I am so sorry for your loss. I grew up with Tami in Humbird and went to the same little Methodist church. My mom, Maryann Johnson, knew her parents well. She will be missed.
May the peace of God rest, rule, and abide within your hearts during the time of your grievance, pain, heartache and loneliness of missing sister Tami, a true servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For truly she will be missed within many lives, but never forgotten. I send my love, blessings, and prayers unto the family.
Love always, Robin-Maria
So sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We will all miss Tami.
Tami was such a wonderful woman! She was so kind, gentle, and caring. The world lost one of the most considerate women it has come to know. I will not forget her or her love for life.
Pastor Mike and Family;
I am deeply saddened for your loss. Sis Tammy was a true angel sent from heaven. I will never forget how she made me feel so loved and welcomed after a long absence from church. She would give me a great big hug and tell me she was glad to see me. I always felt as if I never left. I will miss Sister Tami dearly. May God bless you and strengthen you in the days ahead.
Love, Sister Angela
Dear Bro Mike, Jeff, Mathias, and Amy:
One of my last memories of Tami is her singing “In the Garden” at Faith Deliverance Holiness Church, after sharing that it had been one of her mother’s favorites.
**In the Garden**
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I’d stay in the garden with Him
‘Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
What a beautiful and peaceful image I have of Tami “in the garden”, as the Lord walked with her and talked with her as He re-affirmed that she WAS/IS one of his own. May you find comfort in your memories and may peace be yours as you mourn the loss of Tami. God bless.
Sis. Tami was always loving and friendly. She showed her love for God to everyone that she met. I thank God for her and her family. I will continue to pray that God will keep you, Bro. Mike and family.
Our family loves you so much. Sis. Tami was like a little Sis. to me and another Mom to the children. We appreciate every moment God allowed us to share. You will be always in our prayers. The Shannons
