12-16-07 Christmas Without You. posted by Dottie Whitaker
Hi, Tammie, Once again I am writing to you as the 3rd Christmas without you approaches. It has been 27 months and 2 days since you went to heaven and left me with a broken heart and feeling so alone. I don't know how to live without you Tammie. You were my life and miss you so very very much. There are no words to describe the emptiness I feel without you as part of my life. I feel unattached now almost as if I am just floating and wandering with no permanent place to belong. I wait for the day I will join you again, HAVE A MERRY HEAVENLY CHRISTMAS my baby girl. I LOVE YOU, MOM

Dear Tammie, It is two years that you have been in heaven,Sometimes I still just think it is a Bad dream. I talk to you all the time and I know that you can hear me. You are our angel that watches over us. Please take extra care of your mom she is hurting so bad. Know that not a day goes by that I don't think of you and how much I love and miss you. Loving You Always Sweet Tammie, :::: Donna

Dear Tammie, Today the Governor of Nevada signed your bill. It is now Tammie's Law. Because of you and your courage and struggle many lives will be saved. It doesn't change the HOLE in my heart that will remain until I see you again. Now I am going to try to make Tammie's Law, a National law. FOR YOU MY BABY GIRL. I LOVE YOU and I have always been so proud of the woman you became. MOM
12-06 Christmas Without You posted by Dottie Whitaker
Dear Tammie, I just don't even know where to begin. It is almost Christmas the second Christmas without you. I find this one harder and emptier than the first. The shock is worn off now and all thats left is the HURT, and VOID:::I hate life without you. It just has no meaning. You Tammie were my reason to live. The absence of your presence is so much with me everyday and will be until I see you again. I LOVE YOU Tammie, and miss you so very very much. I so wish you were here. I know as sweet and caring as you were in your life that you are with Jesus. Always in my heart Tammie, MOM
I carry your heart with me/ Missing you posted by Leslie combe
Not having you here hurts so much and only the intensity changes from day to day. "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called LIFE; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I CARRY YOUR HEART ( I CARRY IN MY HEART)" I love you and miss you! Les

Tammie a poem I found for you~ I just wanted to let you know you mean the world to me, Only a heart as dear as yours would give so unselfishly. The many things you've done, All the times you were there, Help me know deep down inside how much you really care. Even though I might not say I appreciate all you do, Richly blessed is how I feel having a Godmother like you! Missing you always~Love Jamie

Dear Tammie my beautiful daugter, There just are no words to explain my feelings on your death and missing you and my entire life being so EMPTY without you. It is one year since you left us. Somedays it feels like yesterday when I heard the awful words "She's gone" that day sticks in my head and will be there forever. Yet it feels like an eternity since I saw you and heard your voice. I miss it all so much Tammie. I have a VOID a deep dark hole in my soul that will never be filled until I see you again. Please know you were the BEST thing in my life, EVER:::I am so thankful I had you for 40 years, but it just wasn't enough. You will be forever missed until I see you again, MOM
11 Months8/14/06 posted by Dottie Whitaker
Dear Tammie, It has been 11 months since you left us and most days I still wait for the phone to ring and hear your voice on the other end saying "Hey Mom whats up" Oh, Tammie I miss you so VERY much my heart aches every minute from the loneliness I feel without you. Your Birthday this year on August 9th was such a lonely day for me. I remembered the day you were born and how you made my life better for the entire 40 years 1 month and 5 days that you were here. I hate thinking about my future without you in it Tammie, so I try to just get through each day thats all I can do now and Pray that I join you soon. You will be missed and loved until I see you again, Love to you my very special daughter, Mom

10 Months Since You Left Us. posted by Dottie Whitaker
Dearest Tammie, There are no words to say how much you are missed. Today marks 10 months since you went to Heaven at times it feels like forever since I have seen you or heard your voice, yet the pain in my heart feels like it happened TODAY. You and I talked often about dying, never thinking you would go first. I always worried what you would do without me when I died. Now here I am struggling trying to find a reason to go on with my life without you. My life has not gone on these last 10 months. All I do is get up each day and wait for the day to end so it brings me one day closer to being with you again. That is all I look forward to now Tammie is seeing you and being with you again. I am an empty shell anyway without you. YOU KNOW how very MUCH I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU, In my heart until I see you again, MOM
Thinking of you, Tammie posted by Jamie Skinner
This saying is on my calendar for June 26th (my 30th). I so wish you were here to celebrate! I will be thinking of you like I always do! Sometimes when we feel like no one is on our side, we have to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles of life crowd our path, we are never abandoned without an angel walking beside us. I know you are my angel! I love you! Jamie
9 Months Without you:; posted by Dottie Whitaker
Dear Tammie, In just a couple days it will be 9 months since you left us. I still have so many days I don't believe your gone, then when I do I could just scream WHY MY TAMMIE??? That I will never understand. I miss you every minute of everyday. Your the first thought in the morning and the last one at night. I look forward to the day I will be with you once again. You were my life and now I am just so empty. I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL, MOM
Its been close to 9 months. I miss you so... posted by Leslie combe
Dearest Tammie, It has been almost 9 months since you quietly and peacefully slipped away. There is this huge ache in my heart and an emptiness in my life and soul that never goes away! "Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, we still are. Call me by my familiar name. Speak to me in the same easy way you always have. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, Smile, Think of me, Pray for me. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was. THERE IS ABSOLUTE UNBROKEN CONTINUITY. I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere VERY near, just around the corner. All is well! Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before." Until I see you again know how much I love you! Les

