Not sure what to say?

Tammy was my big sister. She was fun, interesting and never boring. She always had my back. She married at 18 years old. I was 13. I missed her SO much! Home was not fun for me anymore. It was boring without her there. The first years she left was so hard. I was depressed. Fortunately they eventually moved back to Pendleton so I was able to see her more often. I was so proud of her. She had some amazing accomplishments. She also never failed to let me know that she was proud of...

Dear gentle, kind, beautiful and compassionate Tammy. I look forward to someday sharing joy and laughter with you in heaven.

As an in-law cousin of Tammy I loved her when I first met her. She was one of the most gracious women I've known. She had a lovely gentle spirit that automatically endeared her to everyone. She will be missed by all who knew and love her. Her passing has sweetened heaven a bit for each of us.

Remembering my cool cousin who was on national TV. An amazing thing for a little boy to see. As an adult I remember a gracious lady with an easy, frequent, fun loving, laugh. She was the kind of person that causes a pall of sadness to overtake you when you hear of her passing followed by immediate joy because you know she has run into the gracious arms of Jesus in whom she trusted.

Tammy was a very special person in my life. A sister-in-law and a very dear friend. Our husbands were twins so sharing life was always eventful but a joy as well."The gift of a lifetime is a lifelong friend" I am so blessed having had the three of them in my life.

This lady has such a special place in my heart. She hired me on the spot when I applied at BT in 1984. We just "connected". I was blessed to work with her for 15 years. Bob and Bruce were connected with FGBM, and the relationship matured. Love them both for the God loving, wonderful people they were. So blessed by their friendship in our life ❤

Tammy was our stepmother for almost 47 years. She brought sunlight into a room and peace into hearts. A wonderful Christian women, wife, mother, friend who cared more and loved more than most. I had the opportunity to sit with Tammy just before she passed and the blessing of that will stay with me for a very long time. I said goodbye to Tammy knowing that she would be by dad's side soon. They are both so deeply missed.

Tami; the last time we saw each other, you gave me the most amazing hug. It went long past my comfort. You squeezed and held me tight, and when we pulled away you had tears in your eyes. We had Smalltalk and focused on the event ( your granddaughters dance recital ) and I remember as we pulled away in different cars you placed your palm on the window facing me, and I did the same. We'll meet again someday soon, and share another smile and a hug.

Tammy: you are one of my best friends and I am so glad we will be together forever one day. My love to the whole family and I'm so thankful you and Bob could leave this earth so close to each other. Love, Debbie Harris
