Tributes
"Tammy, you meant so much to so many people. You will leave a giant hole in so many hearts but we know we will see you again one day in Heaven. I can honestly say I don\'t think I have ever prayed so much for anyone or anything. You had so many prayer warriors praying for your recovery but God had other plans for you. You leave behind many people who will miss you so much. It\'s wonderful seeing everyone pull together and support each other though. I cherish the memories I have from when you came to visit. I think Steve recorded every minute of it and put all the clips on CD\'s. I laugh when I think about you floating around in the lake on an air mattress that wouldn\'t hold air. It kept getting smaller and smaller until there was nothing left. I thank you mostly for the patience and loving care you showed when caring of my Mom. I will forever be in your debt. Rest easy Tammy, you earned it. Love from your sister in law. Carol "
"Mayci and I were sitting here talking about how she was feeling about her name passing away, she started to cry and said I will never get to see her again so I told her that mama will be watching over you and will always protect you. So then she starts looking up to the sky, saying nana I love you and I hope you are doing good up there. I pray that God wraps his arms around her family and gives them peace and helps them heal"
"To many memories to put just one. Never mattered how long we went without talking we would pick up right where we left off. You were one amazing woman and the world is darker without you here. I?ll love you and your family forever. "
