We were so sad to hear that Tammy was gone. She had called on our office for some time now. She never came in without a great big smile on her face. She would light up the office when she came in. She will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Libby,
I am so sorry for your loss. We know the pain you all are feeling because we lost our son Bobby in March 2009. I remember Tammy Jo as she & my kids Bobby, Gary, Keith, Angie & Rhonda Asbill rode the strip in Batesburg (which was their favorite thing to do back then), went to church together and enjoyed friendships of each other. May God touch your hearts. The answers may never be there for us in this world but one day we will know. And we will see them again in heaven. Oh what a glorious day that will be!!!
Our love and prayers,
Ray & Annette Asbill

Tammy and I worked together at Bellsouth. Brett played baseball with my son for a number of years. They are both beautiful people. Tammy will now be sharing that beautiful smile with her brothers and sisters in heaven! She was sweet beyond words and always made me feel special whenever I was lucky enough to see her!

I met Tammy Jo while I was singing with the O'Kaysions at the Peach Festival a few years ago & she was performing with Jumpstart. We realized that we shared a mutual friend and that we lived in the same area. After that, it seemed like we kept running into each other around town. She was always so upbeat and friendly with a beautiful smile on her face. I am praying for your family, sweet lady. May you rest in eternal peace.

I've never seen Tammy Jo when she wasn't smiling and happy......I know she's still that way now up in Heaven. :) To a wonderful and sweet girl.....we will miss you Tammy Jo! :)

Tammy Parker was one of the finest people I have had the honor of knowing. I consider myself blessed to have known her and call her my friend. Her beautiful smile and kind heart were a rare find. Her outward beauty was only surpassed by her inner beauty. Her loss will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

The family of Tammy Jo, I sang with Tammy Jo when she sang with Wayne Pittmann of the O'Kaysions. I have always thought of her over the years and she had a special place in my heart. She truly had a beautiful and peaceful spirit. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I looked forward to our gigs up and down the east coast. I am living in Wyoiming now and am truely grieving her loss. Her loss has awakened in me the importance in telling all you love how much you appreciate them and how mcuh you love them. We now have another ANGEL in heavem who has a voice to compfort all that hear her. As I write this, I am shedding tears to a beautiful woman. Tammy Jo, you are an Angel!

My beautiful friend Tammy & I shared much laughter & wonderful memories for many years. Hearing her cheerful voice & seeing that fabulous smile, would make anyone yearn to have her zest for life. She was that rare person with great energy & always a great attitude. Tammy is surely a bright shining star in heaven, just as she was here on earth. May God always hold the hand of Brooke & Zach as he guides the family through their lives, away from this time of sorrow. I will forever cherish the laughter and friendship we shared. May God bless & keep each of you.

We are so very sorry to hear of Tammy's passing. She called on our office in Orangeburg many, many times over the years. She never came in without that huge smile, and something kind to say.

Tammy will always have a place in my heart. I remember riding with her to watch the band play and us singing the new songs all the way there to help her remember the words. My vocals were not a contribution, but it was fun and we laughed the whole way. Her laughter is so contagious! I know we will hear her laughing and singing when we see her in heaven! God Bless Tammy Jo, Brett, Brooke, and Zach. You are special people.

Brett,
I was in shock to hear of this sad news. I remember when you and Tammy came in to enroll Brooke in Kindergarten at BES. Both of you were always there for her. I am now at our District Office and miss seeing all the wonderful parents and students each day. With the job I have now I am touching more families by e-mails and phone. The Parker family always had a special place in my heart and Tammy will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you, the children and all others who are and will be effected by this lost.
Lord God,
you have called your servants
to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden,
through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage,not knowing where we go,but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
May you feel the love and support of Jesus Christ now and forever.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
