My sincere prayers and heart felt condolences are with you all at this most difficult time. Tammy was an inspiration to everyone around her and loved dearly by her family and friends. I know that losing someone you love is the most excruciating pain we can go through but look to GOD because he's the author and finisher of your FAITH, the only one that can heal your HURT, give you PEACE, and the STRENGTH you need. Know that whatever GOD brings you to, he will bring you through. When you face difficult times and can't hear from anyone remember Psalms:23, For GOD is “Whatever you need him to be”.
My deepest sympathy!

My thoughts and Prayers are with the entire Family.Tammy will be missed by many. I have many fond memories that I will cherish forever, like when we took our boys (Tre'& Lil James) to the zoo when they were 5yrs old. Our Gulf Coast Trips. The time we had Girls Night and we gathered at Penny's house to watch Disappearing Acts. My boys thought of you more as an Aunt than a Cousin. You were so funny and you always kept it real. Your laugh, your smile,the way you always used the phrase "How they say" whenever we talked, will be missed forever! So many hearts are heavy and eyes filled with tears, take comfort in knowing she is absent from the body, but present with the Lord!!

Alvie Mixon Jr

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
I LOVE YOU TAMMY!!!
