I met T through a bunch of mutual friends in 9th grade. For the longest we were glued to each other hips, where ever she went i went. It didn’t take long for her to become one of my best friends. She had a heart of gold no matter what she was put through. She always stayed true to her friends. Even after little arguments she never had a bad thing to say. She truly did light up a room, her smile, her eyes, everything about her was welcoming. She had the biggest positive attitude in such a little body. I remember I got into a fight one day, she took my phone and recorded it for me, then hid my phone so teachers couldn’t take it. She always had my back. To me, she still does… I got in touch with a Medium, first thing that T told her was “I’m okay now” then shortly after it was followed with “stop crying you little baby” she told me that she’s always with us even though we can’t see her. And i believe that to be true, I feel her with me in my car sometimes, and I always take the long way home when I do. We all miss you honey.

My baby girl...I miss you so much! You loved helping not just me but everyone you met! I miss you're smile, your humor, trying new recipes with me...I just miss you! Every day I have to make myself keep going, but I just want to lay down with you, watch a girlie movie, pause it a million times to talk...there is just so much. I remember the day you were born, your first day of school, your good and bad days. You wanted to be a teacher even though I told you it was a horrible idea. You said you wanted to get married and have babies. I wish you had the chance to do all you dreamed of...mommy loves you more! Always!!!

Torrance always had my back. No matter the situation, small or big she always had a way of cheering me up. I enjoyed every moment with her, and for a long while she was the only person that I knew truly cared. She cared about every living thing (and non living thing she loved stuffies lol), her and I always cried over things that many could consider silly. She brought me around her family and being there just showed me how she became so bubbly, witty, and strong. The whole family is truly a blessing. I thank God every day for letting me and T cross paths. I miss her laugh, her country girl music, her stubbornness, and strong willed self. Her neverending love for her friends/family, and just her overall.. I pray everyday for anyone who knew T. Because T was a blessing like no other, and I know anyone who knew her knows that in their own ways ❤️

Torrance was the first friend I made at school when I first moved here. When she asked to be my friend, she gave me a KitKat because she didn’t know how to approach me. She was always so sweet to everyone she met. She had such an amazing soul and knew how to hold a conversation.
