I heard about Tam's passing just yesterday and I am sad that I could not say goodbye. She was a funny warm person that I enjoyed working with for years. Hard for me to believe she really is gone. I feel still stunned over the news. Deepest sympathy and prayers go out to her family. She was a kind warm person that I always will remember.

I am truly saddened by my friends passing. In reading what others have said here on this Guestbook every word is true. I first met Tam when she trained me to take over her job at CSIS. She was an amazing person with tremendous knowledge and a heart of Gold. I am so sorry to just today hear of your passing. Sending my heartfelt condolences to family members. RIH Tam you will be missed by everyone.

Tamara taught me so much in so little time...She was my best friend, confidant, and like a mother Hen who protected all who she loved. I will miss her laugh, intelligence, and her fabulous jewelry that she made and her collections of precious stones yet to be set. She was so full of life and did not realize she was in her last days with all of us. The one treasure that she recently taught me was to save and how to save and to leave it alone and forget it...A Rainy day fund and now its raining tears of love and regrets to not have said goodbye to my BFF...So hurt and lost without my Tam
