As I desperately struggle to cope with the inexplicable loss of Tammy Jo Brandt, my cousin's son's devoted wife, a proud and loving mother, a beautiful family member and friend to all, I came across the following poem that has, at least for a moment, given me some comfort:
I do not sleep.
I am thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
And when you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand there and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never met Tammy, she meant so very much to those mommies on the Twins Forums. We couldn't have survived without her positive attitude and her willingness to help us survive to the next day. She will be missed so very much. Your family is in our prayers.

Having only known Tammy as a fellow twin mommy from TMMB does not make her passing any less painful. I can only imagine what you all are going through right now. Our prayers and condolences are with your family now and years from now as I remember Ben and Kyle (they are one week older than my twin boys). I hurt for each of you and the loss that you have. I pray that you will find peace and understanding during this difficult time.
Much love,

Denny and I are so stunned and so sorry that such a young beautiful ray of sunshine is gone. I remember when Tammy was born and what an incredibly smart, sweet, talented child she was. The world is definitely darker with her departure. Our condolences to Bob and the twins, and to her very loving family.

Was there any situation that Tammy couldn't find the positive aspect of? I cannot express how much richness Tammy brought to my life and the lives of everyone around her. Who else could make you want nothing more than to discover the mysteries of Chaos Theory or spend an evening looking at fractals? Tammy's incredible smile lives on through her lovely little boys. We will miss you so much. All my love to Bobby, Benjamin and Kyle, the Gebhardts, and all of Tammy's friends and loved ones.

Tammy's family,
Even though I only just met Tammy recently, through Khyla marring my son Justin, I could tell she was a wonderful person. I recently have had a huge loss in my life as well with the death of my husband Daryl, I know what you are going through. Please know that you will find each day a little easier. The ache does not go away, but you will learn to live with the pain. Don't be afraid to talk about Tammy, for this really does help. Remember the good times with her and take strength in your love for her wonderful babies. Bobbie, you will need to lean on your family now, I know they will be there for you. Make sure you take care of yourself, for your babies need you.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May god bless all of you.

Dear Bobby, Ben, Kyle and the rest of Tammy's family and friends, I cannot express in words how deeply sorry I am for your tragic loss. Tammy was such a shining light to all of us other twin mommies.
