Tamara Fife

Tamara - you were so many things to so many people. I find it hard to describe your loss...like losing majestic redwoods that gave us all oxygen. I promise to nourish the seeds of a better world you planted, and take your life lessons to heart. Thank you for being a second mother and a friend to me. We love you so, so much, Mama Who!

My heart will always hurt missing you...I pray four your husband,children and all who knew and loved you that they each find comfort in the beautiful memories you all made...I know I sure have many and will rely on the memories we made to help me process such a huge hole in our lives. I will make every effort to fill that hole with love, prayers and and all good uplifting words...REST IN PARADISE MY FRIEND..

I met Tamara almost 20 years ago. I interviewed for a front office position and she was on the interview panel, she ended up hiring me for a social services position at SPIPA working with her directly. She invited me to lunch my first day there and when we got to the restaurant, she realized she forgot her wallet! We always made jokes about that over the years when we´d get together for lunch. She was more than a co-worker, more than my supervisor, she was my friend and I miss her so much...

Tamara was a very fine friend and co-worker. As the head of the department she always encouraged and took care of her staff. I enjoyed working with her and will miss her smiling face.
