You will be missed so much Tami by so many of us. Your smile is unforgettable, and your strength admirable. You will forever be in our hearts. God has taken you to his beautiful place in heaven. We love.

A loved one that has finished their life on earth is not dead, there life has just began. They are still with us in spirit. That you must believe. When we lose someone we love, the loss seems too great to bear, God sends us friends to comfort us, to show tht He deeply cares.





Kitty, here is a poem for your and the family.



God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.

He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.



He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.

His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.

And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,

He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,

We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,

You live on through your child, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.



Condolences from the De La Torre Family

It is difficult to tell you how deeply I feel about Tami`s passing. My mom shared with me the loss of a very special person.



I remember Tami as a loving friend who enjoyed every moment of life. You can always tell from her wonderful smile, she would make me enjoy life just from her loving personalty, her thoughtfulness and kindness, and that great smile. This all comes from the love she received from you Kitty and Jackie, and the continued love from James and Johnathan. I have always keep the Thorn family in my heart. I periodically stop by to visit Gary. I know you wil all be together again someday, as I will be with our little angel. Cherish all the wonderful memories, as you know this is what Tami expects of everyone. Our loved ones are gone, but will never be forgotten.



Thank you for bringing a wonderful person into my life, and everyone she has touched. I have been blessed to know and to have such a loving friend.



I will say a special prayer for Tami, James, Johnathan, and all of you.



God Bless,



Chris, Teri, Christina, Ashly, Brando Cisneros
