Tammy Fiorillo Obituary
FIORILLO Tammy Lynn June 27, 1970 - July 30, 2008 It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of Tammy on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 in Kamloops, BC, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Predeceased by her mother, Margaret, Tammy is survived by her loving husband David; daughters Lauren, Marissa, and Isabella; sister Barbara; brother George Jr.; father George Olver, and many, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Tammy - always a professional: teacher, mentor and friend - will be missed by her co-workers at RCH and other health facilities where she practiced nursing for the past 17 years. Special thanks to Aunt Susan who provided extraordinary care to the three little girls during this tragic time, and to the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital. A Celebration of Tammy's life will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 72nd Ave., Surrey. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Tammy's name to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

Tam it's Thanksgiving again, one of your favorite times of the year next to Christmas. I brought home leftovers and had a stuffed turkey cranberry sandwich for you( Your favorite ) as a midnight snack. I know you used to love that after Thanksgiving dinner .
The kids are sure missing you this year but I told them your watching over us all right now. We had a clear night on Thanksgiving so the kids all went out to look for you in the night sky and say good night to you like they do everynight they can see you. Your the brightest burning star in the sky for them to see.
It's been very hard without you with us the last few months but the kids know your with your Mom so it gives them comfort. I'm trying my best to make you proud in raising our little girls and know your helping me from the sidelines.
I love you hon, and your always on our minds and in our hearts...........

Happy Thanksgiving Tam....
You are missed so much. Next will be Halloween and Steven's birthday. I'll always remember the day he was born. You made it so special because you were right there bringing him to me after he was weighed. This year will be so sad because he doesn't understand where Auntie Tam is...He asks for you often and sometimes it's as if he sees you...keep talking to him Tam...we all need to know you're looking over us.
Love Bub

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have been trying for days to find the perfect words to write but I still have yet to know what they are.... Tammy was such an amazing women ~ who's smile was contagious, her laugh was pure joy, and knowing she was your friend made life better. I will never forget the little ways she made my days better...Bringing me a Timmy's when she knew I was going to have a "crazy" day or giving me some tupperware just because! Tammy will live in my heart always ~ she truly was one of a kind!
Dave ~ if you or the girls need anything please call....We love you! Sarah, Joey, Austyn & Jordanna

Tam,
From the time that we were little,
I knew you’d always be
Not just a loving sister
But a caring friend to me.
A shoulder I could cry on,
A helping hand in times of need
A cheerleader to lift me up
My angel in both worth and deed.
We told each other secrets,
We giggled and we cried,
We shared our joys and sorrows
We were always side by side
We have a very special bond
I knew it from the start
You’ll have my love forever
We’re sisters, heart to heart.
Love you forever and always,
Your big sister....Bub...xoxoxoxoxo
