The universe lost a very kind and caring person. My deepest sympathy.
I remember the fun we had when you were in nursing school and we put the instructor in a lift an wheeled her all around PVI. Once you were out of school you were first class. Even though I have retired I still enjoyed saying hello whenever I stopped in. You will always be in my memories. God Bless .
Tammy was simply put a woman of wit and charm. Her humor was what pulled us all to her office, just to sit and chat. Her determination to work despite her condition was amazing. I will miss her. She truly was good to all of us.

In bed trying to get the strength to do something when depression of the thought of missing you prevents me from getting up. As I look out the window I see a hummingbird trying to come inside. Made my heart so full of your memory it must be you Tamela M Moss letting me know that you made it to heaven. I’m so happy for you but so sad for us Love your little sister and friend ❤️
