Miss Tammy was a very special person in my life. She taught me preschool 11 years ago and I will always remember the encouragement she gave me to overcome obstacles that I faced.

I am praying for your family and hope that God's peace will be with each of you.

I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time for my family. My grandmother was a very special person and through her passing it is evident that she touched many lives throughout her own life. It will take time to heal the shock but as my sister stated "Granny" is now in heaven watching over all of us.
