Tammy was my best friend here ... She was so good to me and sweet and encouraging. I love her and I always will.
I'm crying
Her birthday was less than two months ago. She was 46.
She was so proud of her daughters and talked about them often--her mom and dad too. God please watch over them. Watch over her family.
I'm shaking There's so much I want to say, but I dont' have the words. It feels like my heart's been ripped out of my chest.
Everyone please pray for Tammy and her family ...
All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)
I am so very sorry, silent_jonny. My prayers are with you too.

Dear Lord in heaven!
Sincere sadness here and prayers for her family!
And for you, too jonny! We all feel this loss deeply.
I know how you feel...Tammy was always such a loving, supportive person here. She will be missed.
I'm crying with you, but not at her passing...as she is now resting in God's arms. I am crying at our loss. Such a sweet caring person, lost to us.
No one ever cries alone on FR. {{{{silent_jonny}}}}
OMG jonny..I just logged on and checked my pings...I cannot believe this!
Prayers sent for Tammy's children and your family.
She will be missed here.
My heart goes out to you Johnny. It is so sad. Her picture shows what a beautiful spirit she is.
That's really sad. I'd become friends with her, too. I guess we can be glad we gave her some happiness in the AI threads before her unexpected death from the surgery. It's a shame that it was possibly from a surgery just for her to lose weight, unless the doctor's urged her to get it done. Death from an elective procedure would be an awful way to die.
I am truly sorry to hear of her death. There are too few who actively live the better way.
To TexanForBush: Thank you for logging on to tell us of her passing. That shows an awesome heart on her behalf.
My condolences are with all of you and you will be in my prayers.
God Bless you Jonny I realise how friendly she was with you from the freep mail about the card she wanted to make sure that I designed it to suit you. It was wonderful really though she did not tell me what to put on the card I just knew what to and you confirmed later that I had done so.
Tammy will be sorely missed.
I only "met" Texasflower once on this forum when we wrote a couple of freepmails back and forth after I saw the photo of her dad on her profile page. She truly is a Texasflower and I'll always remember her. She will live forever, I'm certain of that.
Prayers and condolences.
This is indeed shocking and totally unexpected. Tammy was so fun on the AI threads. She will be sorely missed.
jonny, though it is excrutiating to lose a friend, let us remember her contribution to us here, and know that she is at peace with the Lord now.
Oh my... I am SO sorry to hear this. Loving prayers are going up for Tammy, her family, and to you, Jonny. God bless you, and comfort you.
Thanks for the ping jonny. This is very sad news. You too will be in my prayers. I know you too had gotten close.
texasflower was an integral part of our "American Idol" gang. She was always sweet and upbeat and kind to all.
I have shed quite a few tears, too, jonny. Texasflower and I PM'd back and forth and conspired to get your AI thread up to 10,000 posts.
May her sweet soul rest in peace. She is bringing joy to everyone in Heaven.
