This thread has truly been an oasis!
Texasflower ~ May 19, 2005

All of the American Idol threads this season have been dedicated in memory of Tammy Gammon. She had such a good time here, laughing, surrounded by her friends—I don’t know of any other place on FR where honoring her would have been more appropriate.

This is our third Idol thread and it will likely be the last for 2006, the last for Tammy. But all future Idol threads, if I have anything to say about it, will carry TEXASFLOWER in the keywords as a continuing tribute to our friend and a reminder to us all to be kind, considerate and compassionate—and to always root for the underdog :)

Please remember Tammy’s family in your prayers on May 18, her birthday. She would have been 47.

God bless them.
God bless you all.

“Texasflower helped make the AI threads so much fun. She always made me smile. FR will not be the same without her.” ~ Retrokitten

“I simply adored her ability to butt heads and loved reading her posts. She was always there with the perfect hug or hatpin, whichever she felt was most deserved.” ~ Doodlelady

“The sweetest, funniest, kindest poster on the AI threads where I had the honor of ‘meeting’ her.” ~ Jrabbit

“Texasflower was an integral part of our ‘American Idol’ gang. She was always sweet and upbeat and kind to all.” ~ Palladin

“In the beginning of November I was thinking about her because the town I work in was having their elections and it reminded me about her Dad going to vote in the ambulance … I loved her and miss her.” ~ No More Apples

“She was unfailingly polite, and more than that. Kind, thoughtful, patriotic, encouraging. A blessing. She was one of my most favorite FReepers, and I do not say that very often. She was exceptional.”

“We never truly know how deeply our lives touch others. I certainly never communicated fully to Tammy how much her posts lifted me up, and I regret that. I assumed she would continue to be there and I would be able to keep responding to her appreciatively.

“We will know in heaven the effect of our lives, when everyone gathers around the Lamb's throne and all our hearts are open and all our secrets known, and we have till forever to tell one another how God blessed us through each other …” ~ GretchenM
