Tjae was a hardworking and independent woman who was fiercely protective of family and generous of spirit. She was ever the optimist and grateful for the many blessings bestowed upon her by God.

The hearts of those who loved Tjae ache with her passing, but their lives are forever enriched by her grace, strength, comfort, and laughter.
