"I didn't know Tamara but was notified of her passing via a Meetup group I belong to. She looks like a wonderful woman and it's so sad this disease takes women in their prime. My deepest sympathies to her family. I can't imagine the loss they must be feeling. Praying for you this holiday season."

"Lynette - thank you so much for introducing me to Tamara - I have been enriched to have known her - she was an amazing inspiration - I never met anyone who handled her illness with such grace and dignity and the determination to not let it get the better of her. It never did - she was a radiant soul and source of joy who lived life to the very fullest to the very end. Bless her soul - and to her family, children especially, nothing can replace this devastating loss but I hope you can find some little comfort in knowing what a gift your mom was not only to you but to everyone who was lucky enough to know her."

"We met briefly before she moved west. She was dressed as a geisha at the nursing home for Japanese week. What a glow and radiantly full of love. Always with a smile and open arms. A gift to have met and shared time in this lifetime."
