RIP Coach Butts.
She was taken from us way too soon.
Cancer needs to be eradicated yesterday.

I actually knew Tasha personally. She was very kind and was always smiling when I saw her. I’m very sad to hear this news, but she certainly had a positive impact on people while she was with us.

Same exact experience for me. She had a certain amount of sass about her, but in a good, fun way. Her dream was to be a head coach. Glad she got to live her dream, even if it was just for a few months.

I am so very very sorry to hear of Tasha’s passing. She was a friendly, wonderful person and a dedicated coach. So courageous! Prayers for her and her family and friends.
