I can’t believe it’s been a year. I’ve been thinking of you this whole time. You have left such a strong impact upon me and I will cherish the memories I’ve had with you forever. You’ve helped me become not only a better service provider, but a better person in general. There are few words to describe the utter disappointment by the services and systems that failed you; yet I continue to be inspired and motivated by thinking of the amazingly fierce advocator you were not only for yourself, but those you cared about too. At times, I think back to the overnight chats outside, a calmer moment during (sometimes hectic) summer nights; I later reflected on our closeness in age, and her wisdom and determination has always inspired me. I also think about simpler things like making bagels with just enough cream cheese, and just so so so many more moments. Tia’s light will always shine bright in my heart. Gone far too soon.

it’s been a year now. i met you at the very beginning of my work as a service provider. our brief time interacting left such a mark on me. your energy struck me as so loving, kind, and fierce. i have so many wishes: i wish that this system didn’t fail you, i wish you were given the kind of love by this world that you gave to it. i wish most of all that i had more time to get to know you. i’m lucky that some amazing people who knew you so well can carry on your memory. today, i’m doing what i know will honour you from what they have so graciously shared from their time with you, Tia. your memory lives on beautifully. ❤️

Happy birthday Miss Tia. Not a day goes by where I’m not thinking about you. You have left a lasting impression on me and I will carry your memories, laugh, and stories close to my heart as I continue to work in the social services field. I know you have so many people who miss you and are thinking about you even more than usual on your special day.

Still thinking about you T. As your birthday comes closer, I find myself struggling. I wish you weren’t failed by the system. I wish the support you needed was accessible. I plan to ensure you will not be forgotten and to celebrate your special day. I know you’d laugh at my anxiety surrounding your birthday and encourage me to party hard❤️

I taught Tia in grade 7 and worked with her during her grade 8 year as well. Even though she wasn't always happy with school, she was smarter than she let on and it was always great when she would sometimes share her smile with us. She was definitely one of my favourite young people I've worked with over the years at Lord Nelson. I did see her a couple of times after she graduated and she would always chat with me and update on how things were going. I really appreciated that. I have had several conversations about her with other teachers who remember her fondly. I'm glad I have her picture up on my wall and I will keep her memory alive here at school and with me.

Tia was a very lovely person. We shared a locker beside eachother in highschool for about 2 years and I always looked forward to seeing her during period breaks.
One memory that I’ll never forget was when Tia did a gift exchange with a mutual friend of ours. The smile on her face and the shining in her eyes when she was handing over her gift is an image that will live in my mind forever.
She was a very caring and loving person, and she loved to give far more than she cared to receive. My prayers tonight are reserved for Tia and I know she’ll have a clear and guided path to walk the clouds. Until the next time Tia.

I worked with Tia and found her to be funny, and resilient and caring. She was smart and good natured. She was a fierce friend and I enjoyed every moment I got to spend with her. Tia, we will remember you. Your memory will live on and I promise to always give that extra time and attention to those who need it in your honour.

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Tia. She is by far, the most resilient person I know who loved with all of her heart. My soul hurts for anyone who had the chance to meet her and I will always hold the memories of her close to my heart.
