Tammy was more than a big sister she was a friend. She always had a kiss and a hug and a laugh when I needed it. I can't believe I will not be able to go to Frankfort and find my sister. She will be deeply missed and loved forever! I Love you all! Love Lori

Robert, my sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family at this very difficult time. Although I am not related, our families have a lot of history, and I have always thought a lot of you, and have always thought of you as my uncle. May God be with all of you at this time. Also, my sympathies go out to my two brothers. I am sorry for your loss as well.
