I just now found out about Tammy’s passing. I knew her from the Navy where we went to school together, then were stationed in Guam as a follow on assignment for a couple of years. Tammy was a wonderful, genuine person with an amazing energy and a kindness that just flowed from her. She was a good friend and I am so sorry to learn of her passing. I’ll always remember her wonderful laugh, which she did often.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Tammy. I did not know her well, but spent a little bit of time with her because my daughter, Emily Papez, was in Jarrett’s kindergarten class at school and rides the bus with him now. I pray that God will give you and your family strength and courage during this difficult time. The Papez Family

I haven’t seen or spoken to Tammy since High School. I was unable to attend our High School Reunion and not sure that she was there either. Tammy and I had a lot of fun together. She was one of the most sweetest and caring person I’d met – although she did have a little fire in her when provoked!! lol. God Bless her family and know that she is looking down on you from heaven with that sweetheart of a smile.

Kevin,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I saw it in the paper last week and I have been praying for you and your family. Oh what wouldn’t I give to go back to those carefree days at MU! Hugs to you in this difficult time!

Tammy and I were best friends in 9th and 10th grade. We had so much fun together. She was funny and loved to laugh. The last time I saw her was when my husband and I were stationed in Guam. It was quite funny to run into someone on Guam of all places, from high school with a class of 60. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope and pray God will ease your pain.

I knew Tammy from McCrory Schools and from our families living in the same neighborhood for a period. She was always smiling and as I recall, was a friend to everyone! Although we hadn’t spoken in some time, I still counted her among my friends. May Kevin and the children find peace in knowing she touched the lives of so many. My deepest sympathy to them and to the extended family also.
