How does one wrap their brain aruond someone leaving this earth so soon? The only answer is trusting that God knows best, he had your day numbered before birth..your purpose was achieved. I believe it was to bring your beautiful boys into this world..your life had every resistence to what good you deserved..but God overcame that through life given to your boys..It saddens me your life was marked with such tragedy since you were born..but in His perfect plan The Battle Was Won! I love you Tammy..and I thank God daily he impressed, and nagged, me to go to your house the day before..and talk on the phone with you the night before.. praising you for the good work your children are doing in school. My last words to you..You must be so proud, God Blessed You!
My Mom, Dad, Grams,Gramps, Uncle Art and Jack must be so thrilled to have you with them , the joy of seeing Jesus, being in the bosom of Abraham..you've passed Shoel in it's shadow....enjoy the river of life! Love Aunt Sue

Tammy, we all love you very much.You always touched everyone you came in contact with.I still remember fondly all the times the whole gang hung out at your house after school (almost every day) and your mom was so cool to let everyone into her home as family.We also helped out and pitched in to get the new house on 4th. ave ready for you to move in.Times were alot better when we were all togather.Such as life,we grow up and out,but one thing still remains the same.The thought of you always brings a smile to my face.Everyone will miss you very much.
And to your family:keep that smile on your face and remember Tammy only saw the good in everything,we should be so lucky to see the world through her eyes.
Ps. Tammy I love you very much,you were like my little sister.You taught me the meaning of love and friendship.Until we meet again.I still and will always keep a special place in my heart for you.
Love ,Aunt Sue

Tammy, You know me..a lover of God..I needed him to tell me you are with him. He has. He gave me this scripture this am: his words "Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell the man what is right for him, to be gracious to him and say, Spare him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom for him, then his flesh is renewed like a child's it is restored as in the days of his youth.He prays to God and finds favor with him, he see God's face and shouts for joy, he is restored by God to his righteous state (Job 33:23-28). I'll see you when he lifts me up. You soul is so much more important than your flesh, you know that now. I love you...it'll be okay here, don't worry!!! Be happy!!!

Tammy, I do not want to say good bye. We were suppose to grow old together, you were suppose to be by my side when i get married, you were suppose to hold my hand while i have my first baby like I was for you. You were, you are one of the most important people in my life. I lay awake thinking of you, wishing I could see you one last time, wishing I could say I love you one last time. I'm heart broken thinking that I cant just call you or stop over to see you and tell you how crappy or good my life is and how your life is, to hear your voice one last time. I will miss your laugh, I will miss everything about you. My heart is broken with out you. I will watch out for your babies and husband, you know I'll do anything I can to be there and help our family. I will be the protector, the mediator, the peace, the love, the glue to keep everyone as close as I can. I will remind Cody and Donnie every day I live how much you love them and how lucky they are to have a mommy like you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, i will never forget you.
Love always
Your baby cous
Its going to be hard living without you. I will see you again, rest in peace.

To the family of Tammy. I knew Tammy since she was 6 months old. She was such a sweet baby. I babysat Tammy while her Mom was at work. She was close with our family. She called my husband father Tom. Tammy was like one of our own daughters. She will be missed. I'm sure she is now in the presents of the Lord and resting in His Arms. She is surrounded by friends and family and we will see her again. May God Bless her two children Cody and De and take good care of them. May the Lord be with her husband Don and Tammy's Mom Jane and Aunt Sue. Surround them with His Peace and Love.

Coop, I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Tam for over 2 years. I spoke with you on occasion via voice thru Tam. I spent many hours and days with her working on the club, hanging out, and talking about life. She loves you and those boys so much. She is watching over you, and will always be with you. Tama- You were a dear friend always. I will never forget our times together, and will cherish you in those memories. You and I became so close. We knew each others families, we knew each others day to day schedules, and built such a good friendship. Docadoozle will miss you. Tama where are ya shoes? Your forever in my memories.

