What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but
little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Love Antoine & Avis

MY PRECIOUS BIG SISTER:
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU
JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY.
YOU BROUGHT JOY TO THOSE AROUND YOU, FROM DAWN TO THE SETTING OF DAY!
YOU LIVED TO DO FOR OTHERS
TO HELP IN EVERY WAY!
MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH SORROW
TO KNOW I WON'T SEE YOU TOMORROW.
YET I REJOICE BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT IT IS WITH HIM THAT YOU GO
AND EVEN THOUGH NOW IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR, ONE DAY WE WILL MEET AGAIN IN
THE AIR.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER

Ms Tammie was such a delight whenever I was blessed to be in her presence. I'm praying for the family, I'm sure it's a huge loss - one that probably doesn't even seem real. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. If it can add any condolence, please rest assured "to be absent with the body IS to be one with the Lord." There's no more pain or discomfort where she is, and though she'll be missed here, she will rest well in paradise.
Sending our love, The Goings'

Myown,
I want you to know how much your mom will be truely missed! She was one of the most beautiful people that I have ever had the opportunity to know! I loved her as a sister.
Be brave and continue to grow in your life with your young family just as she always wanted for you. She loved you more than any words could ever describe!
A poem:
If a soul could become a star in the sky, Tammie has become one of the few.
Her loving light will always shine in the person that is you!
Look to the sky and pick her out, and always know without a doubt,
Its shinning so nice just for you,
and will shine forever for all to view.
It will be brighter than the brightest as it lingers out there,
It shines for you with the most brilliant of flare!
Continue to shine, our new Tammie star,
we miss you, we love you, we know just where you are...
Love-U-4-Ever,
Carla

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

When God wants to equip us, To play some vital part, He shocks us with sharp blows, and pounds upon our heart with skill he sharpes our minds, Like clay which potters mold, with love he hammer us. Like craftsmen sharping gold. God sometimes breaks our hearts, to let his glory out. Then question not his love. He knows what he's about. May God bless each one of you in your time of bereavement.
