So sorry for your loss. I knew Tamm and Ruth at Allay where my mom resides also. I was so fortunate to know both of them and meet Ryan more recently. Yes, Tamm was a very kind and loving person. I loved her even though I only have known her for a couple years. She had a great personality and I also loved her dog who recently passed too. I'm here for you Ryan if you need anything.

I am sorry to hear Tamm has passed away. I knew her from Allay's Facility where my mom Mary Jo lived with Ruth for a long time. I enjoyed talking with her about anything and loving on her sweet dog. She had a big heart full of laughter and love. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
