ARRANGEMENTS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MICHEL FUNERAL HOME
I miss you so much my sweet friend. I am so glad I had you in my life for 37 years. I don’t know what I am going to do without you. I love you,
We had so much fun, yoga, talks, laughs, I remember 1 time we were lost (slightly) I said If our husbands knew were we are! She said, as long as we make it home there is no harm. We got lost alot but we always made it home. Im gonna miss our weekly coffee, talks, Yoga… till I see you on the other side ! Love you Tami!
Gonna miss the goofy jokes and hearing your giggle.
I have so many memories of my little cousin, Tami. That smile. That flash of shocking blonde hair. Running up and down the steps of Aunt Mary’s house. Due to our Grandparents living across the street from each other.. seeing them (Timmy and Tami) almost every holiday. Always Christmas and Easter. I especially remember Easter egg hunts in my Grandma’s teeny tiny backyard. I loved seeing Tami. She was always smiling. She was more of a listener than talker, which stood out to me in our family. She was just always a sweet girl. I never heard her talk bad about anyone. I never heard anyone say anything bad about her. I think both of those things are rare. She will be missed. Praying for strength until they meet again, for Mark, her husband of 31 years, her beloved brother, Tim, and all the family and friends who love and miss her. The world needs more people like Tami. She deserved more time.
