To all of Tammy's family and loved ones: I'm sorry for our loss. I know you lost a very dear part of your family, but the world also lost a shining example of what it is to be a good, Christian human being. I know she's not hurting any longer and for that we are happy, but due to our incredible love for her, we will be hurting for a very long time to come. I lift all of you up in my prayers and I pray that your happy memories (and I know there must be many) will carry you through these difficult times ahead. Sending hugs to all of you -- Angie (Zeisler) Veith
