"Tammy, I love you, cousin. For my own selfish reasons, I wish you were still here so that we could chat and I could see your smile one more time. Now you are with all of our loved ones who have also passed on and that means you're ok. Say hello for all of us that miss them so much, as we will miss you. The world is a little bit darker today because you are not in it, but I find comfort in knowing that you are in heaven. Until we meet again, much love!"
"Iam so sorry for your loss. It has been a long time since I have seen anyone,so I didn't know much about whats been going on . But needless to say we will surely miss her. May God bless all of you and may He give you comfort during this time. Love and Prayers Ruth Meadows and family"
"I first met Tammy when I was 14, (i'm 51 now), and soon felt like one of the sisters. We use to stay up late and have long talks.Everytime I ran into Tammy, she ALWAYS had a smile on her face, and who can forget that laugh. My prayers are with the family, I know how hard it is to loose someone you love so much, these sisters were so very close. Deann and Lori stay strong knowing she is in Heaven with your mom. God Bless- Barb I am so sorry I cannot make the services, know that you are in my thoughts today."
