Dear little sis, Well this is probably going to be my last entry in your guest book. It is about to go offline. I will miss writing in it as I am hoping you can read these letters. I miss you so so much Tam. Mom just found another picture of me and you with Erica and Chris when they were babies. Omg that was 24 years ago. Getting old here for sure. But I love seeing pictures of us together it makes me feel good. I so wish we could go back to those times of us just being together and growing up together. So much has changed since you have been gone. I so wish you were here it kills me everyday Tam. We had so much more to do together as sisters life is so not fair. I am somewhat trying to go on with my life without you in it. Totally not the same at all and feel very alone at times without you. There is so much I need to tell my baby sister and then the realization of not being able to just pick up the phone and talk to you becomes too real. I am trying to change things in my life to help me keep moving forward. But let me tell you not easy at all as you know I dont like change that much. I even changed my shift at work after 14 years on the same shift. I have to let go of you and I am not sure how to do that. I will never forget our lifes together I will always have our memories we shared together. But I have to let go of all this anger I have about the whole situation. I have to quit trying to fix everything that I cannot fix. Nothing I do will bring you back to me so I need to just chill out and relax and try and go on in my life. I can so hear you telling me stop this and please be happy. But you know me stubborn me cant just do that without trying everything first. Thats what gets me so stressed out and I need to let all that part go. Oh Tam I am going to miss not having this book online its like I am letting go of another piece of you. But at the same time I need to realize it is not you its just a book. Well sis I guess this is it for a while until I find somewhere else to write I love you so so much and miss you every single minute.

love you
your big sis

Dear Sis, Its been awhile since I have been on here. I have your little one she is not so little anymore. Wow is she a tough one just like you were. She is so much like you Tam she is beautiful and smart. I will make sure she goes far in life in your honor sis. We are trying so hard to go on without you but it is not easy. I miss you so so much you have no idea. I try to just remember the good times but it is hard when everything else keeps racing through my mind. I love you so much and it just really hurts not having you around anymore. I love you sweet baby sister.

Well Tam I guess I am the only one writing in your guest book right now. I do not want this to go away its like losing another piece of you. This has been a nightmare and I cant seem to wake up. This brings me a little peace being able to write in it. I also want your kids to have a place to come to when they want to. I am not sure how I am going to keep it online but I will find away. I love you little sis.

Hey little sis Thinking about you all the time. I miss you so so much. I had to clean moms garage without you. I remember when we did it together and would laugh and joke and have a good time doing it. I sent you a pink balloon hope you got it. I love you so much and miss you so so much life is just not the same without you in it. The kids are growing up so fast. Really wish you were her to see it you would be proud. Yes some of the kids havent quite grown up yet and they will definetally be the ones giving me the rest of my gray hair thats for sure but they will be okay they just have to go through this teenage stuff like we did. The other ones made it through it and we never thought they would so I have confidence they will make it through also. Havent quite figured out how to move on in this world without you but I am really trying hard Tam. I will never forget you and the love and memories we shared but I know this is just what they call life and I have to make it through this hard time. Just wish we were old together thats for sure. We had so much more to do Tam its so not fair.

Love you
your big sis

Hey little Sis,
Well It will be one year that you were taken away from us. I am having a very hard time with all of this. I really really need you to be here with me. I drive the same way to work everyday well the days I do go to work anyways and I have been fine going that way its on the way to moms house. But the last 4 days going that way has really brought back the day this happened to you and all the feelings are hitting me like a brick. I am going to have to go a different way to moms and work from now on. It never bothered me until the other day and oh my god what the heck. I will never forget anything about that day or what was said it still makes me cry when I talk about it. I just remember all the pandimodium that was going on talking on the phone to your daughter trying to make sense out of any of it and telling her to calm down I will find out what is going on. And then having to tell mom. This should of never been. I know I am the oldest but this should of never never been. I miss you so much you could never imagine how much I miss you. I love you so much Tammy I just wish things would have been alot different. People say I am stronger than I think I am. Well they are not in my head or walking in my shoes. I know I have to go on but I am numb most of the time. I do not no which way to go. I miss you so much little sis I am trying very hard to just try and go on every day.
love you
your big sis

Dear Tammy,
Well it has been 11 months today that you were taken away from us. I have my good days and bad days. I think I am okay and then I come crashing down. I will never be over this. I just want to pick up the phone and talk to you so so bad sis. I miss you so much. I am in a rutt now I cannot get myself to go to work. I work very little now I have no motivation. All I want is you to be here little sis. This was so not suppose to happen to you my little girl. I am so so sorry for not protecting you. I really need to snap out of this. nothing I do will bring you back. There are days I get really mad at you for leaving me behind. Then I realize that that is stupid you didnt want to leave me or anyone else for that matter but I am so lost without you. People dont understand they think I should be over this. Over this I will never be over losing the best part of me ever. We may have had our fights but you were still my little sister and we were there for each other no matter what. Oh how I wish I could turn the clock around and make things so much different. I think the material things will help me somewhat be happy but none of it matters to me anymore I dont care about the material things anymore I just want you back I would give up everything just to have you back. I want to do something in your honor I keep coming up with things to do and then realize that isnt what I want yet. I am thinking about maybe publishing your poems we should of done that Tam. I should of really helped you do that I know how much you wanted to but I was too selfish to really help you. Okay see this is where I need to snap the heck out of this. I know you would want me to be happy and continue living my life but how can I Tam. This road they call life is so so hard without you. Oh Tam why cant I just wake up from this nightmare and just talk to you. I love you little sis.
your big sis

