I, too, feel very saddened by the loss of such a wonderful person. Tamara inspired my life in general and also my quilting life. I am reminded of her each and everyday as I quilt on her first Statler. She changed my life in so many ways. I hope that the memories she built with all of you can bring you comfort at this time.
