Leave a tribute for Tiffany Benfield.
Tiffany was beautiful inside & out, smart, creative, funny , kind , just all around a down to earth person. The absolute best mother. I will cherish the memories we have together, along with her cousin, my bestfriend Kayla. We had known each other as long as I can remember back. Playing dress up, playing in the pool during summers, falling in love with boy bands , watching movies eating pickles. Just doing girl things. I’m beyond blessed to have been able to tell her that I loved her one last time. Blessed to of had a friend like her. She will be missed beyond measures & my heart goes out to her children & her family. Rest easy beautiful ❤️
