Our thoughts and prayers go out to Alyssa. Your mom is watching over you and will always be with you.
Tabitha, you will be missed. Our deepest condolences to Alyssa and family. This poem was believed to be originally written by a native American Indian and hope you find some comfort:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Cliff,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Deepest sympathy.

Our thoughts are with you Alyssa. Your mom is now the butterfly that appears before you, the wind the blows in your face, that little voice inside you… We hope you find comfort in family and friends.
Tabitha helped, encouraged and supported us as we trained and raised funds for CCFA in Dec 2011. We ran a half marathon with her on the Las Vegas strip at night. She was such a great sport and continued to be supportive to many more on a similar quest. Thanks Tabitha, We love you and will miss you.
Sending our deepest condolences to Alyssa and her family. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if we can do anything to help during this difficult time.
Rest In Peace Tabitha. You, Cliff, his brother, Chris, and all your families and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. Even though you and I never met, I know you were definitely a good and positive influence throughout your life. And from what I’ve read, you were determined on anything and everything you set your mind to. You made this world a BETTER place!
Tabitha was helping me train for my first half marathon for CCFA. She was positive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. She will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.
We are sending thoughts and prayers to Tabitha’s family during your time of sadness. We were just devasted by the news of her passing. We pray that you all will find some peace knowing that she has touched so many lives in such a positive manner. I hired her at McDonalds when she was just 16 and reconnected with her thru a relative of my husband’s some 10 years later. We will miss you Tabitha!
