Psalms 57:9-11
I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

Dear Tacy,

What a delight and blessing it has been to know you, watch you grow and mature over the years, and get to be a part of your life! Tacy, you were an adorable, spunky, talented girl who we knew we could count on for big solos and lead the charge with enthusiasm and energy!! Not much has changed (in such a good way). You are still adorable, spunky, and talented, but your love for the Lord and commitment to live your life through Him and what He would have for you, colors everything you do. All of your amazing attributes are maturing into such a special and incredible young woman!

Your smile lights up the room and fills it with joy!! As you move into the next chapter of your life, my prayer is that you continue to surrender every plan to the Lord and let Him guide and direct each step. I’m so honored to have been a small part of your life. You will always be in my heart and I’m so thankful to know you Tacy!!
Love and Blessings, Heather Vargas

Tacy, you have grown into such an amazing young woman. I have a pic of us making faces together when you were maybe four that I cherish. I could see even then that you were so very special. Seeing you grow into your relationship with the Lord has been such a blessing. Watching you become a young woman with a great sense of humor was no surprise considering your Dad, but so much fun!. So many great memories. I’m in awe of what God has done! You have so many gifts! Seeing you use them for God’s glory makes me so proud of you. As you walk into this next season of your life I pray that you will grow in surprising ways as God unfolds His unfathomable love for you personally. You are the apple of His eye and His hand is upon you. Our love is fickle and bounces from hot to cold but His love for you is unwavering.
Love, Kit

Dear Tacy,
I remember praying for you before you were born. I remember a little girl with the cutest curls and a spunky attitude. We have spent a lot of years in ministry together. (This thought makes me happy)
We served together in Puppets, in VBS, in Worship…. I absolutely love who the Lord has created you to be. He has gifted you to love, sing, to feel deeply, to laugh loudly.

In remembrance of our VBS years and in a shout out to your future. I give you a line of our current VBS song.
🎶🎵
When you ask He cares, When you seek He’s there,
When you knock, knock,knock, knock,knock, God opens up the door. 🎶

Tacy,I love you, I am excited to see you allow God to do His best through you! I will keep up the prayers.
Much much love,
Rachel

Dear Tacy,
I remember joining with your parents in Praying for you before you were born. You were ❤️ and still are ❤️ so wanted and loved.

It was a joy watching you grow up, seeing the joy you brought to others. One of my favorite memories is you talking to your “Auntie Laurie” on an old cordless telephone Grandma had outside. My guess is you were about 3 years old and you wanted to invite Gaby to say “Hi”. It still makes me laugh typing it out because I can clearly hear your sweet little voice. (So thankful it was captured on video)

I LOVED when you came to Compton to visit us, whether with Grandma or your parents. I remember visiting the Air & Space Museum to see the Space Shuttle, going to Disneyland (one of your FAVORITE places) a few times, but another memory I see clearly in my head is you picking oranges from our big tree to help make OJ.

Now that we’ve moved closer I’ve experienced watching you mature into a young women and having fun along the way. I’ve enjoyed you staying the night often, playing Nertz and sometimes Family Feud with “Steve”. 🤪 It was a privilege attending your City On The Hill Banquet last summer, right before you got COVID. I’ve LOVE watching you perform at CSK and lead people into worship at church. Listening to your passion as you share about things that are important to you is a blessing for me.

God has given you a powerful voice, Tacy MaryFaith. May you continue to use your voice for what’s important in God’s eyes. Whether it’s leading people into worship, sharing the Truth of God’s Word or standing up for others rights, like the unborn child.

I pray you will continue to trust God and grow more into His likeness, as you study His Word and surround yourself with other God-honoring believers.

I LOVE YOU, Tacy MaryFaith Abbey and can’t wait to see what God does In & Through you.

Sincerely,
Auntie Amanda

P.S. I love our talks while you drive me around. 🤪

Tacy,
When people find out I am a vocal coach and I talk about who my students are, you are the first name that comes out of my mouth. Why? Because you’re TACY!
I am beyond proud of the vocalist you have become! You’ve always had an amazing voice, but it just keeps getting better. You are so fearless with your vocal training. You are willing to try anything vocally, and you’ll do it until you accomplish it. Which is so inspiring to me!
You’ve been a great blessing to my life and to my vocal studio. Having a student like you is the reason I keep teaching!
Congratulations on graduation!

It has been such a blessing to watch you grow over the years, Tacy. Your ability as a performer has blossomed before our eyes and it has been a true privilege to be a part of your journey. You have made us laugh with your amazing gift at improv and you’ve brought us to tears with your genuine monologues and heartfelt solos.
It is hard to believe your time with us at CSK is coming to a close, but I will always be grateful that God brought you to us, and that I had the opportunity to see God use you in amazing ways in class and on stage. Best wishes on the next chapter in your journey, Tacy! I can’t wait to hear what the Lord will do with and through you!

