Tiffany adored her daughters, who were the light of her life. She loved spending time outdoors whenever she could and enjoyed golfing, canoeing and camping.

My heart broke when I learned of Tiffany’s passing. Sadly, it’s been years since we’ve talked, but the memories of all the fun we had seems like yesterday. She was such a strong leader for us MH Viking gymnasts. Her encouraging words before every meet always left her team feeling motivated to do well. She left such a lasting impression on me and many of her teammates. She will be missed by so many.

I was in shock when I heard the news. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad we got to know her and her mom and dad while watching high school gymnastics. Tiff was such a sweet girl with lots of energy and love to give. Words can not express how sad we are. Unfortunately we are in Florida and will not be able to attend any of her services but know that we we are thinking of and praying for your family and will be there in spirit. You have our deepest sympathy. Terry & Kathy Kurth

Tiffany was. I hate that I’m spending so much time thinking about that word “was.” It’s not fair. I have sat here on and off for a few days thinking about you. I think it has been 20 years since I last saw you, lady. It’s hard to wrap my mind around this all. I’m most sad for your girls and your family. I cannot imagine the pain they are feeling right now with your absence. Even over time, I can remember your smile, always there and constant. You were so even and calm even when we found ourselves losing a game and I was melting down. You were kind to everyone and you cared about everyone you spoke to and they could feel that instantly. You were younger than me, but I always, always looked up to you and admired your athletic abilities and the way in which you handled yourself on the softball field, confident, strong, brave. I'd never want to be up to bat with bases loaded and two on--and you didn't mind one bit. You gave us all hope on and off the field with your optimistic look at life.
Even with only our Facebook conversations or watching your girls grow and change through a screen, I still felt connected to you and now I’ve got this shadow on my heart and life seems so much darker. My love and hugs to your girls, Eric, Jill, and niece and nephews, your mom and dad and your entire family and friends. I will head to the bank next week and put some money in their account even though I know they’d much rather have you here and it won't be enough to bring you back. I feel honored to have met you and honored to have gotten the chance to know you and spend time with you on and off the field, and I am so saddened that you are no longer here on Earth. I’ll see you upstairs, though, and I’ll slug your arm and say “too soon, lady, what was the rush?” And whenever I’m at Grundahl, I will smile and think of you and all the good times we had cheering each other on. Thank you for the memories. Behave up there!
