Tammy was more than a sister to me. Tammy was my friend, my confidant, my mentor, and my hero. Tammy taught so many things in life. Like how to stand up for myself, to believe in myself, and to be a better person. Tammy was the strongest person I know. I always knew that if I ever needed someone, Tammy was always in my corner and had my back. I feel completely lost and alone now, and I am not sure at this point what path my life will take now. My life's road that once seemed so full and complete, now stretches out before me as long, lonely, desolate road that stretches beyond the horizon. We were suppose to grow old together, but now I will grow old (hopefully) without her by my side. I know that Tammy had asked us all not to mourn for her when she was gone, but I don't think she realized just how much she meant to us all. I believe the harder we grieve, the more that person meant to us. I know one day I will see Tammy again, but in some ways, that time so very long from now. I hope that Tammy is looking down at us all with love and understanding of just how much she is missed. When I was a little girl, I always looked up to Tammy, and wanted to be just like her. She was my idol, and I knew that as long as Tammy was around, I'd be ok. When I was little, she used to come into my room late at night, and chased away my nightmares for me. Telling me I'd be all right......Now who's going to chase away my nightmares?

I love you Tammy. I will forever miss you and long to see you again. Until we meet again.......

We had so many fun, awesome and crazy times together! Beginning when we were playing in the yard as kids. Rhomping the neighborhood.Climbing trees, hanging out in the tree house, the tunnel, up at the rope swing on Oddysey hill.Roller skating in Farmers parking lot, at skateland and everywhere else.Riding bikes up at the hill, and to Pic N Save, and Gemco, and Newberry's Mcdonalds hiding in the camper and behind the banana trees during hide n seek..........
