This board did not deserve the presence of her dry wit, and it often soared above heads. RIP, teacher lady.

Bless her heart.

Well played, Sir!

Here....

When they break ground on TexAgs Hall of Fame, she will be in the first class of inductees.

Here.

A tragic loss for her young son. Prayers for him.

RIP Mrs. Tanya. You will be missed in the board.

Those were truly funny. And the posts that she would show from some of those women on the site she was on were nuts.

As I said, she and I really didn't get along well on here for the most part, it had mellowed some over the years, A mutual respect at least on my part, but she gave as good as she got and she stood her ground on her issues, even though we rarely agreed.

You've got to respect that.

Again, Here.

God bless you, Teach.

I miss you.

Here.

Always loved her lunchbox posts for Bennie.

Dang. Here.

Never knew Tanya personally, but when I was first out of school I was fairly anti Bush / Iraq war and would come on here to post and hot damn the minority we were. I knew Tanya the poster from back when and while I moved a different direction I sure did love to read her posts in the later years, still in the minority still standing her ground. Still pissing everyone off. And she was very pro-human - I admire that.

Her friend posted her address in Varsity said she needed a pick me up. I didn't see it until two days ago and likely too late, but I hope she got them in time it was - I sent a bouquet of white and blue flowers.

I think everyone on here would know why I picked the color blue.

Rest Easy our friend

She seemed like a classy lady and a devoted mom

Here …

Ugh. Here.

I remember that thread. I caught a ban because of it.

Here.

Tanya was indeed around since the GoBig12 boards. I never interacted with her much as she posted, a bunch, on other forums than I did. But over the years I grew to realize that we had a lot in common and likely crossed paths during our time in BCS, as per her posts we frequented some of the same places and had shared recollections.

Her dry wit was too funny, and as mentioned, and it flew past many. She brought many more smiles to the boards than grimaces and was a good person. Her presence will be missed. She surely found peace and comfort and I hope the same for her son, who she adored.

We had many conversations on here and one over a lunch, where she told me all about her struggles with faith. I pray she now rests in Jesus' arms.

There was a time in my life that I would have said she was old, not so much these days. Never met her, but likely crossed paths while we were in school. Since I am mostly a lurker, I loved to see her show up on a thread. It was always solid entertainment. On April 21st many of us will say "here" with sadness and a grin.

Dang. Here

You'll be missed Tanya. Like many we didn't always agree, but I appreciated you sharing how my work impacted your life, and I'm glad it helped when needed. May the Lord bless you as he receives you and provide comfort to Benny and your family. You blessed us and humanity everywhere.

She was one of my successful texags hookups when we shared pickle recipes… just found the email. From 2014.

I can honestly say that Tanya was the only poster on F16 that I knew the name of their kid, the area they lived, and their career in recent years.

I'm glad she is no longer in pain, and I will be praying for Benny. He probably has no idea the support happening on a random message board on the internet.

Join the club. I irritated her enough in the early years I was here, that even Benny knew my username but called me "that lady lawyer?" when she was complaining to him about me. But we got past that. (Maybe sharing my homemade and home canned squash relish recipe with her, kind of broke the ice. That squash relish was fabulous.)

When I learned she was ill and which ailments she had, I shared my late sister's story who had much the same ailments and how my sister just didn't give up and fought through them for decades before finally succumbing. Not something I had really shared in that depth here or anywhere before then. I understand much of what her daily life was like in the hospital, at home briefly with home nursing, being in an assisted living facility for as long as she had. Easy to get depressed and discouraged. So I hoped sharing the story of my later sister's indomitable spirit and fight would help in some small way.

She is at rest now. No more hourly challenges to grit her teeth and work through. No more loud noises from the other rooms or corridors. The indignity of having nurses take the most personal of care of her. End of life care can be brutal, not intentionally, just the way it is, especially for someone as sentient as Tanya.

I will miss her greatly.

I really liked that she didn't give two ****s about the heat she took on here. She'd just ignore it. I gave her lots of it. She earned my respect years ago. I wish she was still here today.

Here.

We will miss her. T&P for the family.

RIP Tanya.
