My prayers are for the family and friends. I have many fond memories of Tamara while in high school. The class of 80/81 had many tight bonds. The pain of death is hard, but it's not good by, but really a pause, more of " I'll see you later!" I have no doubt that is the case, and will look forward to seeing her once again. God Bless the family with strength, peace and comfort.

Even though I haven't seen Tamara, in quite a while, I still have pleasant memories from my time in Earle. She was one of those rare people who was fun loving and left only good memories behind her. May you, Joe and your children, take comfort in all the wonderful memories that you made together.

I am shocked and saddened! I grew up with Jodi and Taylor, so, of course, I knew Mrs. Tamara quite well! She was my first boss, was someone who could take care of business, and always had beautiful flowers in the garden. I always enjoyed when she would send me home with flowers! Maybe that’s why I enjoy them so much today!
I am heartbroken for Mr. Joe, Jodi, Taylor, and Whitney! Y’all have been through SO much in the last few years. You are in my thoughts and I’ll be praying for God to comfort you all in this difficult time.
I remember Mrs. Tamara in my front yard coming to check on me and my family when my dad died and I am so sorry I won’t be able to be there to do the same for you all in this time.
