Dear Alice & Family
I am still numb and can't believe Tammie and Mike are gone. I can't even begin to explain to you in words how empty I felt when I was told the tragic news. Tammie and I go back a very long way and I always considered her and all of you family. I'm so glad I got to see the two of you this summer at the 711 store. Although It was the 1st time I had met Mike I was so happy for her, she had finally found true love with Mike. If there was one person who truly deserved happiness, it was Tammie. It somewhat relieves my emptiness knowing they will now be able to rest in piece together forever. Theirs was truly an original Love Story. She will remain always in my heart. I will come and see you when I come home from being out of town.
Sincerely
MaryAnn Scarsella

To the Cook and DiGiovanni Family, Our Deepest Symphathy go out to you and your entire family during this difficult time. I know that words cannot express how you feel with the loss of Tammie and Michael, but you know in your hearts that they are still together. We only had the pleasure of meeting Tammie on their wedding day. We wish we could have gotten to know Tammie better as I am sure she was a wonderful person. We knew Michael for over 20 years and we loved him. They made a beautiful couple. Please know that you are in our prayers. Donna, Hank and Lauren Giorgio

Tammie you will be greatly missed... There is not a day that I have not shed tears and I won't see one for a very very long time. You brought so much laughter into my life this past year since you met Mike, and I wish I had known you longer. I am so glad all of us were able to spend Saturday night together. The last vision I have of the both of you were us blowing kisses and saying "I love you's", with those beautiful smiles as the both of you walked out the door. Thats a memory that I will never forget...

It makes me feel better knowing that Mike is with you. I promise you that I will help my cousins in any way that I can. I will be here for them always. I love you auntie! You will be greatly missed. I will see you again some day.
Your loving nephew,

This message is sent to Tammie and Michaels families. Though we did not know Tammie personally,we are deeply saddened by the news of her death. Michael was my husbands cousin. We did not see Michael often but, cared a great deal for him. We are sickened and saddened that they had to leave this earth at such a young age. We know they are in heaven together. They are in our prayers. We send our love to all of you who loved Tammie and Michael. Cousins Vin and Linda Lanzieri....

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.

We are so sorry to hear of the tragedy to this part of our family. We did not actually have the pleasure of knowing Tammie. Although I have not seen Michael in about 30 years, he was my first cousin. My father Frank "BeBe" and Michael's father, Tony, are brothers. Our family has been praying to find Michael. Please know both Tammie and Michael are in our hearts and we will continue to pray for them and everyone whose lives have been directly affected. I love the beach and sitting on the rocks for the peace it offers me, and I know I will never be at the ocean's edge again and not think of them, and say a prayer for them. Peace and love to all, especially my Uncle Tony.
