Theresa,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Stay strong.

My deepest condolences to you and your family Theresa. I pray that you and your family finds the strength to get through these dark days. May Tamara rest in peace.

Tamara and I were colleagues at St. Mary's.  We became friends because we shared a love of cats.  Due to the fact that we lived near each other, Tamara would often offer me a ride to or from school.  If we were on the trip home and the mood was right, we would swing by and get her sister, Terry, and head off to Swiss Chalet for chicken and laughter. When we attended Parents' Nights at school, another east end colleague, Wynn Ann, would join the trio and under the dome of silence of the car, we would share stories and secrets.  Together Tamara and I visited many funeral parlours throughout the city whenever our colleagues lost loved ones.  It is ironic that today is the last time that we will be in a funeral parlour together. In the years that I knew her, Tamara always demonstrated a strong devotion to her faith.  She was conscientious and caring and felt a great affection for her students  -- even the naughty ones.  She loved to coordinate her outfits and was such a girly girl and yet  came by my house one day with her axe to chop down a diseased tree in my front yard.  I will miss Tamara.  We had lost touch since my retirement but I still had the comfort of knowing that she was out there somewhere nearby.  

I chose Tamara to be part of our team in the family studies department at Loretto College. She was an excellent teacher and a much beloved colleague. She left us far too soon and will be sadly missed.

Tamara and I worked together at Loretto College School Brunswick, Tamara was a friendly, caring teacher and friend she  enjoyed a good joke and a good laugh, when she smiled it made you smile along with her. She was dedicated to her students, she pushed them to succeed and do well. 
I'm saddened to hear that Tamara  has passed.
My sincere condolences to Tamara's family may you find peace and comfort during this sad time and remember the good times shared with Tamara

Tamara was a teacher who had kindness and spirituality in her being. I taught with her at St. Mary Secondary. Her smiles were identifying her as a wonderful teacher. I shall miss her. May God bless her soul!

I was terribly saddened to hear of Tamara's passing. She was a kindred spirit. She was a devoted teacher who always put her students first. She loved her family, her pets and her east end home. She had a witty sense of humour. Working with her was a real learning experience. My condolences go out to her family. RIP Tamara.

I had the privilege of working with Tamara at Bishop Marrocco. She was a very dedicated teacher always putting her students first.  Tamara was a book of knowledge with a wealth of experience. So much to learn from her. I was deeply  saddened and shocked to learn of her passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. RIP Tamara

I will miss Tamara very much.  It was lovely to have someone in the Family Studies Department who had such a wealth of experience and from whom I could learn so much.  I only wish we had more time as colleagues. My overiding impression of Tamara is her kindness to me and all the students she taught.  My condolences go out to all Tamara's family.

Sandra Clive, St. Pat's staff

Tamara was a wonderful person to have around at St. Patrick's. She was a dedicated teacher and could also be very funny. I will miss seeing her smiling face.

My sincerest condolences. I remember Tamara well.  We were workroom neighbours before we became friends at St, Mary's. She was very professional and caring and a good listener, but she was not all work and no play.  I loved the way she told stories!  We shared adventures and food and dancing and there was always a lot of laughter!  Her smile alone brightened the dull work area.  I remember Tamara well.

Working with Tamara was a wonderful and adventurous experience. Such a dedicated teacher and a kind hearted person. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

She was a such an amazing person, she was an incredible mentor during every step of her journey, she and all of her loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
