Paul & Sally,
I just heard the devastating news a week ago. My heart feels shattered in a million pieces for you! I have spend the last week remembering so many fun times with Tania & Brent as we raced back & forth between our houses on Oakburn. She always had a huge smile and a big laugh. Fun times….
She will be greatly missed. And I count myself blessed to have had her in my life…
Love Sue (Petersson), Rob, Madde & Gigi Bieman

John J. Johnson
Uncle Paul, Aunt Sally, Dennis, Brent and Chad,
My heart felt sympathy and prayers goes out to you all, during this difficult time.
I remember meeting Tania in the summer of 1984, when we spend the day in Grand Bend – My sister and I had come out early for Granddad & Grandmother’s 60th Anniversary. She was so excited to meet us and was filled with such enthusiasm. She helped to make us feel right at home.
Over two decades later at the Family Reunion that spirit had tranformed into a caring & nuturing daughter, mother and wife.
It seems like yesterday – when we were all sitting around late afternoon, under the canopy of the trees at the farm, trying to escape the heat. Tania asked if we needed anything, then came out with beverages and snacks for all of us, at the same time was watching her sons to make sure they didn’t jump in the”pond”
Always thinking about others and her family.
That type of caring and spirit is never extinguished, it reside within all of us – through our memories
In her honor:
She will be blessed
through all of our prayers.
She will be loved
because all of us cared.
She will always be remembered
for we will also share
In her memory
Shelli Finch
My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. Tania always had a smile and was such a kind soul.
Alex and Dolly Cowie
We only met Tania on a few occasions; however she left a wonderful impression. Alex is a retired Int. Rep. of the Sheet Metal Workers Int. Assoc. and spoke of her fondly. Prayers are sent to her husband Dennis and to Brent and Chad.

To Tania’s family, both immediate and extended:
I am genuinely and sincerely sorry for your tremendous and tragic loss. Tania was a childhood school friend from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I have very, very fond memories of birthday parties and sleepovers, to name but a few experiences we shared. Although we hadn’t been in touch for many years, I have thought of her often reminiscing about our younger years. I will remember her as a lovely, decent, and good human being with a zest for living life. Although it will always be difficult for you, may you eventually take comfort in remembering her wonderful qualities as well. Please know you are in my thoughts.

Penny Venton
Dear Brent & Chad: I want you boys to know that your mom was one of the most loved women in our town. By now you have read many of the special messages that have been sent your way. I thought that you would like to hear about my memories of her in particular because whenever I was with her she spoke so lovingly of both of you. She was proud of all of your accomplishments and always worried about you when things weren’t always going so well for you. I don’t think that I ever knew anybody else in my whole life who was quite as wonderful as your mom. I know that God will be taking good care of her because so many of our prayers have gone up to heaven for her. God bless you and your Dad.
Love,
Penny Venton
Jack and Margaret (Butler) Kraft

My dear friend Sally
I don’t know what to say. My heart is in pieces for you and Paul. How unkind fate can be. Sherri helped me to believe that maybe Brent’s work high on up is so fruitful and magnificent that he needed his beloved sister to help him. I’m trying hard to believe there is a reason.
It leaves a terrible void for us here. I am without words. Love is all I have to offer. I hope you will find peace in the knowledge that she touched so many lives with joy.
All our love

Becky Brown
Our deepest sympathies to all of Tania’s family. Reflecting the last few days it seems to me that this tragic loss is not just the loss of a friend but but of a family member to us Browns. Tania has been present at many important milestones with us all. The trip that stands out most in my mind is our States trip to buy Clares grad dress and a fun weekend for the girls. Tania shopped almost till she dropped and shamed all of us with the amazing deals she got. She had a true zest for life and everything it had to offer. She will never be forgotten for the extra joy she brought to our family. We were lucky to have her,
Dwayne Butler
Dear Dennis,
My sincere condolences for the loss of a wonderful woman. My memories are from 20 plus years ago and when the news hit me it was a sudden flash back of pleasant memories of laughter and fun!
I wish for you and your family to have the same and from looking at the photos you will.
Tania’s smile touched a lot of people and will not be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Dwayne Butler

