elevated 2cb39 Obituary
elevated 2cb39 Letitia you came into this world 80 years ago. You have lived your life in silence but communicating with us in your own language and making us understand every sign you made. You were caring, you were resilient, you were strong, you were compassionate, you were loving, you endured life without a complaint. You touched whoever you met with your smile and warm personality. This made you the person you were.

elevated 2cb39 It is weird isn’t it, sad/glad time:
elevated 2cb39 Glad she went quickly and made a good age,
elevated 2cb39 Sad for the loss of the person,
elevated 2cb39 Glad her times with siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends were filled with joy and laughter,
elevated 2cb39 Sad for no more opportunities to connect (better),
elevated 2cb39 Glad there was no long road of suffering and slow painful goodbyes.
elevated 2cb39 Sad because no time for goodbye at all.

Tisha you were a loving, caring person. Much loved and will be missed by us.
Rest In Peace.
Tisha, you wove togetherness and love into family gatherings through your genuine desire to connect with each and every one of us. Our loss is heaven’s gain – until we meet again!
Tisha you held me when I was first born, and held my kids when they were first born. You taught us empathy, love, compassion and to live life to the fullest.
My heart is broken. I will miss doing puzzles, colouring, playing cards, sweeping up crumbs, raking leaves and folding laundry with you but most of all I will miss and cherish your beautiful smile. I hope with every puzzle I complete, may a piece of my heart be filled again. You will always be the rummy card champion.
Mom, Aunty Susan, Aunty Anne, Uncle John, Uncle Mark and Uncle Mike – the way you cared of and loved your sister reflected in how she took care of and loved her nieces and nephews (and our kids). My sense of loss is nothing in comparison to what you feel and I take comfort in knowing that Tisha was loved and cherished by you and that she knew it!
Aunty Tisha,
The last time I saw you was on your 80th birthday. Although it was just a porch visit I’m so glad I was there to wish you on your special day. I didn’t know that would be the our last time together. I will miss your genuine laughter and smile. I will miss how you always told us how everyone was related and their birthdays. You touched each and every one of us. Rest In Peace Aunty Tisha.

God’s plan for Letitia has always been that “the Lord will be her everlasting light.” May He grant us eyes “to see beyond the clouds of earth into the glory of heaven” knowing that Letitia rests in eternal peace in the arms of our ever living, ever-loving Lord. We extend our deepest sympathy at this time of great loss. May the Lord comfort you at this time of great sorrow.
Our sweet beautiful cousin Letitia,
You were such a beautiful person with such a lovely soul and heaven has gained another angel. We have many fond memories of you and will always remember them. Our sweet cousin you have gone from us but will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace!
To all the family and cousins our deepest sympathy. May God comfort each one you at this very sad time.
Sending lots of love and prayers to all.
Cousins Marilyn, Shirley and all our family.
Tisha, you wove togetherness and love into family gatherings through your genuine desire and determination to connect with each and every one of us. Our loss is heaven’s gain – until we meet again!
Dear Tisha, you left us so suddenly and we miss you so much. I am so glad I got to visit you two days before Christmas and chat with you. I will always remember all the good times we had. Rest In Peace dear sister. Love you always.
Aunty Tisha touched so many people’s lives. Whether it was her incredible artwork or the way she would make us laugh when she won at Tambola every Christmas, she always added such a bright light to all of our lives. She had an amazing memory and would enjoy recalling the whole family’s birthdays and ages. We will miss Aunty Tisha’s stories, her kind smile, and the joy she would bring every time she entered a room. We love you, Aunty Tisha. Rest In Peace.
I am going to cherish all the memories of the times we spent together Tisha.
You will always be in my heart
Rest In Peace Aunty Tisha
Helen, Mathew and family, Ann and family, Susan and family, Mike, Mary and family, John and Dolly, Mark, Jean and family my deepest sympathies to you all. May God give you the courage and strength during this difficult time. Tisha you were a warm hearted person beautiful inside and out. You touched everybody you met. Gone too soon you will never be forgotten. Eternal rest grant unto Tisha O Lord and let perpetual light shine on Tisha. May her soul Rest In Peace. Amen
Aunty Tisha, you are an inspiration on how to live life and love family no matter what is thrown at you.
You always communicated about how proud you were of your family, and how you remember each generation of cousins as babies.
Life is so short, and you lived a happy life until the end. Something I will try to live by.
You will be missed dear, sweet Aunty Tisha.
Hi Aunty.
I remember lots.
I remember you living with us from time-to-time when I was a kid and remember Nowshera, Pindi, Mississauga, Hamilton and all the other places we were together.
I remember you baby sitting us, bathing us and taking care of us.
I remember no matter what mood you were in, you always helped us.
I am saddened at your departure.
Rest in Peace Aunty Tisha.
My dear Letitia,
You were a gentle soul that God put among us. You lived your life so well.
My most vivid memory of you goes back many years when I was about 12 years old and you were 15. WhenI close my eyes I can see you going all over the place, swiftly, on those stilts!! You were an expert on them.
I regret that our friendship did not continue due to the distance between us and I only saw you a few times but you always remembered how my husband had died and expressed your sorrow.
Well, now that your time down here has come to a close I guess you must be enjoying yourself, talking a mile a minute, with your Mum, Dad and Granny.
May you Rest In Peace dear friend.
Love …Cynthia❤️🤗
Letitia enjoy life in Heaven.
R.I.P

You were loved by all and will be missed by all. Rest in peace now xx
