park School community will miss her very much!

I will miss you but never forget you. I remember going and eating at the Ferris Wheel on State street when you worked there. I remember the times we shared with all our friends and the great laughs we had. Most of all I remember that you were always nice to me and wanted to help whenever you could. I remember not seeing you for the longest time, 15 years, then being reunited with you at Ronnies party and having a great time. RIP Tiff, may your family find solice that your in a better place now, just way too soon.

Tiffany people often say to tell people you love that you love them much more often . On January 31st you said "I love you girl." Who would have ever thought you would say that to me ? LOL . I can only tell people how amazing those words are , I will carry them forever. You have taught me to say them much much more often, thankyou for that wonderful lesson. You were always helping people a trait the members of your family are just amazing at. Thankyou and I love you too girl !!!!!

kindred spirits, you & I
pledged to be friends until we die
instant friends,and now you fade
a loss that takes my breath away
the impact hit, left me cold
a life cut short when you deserved to grow old
feel numb, feel angry- for the loss of my friend
left us too soon, hope we meet in the end
my tears fall freely, as i bid you goodbye
i guess God wanted you by His side
a beautiful soul, now angel in flight
may you hover around us, and still share your light....
xoxo~i'll be seeing you~
