T2...I've been trying to write an entry in your guest book for over a week. It has been very difficult because for myself, as well as the rest of your extended AOTT sisters and family , we still can not grasp the fact that you are gone from our lives.So very sad because you had so much more to give to this world and to your husband,children and friends.We do not want to say goodbye and yet we have to. I take some comfort in the fact that you had to know how much you were loved by your friends and family. I also believe that the love you left behind will carry on because you gave your heart and soul to all that knew you. I know your world is full of angels now and that you're safe and sound...but I still do not want to say goodbye.What I will say for now is good night...you are beautiful and I love you. MJ

Tami was my room mate our senior year of college and we both graduated from FSC with degrees in Physical Education. Tami helped me through that final year with a lot of laughter and fun. I hadn't seen her since graduation, until last year ? when she returned to Lakeland to honor a retiring teacher. What a gift it was to see her and spend some time. We had hoped to meet up out West, as I have grown to love it as well. We talked about our kids, and I was impressed with Tami's insight. We have lost a special friend, a special person. May her family find comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry for your lost, i pray that the "God of all comfort" help you during this difficult time 2Cor1:3

What an honor it was to know you and what a blessing you have been in my life! As a college roommate and sorority sister you taught me how to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Your smile and your laugh were infectious! After school, I'll never forget the hysterical times we had skiing in Jackson Hole when you moved and worked out West. As a friend I still remember exactly where I was when reading the letter from you about the man you were falling in love with. Your bachelorette party was like none other, and I can still see the pristine day on the ranch when you got married and how perfect and beautiful everything was until that silly bee started attacking our bouquets, moving from one bridesmaid to the next. I think we all kept our composures quite well. As moms I loved our conversations about our kids and all of their trials and accomplishments. You were such a hands on, loving mother, and I respected you so much for that. Can't say I know many mothers who would wake up at 5:30 am so they could work out before their kids did in order to direct your full attention to them for the rest of the day. As a friend I'll never ever forget the fun we had on our awesome fifty-something adventures. You broadened my horizons and had me trying things I would never have done. You are the real deal, Tami, and I will hold these memories forever. Rest in Peace now with your beautiful family in heaven because you will live in the hearts of your friends, family and relatives here forever.

RIP Tami thoughts and prayers with your precious family You will truly be missed by ALL who were blessed to know you. I know you are having a reunion with your family who preceded you. What a loss to this world.Pat Rackliff

I have always felt privileged to have met Tami and her lovely family.
We shared many mornings of early morning exercise together and spending time with her was a pleasure.
She is missed and my thoughts are with her family.

Tami was my oldest and best friend, a second sister. We have shared so many great times together starting on 57th Court, Lauderdale and CGH; Stone Harbor, NJ; Disney with Murphy's; Rosemont, PA; NY; weddings; raising family and Godmother to Thomas; Cody and much more. She was a true friend, mother, wife and Aunt. She will always be in my heart. I send my heart felt condolences to the Collier and McGinty families, we truly have been blessed to have loved and been loved by Tami.
