Thank you for the memory picture. Tiffany had so many friends and when I found this site, my heart was touched where it has been hurting since the second I found out my daughter was gone..
She loved so many people and was loved my so many.
I am not much of a friend of Tiffany’s but she was a dear friend to my sons and their friends. I met Tiffany 10 years ago and have paid attention to her wonderful creative evolution.
I am so sad that she has left us – the world loses some of it’s beauty with her passing.
I hope everyone can be strong and stay close to her her vision. I send my love and peaceful prayers to her family and friends.
Thanks for the pictures and words. Tiffany was one of my best friends growing up. We used to travel to surf contests together, had many “firsts” together, she was a sister to me. We lost touch 10 years ago and we had just found one another about a year ago (thanks to myspace). She had hoped that I could make it out to Bali to “re-live” our surfing/bodyboarding days…that will never happen. I love her and miss her dearly, when I look at the photo posted I see my 12-20 year old friend! Thanks, I needed to see her eyes…mesmerizing!
JILL- I am coming to Memphis, TN. I hope to see you!
Thanks for the beautiful picture Siouxzen,
From the day I met Tiffa she touched my life. I hope that I left even a fraction of an impression on her as she did on me. When she left I was bluntly reminded how much of my world revolved around her and the world she helped to create, and how much I looked forward to seeing her when apart.
She was one of the most brilliant, inspired, creative people I have ever met. She was always so far ahead of me that I would just have to look on in awe and pride that this is my friend. She is ahead of me again and I look forward to the day when I get to see her again in the next.
I love you Tiffa, my selfish heart wants you back just to ease the pain but I know you know what you are doing, I know you are making wherever you are more amazing.
Maybe where you are can hold someone truly beautiful as you.
i lost my sister in 9-11 of last september i pray for all you and hope the best for you guys …<3 brittany

The Ones Not Meant to Stay
You came and went so quick, my loves
No chance to run or play,
a brief sad hour of life, my loves
and then you went away.
I turn for knowledge to my friends
seeking comfort in what they say
Not sad, they tell, to lose the ones
that were not meant to stay.
Better quick and clean and over fast
than to linger on in pain.
It’s best to lose them now, dear friend
than to nurse them on in vain.
In my head I know they are right,
though my heart aches every day,
I wish for what could not have been
I wish they could have stayed.
My sorrow is not for ribbons lost
or for shows they may have won
I grieve for lives that I helped create
that were over before they’d begun.
For when humans choose to be as gods,
and to make lives for our play,
We forget that part of being a god
is to watch life slip away.
You came and went so quick, my loves
and I grieved you did not stay,
but soft laps awaited in heaven, my loves
aand we’ll meet at the bridge someday.

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE WORDS OF KINDNESS AND SUPPORT. TIFF CAME TO US EARLY AND LEFT US EARLY.
SHE IS ONE OF A KIND AND I LOVE HER SO.

My God my heart is crying I just found out, more than 2 years later~
Geez, right when I moved, I must have missed the news.
I am writing some works in honor of Tiffa. Thank you so much Siouxzen.
