Tami has been my friend since we were in the 5th grade. Many of my happy memories from my adolescence include her. Although, as adults, we didn't get to spend as much time together as we would have liked I do know this: Tami loved and cherished her children, her family and her friends. I am a better person for having known her; I loved her and will miss her always.

I love you momma. I miss you forever. You'll NEVER be forgotten. Although my children will never know you, they will know you through our stories and experiences. You'll always be perfect in their eyes. And you're perfect in mine. I love you. And miss you terribly. Love, your baby girl.
