Celebrating the life of
Tyra Cifreo
February 06, 1971 - September 26, 2012
"TY-TY"
6 Feb 71 – 26 Sept 12
Born February 6, 1971 in Hammond, Indiana, Tyra Elaine began her journey. As a child, she shared that journey with her sisters: Myra Jarvis, Michelle Sparks and Civility Bowling. Their separate, but joint journeys brought many a laughter and a tear to their mother: Joyce Harn Schuman. Additional siblings: Courtney Granat, Nicholas Schuman and Lindsay Schuman joined in her journey by way of her true daddy, Gilbert Granat, Jr. and her grafted dad, William Schuman. In the most treasured parts of her journey, Matthew Owens, Gregory Griffin and Dallas Deskins began their journeys, along with hers. Eventually Devin joined the journey, with Aiden Deskins soon to follow. Her journey changed when David Cifreo joined, bringing others into the journey. On the 26th of September 2012, her journey tragically ended in Denham Springs, Louisiana before Aiden's little brother or sister was able to join the journey. The broken pieces of the hearts of her family, her nieces and nephews, her many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends are left to continue the journey with one less piece. She now journeys with loved ones before.

To Family, Friends and All those fortunate enough to have known Her, please accept my sincere condolences. I knew Tyra briefly, only a few short years...during this limited amount of time however; Tyra managed to leave an immensely positive and indelible impression on my life. I can say with absolute confidence and an aching heart that She was my friend and i will miss Her terribly.

To all the family and friends of Tyra. my deepest sorrow. My niece who has left so many loved ones behind will be for ever remembered as a fighter and survior. Dallas,Gregory, and Matthew hold on to all those loving beautiful memories. Trust me some times in those low moments they will be very comforting.To her sisters hold dear to you the laughter she shared with in all those unusual times that only she could make funny. We will cry and mourn for you as we need to fill our loss. Our gain is to say we knew and experienced your presence in our lives. Thank you Lord for the peace we will receive in our days ahead to deal with our grief. May Tyra's death draw people near to You Father. Touch this family O Lord with love and grace and mercy as only you can. Bless Joyce and all her children with strength and surround them with your people. Thank you Lord for Tyra and all the good she left behind. May God be Glorified. Uncle Gerald and Aunt Debbie

The boys will miss their Aunt TyTy and I will miss my big sister. I told Brandi today I wondered if Nana thumped you in the head for old time sake..lol... I love you!
