I will miss Tauna so much she was always there for me when I needed her. Beach want be the same without you. Love you baby girl 😘❤️  Your Aunt Vickie ! 😔

Your mom showed so much love to me over the years. I truly enjoyed the days all of us spent together. I am grateful for that. She made me feel special; and it will always mean the world to me. I am so thankful she graced my life, and made sure I was doing right. What a wonderful woman. I loved your mama, and certainly will miss her saying “hey fella!” 
I’m always here, and I pray for you. 

With love, Austin Alphin


My heart goes out to Mrs. Tauna’s loved ones. Everybody that knew Mrs. Tauna only has positive thoughts and memories to share. She was undoubtedly an amazing human, daughter, mother, wife, sister, nurse, and so on. Thank you, Mrs. Tauna, for raising my best friend, Lauren, the way that you did. Courtney and her are truly a reflection of you. You will be missed but we are at ease knowing you are not suffering anymore. 

All my love and prayers. 

Tauna and my daughter Traci were best of friends. They shared the same birthday and acted as a bonus mom for their daughters Lauren and Kennedy when needed. I always enjoyed and loved the time we three could share together and it wouldn’t be right coming to Bartlett without a visit to see Gram.  I pray memories will be shared at this time and always to help ease the pain of Tauna’s passing. Love and prayers for this family. Traci’s mom, Rosie Moen

My heart broke when I read Tauna passed.  I will miss your sharp wit and shining smile.  Love Irene Brown 

We are sending prayers and love to Tauna's husband, 2 daughters, granddaughter, mother, brother and sisters.  We loved Tauna and hated to see her go.  We are glad that she will be in no more pain and we'll see her one day in Heaven.  Tauna's memory will be with us for as long as we live.  She has been such a wonderful niece and it would be nothing for her to call and talk to me and then ask for her Uncle Jim.  We love you Tauna.

Dear Family,
Even though I never met Tauna, I've learned to know her love and laughter through Vickie. Keep her close to your heart and remember all the happy moments and special memories throughout her life. May she be shining her glow upon all of you.

Oh my sweet friend. I will miss you and your laugh

My water broke at 30 weeks and at that point I was on bed rest at the hospital until my baby came. Mrs. Tauna was one of my nurses, in fact she was my favorite nurse. I remember it was a Monday and I didn’t feel my baby move much that day. Mrs.Tauna came into my room and I was so upset. She ordered a ultrasound immediately to see what was going on. The next day I had a emergency c-section and my sweet girl was here. I feel like God sent me Mrs.Tauna to help keep my calm in a time that was so scary for me. I am so thankful that I was blessed to have known such a sweet soul. I will make sure that my little girl knows all about the nurse that took care of her mama. Sending big prayers to her family and friends. She will be missed ❤️

My Parking lot friend at Methodist Germantown...my forever Coffee pot lady...loved your calls when you gave me a heads up...when you gave NICU warnings...Forever my friend !

This is my contact photo for Tauna. It has made me laugh numerous times as has Tauna made me laugh so many times. She took excellent care of her patients and they loved her. I know she loved her girls and grandchildren endlessly. Always so helpful and thoughtful. My heart hurts but I am so glad you aren’t suffering anymore. Love you friend 

I will always love and miss you Mrs. Tauna. You were the best softball momma ever. You are the sweetest and one of the most caring women I know and I am so blessed to have known you for the many many years that we did. Rest easy beautiful lady
