Tamara was my sweet mom-in-law. The very first memory I have of her is from 18 years ago when we met for the first time. Chas & I went through the garage to get in the house, Tamara opened the laundry room door before we got to it. She said ***GASP*** "You are not a blonde!!!" Haha She was surprised to see that I did not have blond hair like most other girls that Chas dated had. :-) When she was in a better health, we (as a family) loved going to some of her favorite stores such as Big Lots, Weiner's (before they closed), etc. with her & Grandpaw. She would get excited every time she saw anything to do with ladybugs :-) She is missed but she will always be in our hearts & good memories.

Condolences to you and your family never knew your grandmother but im sure she was a wonderful person........may she now RIP

Yesterday I was crying, and Sammy said " mom why are you sad?" I told him I miss grandma. He said "mom I miss ganma (thats how he says it) too. But she ok, dont cry" It made me think of how much this affected not just me but my kids too. Just wanted to share because losing someone can affect everyone even our small children. Grandma loved all her grandchildren and great grandchildren and sammy being 3 even misses the times spent with her. We all love and miss her.

Tamara was an amazing woman. When my own family turned me away her whole family opened their arms to me. She always made me feel so welcome. She will be truly missed.

Grandma.... I'll miss hearing you say "I love you Sunshine." Keep the sun shining down on me esp on the days I'm going to need it. You always knew when to call just to say hi. I love and miss you so very much!!! I have a voicemail you sent me a while back and I listen to it when I need your voice.  Sunshine loves you!! We will see each other again!!! It's not goodbye it's a ill see you later.

I first met Tamara when I was 12 years old. I never called her Tamara because she immediately became like my own grandmother. Lunch after church with her family was always a good time. She was loving and kind but she had no problem chewing us (Salina and me) out and putting us in line. She was truly one of a kind and I will miss her for the rest of my life.

I love and miss Tamara so much, she was not only my cousin, she was my friend..

I didn't know her well but she welcome me & my girls into her home so they can go trick or treating. She was a good person. She will be missed.

She meant The world to me the 3 yrs I was her pastor

You were a wife, mom, grandma, great grandma and a friend to many. You were my grandmother and one of my best friends. You were always there for me, no matter what I did... Good or bad. Im going to miss you telling Sammy how much you love waking up to his beautiful face, even if he would wake you up, you were always so happy to see him. I miss sitting next to you watching our shows together while I was supposed to be cleaning. We always had eachother to cry, talk, and vent to. I miss you so much, and still feel I am going to wake up, and you will be there. I just wish my boys would have known you longer, but I do feel blessed they did get to spend time with you. Thank you for all the laughs, the lectures, and most of all, for always loving me. You will be missed very much. I love you Grandma
