See Condolences

I can't believe it's been three years, even longer since you and I last spoke. We were inseparable in college, cheering each other on when nights got long and boys got stupid. Then came our weddings where we stood next to each other as we dedicated our lives to the men we loved at the time. Girl, the things you've done for others - always there, always smiling, always ready with a big hug. I'll never forget the way your bright smile lightened my heavy heart. I only hope I did even half of the same for you. Enjoy heaven, I'll see you when I get there.

My heart aches for you & your family. It sounds as if your wife was a beautiful soul.. May God heal your sorrow and mend your broken heat. I'm from Pittsburgh, but very close to you in age. God Bless

Sorry for your lost.

Im watching the trail, im so incredible sorry for your loss and trauma to your family.

My most deepest condolences to David and his family. My family has been praying for your family in this time of mourning. May God grant eternal rest upon her and may the perpetual light shine upon her.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My thoughts and prayers

Tamara had just joined my red hat chapter (Cherry Bombshells) earlier this year but her schedule was so full that she never attended any of our events. We are sad that we never got to meet this wonderful, caring woman.

Gods love ❤️

I was so saddened by the senseless loss of one of the bubbliest people I've ever known. I had the privilege of teaching with Tammy, as she would often dance or bounce past my classroom throughout the day on her way to and from the office or while walking her students to the gym. I say "dance or bounce" because that's how she walked; she never sauntered, always on the go. While she passed away doing something she loved, her loss will be felt in the world. My sympathy to her family and friends.

I’m so sorry - may God take care of you. Rest in Peace. Sanju, Chicago

David, sorrow and grief for your loss is simply beyond words. Tammy was a bright light too soon and too tragically taken from the bounds of this world. May there be some solace in knowing that her light now shines bright and beautiful across horizons known and unknown, forever in your heart, in the hearts of your children, and in the hearts of the entire BVM family. Let us all go forward, reflecting her light and love out into a world that so needs it. Yol Bolsun!

My families sincere condolences to her family, and friends. Dance with the Angels!

So sorry for your loss. Prayers and hug to your family ❤️

Tammy and I taught our first year of kindergarten together. I will always remember all her energy and beautiful smile. She had a big heart and gave so much of it to others. You will be greatly missed.

Hello, I read Tamara's obituary on Fox News and I am very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful lady. I am in New Jersey and our family was sickened by this event. May God bring you peace and love during this very difficult time for your family.

Prayers to you all for healing and peace and for the repose of Tammy's soul. I am sorry that I cannot be there to offer my condolences in person.
