When I think of my childhood, I think of Tammy. We've known each other since we were one and I have so many memories of us. We have been through a lot which made us closer. I just came across an old email Tammy wrote me 3 years ago. I wish I could call her, but I will see her again some day in Heaven. Your oldest and best friend, Cindy

I have known Tammy for half of my life. At one time she was like a second mother to me and most importantly a friend. Michaela and I were always the best of friends, if she was not at my house I was at hers. Same for Jackie and Candle. My dad always had the biggest crush on Tammy, her beauty was on both, the inside and out so I couldn't blame him! Me and Michaela would talk about being step sisters and how much fun that would be. Funny part is, we always claimed to be cousins and considering we looked so much alike there are still people today that never question our kinship. With that being said, Tammy and the girls will always be a part of my family. I wish I could've been there to give all of you such big hugs during this difficult time. Tammy was beautiful, funny, smart, and above all she was an amazing mom! She will truly be missed by many.
My family donated 50$ to cancer research in honor of Tammy. Hopefully one a day a cure will be found so no other family has to experience the pain of losing a loved one.
I pray that all the wonderful memories can serve as comfort to all if you during this difficult time and although it seems there are not enough just remember you now have the best guardian angel looking over you all!!
With love,
Tasha and family??

I was so sad to learn about Tammy. I remember so many of the crazy times we had, especially during the holidays at Grandma Cordle's house. My favorite is when the birthday cake fell off the top of the refrigerator. I don't know whose birthday cake it was, but we laughed so hard. I feel especially sad for her children. It will be so hard for them. So hard losing your Mom. A special hug for Michaela, Jackie, Candace, and Cody.
God Bless you all and I will be thinking of you this afternoon.
Love,
Christine(Mother of Andrea and Dedra Cordle)
