When the twins were little Chorline used to bring them over and leave them with me when she went to the beauty shop and my kids would look forward to them coming. Tamra had a very sweet and caring personality then. I don't know which one was older but she was always protective of Tondra.I'm reading all the things that everyone is saying about her,I see she did not change.
I haven't seen them in a long time,but Chorline and I talked about them in all of our long distance conversations. They were and are the apple of her eye.
Chorline I know it's hard right now, but all the prayers that's going on for you and your family there's no doubt in my mind that you're gonna be alright.I wish I could be there for you, but being I can't I've asked God to wrap His arms around you and give you an great big hug for me.
Love You!! Your friend always and forever.

Tamra and I struck up a true kinship while working our Sunday night shifts together at Nicor. Tamra often spoke of her mother, her twin sister and her nieces/nephews with nothing but love and affection. I know that she was looking forward to her next chapter in life, moving to N. Carolina to be with her family and become whole again. Please know how much you all meant to her and how blessed she felt being part of such a loving family.
I ache for her loss and wish strength to her family.

My buddy Tamra,

We have truly lost a special friend. I had the pleasure of working with Tamra for many years and have come to love her sense of humor, smile and spunky attitude. My heart breaks with her family and friends, but yet I know that heaven is a better place now---another angel has arrived. I pray for her family to help them cope with such a devasting loss--and hope they know that she touched so many of us in so many ways. It really is about how you made a difference in other people's lives while here on earth.....and Tamra did just that.

Thoughts and prayers to all,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Tamra. I know how difficult this must be for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Tamra loved her family very much and would share stories of her nieces and nephews and how she loved to spoil them. She was very proud of them all. I will miss her shopping stories, her laugh and that smile.

To Tondra I am very sorry to hear about the lost of your sister. I know that life without her is going to be hard for you because I know that the two of you were there for each other no matter what had happened. But I just want you to know that she is still with you in spirit and that no matter what happens she will still be by your side the only difference is that she is with you spiritually dressed in her long white robe her golden crown and her big white wings over shadowing you to let you know that she is still here watching over you.God bless you and your family Felicia Thomas (High School friend)

"God has called his angel home” I was blessed to have known her she has touched my life in many different ways. From the day I met you at Nicor I was able to call you a friend. Every year on July 17, you would call to say “Fe it’s our anniversary, we are the only two left from our class." I will miss that call this year but you will forever be in my heart.

Good Day,
Family members I worked with Tamra at Nicor Gas. She was always pleasant to work with and we had some very deep conversations. May your loving memories of her help you at this time of your loss. Also, the Bible relates of the hope of those dead may live again.

Kindest Regards,
