I got a notification today that someone wrote on your memorial page. It took me right back to the day we found out that you passed. It still hurts. 
Worlds is coming up once again, and we will cheer in the stands knowing that you will somehow be with us.
Tami, we love you and always will.


I hope you can " hear me" Tami! 
Oh my gosh!! Had no idea of your passing. Was checking friends on FB I hadn't seen posts from in awhile and discovered this! No clue what happened...I am just speechless. 

I think about our no planning, sudden late nigbt road trip to LA so long ago. I think we literally did a round trip in like 24 hours or something-just because.  Or stopping by your-Monga, was it??-restaurant and that day you won money on a lottery ticket and she was "mad" because you had bought her one at the same time. We had a lot of adventures my friend.  Condolences to your family! ❤️❤️

My sister, my first friend, 45 years was not long enough. We were supposed to grow old together and watch our children have children. I am so thankful for the time we did have. From being the annoying little sister to being the best friend. All of the good and the bad,  I wouldn’t change any of it. All the family gatherings, Monterey, Billy Joel, getting to be in each others weddings, you becoming an Aunt Ta, me becoming Aunt Cat, being the godmothers of each others children, many trips skating and personal, all so memorable.  Most of all, all of the love and support only a sister can give. I promise Amelia is in good hands and as always has lots of love and support. I will miss you everyday. Give Dad, Monga and everyone else big hugs for us. Fly high big sister, I love you. 

I was profoundly saddened to learn of the untimely passing of our beloved Tami Flanagan, who for many years was an invaluable member of  the staff of our International School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Fairleigh Dickinson University.                           Tami’s outgoing personality and innate sociability were infectious, and resonated with everyone she met. She had an indomitable spirit which was truly inspiring. The impact she had on our students, her fellow staff, and the faculty was truly notable and never ending.                        Her strengths and capabilities were many, and included: technology, marketing, event planning, volunteerism, fundraising,  graphic design, alumni relations, industry involvement,  and most of all, student development.                  She worked closely with scores of two year colleges, helping to transfer their graduates into our School. After enrolling them, she monitored their progress, helped them overcome hurdles, and ultimately,  facilitated their graduation. Her lasting legacy will be the overwhelming impact she had on all these students’ lives.  May you Rest In Peace, Tami,  and know you will never be forgotten. In closing, my thoughts and prayers  go out to your darling daughter, Amelia , and your entire extended family, as they attempt to deal with everything at this most difficult time. 


So very sad to hear about Tami. All our love to Amelia and your family. She was such a great Mom. Will miss all our talks and laughs about Ed. You are in our prayers and hearts. Love from New Jersey 

So sorry to hear about Tami. We're all in shock up here in New Jersey. We just heard about her passing. She's in heaven with Eddie now. So sad. 

I have been friends with  Tami for 30 + Years,from her, Freshman Year in High School. One thing with Tami .She was always there to  listen to someone.She always seemed to know if something was bothering me. She would say .What's Wrong Tim. She would always say. i know you very well. We kept in touch throughout the years and saw each other when we had a chance. Or  talk with each other  on the phone. 
When I received the call from Jill . I was in shock. when she told me that Tami Passed away. I still can't believe it's true. A few days prior to her passing . She sent me a message ,that she wish i was their .That she needed  a hug . I will never  know why.Because i was unable to call her back. I will always wonder what she wanted.

Tami,
I will always cherish the times we had.
 i will  miss you and Love you ,my dear friend.
An Angel taken from us way to soon.
My  Prayers and Heart goes out to her daughter.
Losing Both of her parents within months apart.
Life sometimes is not fair.

Love Ya ,
Tim Lane

Tami was my best friend of 38 years. She flew out several times to see me and my family in Florida.  One, was the day that my oldest granddaughter was born, with in two hours of my granddaughter being born she had Cassidy in arms. From, that day on Cassidy and Tami had a special loving bond. She was considered  Aunt Tami from day one to both my kids and grandkids. We all would go on trips together. I loved her as my sister and my family also loved her dearly  as well. She was a very loving  woman. She was the main person who really ever knew me inside and out. She was one of my inspirfamily. Mia was her world. She was a great mother, and friend. She will be missed dearly by my whole famliy. We are considering your family as part of our family.

Funny, friendly, generous , a wonderful friend and a great Mom to her sweet daughter.  I will miss you dear friend.

When I joined the Stars of Austin synchro team one year after my mom passed Tami quickly became an important part of my skating family, and a great source of support on and off the ice. She will always have a special place in my heart as one of my adopted skating moms.

As Cathryn’s best childhood friend, I grew up with Tami as a big sister. I never had a sister of my own, so having Tami around was so fun! She was always smiling and funny and so kind to me. The years and the miles have kept us apart, but when I would see her, nothing had changed. Her smile lit up a room and I felt her love immediately! I will truly miss her!! 

Tami  was a loving and generous person. She did her best to put everyone at ease and draw them in as her family.  She worried about everyone and would have solved everyone’s problems if she could. She loved her family dearly and her daughter Amelia was her heart.  I miss her so much, we were “Team Connie” for eight years. 
Rest now, Tami, your work is finished and new joy awaits you. We love you.   
Monique, Richard and family. 

The world lost an amazing person! The Tami I knew was always smiling and kind. She will forever be remembered and will definitely be missed!! This world needs more people like her!!

Tami became my friend the moment we met. She had a heart as big as the sky and she passed this beautiful trait on to her daughter. We spent many competitions cheering for our kids and all the members of the Stars of Austin Figure Skating Club.  Words cannot express how much Tami will be missed. We love you Tami!

The smile and way Tami would always greet me from the time I was a small kid to the time I grew up to be a big kid will always stay with me.  I can hear her call out "How ya doin there kiddo?" and always with a big 'ol grin. You were taken way too soon and will most definitely be missed!

Tami was my sister from another mother for the last twenty years.  There was nothing I ever asked of her that she didn’t do, including holding my dying mother’s hand until I could reach the hospital.   She also helped me take very gentle care of Mom before her death.  You can’t find that kind of loving friendship easily and with her passing, Tami takes a large piece of my heart with her.  But you know my sweet friend that we will all be here to love Amelia as you still do.  Sleep in peace my dearest friend.   Love Ruth
