Not sure what to say?

So very sorry to learn of Tamara's passing. I worked with Tamara at the East Portland Post office in 1999-2000. She was exceptionally kind to me and even graced me with a nickname, "Sissy" saying I reminded her of Sissy Spacek. She was one of those rare few I have met in this world who touched the lives of all those around her in a positive and memorable way. God's blessings to Michael and all those who knew and loved her best.

Rest in peace, Tamara. It was a pleasure to meet you in PAC. I always admired your positive energy and your wisdom in court. As well as your cooking and baking! I know all of the team members and I will always miss you.

It would be quite difficult to find someone so amazing who was filled with so much goodness and love. I did however find such a person in Tamara Sue Swan. She was so excepting of all who came upon her path which was one of the many things that made her so wonderful. I was fortunate enough to be a boyfriend for a few years and cherish the memories of the creative and joyous times we spent together. We met in 1981 on Valentines day so we celebrated a very special anniversary each year we...

peace to your soul as the sky sparks a
new light.

Tamara will surely be missed! Prayers for family and friends during this time.

Tamara remains the only person who made me laugh so hard I actually snorted. The world is certainly a less colorful and interesting place without her in it.

RIP my friend, so many wonderful memories with you ... always marching to your own drum ... a lover & fighter for Humanity!

Tamara! Thank you for all wonderful memory

I am so very sorry about your loss. I was so hoping she would still have a happy weekend in Black Butte and am sad that it did not work out. I was so impressed how she played tennis as long as she could, even with that device strapped around her waist. She never gave up on a point. , and she was a wonderful tennis partner and teammate.