Dear Tammy,
I know you are so proud of me I had your back the whole way through and my detective work has paid off, people were thinking I was obssesing and losing it. Well I had to find out the truth. I had to get some kindof justice for you little girl. You know I would not stop at anything to make sure everything was found out about what happened. I love you so much and miss you so much my job is done. I have let go of the anger in my heart and can feel you again. you never left my heart but I could not feel you anymore and now I can. I can live again I can celebrate your life now. No it will never be the same and I will always miss you but I can go on with my life and will always keep your memory alive. I will always watch over your children you can count on that. I so wish you were hear with us, but it will be okay we will all be okay. You can RIP now little girl knowing your sister has your back and always did. And The truth came out. Love you and will always love you.

Just wish you were hear with me I miss you so much Tam. Omaha will not be the same without you there. I am going to make sure I give you babies some lovin. and make sure they know they are loved.

Dear Tam,
I so so wish you were here I could really use your ear right now. I am doing some really cool things that I know you would be proud of me. I miss your pep talks and everything about you sis. you are so so missed its very hard to be happy without you in my life anymore you will always be in my heart but it hurts so bad all the time without you hear. Life just doesnt seem to matter that much anymore. you are not here to share it with me anymore. This life seems all too sencelss at times. we live we die thats what its basically all about. and it is so sad that it has to be this way. I really wanted you to just be happy and live our lifes together and get freaking old together. Life truly isnt fair and I hate this. I miss you so so much Tam you will never know how much. A big part of who I am is missing and I cant get it back. I am trying to start to live again and try and be happy but then the guilt of being happy without you hear comes on me and all I really really want in this life is to have you back in it with me. I love you and miss you so much.
your big sis.

Tammy its been 6 months this is now my 3rd entry in the last 4 days do not understand why it is not going threw. but her I go again, I miss you so much sis, I cant stop thinking about you for one minute, I am having a hard time dealing with this. I just dont get it or understand why you had to leave us so soon. You were younger than me you were not suppose to die first young lady. All I know is that wonderful people in my life are dying all around me and it is too much to handle, if there is a heaven than I have sent you some good people for you Tam. I am trying so hard just to move forward but how can I possibly do that without you my best friend and little sis. you are the only one that truely knew who I was. Our sister bond was so great that know one really understands. We definetally had our share of fights for sure but my door was always open and you used it alot, just wish you would of used it one more time Tam. I always took care of my little sis. didnt agree with you alot but thats what life is about. I miss talking to you every sunday on the way to work you would always make my day to start out with a happy one just hearing your voice. I wish I would of visited you more often but mom made sure we saw each other at least 2 times a year and I thank her for that, she is an awesome mom she loved us both so much Tam. I will never forget coming to see you for 2 weeks when I came to make sure my son was good. Remember changing my sons apt around that was fun. We were like 2 little kids he didnt like it but we had fun doing it. We would go thrift store shopping for stuff for his place and go eat our 10.00 breakfast in the morning when he was at work. Had a great time it was like we were living in the same town again. I so miss you coming out here and visiting with me and mom and my kids they miss you so much too Tam. you were a very cool aunt. would always tell them straight up what you thought they loved that about you. Just wish you would of told me what really was going on. I understand why you didnt but none of this would of happened if you would of told me. I am so sorry for not protecting you my little sis, I should have been there. I love you now and forever and will keep your memory alive forever. you are truly missed by all that knew you Tam you had more people that loved you than you realized. love you little sis

It has now been 6 long months without you sis. I miss you so much, more than you can ever imagine. I am trying so hard to go on and try and be happy without you in my life anymore but I cant do it Tam its too hard I miss you so so much. I wish things would of been different so badly. I keep remembering when I came out there for 2 weeks a couple of years ago and we had such a good time even though it was like below zero. We changed Christophers apt. around remember how mad he was. that was fun. we went to breakfast every morning just as if I lived by you again, we had a good time when you came out for moms bday in dec. who would of thought it would of been the last time I would ever see you again. If I would of known that never would of let you go back. We went shopping and bought us some nikes. only could do that without the kids thats for sure. first pair of tennis shoes I have had in 3 years. I miss talking to you every sunday and during the week sometimes. I am so sorry I did not answer your calls on sunday night and monday. mom even told me you were trying to get ahold of me on monday something about your phone. should of answered it. I am so so sorry sis. maybe you were trying to reach out to me I will never know now. Tammy I will try hard to live a happy life but it is definetally not going to be easy without you in it. you were my best friend my little sis. even though you grew taller than me. and could always whip my butt. I will miss your perfect smile your laugh. everything about you Tam. There is so much I need to tell you and I cant. I hate this so much. I will never forget you sis,I will keep your memories alive for sure you can count on that.

