Hey Mom, it has been 14 years without you, and I think about you every day. I miss you, and I always think about how my life would be different if you were still here. I know that me, my Dad, and my brother are all still hurting without you here on this Earth today. I hope you are doing well in Heaven, frolicking among the angels. I know you are looking down upon me and I hope you are proud of me. I will always miss you.
Love,
Your Son,

I miss you Tami. I'm still hurting to know what everyone still goes through day to day missing you. I know you're in Heaven smiling down. You were the most amazing gorgeous person I had ever met in my life. Since I was little I have admired you. You always had a light around you, and everyone still misses that light. I still pray for our family, I can't believe it'll be a year tomorrow. I remember exactly where I was when it happened, and I remember what it was like when I found out later. I remember that day all too well. Every single time I hear If I had only Known by Reba McEntire, I start crying thinking about you. I miss you being the center of attention in the family. I wish we would have been closer than what we were. But when I was around you, you never excluded me. You included me in. I love looking at all the old pictures, and looking at them, you shine in them. Words cannot truly express how much of a blessing and an angel you were. Forever, you'll live on in our hearts. Although we cannot see you or touch you anymore, you're still here. I love you and miss you.

Brad,
I am so sorry for your loss. Tami was one of the first friends I made in Richmond and your boys were some of my sons' first friends as well. Over the course of one year of preschool, we bonded over our boys and their shenanigans on the playground, and shared some of our hopes and dreams for them as they grew. Her love for and pride in her family was always so clear and strong, and she was so easy to love with her kind heart, great sense of humor and beautiful smile. She will be sorely missed by many. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and we are here for you if you need anything.

Tami was a huge part of my past. I have many, many memories of fun, laughter, tears, heartache and it always came back to laughter. I am heartbroken for you, Brad, and for your boys. She always spoke to me of love for you all. Remember that as you try and get through the days ahead. I loved how you celebrated Tami with all of those pictures at the funeral home, it really showed what an amazingly beautiful person she was.

Tami I know you are watching me so I have a few things I would like to say to you baby girl. I will miss you so much.

I will make sure Brad Bryce and Gavin is taken care of. I will see you one day in heaven with the angles.

Brad
Though many of us on your team did not know Tami personally we still seemed to know her so well through you. I know this is a great loss to you and your boys as well as the rest of the family. Just know that you have a very strong support system and please don't be affraid to use it. GOD will not only be looking over her in his home but he will be of great assistance to you in leading you in the right direction on where to go from here. I know you have a lot of weight on your shoulders and no matter what kind words of sympathy you may hear there are not many of us who can say we truely understand, but do know we care and will do anything to be of assistance.

May peace find you in this most difficult time. I was blessed to spend a year with Tami when she was a VICA state officer in high school. I was the state director of VICA and my family and I shared so many wonderful moments with Tami and the other students on her team. She was a bright, energetic and beautiful young lady. I'll never forget her smile and all she did as a young leader to make others feel valued. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.

I met Tami one time while celebrating a friend's birthday. As soon as Amy introduced her, I knew she had such a fun personality. We had so much fun that night hanging out, and Tami definitely didn't want the night to end. She became the life of the party that night. Everyone had such a great time that night, and I'm so lucky to have met such a wonderful person even if for only one night. Tami was such a beautiful girl. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families.