Tacy-
I just want to say how very thankful I am to have had the opportunity to be your teacher for the last 4 years… I have watched you grow and change into such a wonderful human being. You are kind, thoughtful, and so witty! I will miss your one-liners and side glances at the silly boys in your class. I will also miss our Disney discussions and hearing about your hopes for your future. Please know that I will be cheering you on from a distance and eagerly watching for life updates through social media 🙂
Thank you for always trying your best in my classes and for always making me feel like a rockstar. You worked so hard to finish your education and while I know college isn’t on your current to-do list, I know you’ll be finding other ways to grow and expand your life knowledge as you pursue your dreams. Good luck, Tacy! I can’t wait to see you succeed in all your dreams!
Love,
Amanda Tavares-Alvernaz

Dear Tacy,
What a blessing and a privilege it has been to watch you grow up into this amazingly beautiful godly woman. Your smile lights up a room, your voice fills the heavens when you sing, and your sweet loving heart is displayed when you write. I cannot wait to see what God will do with all the gifts He has given you. I know He has a beautiful plan for your life, one that is exceedingly abundantly above all that you have dreamed, or your mother has prayed . Keep leaning into the Lord and He will direct your path, bring light and wisdom into every situation you find yourself in. When life gets hard and it will, remember that your God will never leave you nor forsake you. I thank God for allowing me the honor of being a small part of your life.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Proverbs3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Deuteronomy31:8 And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’
With much love and prayers,
Deb

Dear Tacy,
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to watch you grow from a little baby to an amazing young woman! Congratulations on graduating! I knew you could do it. Tell your dad he owes me fifty bucks. I won the bet. 😊 Tacy, your joy and laughter are always a bright spot and every time you laugh at my jokes it encourages me to carry on one more day. 😊 The Lord has gifted you in so many areas that it is hard to sum them up in a single document but here goes nothing: God has gifted you with an amazing gift of song. Your voice has a richness and range that is powerful and stylish. It is always a privilege to hear you lead worship to our Lord. You are an accomplished actress; all your hard work and dedication in drama is paying off and someday when you hit Broadway, I expect to receive front row tickets to your performances. You are kind and that is a commodity that is desperately lacking in todays society. God has blessed you with a heart that brings joy to others. High school is a Twilight Zone for most teenagers. They get lost and wonder in a distant land not knowing who they are or what they stand for sometimes getting lost for decades. I am happy to see that you are the same wonderful person you have always been. You know who you are; you are a beloved child of God. You know Who you have committed your life to; to follow, love, serve, and delight in Jesus all the days of your life. The future is bright and the possibilities are wide open. Keep placing your faith in Jesus and He will direct your heart, your dreams, your path, and your future. Your life will be exciting and their will be plenty of ups and downs but one thing remains; the Joy of the Lord is your strength and surely His goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. I am very proud of the you and I always feel privileged to have witnessed the Lord’s creative giftings develop in your life.
God Bless You Tacy,
Your Friend,
Pastor Mark

Congratulations Tacy on this major accomplishment of graduating from high school! It has been such a cool journey to watch you grow up over the years, from a shy sweet little girl, to a confident, outgoing, and super-fun young lady. God has gifted you in many things and certainly with the ability to act and sing. It’s been fun to attend local productions and church events to see your talent up front. God has given you such talent and we’ve loved seeing you grow in it and use it for Him! Continue on, keep close to Him, and follow His lead in your life—use that talent, courage and confidence to shine for Jesus wherever you go!

Lots of love,
Jeremiah & Geigy

Tacy Mary Faith Abbey! (Keelie made me say that LOL) I am so proud of the young lady you have become! Watching you grow up over the years has been a blessing. I was asked by your amazing mom, to write a little something from me to you, however this is going to be from my whole family because you are so special to all of us.
I thank the Lord that in His sovereignty He brought you and Keelie together as the best of friends and knitted your hearts as sisters in the Lord. Hayley and Maddie also consider you their little sister. You are a part of our family and we all love you so much! You learned early how blessed you are by being an only child at home when you started coming over to our house. LOL It has been comical over the years when you came over to hang out with Keelie then somehow you ended up in Maddies room. Keelie would come tell me, “Mom Maddie is taking my friend!” Soon Keelie realized she was not going to win that battle, she had to share you with our family!
I remember breaking you into all the hugging our family does! Your mom warned me you were not the super huggy type. I would just grab you and hug you anyway, it was my way of showing you how much I love you. I remember the first time you finally came up and hugged me first! That was one of the sweetest moments for me. I felt so special to get a hug from you.
So many memories we have with you. One that we will never forget is when you were over and we were watching a movie about a little boy who was sick you were pacing back and forth and in and out of the living room, you were crying and laughing at the same time! You had us cracking up! You kept saying, “Why are you making me watch this movie??!!” You have such a compassionate tender heart to see someone in pain, you felt it.
Tacy you have been through mountain top moments with our family, with lots of laughter and rejoicing and you have been there for some of our darkest days, you hugged us and cried with us, showed us by your presence how much you care. As you continue to grow up and shine in the plans and purposes the Lord has for your life, I know you will shine the love of Jesus with your tender heart of compassion and faith in our Savior wherever you go.

Always remember you are so loved by the Robison family, we will be here celebrating with you on your mountain top moments and we will be there in the times you need us the most.

Love Always,
Jennifer, Jeremey, Hayley, Brennen, Maddie, Keelie, and Harper

Dearest Tacy,

Tacy,

That you are a one-in-a-million person was clear from the time you started toddling around.  Your charm and wit have always effortlessly won the hearts of those around you.  Your joyful approach to life is inspiring.  You are one of my very favorite people.

 I am so proud of the woman that you are becoming, and I look forward to seeing the Lord bless this next chapter in your life.
