Refined, Transformed and Blossomed


Tiffany Ann Laird Mathews...

"Bloomed where she was planted
and transplanted and transplanted"

I just returned from a celebration of Tiffany's life.
I have regrets that I didn't take notice sooner.
Time and distance are a poor excuse, but FB
did reconnect us, and I saw Tiffany as a sweet
Mom & Wife, working endlessly for others.
She had just rested up from the community
teen dance, that she help organize.
She had just worked the last day of her 2nd job
Her last post on FB was "Goodnight to all"
She greeted her customers, with a smile, even talking
that morning,to the young lady that was also killed
in the head-on collision.


Testimony of others confirmed that Tiffany had been
refined by the fire of past choices and transformed
to give hope to others that faced the same struggles.
She had the perfect shoulder to cry on, strenghten by her
faith & redemption of her Father in Heaven.

She rebuilt her life, not only for herself, but for Billy
and Brittni. My heart aches for them, and my prayer
is that they live to honor all that she wanted them to be.

Sweet Tiffany, like Adam, taken as they are busy serving
others. Just doesn't make sense! But they both bloomed
where they were planted and transplanted and transplanted.
And we are left holding the sweet bouquet .
