At Tammie’s Service, the family shared. Mason and Shandie also spoke. This is part of what they said about their Mommy.
MASON – My Mom always had a very good sense of humor. She always had a headline of the three “L’Ss” “LIVE- LAUGH & LOVE”. I remember the last Christmas break, I went in the car after school and she screamed and started laughing and said you get to see your best friend Jake. I will always remember that because she always thought of other people first. She was always Loving and Smiling.
When she picked me up from school she always had a smile and when I got in the car she would ask me how my day was and I would hold her hand all the way home. Her last words to me were I Love You and I will never forget the voice she said it in.
SHANDIE – My Mom was too amazing to describe in words. I loved her so much, and I thanked God for giving her to me. She taught me every important lesson I have learned. And you know what, she will still be teaching me every day of my life. All I have to do is listen To summarize my mom’s most favorite and important things in the whole world, it would be five simple words. Faith, Food, Fun, Friends & Family. Absolutely everything she has ever enjoyed fits under these five categories. My mom was a strong Christian woman, she raised us to be Firm Followers of Christ.
