When I first met Tammy she was homeless... I brought her into my home for an intervention between Greg and I.....that's how she met him.... her and I slept on my sleeper sofa for a couple of months and when my granddaughters would come 4 a weekend or two... she and I and the girls all piled up together in the same bed. When Greg and I parted ways I told her if you want him you can have him and I think that was the best thing that ever could have happened to either one of them.... people used to say that we were crazy an strange because all three of us were the bestest of friends... actually I think Tammy used to like letting people know about our situation. I can say that she is the most beautiful person inside and out any time that I needed anything or a place to lay my head she open her doors no matter what kind of problem it would cause between her and Greg.. she was my sister thru-and-thru. I'd call her up on the telephone just to see how she was doing she'd say what's up trick how's things going in your life today.. I would ask her how treatment was going she was such a fighter she just knew she was going to beat this and I thought so too cuz she already had one battle with cancer the last time that I saw her she told me that when she was dead and gone to please come and check on Greg and see how he was doing make sure that he was all right and that he didn't need anything... well when my fiance passed on the 3rd of May I was so wound up and engulfed in my own life that I didn't take the opportunity to come see my friend before I left Polk County. I love you my sister and I'm going to miss you so so dearly... I knew and you knew that you and I would always be friends no matter who thought they were going to come between us... now I have to look up to the heavens in the sky to talk to you my friend.... you knew my beloved Sam hopefully you two are sitting on a cloud somewhere reminiscing.. Rest in peace my beautiful friend and one day we will meet again
