Tanya was my next door neighbor growing up in Dubach, Louisiana. It pains my ❤️ heart to see her taken from her earthly family at this time in her life. Grief is a tough subject to put in words when our heart is so heavy but as Christians we can always take comfort in Palms 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd and knowing that Tanya is wrapped lovely in the arms of Jesus. Lord please be with the Carney family in this time of loss.

Praying for all of you. She was quite a gal.
