I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing Tamara, but I have immense respect for all the recognition she brought to Dan Fogelberg´s music and talent and her work on his memorial in Peoria. I´m an administrator of one of 3 groups that I know of who appreciate everything she´s done to keep Dans Legacy alive! RIP dear Tamara, you´re now dancing and singing with Dan and the Angels.
