If you’re looking for a TikTok account that will make you laugh AND will maybe even bring a tear to your eye, look no further.

Taryn Delanie Smith is the former Miss New York but these days she’s taken on the persona of a receptionist at the gates of Heaven who has the stereotypical New York accent and attitude.

People have gotten a huge kick of out her TikTok videos and one fan asked her to make a different kind of video that was very heartfelt.

A viewer asked her if she would make a video where she greeted her late mother Geraldine as she goes to Heaven. Taryn emailed the woman to get more details about her mom and then posted a very sweet video.
