Tam,

Well tomorrow is the 6 month mark and it still hurts like the first day. I'll never get used to this! For someone so tiny you have left a big whole in a lot of hearts. I'm trying my hardest to do what I need to do for you and the kids. Hopefully I'm doing okay. If not we'll talk about it when I see you. Christmas this year is pretty much going to suck. I know you are watching us and are with us in our hearts and memories but I'd much rather have you here. Gotta go. See you in my dreams.

Love ya and miss you lots.

Your Big Sister

2 days. That's the 2 month mark. It's also my 21st birthday. In the last 2 months, there's so much that you've missed out on. I'm gonna get married. Next year. I've seen you in my dreams and I think you'd love him. He's amazing and wonderful and really good to me.



Matt and the girls are doing alright I suppose. Did you see what Abby left you in the Salt Flats? I hope so. There are so many things left to say but I don't know how to say them. So I'll let you read my thoughts. I love you and I miss you.

Amanda, I met your mother when your family made a trip to S.C., and you and your brother stayed with us a couple days. Then the next summer your parents welcomed Tessa for a visit with you for a week. When I talked to your mother I felt so comfortable knowing Tessa was safe and well cared for. I remember she took you two to the mall and around places in K.C. Your dad and her were so sweet to have Tessa there; I'll aways be thankful for her for being Tessa's mother away from home. We are sorry to learn that your family has lost her. We send our love and hope.

Tom, Amanda, Matt, Abby and Susan,

I can't even begin to tell you how much Adam, Rebecca and I hurt for you. I lost my mom almost 40 years ago. I can tell you the hurt does get better, but it's always there-just a little ache in your heart. Tammy was one of the first people I looked for on Sunday morning when we attended EFOC. She always had a smile and a hug, and was one of the most genuine people I ever met. You guys should be proud of your mom-anyone who lives life on their own terms deserves admiration. You guys take care of each other, laugh often when you remember your mom, and know that she was greatly loved and will be missed by a lot of people.

You're in our prayers.

Mom- You will always be missed. I didn't think that I would end this week this way. I thought that I was going to be able to see your reaction when you got home from vacation and there was an inflatable kiddy pool in your kitchen. By the way that was the suprise I keep telling you about. I will keep you in my heart and know always that you loved me and the girls. I also know that now I have an angel in heaven loking down on me and laughing at all the stupid things that I do. You always laughed when people would ask what was wrong with me...mental wise that is. I just wish that god didn't need you so soon...I wish that you could be here in a few of years when I get married and start to raise a family...I only hope that I can raise my children as well as you raised us. I love you and miss you. I only want to ask a couple of things from you....say hi to Elvis for me and if you see Jared tell him that I miss him too....I am sure that he will let you ride with him until the day that me or dad get to come home and see you again. I love you!

To Family and Friends,

I knew Tammy and family from youth group at Berean Baptist Church. Tammy and I were good friends in Jr High School. Although it has been many years since I last saw her, my memories are of a great and caring friend. And I know that she is in Heaven with our Lord. God Bless you, Tammy.

My thoughts, love and prayers are with all of Tammy's family.

God Bless.

Mom, I know you're right there on my shoulder, watching over me. I'm being strong for everyone. I hope you like everything I've decided on. I would have had you cremated, seperated into six parts and had that sixth part tossed into the grand canyon, but I didn't want to think of you that way. I want someplace to escape to. So I hope that when we meet again, you'll understand.



I'll always love you and I'll never forget everything we shared.
