I'm truly feeling devastated today... 💔  My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are going out to my Ohio family as you share precious memories and say goodbye to our Tammy, my dear niece, today. I am so very glad that I was able to go visit with Tammy and family 2 years ago, and that she got to attend Jamie’s recent wedding, as well as enjoying time with her grandson, Jeremy, Becky’s little boy. Tammy was definitely courageous and inspiring throughout her entire battle with cancer. Having gone through this very same situation with my own daughter only 8 years ago, my mind is totally overwhelmed with grief. I will always remember Tammy’s smile and contagious laugh! Tammy will be genuinely missed by all that knew her, and especially by me.

I have many memories of visiting my cousins while growing up in SE Ohio. We were all close in age and no matter how much time passed between our visits, we were always close, as if we were all siblings. Tammy was the sweetest and nicest young girl who always had a smile and a laugh that would warm the room. She loved and was loved by her brothers, her father, and her mother. And especially her little sister Beth, who Tammy cared for very deeply. I will always remember Tammy as the most loving and unselfish example of maturity that we all should strive to become. To have known Tammy and been a part of her life will always have a special place in my heart. I miss her. 

I will always remember her as a very sweet and genuine person. May God give comfort to all of her grieving loved ones.
