Just read about Tammy passing. She was a beautiful person and I will miss her glowing smile. So sorry for your loss.

Michelle...so sorry for your loss...prayers for for you and your family.

Peggy and Ray,
I just heard about Tammy's untimely passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  May the memories that you have of Tammy bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Dear Tammy, Our hearts are so heavy at the news of your untimely passing. We both loved you dearly and you will be missed so much. God has a beautiful angel in his midst. We will be praying for Lauren and your family, and hoping that the hurt and pain that they are feeling will subside. We will never forget your wonderful smile and your genuine heart of gold. We Love You

Peggy, I am so sorry for your loss.  I only found out from Facebbok entries.  I want to call you but I have no number.  The fun time we had on that bus to Texas still stands out with you cheering those softball players on.  Tammy was a  very special person and achieved this from your love and guidance.  Please accept my sincere wishes for you to be able to go on after this.

Tammy, you will be missed more than you ever thought possible! Mike and I will remember all the good times we had together and will cherish every single memory. It really is not the same here without you. We love you,

Michelle,
I am so sorry for your loss. Tammy was always smiling and happy at CES and the kids all loved her. My prayers are with you and your family.
Lauren,
I am so sorry for your devastating loss, words cannot begin to express what you are going through. I worked with your mom at CES off and on as a substitute and you graduated with my daughter Hope Irons.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tammy I will never forget you. 
It is still hard for me to believe you are not here. We had wonderful memories and had great times together working and hanging out. We would have a lot of fun and laughs. Lauren you were her life and she loved you so much. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You will be missed. You never met a stranger and had a beautiful personality and  smile. Until we meet again in heaven I was blessed to share a friendship. Lauren I'm here for you.

I knew Tammy when she was a nurse at Central Elementary. She was a very caring person who really worked hard for our students. I'm so sorry for your lost. She will be missed greatly. We are praying for your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Tammy was a great person and she gave her all as the CES school nurse.  My Brad loved her and faked sick very often just to be in her office with her.  She showed such compassion for those kids and especially my son.  I will always remember her smile.  I feel blessed to have known her.

Ray, Peggy, Michelle and Lauren,

We were so sorry to learn of your loss.  We came to know Tammy best through her employment with Dr. Leonard, years ago.  Tammy was a wonderful person, and a delight to know.

We stopped by last week to express our sorry but you had steeped out. We are sorry we missed you.

Please take comfort in the fact that Tammy is in the Lord's arms, and know that you have many, many people sharing your grief.

Tammy was my beautiful, FABULOUS BFF! We are devastated without her. I look around and see so many reminders of our friendship. We are blessed to have wonderful memories that  fill our hearts . She was the sweetest, kindness, most thoughtful person that we've ever encountered. Lauren, please know that she was so proud of you and loved you deeply. You were her life. We are trying to find comfort in the fact that God has a FABULOUS angel that will watch over and protect us all. Chuck and I are always here for you.

I will never forget when Tammy was my neighbor and our shopping trips and the fun Blake and Lauren  had playing together.  You will be missed by a lot of people and my thoughts and prayers to Lauren and the families,  May your memories keep you going and know they are with the angels in heaven now watching over you.  God bless!!!

Tammy...I can not even begin to express how broken hearted I am knowing I will never hear your sweet voice, get one of your special texts with all the cute emoticons, no more lunch dates, no more hugs, and the list just goes on. You were my very special friend and I do not think I ever met anyone like you. How sweet and dear your precious heart was. Always thinking of someone else, and how you could help someone else. Your entire life was your daughter, she was you star. Lauren...please always know just how much your mother loved you. Her eyes lit up just talking about you. I also want you to know just how special we all thought your mother was. I will always be there for you young lady. My heart goes out to you and your family, and I hope that you can find peace in each others love. 

Good bye my friend...You will be greatly missed. I love you!

My condolences to the Black family. It is never easy to lose a loved one in death. Soon He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will no longer exist.

Ray, Peggy, Michelle, Lauren & family, We are so sorry for the tragic loss of Tammy. Know that we are thinking of you. May God hold you close during this difficult time & give you peace. Ella Sue Coffey, Earl Cash, Earl Miley and Dremia Cash, Jessica Cash, Rick Cash, Linda Cash and Brandon Hwong.

Peggy, Ray, Michelle and Lauren,
Words are just not enough now, and so the memories are what we have to hold onto.  I so vividly remember Peggy's insistence on Tammy getting in the "new" Health Occupations Program at ACHS. And after spending just a few moments with Tammy, I wanted her in my class too. And from that point, Tammy worked her way to the top of the class, winning honors and competing nationally in Atlanta for HOSA.  She was kind, gentle, soft spoken and with a great sense of humor she could make anyone feel better with her beautiful smile and dazzling blue eyes.  I have always been so proud of her.  My heart aches for each of you.  My prayer is that God will wrap his loving arms around you, and give you peace.

Tammy was a wonderful person. Even tho' I took over her position when she left ACPS, no one will ever be able to replace her! God bless her family!

I am so sorry for your loss.  Sincerely.  May God grant you peace and your angels stay close.

Michelle and family....we hold you all in our hearts and prayers during this time.   May we soon be blessed with the wonderful memories and legacies that will be the strength to get us through these days ahead.   love to you all!
Paula and Bobby Stinnette and family

My thought and prayers are with you.  Tammy was a very special person and she touched a lot of people's lives.  May she forever rest in the arms of God and my He bring peace to the ones left behind.

Tammy's loss has most certainly been felt throughout the CES community. Her bright smile has been missed ever since she moved to Virginia Beach and now heaven has gained a very special person. May god give your family strength and comfort.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Peggy. May the Lord wrap you in his arms.

Thoughts and our deepest sympathy to all.  You are in our prayers.

Each time I think of you I see you walking in the yard on Beechwood. I remember you pulling into my driveway after a shopping trip to TJ Maxx and showing me your treasures of the day! You were such a blessing to so many people, young and old. You touched so many lives and will live forever in our hearts. I look forward to seeing you in heaven one day!

So sorry for your loss.  May God be with your family and friends.

While working with Tammy at Central Elementary, I always respected her attention to detail and the seriousness with with she managed her responsibilities.  She was patient with the children and offered them so much more than just her health assistant skills.  She had a beautiful smile, spoke of Lauren and her family often and was a bright spot in our office space.  With sympathy and confidence in God's relevant role as the Ultimate Comforter, we will continue to hold both families close in thoughts and prayers.

Tammy ..we miss YOU...more with each passing DAY
you are amazing...we will miss your SWEET smile, your kind and gentle way with friends or strangers and your ability to bring out the BEST in others
rest your sweet eyes and worry no more..God has called his angel home 
UNFORTUNATELY... we are much less...without YOU!!!
Lauren, be strong and lean on GOD...he will be your guiding light in your hour of need....you are in our thoughts and prayers

Heartfelt sympathy for Tammy's family.  She always had a smile on her face and will be missed.

Peggy I do not have words for such a loss I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around you and your family and give you some peace and comfort. You have my deepest sympathy..

Tammy was such a caring person. My son would make up illneses, just to visit her in the clinic at CES. Love & Prayers

Tammy was married to my cousin Dennie. She was always a joy to be around. She was a wonderful mother and wife, and a big part of our family.
