Sending my sincerest condolences. Tasha, there are many memories and laughs we shared. In life there is always a thought of having time when you fall out of touch with friends. I never expected for that time to run out so soon. You are gone way too soon. You will be missed by all who knew you. I hope you are resting peacefully.

Remembering Tasha as a little girl when my daughter introduced me to her new friend around the age of seven. Looking at pictures of her at my daughter's 10th birthday party, she was so sweet and polite, that was something that never changed about her. She grew into a beautiful woman, with a smile to match. She would always greet us with a warm hug whenever we ran into her. That sweetness in her never changed. There are no "right" words at a time like this, but to be able to let her family know she was truly loved by us and will always hold a loving, special space in our hearts forever. Sylvia, may God give you and your family comfort and strength now and for the days ahead.
With Love,
Karen Shannon-Madison

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Sweet Tasha. She was very close to our family especially to my husband Melvin. We were honored and elated when she asked us to be Camden's godparents. Tasha was like a daughter we never had and a sister to our sons. I thank her mother Sylvia for sharing Tasha with us. Our family will always hold a special spot in our hearts for Tasha, Camden, Austin and Sylvia. (Tasha give Melvin a big hug for me.)
With All My Love,
Martha Jordan

Tasha was truly like a sister to me, and it made my heart happy when she called me little brother. I'll forever miss our breakfast tradition that we did far too little. To her family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Tasha will truly be missed.

You will truly be missed, Tasha. Rest in paradise, love
