Our beautiful Tammy had a smile that could light up a room and a heart big enough to find good in everyone. She was always there for anyone needing help. She loved Gospel Music, Broadway plays, traveling, reading and spending time with her family. She watched fighter jets fly thru the air at Andrews Air Force Base, walked inside the Statue of Liberty, and took pictures from on top of the Empire State Building. LOTS OF PICTURES.
Memorial Contributions can be made to them at 100 Hilltop Lane, Princeton, WV 24740.
To Carol Clark, Debbie Streeby, Gene and Mary Malone and our Union St. neighbors, our gratitude for all you’ve done to assist us since Tammy’s Illness
