Tiffany Frederick was born tiny, timid and feisty in Rock Springs, Wyoming on May 3, 1983. At 4 lbs, 3 oz., and diagnosed with Turnerβs Syndrome, she at first seemed frail. She immediately ripped off her respirator and put everyoneβs concerns to rest. This child had a mind of her own. She chose not to crawl, but to roll. She decided not to walk until she was 19 months old, and then never stopped moving. As an infant, Tiffany was uncomfortable with anyone other than her mother, father and big brother, Steve, who was three years older. She was not shy for long. After being shuttled to countless ball games and living within the extended family community of Table Rock, Wyoming, she soon began to blossom. The good life was where the people were! Her favorite place to be was tagging after Steve and his friends, a hobby she never really grew out of.
When Tiffany was three, her sister Kayla was born. Tif took her big sister responsibilities seriously. She watched Kayla, played with her, and powdered her with Comet (once) when she thought it was necessary. Never mind that Tiffany would always be much smaller than Kayla, she still knew how to take control.
The Frederick family moved to Eads in 1990. Although it was an adjustment, Tif was happy to be close to her two grandmas and grandpa and many other family members.
After starting school, Tiffany soon learned that schoolwork could be difficult. She chose, on her own, to master the situation. Each day after school, she came straight home and concentrated on homework until it was completed; no outside distractions until she felt the job was done. This was a practice she continued.
As tiny as Tif was, she wanted to be involved and participate. She played softball for a while, learning to crouch when she batted to leave a very small zone for pitching. During Jr. High and High School, she discovered cheerleading. She loved her time as a cheerleader, and kept many reminders of those days.
When Tiffany was fifteen, she was given a choice. Stay much shorter than average, or enter a regimen of daily shots and examinations to add a few more inches. With no hesitation, she took the challenge. For four years, with no reminders or assistance, she gave herself daily injections. She felt it was a success when she reached her goal of 5 feet Β½ inch.
Tiffany was strong-willed, but good natured. Over the years, she was bombarded by names like Shorty and Munchkin, but accepted them as terms of endearment. When given a task, she put her whole heart and soul into it.
After Tif graduated from Eads High School in 2002, she was sad to leave the many friends she had grown up with, but excited to try college. Oklahoma Panhandle State University was where she found a second home. She loved OPSU and immediately set about meeting as many people as possible. She chose to major in psychology and began to consider a minor in mass communications.
Tiffany left us unexpectedly on September 28, 2004. Although she was just 21 years old, she packed a full life into those short years. Those who truly knew her understood that they had met a very special human being. Tif lived up to the phrase that she liked from her first Turnerβs readings: βDynamite Comes in Small Packagesβ.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow
Hold tight to memories for comfort,
lean on your friends for strength,
and always remember how much you are cared about.
Your life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of our special needs,
Today and tomorrow, my whole life through, I will always love and cherish you
You left us so suddenly, your thoughts unknown,
You left us memories, we are proud to own
LOVE ALWAYS HALINA XXXX

Our angels send us kisses from heaven above
They float down to earth with lots of love
The kisses they send us are filled with love
Especially from our angels above
So if you receive a kiss on your face
It's from your angel
That no one could replace
Just look up to the sky
And blow a kiss back
For your love for your angel
Shall never lack
My daughter also suffers from Turners syndrome and has also gone down the route of daily injections. She is now a healthy 5ft 3" despite a very late diagnosis. My heart goes out to you as I could not think of life without Carey. My thoughts are with you. Sending love to you. xx

Dynamite comes in small packages—even on Christmas.
We've shared our hearts, full of Holiday Cheer
and shopped for presents for loved ones this year
the house is dressed up with garland and lights
that sparkle and shine through the Holiday nights
But even with all of this Holiday bliss
there’s someone we lost that we terribly miss
and as this Christmas Day draws near
we wish with all of our hearts she was here.
She's living her life way up past the stars
Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
She's spending her Christmas in Heaven, you see
And last night as I slept, a dream came to me
She was standing before me, happy and well
she said to me "I have something to tell…
Heaven's more wondrous than you would believe
it’s the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.
Daddy, I may not be with you there today…
But know that I’m with you in every other way.
Please hold dearest the happy memories you treasure.
As small as I was, my heart could never measure.
My heart and soul was made like dynamite…
ticking away, until it was time to take flight.
Dynamite comes in a small package…
and I couldn’t bear to carry all this baggage.
I'd like for you all to remember the good…
You know that I'd be there if only I could.
So don't feel so bad that I'm not there…
There are so many memories you can share.
As you gather together, I'm sure you'll find
the gifts deep within you that I left behind.
Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love
they shine from your hearts as I shine from above."
Don't Judge Me - by Unknown Author
Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave,
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made.
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad,
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad.
But in time the memories
will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all
With an inner peace.
Remember me when the sun is bright
And laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there.
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain.
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me, please do not cry.
