I was deeply honored to be a part of Tammy's team the past few months. We only knew each other for a short time but she treated me with the love and respect of a close friend or sister, that's the kind of woman she is.
My very deepest love and well wishes go out to her family and to Derrick. Tammy will forever be in my heart.

Very sad to hear the loss of Tammy. I went to Jr. High and High school with Tammy, her sister Wendy and Jerry Hurley in Kerman. We were all in the band together. My prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
God Bless
