I always wanted to meet Michael but never got the opportunity. He wanted to visit Nashville to try the BBQ, so I sent some Perfect Pig ribs home with Tammy. She said he loved it! Tammy spoke lovingly about him when she was my manager. She worried about him climbing poles to fix electric outages or shoveling snow to get the car out. She shared many stories of their exciting trips together. She loved him with all her heart. My heart is broken for her and his family. Love you Tammy!
