So very sorry to hear the bad news today. 
I first met Tammy when she was dating Noel on my boat in Dillon , Co, celebrating a birthday on the lake that day. 
She was a terrific lady. She always took extra care of us when dining at strings all those years ago. 
My deepest condolences !
Chris Merritt
 

I Love & Understand You Forever, Tamara.  You have helped me more than You will ever know (in THIS life).  XO Melinda Miller (-Johnson)

You were a beautiful inside and out soul.
I was blessed beyond words to have had you and Noel in my life.  I am forever grateful to have known you and had many beautiful memories I will always cherish. Love you and will miss your gorgeous face. Xoxo Robbyn 
P.S. Give Noel a kiss for me ❤️

Tammy,
I will miss you my friend, what a beautiful angel heaven has received. 
Condolences to the family. 

How blessed I was to know both you and Noel. You both taught me how to love and really care about someone else. May you both be at peace with your son, Tony.  I’m counting on you!  RIP Tammy

I had the privilege of interviewing Tammy several months ago for a film on spirituality and oneness. When we sat down for the interview Tammy shared with me that she had just been told that she might have only a short time to live. I was taken by her positive and upbeat attitude, clearly the hallmark of how she lived her life. She was  an inspiration to me.  She will continue to be a role model for appreciation and gratitude.  Our brief time together is etched in my conscience for ever . This is the true mark of greatness. 

I have so many beautiful and fun memories of Tammy. I am so grateful our paths crossed nearly 20 years ago when I worked at KMGH-TV and was asked to MC Quarters for Kids at Strings restaurant. What began as a professional connection quickly grew personal. Tammy was a life coach and spiritual guide who taught me the importance of allowing love and appreciation to direct my life. We worked together on countless charities for the Cunningham Foundation: the Hope bracelets, Quarters for Kids, and that fun knitting calendar. I can still hear Tammy's giggle and feel her gentle yet powerful touch when I was on her table and she cleared my energy. Thank you for sharing this beautiful soul with the world! I will miss you Tammy but am so grateful you are at peace and with your loving family. Love you!!! 

Oh, Honeybun.

I miss you terribly.  I will always see your face, beautiful smile, twinkling eyes and amazing spirit.  You were always kissed by God and it showed. 

We shared so deeply our most private thoughts, concerns and feelings.  When you had pain I could feel it.  I’m so relieved that you are no longer suffering.  I would have done anything in my power to take away your misery.  The best I could do was be there for you and have our bed chats when you weren’t able to get up anymore.  

I’ll never forget our girls’ nights, our trips to Mexico and our shopping trips. You were an excellent best friend.  I love you dearly!  I’m so glad you are with God and Little Tony.  

For now my Sweet,
t.

I never knew our birthdays were only 11 days apart, same year. Tammy was beautiful inside and out. Hands down the most selfless, generous, loving and kind person I’ve ever met. She was instrumental in bringing spiritual gifts into my life that have had a profound influence on me and others. I see her smile and hear her laughter as she explains her joy in heaven and how she is now unlimited by the body.  Peace and love to all her family and friends. And much love from my heart to her who gave so much of hers.

When I think of Tammy I will always remember her smile and genuine concern for everyone she knew.  I met Tammy when I was going through a difficult time and she helped heal my body and spirit.  She was a gifted healer and insightful friend.  She was always so generous to open her home and heart to me.  I will miss her and know God has a special place for her in heaven.  Enjoy your wings Tammy.  

I was lucky enough to have Tammy and Noel as mentors to me when I was 17. They took me to Ethiopia with them and changed my life. Tammy and Noel both relentlessly told me I could do anything I wanted but that whatever I do should be in service to others. Today I am in my sixth year of teaching middle school.  I would not be where I am today if not for their mentorship during my most formative years. They poured so much love into the whole Denver and Ethiopian community. I will continue to pass on the values they instilled in me to my students. I hope Tammy is having a sweet reunion with Tony and Noel in Heaven. Sending big love and much condolences to her family and others who were rouched by her beautiful soul. May a piece of her live on in each of us.

I used to live in Colorado and visited there early summer 2019. I sat with Tammy, while she was getting one of her treatments. We talked about everything under and beyond the sky.

I met Tammy in a holistic horsemanship class in 2011. It was brutally hot outside, we were sitting and waiting for our turns. She told us " Let's get some breeze going here." 
We succeeded and have been friends since. 

Since then we rode horses together, we worked on each other and each other's dogs and horses. I attended a painting class she hosted at Strings. I attended the Shamanic practicioner training offered by her. We visited each other homes and had breakfast or lunch together.
She knew so many people, and made each of us feel like her best friend. 

I miss Tammy terribly, simultaneously she lives in and with me through her spirit and her teachings. 



I met here at a healing class, from there i joined her and Noel with the trip to Peru.
We rode Paso Fino horses in Peru. We had to pass a riding test and we did.
My friends from Arizona, Kansas and California traveled  to meet her and take her classes. They were so much fun. We bought her jewelry to wear and blessed in so many ways.
We all miss her.
Blessings!

Tammy, I am a better person for having known you!!! you have taught me so much and I will forever be grateful! Fly  High My  Beautiful Angel. You will forever be in my heart!!!


Tammy you continue to be an ANGEL

Rest Sweet Beauty

You were such a gentle soul, always wanting to heal others. I know you are healed now and with the ones you love and yearned for such a long time.  You’ll always be with us and much loved. So long for now sweet Tammy.

Tammy and  Noel  took my daughter Hilary to Ethiopia to deliver books and a donated refrigerator from my brother-in-law. That trip changed my daughter's life and mine too! We don't have to starve in the United States and have books to read!I also was on a bike on a trip to the zoo and stopped to see Tammy at Strings restaurant. I gave her a bottle of Gatorade from my backpack. She acted like I gave her gold.  I would like to add a famous quote, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." And the name Tammy means "Perfection." Blessings to all!
