I had the privilege of knowing Tamara from elementary school through high school and was lucky enough to see her occasionally after that as well. Every time I saw her, she had a kind comment or something nice to say. She was friendly, easygoing, and always carried a warm smile. She loved her boys deeply and had a gentle spirit that made everyone around her feel special. I will always remember her kindness and the gentle happiness she shared with everyone. I am very sorry for your loss.
