BONUS: In Memory of Tanya Dodd-Hise - Happy 50th Birthday

Today, August 6, 2020, Tanya Dodd-Hise would have been 50 years old. As a friend, sometimes we are called to do the hard things and for Hellcat, that was delivering the Eulogy at her dear friend's memorial service. Tanya fought like hell for years in her battle against breast cancer, with many wins and many disappointments, when eventually it just spread too far.

Tanya died November 10, 2017.

Hellcat wants to remind everyone who knew Tanya, and even those of you who didn't, of the lessons Tanya brought to our lives and how we can keep her spirit alive through our loving acts for others.

Use your voice to stand up for what's right.

Don't be afraid to voice your raw unapologetic truth.

Do for others even when you think you don't have time.

Make that sacrifice because you never know whose life you are enriching.

Even invite a complete stranger to your house for the weekend... it should be fine, right??

Love those around you like Tanya loved - with open acceptance and fierce loyalty.

Finally, take the damn picture... No one has ever said, "I wish I wouldn't have taken so many pictures."
