With deepest sympathy I have known Tammy for 35+ years. Tammy was such a good friend to me in our youth. She not only shared herself, but her family life as well and it was at a time I truly needed it most. Tammy was a true "giver". Although she and I lost track as we went about our adult lives, I will never forget the times we shared growing up and her compassion for everyone. I know Tammy touched many lives and I will be forever grateful for her friendship. She will always be in my heart. With Love and Sympathy to the entire family. Juanita 2009-11-02 16:43:23

Dear Grimsley & Rudolph Families We were glad that we were able to know Tammy. She was truly a giving person who never knew the word no when it came to serving others. There are so many memories that we will always cherish such as the honor club picnics, field trips from SES & PCHS, the SES PTA talent shows, Brandon & Bethany's wedding and remarkable reception catered by the Rudolph family, standing with us during the fire at our hardware store, stopping to visit while grocery shopping in Elkton, and her captivating smile. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. With our love and sympathy--Garland, Rosemary, Jonathan & Juliana Comer The Comers 2009-11-03 09:28:54
