    Michelle, Wes, Tonya, Tyler, Judy and Dan: Words cannot express my sympathies at the loss of Tiffany. She was such a trooper for 20 years and lived a valiant life. She had that precious smile I will never forget. I pray you find peace in knowing she is now walking and running and praising Jesus. She will be missed by all that loved her. I will remember the Uno games and how she always won. ( I wonder why?) I pray god's grace and your faith will bring you through these difficult times. You have so many friends and family here for you when you need them so don't hesitate to ask. We all love you. God bless!

  7. Rachelle Buckingham and family
    I was very fortunate to get to know Tiffany while taking care of her in her home as her home health care nurse several years ago. Even though I stopped taking care of her I attended the same church that she attended and still was able to keep in touch with her and see her grow into a lovely young woman. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and will be missed by so many. My prayers are with the family.
  8. Kriss Legband Davis
    I was shocked and saddened when I heard of Tiffany's death! So were my kids, especially Brian. Taking care of Tiffany was a big part of my life. She had such a happy glow about her. She never let anything get in her way or hold her back. She was gonna live life to the fullest no matter what, and she did just that! We should all take a lesson from this precious girl that God now has in his hands. I loved her and I love all of you. I am praying for you all at this difficult, trying time in your life. And you know Tiffany is now at peace and dancing with her Maker.
  9. Pat Bechdolt, R.R.T.
    Dear Push Family: I cannot imagine the depth of your grief. I pray that as you celebrate Tiffany's life with all of your special memories of her that the veil of sorrow will slowly fall away. Thank you for entrusting Tiff's care to us and allowing us to share in her precious life. I hope that we touched her heart as much as she touched ours. I will miss her whispered confidences about her latest crush but mostly I will miss her famous Tiffany smile she would flash when I would do or say something "crazy". Miley Cyrus' songs and "plaid pants" will never be the same to me. :-) May God's angels surround you and comfort you through this difficult time and may the love of friends and family ease the heart ache you feel today. Rev. 21:4 "[God} will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Yours in the risen Lord, Pat. Ambassador Care-Omaha.

    We are so sorry for your loss and you are all in our prayers. It was a privilege to have known Tiffany and the world is a better place for the joy she brought.
  13. Rob, Jamie, & Mariah Byrd
    Michele, Tonya, & family, It always seems so unfair to lose a loved one at a young age, because no matter what the situation, it seems virtually impossible to prepare ourselves to let go of someone that is just starting to live. But I remember the first time I met Tiffany, it was the first year that I coached the girls 12 & under softball team with Tonya and Mariah on the team. Mariah had just finished with her chemotherapy and had gotten out of Childrens Hospital in Omaha, and Tiffany introduced herself to me and told me not to worry about Mariah, that she was going to be fine, because she "just knew about these things", and also "not to take it easy on Tonya, because she could be lazy if you let her"!! :-) One thing I learned about Tiffany over the next couple of years, was that she LIVED her life, and was determined to do it her way. May the Lord flood your minds and hearts with the joyful memories that she left each of you. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Rob
  14. Bob & Kellie Blocklinger
    Dan and Family, We are so very sorry for you loss. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Please take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. If there is anything that we can do please don't hesitate to let us know.
  15. Gary and Sara Cordes
    Wes and Michelle, You have our sympathy in your loss.
  16. LeeAnn Kingry
    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Push family. Tiffany was one of those people that really touched my heart. She was one that was actually unhappy when I had to send her home sick from school! She was a very special young lady that we will all miss. Find joy in knowing she is now out of pain and dancing in heaven and probably eating all the pizza and chocolate bars she wants!
  17. Douglas Push
    Dan & Michelle, I know this not a easy time for you. My prays go out to you and the kids. Tiffany will be missed so much. Love you all. God Bless!
  18. Tony and Karen Wuestewald
    We are so sorry for your loss. Tiff was such a special friend to all of us. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
  19. Rev. Michael Meyer and family
    Without a doubt, I'm convinced that Tiffany knew that her Redeemer Jesus lives...for her...for you...and she lives with Him right now! God worked in and through her to teach me so many things in my spiritual journey with Him, even while He was working through me to teach her. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose"--Romans 8:28 Forever family in Christ, The Meyers'

  24. Chrissy Blahak
    All of my thought and prayers go out to the Push family. I will miss Tiffany so much. I was a really good friend of Tiffany's and she is a very sweet girl and I know she always made me laugh. I just wish she could have been here with us just a little longer. I am sure God is taking good care of her in heaven. She will be truly missed by all of her dear friends and family. She has always been a very good friend to me and I really like her for that. So I would just like to say sorry to the Push family for the loss of their loved one. I know there is angels looking after her and she will be in your hearts forever.

  36. Mom
    Thank you to all of you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I miss her SO much already - I just don't know how people are supposed to go on when there is so much pain and hurt inside. It's just so nice to see that she touched so many lives and that everyone got to know and love our precious Tiffany. The next days, weeks, months, and years will be full of memories (and I'm sure lots of tears), but thank you everyone for your concern and thank you especially for getting to know my little angel and for being somehow a part of her life. She will be missed by everyone. God just give me the strength to be strong. Love you all!!

    Michelle and family, A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world But then it flies again And though we wish it could have stayed... We feel lucky to have seen it. Thoughts of Tiffany crossed our minds after reading this quote.

  47. Amber Gralheer
    Michelle and Family- Tiff is already dearly missed, I already miss my phone buzzing at me at midnight for her just wanting to talk, or come up to Ambassador. We have shared many memories growing up, pushing her around the bases at softball games, texting, facebooking, pushing her to touch n go to get our candy and many more! We also had many chats when she was at Childrens Hospital and she knew I was working, and would call my work phone to tell me I need to get upstairs and hang out. As we all have many memories, and struggle through a loss of such a young joyus girl, she is painfree, running around running the show in heaven and as we all know with that cell phone in her hand! :) LOVE YOU ALL!! You all are in my thoughts and prayers!!
  48. Allison and Bob Fachman and Toni
    Tiffany was a super sweet girl and Toni's first friend who shared some of the same challenges. What a sadness we bear at losing her in this world, but what a joy we have to know that she is dancing in heaven with our Lord. Our thoughts and prayers to all of you in your time of sorrow.
  49. PAM VOSS
    Michelle, and family, I am so sorry to hear about Tiffany- I know this is a very difficult time for all of you- I do know as well as you that she was very special to all of us- also Dennis really had a special place in his heart for Tiffany and I have to believe that she is now an Angel in heaven and is walking with everyone up there including Dennis- I remember singing the song to her "You''ll never walk alone" and now she has many loved ones walking with her! Love, Pam Voss

  58. Joan Anderson
    Just want to complement you on the beautiful service you planned for Tiffany! The minister was "right on" with the theme of lavished love. Your family certainly did that. You should have no regrets. Love, Joan
