We met working at Woolworths back in the late 80´s and hit it off right away. We´ve been friends ever since. We didn´t talk often, but when we did it was as if we hadn´t been apart for a minute, let alone the number of years that had passed. You were always there for me and for both of my boys. I am going to miss you so very much Tammy. Save a spot for me. I love you
