I remember the day I received the e-mail from Tani's father informing me of her death. Tonight I was laying in bed watching the last movie I remember going to the movies with Tani to see and remembered her. I wish I could have done something sooner and I wish I never lost contact with her. She was one of my best friends before I moved away. May God watch over her and your family. I will forever keep you all in my prayers.

I have too many memories with Tani to list. Ive know her since kindergarden and grew up in her house, and she grew up in mine. Most of my childhood photos have her in them, as well as many many home movies. She was a big part of my life and I will miss her more than words can express. It still hasnt hit me that shes gone, and i dont think it ever will. The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing shes in a better place with her sister. I miss you and love you girl. Take care of my angel.. xox

I just want the entire Koppelman family to know that I am extremely sorry for the loss of Tani. She was one of my best friends and I loved her very much. She was the strongest person I knew, fighting her disease with a smile on her face took real courage, courage I could never have had in her situation. I will miss her more than words could ever say, she will be in my heart forever. One day I will see her again and our fun times and memories will continue as if they never stopped. Thank you for making me feel like part of your family. Love to all of you.

Ryan and I remember Tani's great laugh and wonderful personality. She was an individual who meant so much to both of us. We were so proud to have known Tani as well as care for her. It will be hard to not be physically in connection with her, but we will stay connected spiritually. Mr. and Mrs. Koppelman, thank you for bringing such a wonderful person into this world who had such an impact on our lives.
God bless,
Kim and Ryan Shapiro

We were shocked and devastated to hear the news of Tani's passing. She has taken such good care of both of our girls since they started at the Goddard school as small infants and we always felt comfortable dropping them off because she was there to greet them with the warmest of smiles. We always chuckle when we ask our oldest daughter what Miss Tani calls her and she answers "Sugar Sugar". She will be greatly missed.

Alex (18 months) loved Ms.Tani he followed her all over the room while in his class. She was always in good mood and playing with the little ones, I could not imagine that she was going through so terrible illness. We are deeply sorry for her loss.
The Koppelman family should be very proud of her. She was an excellent person and taught us that we should enjoy our lives and try to live our dreams.
With warm regards,
The Guerrero Family

Mr. and Mrs. Koppelman,
First, I would like to express my condolences for the loss of your beautiful Tani. She was truly an angel on earth. The wings that were on her back all along are now out stretched and used in heaven. I was SO saddened to hear of her death. She had such a beautiful soul and such a warm heart. She was one of the first people I talked to when I first attended NPHS and she made me feel SO welcomed. I will ALWAYS be grateful for our beautiful Tani.
Sending My Love and Prayers,
Laura Cooper and family

We are heart-broken to hear this sad news. Miss Tani has loved our Jacob ever since he started at Goddard 5 years ago. When Jacob was only 1 1/2, she taught him to say "Tani" when asked who his girlfriend was. Now we have a little girl and everytime we dropped her off with her crazy curls, Sofia always came home with her hair all done and pretty and we knew Miss Tani fixed it. Sofia would sit quietly on her lap while us parents have to chase her around with a brush. Miss Tani always had a magic touch with kids. We will forever miss her. Our prayers are with her family and loved ones. Love, Lenny and Lynnor Ortiz, Jacob(5), Sofia(2).

Debbie, I haven't been able to get you and Mitch out of my mind. I wish there were words I could say to help you with your pain. I only sat with Tani those few times but looking at her info on facebook, Tani's comments were always so positive, she knew what she was up against and never did she show her fear. I know how proud of her you both were and I hope you keep her memory alive and continue to do the things you did for her. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you and the rest of the family, please know that she's already in a safe place with someone special and I hope you can find peace in that. Anything I could ever do for you, please don't hesitate to call.

We are so deeply saddened to hear of Tani's passing. All three of our children adore "Miss Tani" who has been a constant presence in their lives nearly from their birth. Countless times Tani saved the day by being willing to babysit on short notice. I always knew I could leave the kids in her loving hands. She will be very missed and in our prayers.
