Then I moved over to the apartment complex on candlelight you was always outside u started coming over to my house we would chill and same thing it became a regular thing for us to do! Just chilling watching stupid tv shows making fun of Jedis crazy doing until I moved from there we stayed in touch here and there and I’m glad you got to spend time us my son my sister

  4. I had the pleasure of meeting the Eudy family 10 years ago when I moved just 4 doors down from them. I had just had my first child, and Allison had just had Talea. We hit it off because our babies were the exact same age.

    I always admired the way Tapanga was with her younger siblings, and even my son. He just lit up every time she picked him up. I hope the picture I’m attaching goes along with this post because this picture is a very well known picture in this house and our family. Tapanga was always such a beautiful girl (and apparantly my son thought so too because 10 years later, this picture is still framed in his bedroom lol)

    We moved away within a year and I don’t believe I’ve seen Tapanga in probably 9 years. I don’t think she was home a couple years ago when we stopped to visit the Eudy’s. It really breaks my heart that this has happened. My heart goes out to the Eudy family. It is very clear that she is going to be very missed!

  5. Tapanga Eudy is my sweet granddaughter. She was a huge part of our family. She gave me two beautiful great grand babies. She loved coming to the fried chicken birthday dinners. Coming in smiling while My great granddaughter pretended that she wasn’t with her then coming up behind me wanting a big hug!

    That is the kind of mom Tapanga was. She tried to teach her kids to be happy go lucky kids. Even if Tapanga was having a bad day or was worried about something she tried to never let Her kids feel sadness.

    I hope your babies will continue to carry out your hopes and dreams for them to be the best they can be. To be happy.

    Tapanga we are sure going to miss you. I promise to take Keilani to Disney just like you and I had planned.

    I love you so much!

    • Judy, I’m Sharon Jessie Vicky Leonard’s sister . I don’t know if you remember me or not. My son went to school with your BEAUTIFUL granddaughter Tapanga. I am so so very sorry for the loss of such an important amazing woman. Words can not express the sadness I have in my heart for her children, her parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones. For one never knows each day when we awake if it will be our last. God must have had an extremely important position in HEAVEN to call Tapanga away from all the love ,beauty of her babies and joy of her family. May it in someway comfort your hearts to know that God would not have called Tapanga away from her Beautiful babies if HE knew HE couldn’t trust their care and loving upbringing with their family. May the hand of GOD be placed upon the entire families hearts 🙏 AMEN

    • Tapanga was such a beautiful soul she wasn’t only family but she was also a friend. Fly High baby girl .

  6. Such a beautiful,loving mother, daughter,sister and to all her family and friends. A life taken to soon. Tapanga will never be forgotten. She left behind the memories she made in her twenty one years. She left her precious children in the trust of her family. To love them as they do her. Tapanga, you were a blessing to all that met you. I never recall seeing your face with out a smile on it. Rest in heaven and may God comfort your family as they filter their way through such a loss. Deeply missed by all!

  7. I can’t believe your gone , you should be here standing with your arm around your family friends! Rest easy tapanga , you will forever be in my heart and you will live on through your children !! Bless there innocent hearts, I struggle myself knowing your gone , I cant imagine what they feel.. Let alone your family friends .. Watch over us ..shine bright above us beautiful angel