5-5-06 Approaching 8 Months posted by Dottie Whitaker
My Dear Tammie, As I sit here today thinking of you and writing to you I find it so hard to believe that on the 14th you will have been gone from us for 8 months. Sometimes it seems longer other times it seems like yesterday but all the time it feels like a VERY BAD dream. The reality of it hits me each day as I face it without your phone calls, or without seeing your pretty face. My life is so empty without you being the big part of it you have always been for 40 years. I look forward to the day you welcome me home again::You forever changed my life Tammie, I thank you for every second you gave to me. Until I see you again::Be at peace, I miss you and love you::MOM

Project Tammie: March 1, 2006 posted by Dottie Whitaker
My Dearest Tammie, We are so quickly approaching 6 months since you left us to help out God. It seems like only yesterday, as my heart aches for you. Not a moment in time goes by that you are not on my mind. Today I know you heard me talking to you, because I have been so down and feeling so alone with no purpose in life when I got a call from the Legislative people in Washington DC asking me to come to Washington and help put a bill together for legislation on Project Tammie. I know you have been guiding me through this, I feel your direction and your presence. Stay with me Tammie, and because of your life and your death we will make a difference and save so many lives with "TAMMIE'S LAW" I Love You, Always, MOM
My Special Neice posted by donna skinner

You are so missed Tammie! posted by Leslie combe
I came across this poem the other day... I'M FREE Don't grieve for me for now I'M FREE I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh,to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My lifes been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undone grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me God wanted me now; HE SET ME FREE! You are forever in my heart and soul:::I love you, Les
5 Months posted by Dottie Whitaker
My Dearest Tammie, Feb. 14th will be 5 months since you left us with broken hearts. Valentines will always remind me of my broken heart now. I miss you so much, there are no words to discribe the emptiness I feel. I feel so alone now in this world without you. We were connected Tammie, really bonded so I can never fill the void. Everyday I miss seeing you and hearing your voice. They say your in a better place and I so hope that is true, but my place here without you is lonely and will be until I can be with you again. I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW LOVE NEVER DIES. Thinking of you as always, MOM
My Loving Neice posted by donna skinner
Tammie it will 4 months tomorrow that I got that terrible phone call, I couldn't believe it because I had just talked to you the day before, you sounded so happy and you were doing so good at work, Maybe that is why god needed you to do some good work for him? I want you to know that their isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I love you very much Tam and miss you very much. Bye for now until I see you again, Love Donna
4 Months I Miss You posted by Dottie Whitaker
My Dearest Tammie, Today is the 13th of January it has been 4 months since I heard your voice and your laugh. 4 months ago we spoke on the phone several times and I was to see you the next day. I never got to see you again. I still wait to wake up from this painful dream of losing you. My heart aches and my body longs for a hug or touch from you. My days are so empty and lonely without you Tammie. I still can't even think about the rest of my life without you:: HOW DO I DO THAT??Every morning when I open my eyes the pain hits me and the reality that I won't see you again today. You have always been my reason for living Tammie and I don't know how or why to live now. You were the best thing that ever happened in my life, truly a wonderful gift from God. I have ALWAYS been so proud that I was your MOM. My heart is truly broken, I will never be without this pain and emptiness I have from missing you. I know my place here on earth will never be happy again without you. ALWAYS KNOW you ae loved and missed with all of me::: Your MOM

To My Dearest Family: posted by Donna McCullough
This poem always gave me comfort, so sorry for your loss. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// To My Dearest Family: Some things I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with God above where there's no more tears or sadness there is just eternal love Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night That day I had to leave you when my life on Earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you It's good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone as for your dearest family they'll be here later on I need you here so badly as part of My big plan there's so much that we have to do to help our mortal man Then God gave me a list of things He wished for me to do and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you And I will be beside you every day and week and year and when you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tear And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night When you think of my life on Earth and all those loving years because you're only human they are bound to bring you tears But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned but if I were to tell you you wouldn't understand But one thing is for certain though my life on Earth is o're I am closer to you now than I ever was before And to my very many friends trust God knows what is best I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb but together we can do it taking one day at a time It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too that as you give unto the World so the World will give to you If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free remember you're not going you are coming here to me And I will always love you from that land way up above Will be in touch again soon P.S. God sends His Love
