  1. Dear Jarvis/Taylor family, we are all heartbroken to hear of the loss of Tarnz. There are no words that can truly ease this kind of pain and it’s so unfair that you should have to be faced with this. Please know that you are surrounded by love and held in the thoughts. We will all raise a glass in memory of the beautiful Tarnz. Love Mel& Jason, Ruby & Claudia Chambers xxx

  2. Her magnetism drew whomever she met into a place of joy. Knowing Tarns was like knowing an old soul who had perpetually youthful energy. Spending time with her always felt sincere, whether you needed care and comfort, or a friend to share the true meaning of celebration. She was someone who felt her emotions deeply, especially love, and her love for her family was her highest power. I'm so grateful for the joy she brought to my life, and the love she shared with my family. She wanted only the best in life for her cherubs, her sisters, her parents, and her best friends. I hope, when you are ready, you move through this life knowing that to Tarns - a person empowered by a deep sense of happiness - her relationships with you meant the world to her. My deepest and sincerest condolences to everyone she loved and who loved her back. She was a truly wonderful woman.

  3. You will be truly missed. You left this earth far to early. I loved your smile and happy greetings every time I saw you coming and going to the Gym. You put on the best parties ever and created many happy memories that will stay in my heart forever. To your children - I send them my love. - Clair.

  4. My deepest condolences to the whole family. They say only the good die young and after listening to Tania’s beautiful stories this is sadly the case. May you all feel some sort of comfort that your beautiful Tarns has grown her angel wings to forever guide you all as the family manager❤️
