Fly high, Tannah Grace, we will miss you…
With heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague, Tannah Graham. Tannah had been fighting a brave battle to overcome a respiratory illness that took her young life. Our immediate thoughts and prayers go out to Tannah’s family, and to all the lives she endeared and touched.
Tannah was a doting mother, rock and matriarch to her family. She had an exuberant, warm and giving nature. One of her most admirable qualities was her kind heart. She often was guilty of bestowing tiny acts of kindness and compassion without hesitation, always humble and unassuming.
As her co-workers, we all feel a deep personal loss. Tannah roamed the halls and classrooms of the District from a young age through adulthood. Many of us watched her grow up within these walls. This was her home. The District and the North Eugene community has lost a remarkable human being.
