6 Condolences
Our loss is heaven’s gain ~ Tami is a sweet and beautiful soul! My most sincere condolences to the family of this lovely woman.
Rest in Peace my friend!
I worked with Tami at Westin Hotels and Carlson Hospitality. I got to know her very well at Carlson and went to the races with her and Jim a couple times. They were both good people. I am saddened by their passing, but comforted in the thought that they are reunited again.
I was fortunate enough to have some nice visits with Jim & Tami a few years ago, as well as view some of the stunning photos she had taken. She was very talented and had a lovely smile. I’m sure her time since Jim’s passing has been very difficult for her, so I glad to know they are together again.
Rest in Peace Tami – I know you are at peace now and happy being back with Jim. My thoughts and prayers go to her family. God Bless
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time of loss.