Jon O'Connor
Paul, Sally and Dennis,
I was overcome with sadness when I heard of Tania’s passing. Even though I have lived outside of Canada for many years, Tania and I kept in touch via emails. As you know, Tania and I grew up together. First day of Kindergarten together, first communion together, finished Mount Carmel together, same high school, same circle of friends, we argued, we shared a lot of laughs and most importantly we remained friends. Tania was such a positive and engaging person. In our last email exchange in Feb12, she told me how happy she was and that she was a proud hockey mom. This is how I will chose to remember her.
I am so sorry for your loss, and like everyone who knew her, I will miss her greatly.

My sincere condolences are sent to each of you, Brent, Chad and Dennis, on the sudden and sorrowful loss of your Mom and wife, Tania. Her love and pride for you boys, Brent and Chad, was so very evident when she would drop you off and pick you up from school during your kindergarten years, where I first met your Mom. Anyone fortunate enough to have known your Mom would quickly realize what a really nice person she was. She will be missed.
Karen Dickins
Dennis and Boys, my heartfelt sympathy to you and your families. Tanya was such a wonderful person, always smiling, always saying HI. Cherish your memories and take comfort in knowing that others are feeling your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Nancy Gall
My sincere condolences to the Crawford/Johnson families for the untimely loss of Tanya . I did not know Tanya well, but the few encounters I had with her left a lasting impression of what a warm loving person she was. Any time Ray or I had need to be in touch with the Canadian office was always a very pleasant and encouraging experience, and this was because of the very capable and friendly person that Tanya was. She will be missed by everyone that had the good fortune to be in contact with her, whether in person or just by telephone.
My heart goes out to all of you for your tragic loss.
Vera Jane Armstrong
Dennis, Phyllis and family; Thinking of you at this time of loss, may
all the special memories bring comfort during this very difficult time

I didn’t have the privilege of meeting Tania in person but really felt I knew her through our many email/telephone conversations over the years. She was funny, helpful, had great listening skills and a willingness to learn. I am not alone in the shock and sadness I feel at her passing. My thoughts and prayers are extended to her family and friends as they try and cope with the loss of this wonderful lady.

We out here on the west coast of Canada in Local 280 were deeply saddened to hear of Tania’s tragic untimely passing. Words at times like this are difficult, they do not come very easy, but memories are very sweet and last forever.
Tania was always a pleasure to deal with, helpful over the phone in so many ways and when we got together from time to time her smile would brighten up the day. She kept Bob going in the right direction.
For myself and all the staff of Local Union No 280 who had the pleasure of working with Tania over the years, our prayers are for her and with her family.
God Bless

I sit here deep in thought as to the wonderings of this universe. I am deeply saddened by Tania’s passing. I recall her beautiful smile in Church everytime she walked back from communion. I knew there was a true angel resting in her soul because it called out to me each and every time I ran into her. I wish that I could take some of your pain away and endure it myself so your heart could not feel so burdened. I am soooo sorry for your loss of such a beautiful daughter. My soul cries for your lose but it also rejoices in the knowing that Tania is now with our precious Lord forever watching over you and her children. May God Bless all of you from now until the time you meet once again. I send my love to all your family and to Dennis and his families.

Michelle and Perry Sereda, Zac and Alexa
I was not able to come to know Tania as well as I would’ve liked. What I did know was that she was a beautiful person, in spirit and in person. She was kind-hearted and devoted to her family and community as evidenced by the time she devoted to our grade school Precious Blood and how she raised her two wonderful sons as well as demonstrating the closeness with her husband. We worked on a committee or two, in the school and I found her such a joy to be around. She was a part of our Church Community and my eyes will stray to her spot for a long time to come. My heart is broke for her parents losing two children, and even more for her own two boys and husband left at home. God rest you Tania, you will remain in a lot of people’s thoughts and prayers for a long while.
