Bonnie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. To lose a child (at any age) is so, so hard as you so well know. I remember when Tammy was born and my mother took us to see her. I have informed my brother Jerry Walker and my sister, Donna so that they too will have you and your family in their prayers at this difficult time. You are always in our hearts my dear cousin.

Kevin & family,
I am so very very sorry for your loss. I haven't even see you all for what seems like forever, but you and your folks come to mind often(especially as I drive down 67th St). My heart goes out to you and your kids. Tammy and you were such sweet kids together and I am certain that she will be greatly missed. I wish I could find the right words to make it all better, just know that you all are in my prayers. God bless.
