There are hardly words to describe Tadum. Here are a few from the people she touched: Center of life wherever she went, amazing friend, her beautiful smile and loud peals of laughter will stay with us forever, precious gentle spirit, real, faith of a child, accepting, a smile that brought many tear-stained faces to light, genuine, connected to kids, searching eyes for the people she loved, special laugh, sick sense of humor, taught us how to laugh, born an angel and will eternally remain an angel, inspiring, she laughed when we cried. We are all gifts from God, but we must realize that we have to give our loved ones back to God as gifts, and that’s the hardest part. God ushered Tadum into heaven reuniting her with her uncle Daniel Kauffman, and grandparents, Francis and Margaret Thole. Memorial contributions may be made to the family.
