    A beautiful Lady with a beautiful soul. She will be missed for many years by so many friends she touched on life’s journey. We all know where she is and if she could speak only for a moment she would continue to share her loving soul as she did for so long even while fighting her battle. See you soon friend.

    This makes me so sad. Tammie fought so hard. I am thankful to know she is no longer in pain and has joined her son and parents.
