I just recently heard of Tassie’s passing. We were very close friends in her early working career at STIHL.

I fondly remember her as one the most caring people I have known. Her presence always lit up the room. I always felt very fortunate to have known her. It deeply saddens me to hear of her passing.

Tassie was the kindest woman I have ever known. She would give her last dime to a stranger or even someone who had proven themselves unworthy of her caring nature. If they needed it and she had it, it was theirs. She taught me that these personal belongings we have are "just stuff". There are more important things in life. She loved her mom, her sister,  her niece and friends dearly and that was what was important in life. She taught me more than she will ever know. My only regret is not meeting her sooner as I would have liked to have known her longer and better. Tass, give your dad and Joey a big hug for me..and save me a place so when it's time, I can see you again. You are one of the top ten people who have had a positive influence in my life. Thank you for letting me in. You have been and will always be in my heart.
     Love,your bug buddy, Kim

Heartfelt condolences to Peg, Dilys and Katie. Tass was as sweet as the day is long. She always went out of her way to get along with everyone.My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Tass, we will miss you.

I had the pleasure of working with Tassie at Norfolk Assembly. She as a wonderful lady who was kind to all.  God Bless and may she rest in peace.
