I was rather shaken to have read that Tammy had passed away. I was also a Heritage High School graduate, but just a year prior to when she had finished up. I remember Tammy being a bright, colorful kid, who was as kind as she was cute. Though she and I weren't necessarily friends, I'd see her frequently in the hall and in certain classes we shared and I don't think there was ever a moment when I thought her smile could ever wear off.

Her picture here is a wonderful depiction of the Tammy I recall. My condolences to her family and friends.
