SO SAD TO HEAR
Deepest sympathies to Tami’s family. We worked at ACDC in Hab Services. She was a caring person.
Condolence and prayers to the family. Fly high my friend. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
Very sorry for your loss. Our love and prayers to all of you at this difficult time.
We will all miss her.
So sad to hear this. Judy I am so sad for her children, grandchildren and you. Will say a prayer for all of you.
I am so very sorry to hear this sad news . My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Uncle Bob, Aunt Judy, cousin Tom and Tami’s children and families. So many fond childhood memories come to my mind as I think of Tami. Much too soon for her to leave you. Very Sincerely yours, Janet
Judy, I am so sorry to hear this. We lost contact when Don retired and I moved on. You both were like family to me. Lots of conversations. ❤️❤️
Tho our paths didn’t cross very often the last few years her passing has left a tear in my eye and a gaping hole in the fabric of humanity. R.I.P.
I’m so sad to hear of Tami’s passing. Growing up, we as cousins, sure had a lot of fun times on Sundays at our Grandma and Grandpa Heckman’s house. It was never a dull moment for sure with Rob, Tom and Tami around! There were always a lot of shennigans! My heartfelt condolences go to Uncle Bob and Anna Marie and Aunt Judy and Tom, also to Tami’s children and families. What a tragic loss at such a young age.
