Blessed are those who die in the Lord ...they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.


Tammy was my best friend and a steady light in the lives of my family. I pray that she is now truly resting in the love of the Lord.

I had the privledge to work with Tammy at Interfaith for a number of years. Tammy always had a smile on her face and a kind word to share! Tammy and I would talk about our daughters since they are the same age. I remember when she was one of the van drivers and would
take my son to school at Hailey Elementary also! Of course, I would
always look forward to my Avon orders!! Tammy will be missed and
I will be thinking and praying for all of you! Hugs, Cindy Agnor
