“A few years ago, I sat with you as you received a chemo,” added Kimberly on Saturday. “He was quiet with a few other patients having a chemo. I asked you, ‘Are you angry or frustrated because I?’ He looked surprised and told me, ‘Because of cancer, I’ve been so wonderful.
According to Tanner, he also credited his final cancer for his introduction to “the nurses and other doctors and patients (who are) so incredible.”
“I really feel wonderful, ‘” Kimberly remembered, before addressing her late son directly. “You chose to be happy and grateful even when you were not feeling well, (or even) when you were in the face of adversity. You were ready to share a smile, always ready to raise others.”

Tanner’s father also offered praise on Saturday.
“It’s an honor and a pleasure to be his father – and he’s still,” said Thomas tearful. “Shay has just been a wonderful companion. They had two years before he was diagnosed, and then they had five years with doctors’ visits to the battle and the fighting. There were still many good times in those five years, but there were still many other works too. Sometimes it doesn’t seem fair that I had 30 father days, and Tanner had one.”
