Tama S. McAleese

To those who loved Tama as I did.

Today I sit with many "Happy Tama" memories. I knew this day 2.13.09 was coming. What I didn't know was, how much pain and sadness I still feel after 365 days of our shared loss. The tears just flow. I miss Tama's voice of strength, her "rainbow behind the cloud" words of hope, her brilliant money facts, her joy and passion for mankind, life, plants, animals, birds, and oh yes, her "KISS" theory. There will never be another quite like Tama. I...

We remember that the first anniversary of Tama's death is coming up. Even though we knew and worked with her for a short time, we miss her deeply. She was an exceptional woman in every way. Her predictions are still ringing true. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim and her children.

Dear Jim,
We had not heard from you in awhile, so were looking on line to find your fax #, when we were shocked beyond belief to hear of Tama's untimely passing.
You and Tama touched our lives deeply, as well as those of our staff and many of our artists. We were so looking forward to your retiring here in Puerto Vallarta and spending more time listening to all those wonderful stories. Tama was a great story teller and we were always left wanting to hear more. We mourn your loss. And...

My heart broke after learning of Tama,s death upon my return from California this past Wednesday. While I knew her for only three years, her book, seminars and advice have changed my life for the better. I found Tama to be gunuine and honest. She spoke her mind which was most often backed up with knowledge, experience, and brilliance. I will truly miss her antidotal and life relating stories on Saturday mornings. God bless her.

We were utterly shocked to read the news of Tama's passing in the letter we received today. It doesn't seem possible that someone so full of life is no longer with us. We will be forever grateful to Tama for all of the advice and kindness over the years - she was a wonderful lady. She always brought smiles to our faces and warmth to our hearts when she remembered us on our birthdays, with beautiful Native American cards, signed "Love, as always, Tama." Jim, may the grace of God be with...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

I will miss listening to you every Saturday.

Jim & Family:
Tama became our Money Mom from first hearing her on the radio. Our fondness and apprectiation continued to grow through money school and counselling. We have come to ask, in all money matters, "What would Tama say" and we will continue to do so.
Our deepest sympathies. Know that Tama lives on in the hearts of many of us.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
