Tanya Robinson Obituary

Today is Tanya's birthday. We miss her with all our hearts.

To honor Tanya we are establishing a scholarship in her name and will be issuing $500 per year. We also want to establish a foundation in her name and are looking into that and what needs to be done.

Her namesake, Tanya M., who always called Tanya her Tia Tanya, has a personality to match Tanya's. We are grateful to Tanya's California family for the honor.

Thank you to all who remember Tanya, her wisdom, wit and beauty.

Love to all of you,

Jorene and family

Mom, Jon, and David,
I will miss Tanya everyday. She was my best friend to the very end, even though I did not keep in touch with her as much as I should have. I will always regret that. Tanya has taught me to be very positive and to look at the best in everyone. She never looked at her illness as a negative, she was convinced that she would beat it. I will never give up on what I believe in because of her. She, even now, is my strength. She is a beautiful person with the biggest heart ever!
Ma, you raised a wonderful, caring daughter. The road may not have always been smooth, but I know she appreciated all you did for her. She loved you all and she is still with you - in your hearts and minds. She has made an impact in all the lives she has touched. She is indeed one of a kind.
I love you all,

Diana

Iam so deeply sorry to hear of Tanya's passing. I am sorry I never kept in touch with her after high school, she was a wonderful person. Tanya always seemed to be so happy and every time yoy saw her she had a smile on her face. I'm truely sorry for her passing.

I am so sorry for the loss of such an amazing and loving person. I went to high-school with Tonya and always looked forward to her smiling face and goofy stories. I am not sure what happened to her but I know she is in a better place. My prayers are with all of her family and friends.



Warm regards,

Dear Jorene, Jonathan & family:
We are so saddened to hear of Tanya's passing. I have thought of her often with fondness, and and will continue to do so. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Jorene and Gordon Family:

Dearest Jorene,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I will forever remember "Little" Tanya in Girl Scouts...so full of life and love.

Dear Jorene,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Tanya's death and want to express our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. The thoughts expressed in these messsages indicate Tanya grew into a lovely young woman, and I'm sorry I never knew her as an adult. I can't begin to imagine how devastating it must be to lose a child. Know that we are thinking of you and hope that time and memories of the good times will help to ease your pain.

Dear Jorene:

I cannot imagine the sorrow that you must feel over the loss of Tanya. I hope that the good Lord will ease your pain and replace it with peace.

Although I did not keep in touch with Tanya after high school, I can tell you that her contagious joy has affected me deeply. Tanya always looked for the good in everyone and in every situation. It seemed like she always had a smile on her face. This aura about her was truly a gift from God. During the lovely service you had for your daughter, there were many testimonials that verified this contagious joy.

Shortly after the memorial service, I witnessed a lost soul returning to God. I don’t believe that it was an accident or coincidental. Tanya’s life and death was used to glorify God. I’m sure that there will be many more instances where the lives that Tanya touched will be blessed even though she is gone. She will remain in my heart always. I consider it an honor to be able to call Tanya my friend.

John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."


May you be blessed with God’s grace!