Well Tam its been 6 months today that we lost you. This has been nothing but a total nightmare I am having the hardest time in my life without you here. I miss you so much its hard to breathe sometimes. The trial is coming up soon and you know I will be there every step of the way. I am just trying to calm mom down so she isnt so upset. This is killing her Tam. you were her baby. and as we always use to say until I moved out here and ended up having an awesome relationship with her you were always her favorite and her little baby girl. I use to always be jeolous of you and moms relationship. but as I grew up it all worked out. you had moms height moms shoe size. you always looked like mom I unfortuanatelly looked alot like dad growing up. thank goodness I am looking more like mom now. We all looked like sisters when we got older. I know that made mom feel good. Both her kids looking like her finally. I would give anything to have you back with us. I miss you every single moment. my biggest regret is not having you move out here with me and mom. I wish I could have talked you into moving out here so we could be together more. but I understood you didnt like this town. but it would have been so much better and none of this would have happened. Should of made you come out here. I am so glad we had spent 2 weeks together a few years ago when I came out there in the freezing cold whether. we had an awesome time together. The funniest thing was changing Christophers apt. around he didnt like it but it was ok. We ate breakfast every morning when he went to work. We really had a good time. I will cherish those times we had together and will forever miss them.I love you sis.

Mom,
For many years I was upset with you, not even knowing who you or my brothers and sisters were. Growing up anytime that I got in trouble my dad would say your acting like your mother and I would get so mad, because at that time I didn't know you, After meeting you and my brothers and sisters I finally understood what my dad has been talking about all those years. I am so glad that I got a chance to spend sometime with you and finally meet my family! I just wish you were here to enjoy it as well. David spent sometime at my house, (never thought that would happen) but as we spent time together we talked about you and life, and David realized how much you and I are actually alike, and how you tried to reunite everyone. Well I try to stay in contact with everyone but I can never seem to keep a phone on long enough. (sound Familiar) Anyway I just have been thinking about you, along with everyone, hopeing Jan is doing good! I know how proud you were of her, I miss those letters and updates on everyone, so until we meet again I do love you and you are missed everyday!

Dear Aunt Jan and Cousin Marcy,

Brother John and I cannot tell you how sad we are for you in losing Tammy. We remember her so well as children and were so close in age. Mom spoke with us both at Easter and we remembered the good times we had on Holidays at our house. Marcy and Tammy were the only cousins who ever came to our house and we didn't know we had any other cousins. So, they were very special to us. John said Tammy was his age and he was deeply affected. I too, just can't believe it yet. But we both want you to know that we remember her as witty and fun and always wished we lived closer and became closer as adults. Right now though, we love you and want you to realize our thoughts and prayers are for you and Marcy and how sorry we are this had to happen. Do know God will take good care of her. All our Love Pam and John.

Dearest Jan,
I am certain I do not have the right words to ease your pain. I know if my Mother, your dear friend, was here she would see you through this in her own way - as only true friends can do. I wish I could reciprocate how much you helped us when my Mom passed. Please find peace - with much love and respect - Jennifer Reeves (Cathy's daughter)

To Tammy's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Having to deal with death is very hard. Having to deal with this death is just wrong. There are to many wrongs in this world and this is one of the worst. If there is anything that I could do to help, please know that I am there for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jan,
I tried to compose a personal note that might in some way offer you and your family a little comfort, but I couldn't think of the right words. Maybe there are no right words so soon after such a horrible tragedy, but I have always believed in the saying that "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." I am sure Tamatha left you all wonderful memories to cherish forever.

You are in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers.

This is killing me sis I am so so so sorry for not protecting you I wish I would of been there. I will always be crushed by this I know I have to continue on for our mom and your children and my kids but this is so so hard Tam. You were definetally your own person you never let anyone tell you what to do or cared what other people wanted you to do. I wish I was more like you at times baby girl. People say this gets easier as time goes by I dont see how I lost the best thing I have ever had and I never fully appreciated you for who you were. We had our fights too many for sure but I am so glad we made peace with it and became close again the last 4 years. We were suppose to take care of mom when she gets old what the heck I have to do it all by myself I know you are laughing at me now. not funny though Tam really not funny. Please let this all be a nightmare and call me now I want to Wake up so bad I cant deal with this Tam. This was not suppose to happen. I cant say goodbye because I dont want to I want you to be here with me right now talking and laughing with me. I love you baby sis please just call me very soon I need you. I love you sis.

So very tragic! Tamatha is now an Angel looking down upon you!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
