Tiffany Gunaratne

Tiffany Gunaratne of Randall Manor passed away on July 22, 2006.

Cherished daughter of Ajantha and Surangani (Sue). Loving sister of Sandra, Christopher and Alysia.

Tiffany was the third of four children and the center of love, she was always happy never got her
self to bordem, Tiffany liked to occupy herself with her own art projects and playing with her
little sister, her favorites were playing with the babie dolls and playing pet shop or playing
school, she always chose to be the teacher and enjoyed that part and she mentioned to her mom that
oneday she wanted to become a teacher though she was curious to find out what job paid the most.

Tiffany loved helping around the house she enjoyed doing little chores for her mom. Tiffany was a
gentle soul very loving, kind, caring, beautiful, smart, talented, artistic and she also loved
nature and the animals in it.


Tiffany attended reacently closed St.Pauls school of Staten Island New York, she was an outstanding
student with straight A's. Her teacher's loved her, she was not satisfied unless she got
90 or above on her tests.


Tiffany celebrated her b'day on July14th actually she celebrated three days in a row including
going to the beach on the 16th which was one of her wishes......just three days after On that
fateful day of July 17th 2006 she just woke up in the morning and told her father that she was going
to take the little poodle out to the front yard.A stray that was found in front of the house three
months ago. The mom did not have the heart to drop the dog off at a shelter since he was at a very
bad state of health fearing he would be put to sleep. After she brought him back to life she was
looking for a home for the little poodle though Tiffany constantly nagged her mom to keep it. Next
nobody knows what happened ................


Tiffany's intent was to save the poodle that ran to the street, only to get hit herself by the
car while standing on the sidewalk. The lady who drove the car said she never saw Tiffany she only
saw the dog and swerved the car to avoid the dog but did not know she had hit Tiffany. She was
critically injured and kept in a drug induced coma for the next 5 days. The doctors and the staff at
the hospital were trying to tell Tiffany's parents that there is nothing they could do for her,
which is the worst thing that any parent could ever want to hear and they should consider organ
donation. Though they finally agreed to after a long, agonising and painful week, they were
devastated to the fact that they couldn't take their daughter home.


Tiffany was a beautiful child inside and out. As mentioned she loved animals, loved
drawing, and loved life. She celebrated her birthday on July 14th her parents granted all her wishes
and she was very happy.


We miss you so very much Tiffany, fly with the angels little one.
