My sweet girlfriend Tammy, I was so shocked and sad after talking with your mom and dad, that I made oatmeal Butterscotch cookies in your honor-you know like the ones your mom used to make us when we were pregnant. We have shared so many special memories together,from many years of working together @ IMPO,to getting married at the same time, being pregnant together,and going thru all of lifes challanges, good and bad...
I'm sure this was not in your plans to leave the people you love the most, I hope Jenniffer and Jessie know how much you love them and how proud you were of your children, I am so very sorry that you will never get to be a Grandma, You would of been the best.
I think of you always when I say Love You- See You- Bye...

We have done do many things in life together, from working together, to getting married @ the same time, having babies together and going through all of those crazy life changes.I thought we made it, you were so happy with life, your wonderful husband that you loved so much and of course Jenniffer and Jessie, both your pride and joy-god must have needed some one to keep him in line so he chose you-what better person for the job...