If I am out of line here I apologize, I simply wish to send my deepest regards for the family of Tamara Cooper.
I knew Tamara as TL in a world called Second Life. It is a place I know she did love very much. TL was the first person in SL to give me a job... offered her help in learning the 'ropes' and was there when I needed to scream at a post.
TL is so loved and so deeply missed all over the world.. Vegas (me) Kansas Germany, Missouri, Puerto Rico, Colorado... and paces I don't even know of.
This beautiful woman was always there to lend what ever was needed, a free home to a homeless resident, a job to the jobless and a friend to the friendless, and a kick in the back side to the witless.. (me lol)
All of her SL family at Forsaken and at the H&W Club that she loved and owned .. we are all so lost without her. I thought you should know.. TL aka Tamara Cooper is loved all over the world.
At 6 pm California time today (11/23/09) we will all be gathering for her memorial at the Forsaken Souls sim to honor her life and to comfort each other in our pain.
To you her real life (RL) family and friends we wish to say, you are in the prayers of many more then you know every moment of everyday, and that your loved one is our loved one as well. She has made us all one. We love you and pray GOD's love and peace on you all, especially her children.
May your hearts and minds soon be comforted in te fact that she has moved on to a more beautiful world then we can imagine here and she is so happy there.
Aloha wau ia oe (I love you) TL

This is my thrid try to do an entry..
Tammy, I greeted you into this world, showering you and your mother with a dozen roses (the first your mom ever recieved). I nutured, and cared for you in your infancy, guiding you ..we spent many a happy days in my Mustang which you loved so much...and the Kit Kat bars..oh how much fun we had..we had our heartaches as any family does..actually God gave us much to bare in this world, much more than some, yet he his hand has always been upon us and pulling us through. I love you Tammy and I promise you I will make sure the babies are fine. You are now standing in the Presence of Jesus, and have learned that nothing can separate you from the love of God. Enjoy the company of his presence and all our ancestors and those of us that remain will guide your children. I love deep in my soul!

Tam, you were the mother in my life for the past 7 years, my fathers best friend and wife, and the mother of my two little brothers. You were my friend, the one who tought me your wisdom and were always there when I needed a shouldar to cry. You were always there when I needed to break news to my dad, and I couldn't do it alone. I know we didn't always see eye to eye, but we always seemed to get through it. Your grandbabies loved and adord you, and the miss you Mema. I love you always and will never forget whatyou have brought to my family. You lite up my fathers life and gave him a wonderful one, and I thank you for that. I love you, Tam.

Sue and family,
What a great loss we are all feeling right now. Tammy was a dear childhood friend, one of the first I met when we first moved to Troy when I was 4. We had many many good times together as children and adults which I will cherish. I will miss her deeply. My deepest sympathies to all of you...especially the boys.
Love you Tam.......

Dear Tammy,
I haven't seen you in years but have many wonderful and fond memories of you...the dance recitals, babysitting Kristen and Sean, hanging out with Megan, going to the movies on Saturdays, I could go on and on. Much love to your family. I will meet you again someday, old friend.

To my dearest and closest friend in the world, no matter how long it was between visits our friendship never changed. It was 14 years in May that we meet. We have been though everything under the sun together and MOST of it was a blast.You will be missed more than you could have ever imagined. I love you and miss you so much......

I don't think any of us can find the right words to describe Tam/TL or how much she meant to us, or even how we feel at the present.
To anyone who treated her decent, she was a good friend. She always brought an outlook on things to make them a little easier to digest. To me she was a lot of things. She was a friend, a teacher, a mentor. She guided me to a better path.
Just the 19th she gave me a chain letter, which was titled "GUARDIAN ANGELS". In it says that they are friends who come to your life for a time, helping you, and they may leave (one reason even listed like this). I instantly knew it was important (and usually wouldn't).
That day she also was telling me how proud she was of her children. I know even though she was tough, she loved them and wanted what is best for them. Don't ever let them forget that.
Best wishes to all her family and friends that were blessed to have had her in their lives. I know she will be missed by all of us. My thoughts/ prayers go out to all of you.

I come today to say my condolences to not only a Loving Family but to a family Tam so dearly loved. I have known her for over 2yrs and during that time she was always having fun. She was a very lively person and persistent also. She always wanted her own place on the net. Well for just over a year she has had just that, a club that alot of people have enjoyed. Tam kept it hop'n and rock'n.
Don, Chubs, Cody and rest of the family. Know that you all aren't alone in this time. So many wonderful people world wide that Tam has had the pleasure to meet over the years are with you as well. My Thoughts are with you all.
