(I have attached my favourite photo of Tiffany, taken with my daughter, Libby, in the spring of 2009. I joked that it was a photo of my oldest “baby” holding my youngest baby.)

Dear Mr and Mrs Bruckner- I met Tiffany at the walk in clinic and immediately had to wrap my arms around her and try to protect her from herself, and her demons. We spent good and bad times together, but I finally realized that I could not help her. she was unable to accept the help offered. We drifted apart and now my only wish for her is peace. I hope you also find peace and know that she felt your love always. My tears fall for her and how short and troubled her years were. Sorry I couldn’t have done more…
Love Laurie
Ray, Sharon and family…I wanted you to know that when i spoke with Tiffany at yoga she was always smiling, and so kind- her presence was always felt. I hope your family can find a bit of peace somewhere along this journey of sadness. She will be remembered. Deepest sympathy, Patti Dorin & family

Dearest Ray and Sharon,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Tiffany as the bubbly little girl racing around your dining room table when mom and I visited as we made the move to the West Coast so many years ago. She was indeed a bright and beautiful child.
I know that Dad would have wanted to be with you as you face this hardship & wish that I could be there tonight. Please know that our thoughts are with you today and in the difficult days ahead.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Tiff. I went to school with her and also played soccer with her and am sorry that we drifted apart as we grew older. I hope that she is now resting in peace and not suffering anymore. She will be missed, but not forgotten.
Sharon, Ray, Stephanie & Family,
It is never easy to lose those closest to our hearts. I was very saddened to read of Tiffany’s passing …. I remember her at the arena for Stephanie’s Skating Competitions with that bright beautiful smile and her energetic spirit!
Sending big hugs and my love to you all …
Take Good Care,

Dear Ray, Sharon, Stephanie, and family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Tiffany, working at the hospital and yes I was one of those patients she spent too much time on, and I am incredibly that she was there to hold my hand, I also frequented Starbucks and it was a joy to see her smiling face. She is missed but not forgotten
Heather and Lauren English
That!! is how she addressed me….always!!! I miss that; I miss that smile, I miss those hugs, I miss that laughter, I miss those eyes, I miss the girls’ friendship, I will hold her within.

We are so sorry to hear of Tiffany’s passing. Although we only knew her from her work environment, she touched our lives each time we saw her. We would look forward to seeing her on our evening walks and she always had a smile for us. She was an amazing, vibrant person,and she will not be forgotten.
Dear Ray and Sharon,
Please know that we are holding you near to our hearts during this very sad time. Dad was a man of few words but he always had kind things to say about Tiffany. He would have felt such deep sorrow for your loss.
All our love,

Dear Sharon, Ray and Family,
I am incredibly sad about the passing of Tiffany. When I think of her I remember her bright smile and happy nature that was infectious. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Sharon, Ray and the Bruckner and Yamamoto families,
Please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May your memories of Tiffany help you through the coming days and in time, bring a smile to your face.
With deepest sympathy,

I am so sorry to just realize of her passing away. I was in hospital myself from January to February. I was friends with her when we met playing soccer. We grew apart as we grew older. I am sad that I had no idea until a friend told me today who was on a missions trip. I will never forget her smiling face when I’d see her around town or at the hospital. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family during this time.
R.I.P Tiffany
I lived together with Tiffany at Penny Lane group home. I was a very different person, very volatile and out of control. We fought a lot but slowly, I remember moments of kindness kept creeping in until I started feeling like she was like a sister. I remember when we spoke like friends and I stopped being mean to her. I felt heartbroken after all these years to have that memory come up only to find she died almost 10 years ago. Wow. Life sometimes really hits you. Now I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I pray for your family that they find Him too and maybe that’s why I was brought here. If any of you want to reach me, my email is dylan_matheson@hotmail.com
God bless and thank you for the memories with Tiffany
