Happy birthday beautiful niece. Usually your mom would be writing to you today, but now I am sure she is spending today by your side. I was thinking of your mom just now when I realized that today is July 5th, so thought I would stop and wish you a wonderful afterlife birthday missing you both! Love A.K.

Hi hon. Thinking about you yesterday and today. This 29th was not as bad as the past 29th's. I just keep thinking that although you are gone, I still have all the memories of you and those will never be out of my mind. Made is a little easier. Your children are doing great. Love you and miss you very much

August 25, 2020

Always thinking of you. I thought of you today when I told Pippi a story about, you and the lady who had the pkg. I sent you that you went to pick up at your old house. I still remember your voice on the phone when we laughed about how weird it all was. It made me smile to see your face in my mind. Layover you always, aunt Kat

Heyyy. (you use to always say that).Wrote this out yesterday and started all over two or three times,had a lot of things to say but. First, I love you and miss you very much. Sang Happy birthday to you in my creaky, aging voice and laughed the whole time because I knew you would be laughing at me too. Read a lot of nice comments on fb about you which are all true. I didn't wish you a heavenly birthday because I consider the day you left us as your heavenly birthday. God took you away from all your pain and you were born again in heaven. Actually, when I think of it this way it eases my pain too. I don't wonder what you would be like because I know. You would still have a heart as big as ever and a smile that was always beautiful and welcoming. Your children are beautiful,like you, and always call me to tell me whats going on in their lives. I love this. Watch over them and guide them. Watch over your sisters and brother and your dad. Again honey I love you and miss you more then ever.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. When The girls and I were making Christmas cookies (and every other time we bake) I tell them what a wonderful cookie maker you were and how you made the best m&m cookies. I also made a few things that you showed me to make. Austin had dinner with us and as usual reminded me not to be so hard on Gage and reminded Gage to be glad his mom is here to fuss at him. I love his visits. I love you very much. I know you hear me every night but please watching over Quinnie. She's the sweetest kid and has had to grow up so fast. Her kindness reminds me of you.

December 25, 2013

Another Christmas without you,but I know you're around. Love you and miss you very much. I know you're proud of those children of yours. I am. Merry Christmas Tam.

Pam told me of this site and even though I'm told Angels are too busy to be reading things I came to this site to post some thoughts. You are always in my mind and there is never a day that I don't tell someone about you. I talk about your cancer but more importantly I talk about how strong you were and how proud we all are of you and how you left two wonderful children as a legacy. As Christmas nears I think about a Christmas many years ago and how you gave me my first miracle and a belief that God actually existed. I know you are at peace and as your Dad I am happy for that but as your Dad I continue to miss you so much.
Love
Dad

I miss you sis and think of you everyday-keep watching over us. Sissi

2 years today. I think of you all the time. It suprises me everyday how much I miss you and think about you. I thought I would slowly forget, but I don't. Little things pop into my mind or I hear your laugh. I remember our last sister visit. All three of us. You were so tired but you still laughed at sis and I. I know you are always listening and watching. I love you!

Tammy, I admired your strength and courage, you are my hero, to fight so long and so hard for what you wanted. Your smile always shined thru your toughest times. You thought of others and not yourself.
Your children Austin & Carlie were the apples of your eye.
You gave them your smile and they wear it well. Kevin was the love by your side.
I know everyone is proud of you, and you deserve it.

Keep watch over your children, and stay always in their hearts.

Love and miss you

Tammy, I miss you..I'm not sure what to do next..All I know is all the memories I have of you..I can remember when I took you swimming, babysat for you, watched you grow. saw you every Christmas Eve and Day. Remember Mimmie's on Christmas Eve and Grandpa Steve's on Christmas Day until your mom and dad had a few more babies then it was at your Mom and Dads.
I'll remember your favorite crawdad eating place you took me to in 2004 , my tongue swelled,& taking you and Carley to her dentist. I wasn't sure who was more frighten..you or Carley. You hid around the corner looking at Carley every so often. Afraid Carley would be in pain and you couldn't bear that.
Tammy we all couldn't bear to see you in pain any longer. Your mom, Kevin, all of us. I wished you could have stayed longer but that would have been selfish. Your at rest now. No more pain..
Your family misses you. I love you and will write again.
Kevin , Carley and Austin I know how much Tammy was loved by you . I have seen it, love aunt colleen

Mom
She was the best. We went through everything together when i was younger. She always enjoyed going to every baseball game i had, helped me with my homework and in the worst times she was always there for me. She was a great person, she did everything for everyone. If someone needed help she was always there, no matter what. She would never ask anyone to do anything for her. She always did it on her own.
She was a very loving person and an awesome mom and i will think and pray for her every day! She will be missed. i love you mom!
your son,
Austin

Tammy was a great big sister. She had a big heart and opened it to everyone. Her children meant everything to her and she fought hard to stay with them and her loving husband. It's hard to imagine that there is only three of us now and that my family doesn't have 30 more years with her. Tammy's goodness shows on this page with all of your good thoughts of her and prayers. Please always remember her goodness and share it often with people who may not have had the chance to know it. Don't take any phone calls, trips, or moments for granted. To my loving sister I love you always and hope and pray to be looking down on our great great grandchildren together one day.

September 14, 2007

Tam, I miss you lots and want to pick up the phone and call you and talk about the races. I enjoyed calling you from every track we went to. Go Jeff! What will we do without you now. I will think of you often and fondly and remember all our coversations. My heart is saddened by loosing you but take comfort that you are at peace and with those who love you also. Visit us often, and watch over your family. Love you lots.

Therene, I did not know Tammy but felt as though I did through you. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Please don't hesitate if there is anything I can do for you.

I did not know Tammy as an adult, but she was my childhood best friend. We would put on "shows" on our front porches and dance to the GREASE soundtrack. We opened up fancy "restaurants" and served our friends marshmallows and Saltines. We would eavesdrop on her dad's band playing Chicago tunes in the basement and dance in the kitchen singing into ice cream scoops, and we would dream that one day we would marry Shawn Cassidy or Leif Garrett.

It is with fondness that I remember my childhood best friend.

Amanda Faulkner

September 1, 2007

I remember the first time I met Tammy at EJ's outpatient clinic. Always had a smile on her face and I always enjoyed talking with her. Her and I could talk for a longtime. I know she loved her family very much and I know she is watching over each and every one of ya'll.

Bruce and Donna Miller

We have known Tammy since she was the 5 year old around the corner. Our Muffy and Matt were best friends with all the Kucinski children. There are no words to adequately express our sadness for this family's loss. Our prayers all with you all.

Kevin and family,
I met Tammy when she was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's at Charity Hospital. She agreed to participate on a clinical trial to treat her cancer. I will always remember how brave she was and how she loved you all very much. She was a fighter till the end.
