you were so sweet and funny, I loved hearing you laugh and giggle as you helped with all the air brushing for SATB. You were the only one that could ever scare me, you did your job well and were so responsible. I wish you were still here, bet you would have had beautiful children and been an amazing aunt. God bless you and RIP Tenille!!

i knew tenille for a while, we used to hang out alot, and i sure do miss her, when i moved to woodland washington lost contact of her and found out she passed, was the hardest thing i could ever hear. couldnt believe it. she was an amazing person with such a good sense of humor. i know god is taking good care of her. we will meet again one day.

She was about 10 years old and her younger sister was 7. We were doing a hill climb in our jeep, them in the back seat and her dad and I in the front. The terrain was VERY steep, and though we knew we would make it with no trouble, Tenille seemed very concerned for our safety. She turned to McKenzie and said "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?" Kenzy said something, I dont recall, and then Tenille said "Repeat after me. " Lord I accept you into my hear, and ask you to be my savior" And McKenzie repeated the words after her. You see I think the love of Tenille for her little sister was proven right there. She didn't ask us to turn around or to stop, she just wanted to make sure that heaven would come to them both. Tenille was a wonderful soft caring person, even as a child. RIP Tenille. I love you.

to you always, sweet angel!

I loved Tenille so much! She didn't even really know me but she would always say hi to me and tell me to have a nice day in the hall ways of high school only because she knew i was her sisters friend. Then i started to get to know her and found that she was the biggest sweetheart ever!! She was an amazing writter friend and person to be around. I guess its true when they say ONLY the GOOD die young because she was WAY too young to leave us! We will all meet her agin one day though, and i look forward to that day!!!

one of the memories i have of tenille is from when we were both much younger due to that being when i saw her mostly. one day the family went on a trip to the zoo together... terenda was old enough to walk but tenille wasnt, she was still veeery young... we visited the petting zoo part of the park and played with the various little animals... eventually i noticed a goat that had been staring down Tenille's stroller. i got a sense that the goat was going to charge at the stroller and just as i was thinking it the goat charged her. i ran in and pushed the stroller out of the way and the goat butted me in the face.. i bled for a little while and was pretty shaken up by the hit, but really my family made me feel like a little hero and gettin a little smooch from my baby cousin was well worth the damage. .... im glad that before she passed i started to talk to her more, i would even say that we became friends in the short amount of time we were talking again. we bonded through art and poetry and i will cherish the times we could chat. i love her and miss her greatly and will keep close to me the memories i still have. -Royce

I remeber the last time I saw Tenille, she was parked by my house because there was no parking at little house, and when she saw me she ran up to me and gave me the tightest hug I have ever had. She was so excited to see me and it made me feel special that I was still apart of her life.

I remember working with Tenille my first or second year (five or six years ago) with Tenille, it was the first time her and I actually started to talk and hang out..... We had so much fun scaring people, talk about misdirection!

I miss our photo shoots, haha you helped me get some of my first pictures for modeling. I just did my first photo shoot for DUB Magazine yesterday!!! Must be you that is my guardian angel leading me to my success. Thanks sweetie. I miss our walks. Walking through downtown Camas taking pictures. Going to the park and swinging on the swings, stopping at Safeway to buy candy. I miss you being the "annoying little sister" never thought I'd miss how you used to bug me and Terinda so much but now I miss you more than ever.

You would sit side by side with your Dad, and if he had to nail until midnight - you were there handing him the nails. When he needed someone to go underneath the deck, you werent afraid of spiders, when Dad wanted just to clean car parts, you arrived with your toothbrush. You were such a pleasant child, and I SO miss that about you! IF you wanted money - you would do the chore and THEN ask what it is worth. God you had such grace.

rest in sweet peace, angel!

rest well princess...

In Loving memory of my baby. I never could have comprehended a loss as great as this.
