My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. What an honor and privilege to have Tami as a near and dear friend. Her smile and laugher was infectious to those around here. Our Saturday's aren't the same without seeing Tami and her mother at lunch, at Hobby Lobby and Scribners. We always looked forward to our Saturday night beading and play time with the "girls". Tami will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart and is missed terribly.

My prayers are with you, Ms. Betty/Bud/Michael. I will always remember the good ole days when we were growing up. I remember the good times at the "Cherokee Strip" apartment and out at the farm. Even though we were far apart, I always thought of her. She will always be remembered and loved as one of my best friends.

I too went to school with Tami and can't believe she passed so fast. Tami was a very fun and happy person to be around. She touched many, many lives. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy for the family.

I worked with Tami at St. Mary's for many years. She always shared a bright smile and could make anyone feel appreciated and special. I am so sorry to hear of her passing, but know that she is rejoicing in Heaven. She would smile and let us know she is in a good place and not to be sad for her.

My prayers are with Tami's family (Betty, Bud and Mike) I loved Tami like a sister and that is how I still feel about her. Tami and I were in the Shining Lights together along with Teena, Jan, Janna, Becki and Donna. I will never ever forget that part of my life. It was the best. Tami and I were also roommates for a while and boy did we have fun. She made me laugh all the time with the pranks she would pull on me and others. This world will be less without her but Heaven just got better.

Tami was a precious gift that was given to me when I worked at St. Mary's for a short time. No one was a stranger to her. She loved to the fullest and cherished her friendships.
I will miss my dear friend. May God be with her family and give them comfort and peace during this time.

My prayers go out to Tami's family. I worked with her at St Mary's for many years. She always had a smile. If you were down about something spend 5 minutes with Tami. Our Halloween contests were the best. She was always dressed up. She would keep me in tears from laughing. I am sure she has everyone in Heaven rolling. God Bless her and her family. I will miss you and keep you in my heart until we meet again.

Tami was like a big sister to me for several years and I and my family will miss her so much. Our prayers go out to her family and friends. I will always remember our Elvis trip to Memphis and all the "Saturday Night Fights" at my mom's house.

I have known Tami for years. We used to go to Church camp together at Roman Nose and in Perkins and also in Missourri. She attended Christian Union Church here in Enid and I attended in Goltry. I knew her from the time I was 8 and ran into her once again when I started working at St Mary's hospital almost 10 years ago. Tami loved life and always lived to the fullest. She was a joyous person and we will all deeply miss her! Rest in peace now in the precious arms of Jesus!!!!!

My deepest condolences to you. Tami and I, along with Gayla and Debbie, had such a wonderful connection in high school. Many a cherished time was spent in the library together, giggling about the days events. Many of my most cherished memories of my teen years were with Tami, the fun that we shared in our group. She was an incredibly funny gal with an amazing laugh. Though I lost touch with her after EHS, she will always hold a very special place in my heart. May God surround you with love and comfort duing this very sad time.

I was honored to have watched Tami grow in the Lord at church. She was definitely beautiful inside and out. I know she is continuing to be a "Shining Light" in heaven.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of loss.
God Bless You.

I was also a friend of Tami's in Jr High and High School. We all had a lot of fun back then. I also didn't keep in touch and now I feel a loss that I didn't get to know her better as an adult. I was thinking about her over the weekend, fun thoughts of good times. Now I know why. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all of her many freinds that will miss her dearly.

Deepest sympathy to Tamara's family. We worked together for 19 years at St Marys . She joined the Business Office the same time I did. I still have a couple of her recipes that she gave me. I will miss seeing her and her mom shopping together.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you. Tami and I were friends in Jr High and High School. I remember on graduation night we had a big party at her house! We had nicknames for each other and whenever I would call her by her nickname(Tink) and she would say, ONLY YOU would call me that! Then she would laugh. Oh could she laugh! It was infectious!!! I have many great memories and I will miss her terribly!

Tami was a very special person and a joy to work with. She was one of the first persons I met when I joined UHS and traveled to OK. She made me feel so welcome and at-home. Her sweet personality made everyday a joy, I just loved getting her emails with the little tid-bits of humor and fun! Tami will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers go to her family and her St Mary's friends.

I work at the UHS Corporate Office in Pennsylvania and personally met Tami while I was at St.Mary's during the transition of the hospital. We immediately became friends. I enjoyed the next few years as a co-worker from a far and enjoyed our professional and personal interactions. It was a loss to me when she moved into her Human Resource position as I no longer got to hear her voice on the phone. I am very saddened to hear of her loss. Tami was one of the good people. She will be missed.

My heartfelt thoughts and condolences to the family. Tamara and I were best friends in junior high and high school...after that I lost touch with her. I am saddened and shocked by this loss. I remember our 16 birthday party at her home, sleeping in the garage and we both had a thing for sylvester stallone...also buying the awful colored suspenders. We had some great times and I'm so sorry we lost touch. My heart aches for the loss of a dear friend.
