Dear Sylvia, Today you will celebrate the sweet life of Tami. Though she has left us, there is her smile and laughter in the lives of her children. I am praying that you are able to see them and form the link between them as their Grandmother. Be comforted that she lives on in her beautiful children. She lives on in every life she touched.

I have attempted to write this message several times and had to restart because I couldn't see or type through the tears. What a beautiful picture of you Tami. So appropriate, that head turning smile. You started off as my associate and ended up my good friend. I will never forget you. You were a light for others through their darkness. Always so positive and uplifting. I just wanted to tell you that you did make a difference in my life and so many other's. We LOVE you sincerely here in Lake Charles and we are missing you like crazy.I know you are up there cracking your corny little jokes to your daddy. Lol! &I know he is so happy to be holding his little girl again.
I LOVE & MISS YOU TAMI???
