I can't believe my Tammy is gone! She's been a dear Dear friend since high school & college. SO many great memories! So many! I haven't been able to see her the last yr & I was planning a visit on my next trip to Lincoln, isn't that just the way of it. Don't Ever put off visiting family or friends because some day it will be too late. I will hold Tammy forever in my heart & memory, even as I rejoice that she is at peace & awaiting Jesus return!

I am so sorry to hear of Tammy's passing. She was such a good friend to me while my husband and I were in Lincoln. I had last touch over the past few years and was trying to reconnect when I found this announcement. Please know that my condolences go out to you at this time.

I am so sorry to hear the news about Tammy. I was Tammy’s Dental Assistant, and had a lot of conversations with her, and about her life. I have to say Erin you were such a wonderful friend to her. She talked about you every appointment. She would also tell us about little tips and tricks that she’s learned over the years and of course her jokes. She had a way of getting people to talk. I will miss her smiling face and her jovial way.  My sympathies to her family and friends.

I'm Erin's mom.  Whenever her dad and I hosted Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, Tammy was almost always invited.  She was a bright addition to our family table.  Sometimes she would stay and watch a movie with us or join in a game.  On the days she had to work, Erin would fix up a plate of food for Tammy from our meal to take to her so she could at least enjoy the taste of the holiday.

It's very sad to know that she is gone, but we know she has slipped the bonds of this earth to join her Father in heaven.  For that we are grateful.

Tammy was a dear friend to me for over 20 years. We spent many hours talking about life, God, sometimes politics (we learned to keep those convos to a minimum 😉) and our hopes for the future. Tammy had great hope of someday being reunited with her sweet mother in eternity with Jesus.

She loved all things Disney. Any bad day could be made a little better with a classic Disney movie. Often when I would go over to her house she had one of the oldies on, and she knew every line and song lyric. They brought back good memories for her. 

Tammy had a beautiful singing voice. Sometimes we would sing old hymns and choruses together in 2 part harmony. I was even surprised one day to find that she could also play the guitar. She was very musically gifted!

Her heart was full of compassion for anyone who suffered, and she had a strong desire for justice for the wounded. This shaped her views politically & theologically. Although we had very different views in those two areas, I always appreciated her strong convictions. We learned to agree to disagree and still be friends after some heated discussions. She pushed me personally to better articulate my beliefs and helped me to become more thoughtful about my convictions. I will forever be grateful for that part of our friendship.

Tammy was the hardest worker I have ever met. She took her job and her responsibilities very seriously. When others would have given up, in the face of some of her physical limitations, she kept going and did as much as she could. My prayer is that she has found the rest and peace she longed so deeply for.

I’m so thankful that God brought Tammy into my life. I miss her already.

Tammy is a sweet caring individual who loved providing advice to others.  I worked with Tammy at Capital One.  We moved over to Club Premier at the same time. We ended up with the exact schedule that was created for us and then into another schedule with the same hours.    We were so alike and we bonded over our love of our Heavenly Father, passing of our mothers, and our numerous degrees and our experiences and performances at work.    Tammy was the first person who I said hi to in the morning at work and the last one I wished a good night over Slack when our shifts ended.   

Tammy was forever sharing jokes, advice, and unheard of songs.   We would play Family Feud and trivia in between calls through slack.   She was always sharing YouTube videos about "unheard of" funny and old songs on YouTube songs.  Tammy would also send videos from christian comedians on YouTube.   

Then after hours we find time to talk on the phone once or twice a week for about 2 hours.  I always knew that I needed to have a large open time  for our phone calls. Also, we still found time to text each other.   Tammy was a great friend and someone that I talked to alot.   I admired and loved Tammy for her strength, outlook of life, her care of her mother, and her love of our One True God.   I know that we will meet again in Heaven.   In the meantime the hole Tammy left will be filled with her memories until we meet again.   I love you Tammy..   my sister in Christ and my friend and coworker.   Rest In Peace, my friend.  I will definitely miss you.
