Tamiya was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, restrictive cardiomyopathy in November 2009. She was given an emergency pacemaker when she went into cardiac arrest during an operation. It was a dual chamber pacemaker and she completely relied on that to be here. Tamiya was so strong and brave. She had a very special way about her that connected with people who didn't even really know her. She was a happy little girl and knew her mind. She was strong willed and couldn't be swayed by people shed make up her mind and that was it. I'm so proud that for such a young girl, she had so much confidence it overflowed, she was secure with herself and her choices. She knew what was happening and dealt with it the way that suited her and I worked with her. I wanted to make sure that if my baby girl had to be taken from me I had to make it as perfect as possible for her. We had some very special music playing, I'd spent hours massaging her and talking to her about how much I love her and forever will. She passed in my arms,il never forget that moment and will miss her forever.
