Tammy Rios

Well enough though we never met, i do realize the impact you had on everyone...especially my dad. And even though you not here in body, i know that your spirit still remains here within others and i know that everyone is thankful for that!! Let u rest in peace and i love u aunty!!

I miss you so much Tammy. Community Care Licensing is not the same without you there. But your Clerks are better women to have known you. And we are even closer because of our loss of you. We work together in memory of you. We stand together because God used you to set us up in place. I was your last assignment. And I will always be eternally grateful. Love you always - Carlita Lawson

Two days ago I was shocked by the news of Tammy's death. I was rendered speechless until today.

Since I retired in December 2000, Tammy and I would have lunch or talk on the phone to catch-up on what was going on in our lives. I will miss our spiritual conversations, gospel music and her sharing of her church's daily prayer calendar.

Although, I now have tears of sadness that reminds me of Tammy's encouraging smile and confident walk with the Lord, it has been a...

Happy Birthday Homey, I miss you! Love you!

When I think back to the farthest depths of my child hood memories, Tammy was there. We played and chased each other around the playground at Fairbanks Elementary School. We saw each other every morning in registration class at Las Palmas and Norte -- our last names started with R. Tammy was one of the nicest and sweetest people I had ever known. I feel like I've lost a sister. It does give me peace of mind to know that now she sits with God in Heaven. I will always remember Tammy Rios.

I remember the first time I saw you in church. I said "hey that is Lorna's Aunt Punkin". Forever I thought that was your name. I later learned in church that you were Tammy. You were such a wonderful person, so full of life. Punkin you will forever live in my heart.

I will always remember you. You told me to call you "Auntie Punkin". You always were so nice to me and when I was younger, you would always give me candy. I will really miss you.

I am so saddened to hear of Tammy's passing. I worked with Tammy when I first started working for the State/DPSS. Even after she left State Hearings we crossed paths on several occassions with great delight. She was a special person. My prayers are with you Tammy and family.
