Ruthye and Tamra returned to Florida with my family in 1973. I want to express my sympathy to Ruthye and the family. I had a daughter pass away last year and I understand how hard it is to lose one you love. Ruthye baked my daughter's wedding cake as her present. Tamra was also at the wedding.

I always had a great respect for Tamra and her love of family and her nursing career. I was heartbroken to hear of such a tragic loss to us all. Especially her family whom she loved so very much. I will never forget her beautiful smile and the loved she conveyed through her work as a nurse. We will all miss Tamra so very much. She was a bright star who was given to us for such a short while. May God bless her family whom she loved so much.

I would like to send my heartfelt sympathy to Tamara's family at this time of loss. I remember visiting with Ruthye, Eddie and Tammy in Smyrna, TN around 1970. I was very fond of them because of their friendship with my brother Jimmy.

My staff and I worked with Tammy for several months, she loved our hospital and we loved her on the 5th floor. I will remember her for several things, but mostly her love of nursing and her care and compassion for her patients.
