In Loving Memory of Tiffini Talia Hale

Loved and adored by so many, daughter, sister, friend and gifted performer on Disney Channel's "All New Mickey Mouse Club" as well as Hollywood Records 90's pop group, "The Party", Tiffini Talia Hale, will forever be in our hearts and memories.

On behalf of the family of my dear friend, Tiffini Hale, this Memorial fund was created in hopes that it will help Tiffini’s family with memorial and accrued medical expenses, as well as a portion of the proceeds to be donated to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) in honor of Tiffini.

Below are the very personal and heartfelt words from her mother, Nancy, and brother, Michael:

 

A Mother's Message…

 

Our dearest Tiffini left this world on Christmas Day 2021. She was a beautiful soul who only had kindness and goodness to give to the world with her sparkling personality & positive energy. She seemed to love everyone & found beauty in all things. She appeared to have everything going for her.

 

Unfortunately, in her early twenties, we saw changes in her behaviors that we could not understand. Shortly thereafter, Tiffini was diagnosed with the severe mental health diagnosis of schizophrenia, something no parent wants to hear & certainly nothing her father nor I could ever have anticipated.

 

From that point forward, she struggled with disorganized thoughts, delusional thinking, impaired judgment, & irrational fears. Naturally, she could have no understanding of what had happened to her life. Tiffini always remained sweet & loving & lovable. These brain disorders effect people in many different ways and are nothing to be ashamed of, just like any other biological disorder, and is the fault of no one.

 

If any of you reading this have a loved one that you recognize having any of these signs, I only hope that you will seek professional guidance & treatment without any fear or shame.

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has been a tremendous help for so many families, including ours. They provide support & education to families & friends of their loved ones.  Along with NAMI, I met so many kind people, many who have remained friends to this day.

 

Her sister Tanya & I, as well as our entire family, thank each & everyone of you for your outpouring of prayers, love, & support. I only wish that Tiffini could have shared in all of the beautiful words & pictures that you sent. It would fill her heart with happiness & joy.

We miss her terribly but I will be eternally grateful for having those wonderful years with her in my life.

It does help my heart to know that she is now Resting in Peace.

It must have been about 6:30 on a morning in 1982 when Tiffini ran into my room alerting me to the fact that it was Christmas Day. Time to get up & look at the presents!!! She could barely contain her excitement. Scratch that. She couldn’t contain her excitement at all.

 

That’s how she was. With whatever it was. Going to the beach. To a ballet lesson. To school. She was ebullient in any event, because in any event she was alive to the fact that the world was THE BEST PLACE EVER. Not just her world either. It was all of ours, you know. And wasn’t it marvelous?!

 

It’s probably impossible to find any kind of sense in what came later. (I know I can’t.) But these were shining moments lived & shared by a delightful and beautiful girl, all etched in time and some etched like “music, when soft voices die, vibrating in the memory.” No one who met her will forget the song.

 

 

- Thank you for taking a moment to read. Please know that any contribution as well as much needed prayers are greatly appreciated and welcomed.

With Love, Gratitude and God’s Blessings,

From the family and friends of Tiffini Talia Hale
