She was the best teacher I ever had and I hate that she had to leave this world but god had a plan and he needed her to come with him to finish that plan.

I had never met Tamara but she was loved by my sister-in-law and so I knew Tamara was good people. She always had the funniest things posted on FB and I know her co-workers loved her, the parents loved and the students loved her. She made a big impact on so many from what I have heard. I wish I had been able to meet you in person and not just your FB buddy. Rest in Peace. My prayers go out to Tamara's family. I wish I could take away your pain. I pray that God will wrap you in his arms for comfort and support.
