I was fortunate to have Emma as a student at Liberty School. She was always a joy in class and wanted to cure brain cancer. Emma devoted a lot of time during the school year expressing herself and talking about research for a cancer cure. She wanted to make her time with her mother last longer. I would always ask Emma about her mom and she would give me updates with her progress. My sincere condolences to the Provost and Maple families. Your loved one is in God's care. May God continue to bless, keep and provide for you all.

I was fortunate to have met and worked with Tiffany during her last few yrs as a nurse and leader. Her dedication and commitment were exemplary as was her stamina and drive. Tiffany was also very dedicated to her family, her children, both equally her pride and joy. I looked forward to hearing stories about Emma and Justin's athletics, their quick wit and the energy it took to stay a step ahead of them as a mom. While ill herself Tiffany helped me thru the grieving and acceptance of my husbands illness with colon cancer and his eventual death. I looked to her strength for strength. Tough lady, never took no for an answer if she could help it...she fought the fight to the end and earned her rest...Adios Amiga and may we meet again.

Once a little butterfly came down my way,
She was so lovely - I wanted her to stay.
But she was wounded and I began to see,
She needed her Creator more than she needed me.
One moment with this miracle to hold within my hand
I whispered, "I love you" and found the strength to stand.
I raised her up high and pointed her to the sky
And softly I said, "Goodbye"
So fly, little butterfly, fly from me
Fly to the One who has set you free
When He holds you in His arms and you look into His face...
You'll be whole and I'll claim grace, so fly.
Face to face with Christ, your Savior. You're whole again - beautifully restored and I look forward to a sweet reunion with you someday, Tiffany.
Much love to you all you remain behind without this precious butterfly. May you truly experience supernatural comfort and peace. God is so very good even when life is not. Thank you for sharing your beloved with me for a moment in time. God bless. Youre in my prayers.

proud to have had you as one of my best friends In high school. Our memories will last me a lifetime. Although we grew up and lost touch, you always had a special place in my heart. Was so happy to see you and catch up a few years ago...like times never changed. I could see how much your beautiful family meant to you and how proud you were of both Emma and Justin. I wish we could've continued to reconnect but it was not meant to be. Until we meet again rest in peace my sweet Tiff!
