To the Thompson Family, I am so sorry to hear about Tammy. I totally understand how you are feeling right now. Loosing my nephew in December was such a shock and still is a huge empty hole in my life. Tammy was one of a kind. No matter how long it had been since we had seen each other she always welcomed me with open arms and a huge smile. Friends since grade school it is really hard to see her go. Just know she is looking down on us with love. Sorry that I couldn't make the service and know I am thinking and praying for all of you.

Tammy, you have touched so many people's lives and are such a bright soul. Just know you will be missed and loved forever.

Your friend,

Angela Cardoza

May God bless the Engel and Thompson families and bring them understanding in their time of sorrow and grief. God must have needed his special angel to come home early. Though I only met her once, she was very sweet and pleasant to be around. She will be as important in Heaven as she was on earth.

i sit at this keyboard and try to think of something to write about my best friend for the last 7 years, there are simply too many memories and feelings to accomplish this, but i do know i will never in my life have another friend as special as Tammy. And i have never loved another woman that wasn't related to me as much as i do Tammy. I will miss her every single day of my life on earth.

The Thompson Family,

We may not have known Tammy for very long, but with an attitude like hers, it didn't take long to find out what a great person she is.. It is a great loss, to not be able to hear her laugh, but it will continue ringing in our ears, and I do not think anyone will ever be able to forget it. I think perhaps God needed to hear it for himself, everyone needs a good laugh, and we all know that Tammy was good for that.

Phyllis, Alvin, Pauline & Casey, our prayers are with you always, and do not ever hesitate to call..

Love you all,

Carrie Lopez (Enos)

Tammy, Through our marriage you were not only my wife but my best friend. You were there for the great times and cared for me in the bad ones. Although our marriage didn't last, our freindship did. You will be greatly missed and my condolences to your family. Your ex-husband, Michael Engel

Tammy, I've know you for over 20 years, eventhough we haven't hung out for awhile. We used to have so much fun together. Especially in high school, since we had the same last name it was hard to get away with things. I just found out about this today and I am having trouble sleeping. I'm justing laying around thinking of all the good times we had. I will miss you very much. My condolences go out to the entire family. Love always, Crystal Thomspon

Tammy,

You were a huge part of our family for 13 years. You will be terribly missed by all of us. We will never forget the marriage of Vince and Athena that you allowed in your backyard. You made that day and many others extra special with all your love and attention to detail.

Love,

The entire Engel Family

I am so fortunate to say that Tammy and I were friends. We shared many laughs together, all of which are flooding back into my mind during this sorrowful time. We also had many long talks about personal obstacles, talks that I know for myself, got me through really rough days, days that only Tammy could relate to. I will always remember Tammy for not only these times but for the crazy ones too. From the softball field to Vegas, she will always be someone whom my husband and I will never forget. I know she will continue to be part of all of our lives as she watches over us with wings from above.

A Friend

For this tragedy is forever wrong, but in my eyes you are not gone. You will live forever in my memories and in my heart, because a friend you were from the start.

I will see you once more in the beauty of this world, because you were a beautiful person and my girl.

I will see you in the morning dew, the sunshine and rainbows too.

I will see you in the night stars shining bright and the shadow on a full moon night.

I will see you in the glimmers in the snow and the flowers that bloom and grow.

I will see you in the beauty of this world, because you were a beautiful person and my girl.

So I will not weep because you are not gone, I will stay humble and stay strong.

You will live forever in my memories and in my heart, because a friend you were from the start.
