Click here to learn about "Tiffany's Dream", a program established by Tiffany's dad, aunts, and cousins to honor and remember Tiffany in a way she would have have chosen: helping other children who are experiencing the same struggles she did.
We (Tiffany's cousins) set up this website to help keep friends and family up to date with Tiffany's progress.
We found out something was wrong with Tiffany on June 14th, 2006 - two days before her summer break (after 6th grade) was due to start. She had been feeling pressure/ pain from breathing. Doctors saw a tumor in her chest cavity and she had surgery to remove this mass on June 20th.
Further tests revealed that she had a very rare type of cancer: Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor.
We kept this website up to date to let those who care about her share in how she was doing. Those who know her won't be surprised to know that she held up remarkably well, smiling and playing as much as possible throughout her treatment.
Tiffany peacefully passed away on December 5, 2008.
