Now that I made it back to the top of the thread and saw your lovely tribute, let me add my quote.
TexasFlower slapped me upside the head, because I deserved it. I had a bad evening and was pretty snide and surley on my first time by.
She was firmly kind and helped me see just what a jerk I was being. Then, she accepted my apology with class and dignity and helped everyone accept me in.
She was a class act -- and dang funny -- and AI just won't be the same without her.
God bless you Tammy. We all miss you.
You’re a good kid TF.
I like your influence on this thread. You walk the walk and keep the high road.

I didn't use it because it was written to her and it wouldn't have fit with the others, but it was a very good quote. I wanted to let you know.
Beautiful post.
And right on the money.
