Dear Tammy & family, You’re in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time in your life. Know that God will take good care of your little girl now…she is in good hands. Find peace in that knowledge and cherish the good memories that you have of Tiffany. No one can take those away.
Dear Tammy, Iam very sorry for your loss. My sister Bobbi and I grew up with Tiffany. I haven’t seen her since our sons pre-school graduation, but when I did we immediately connected like we had seen each other yesterday. She was a very sweet girl. I will miss her, and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sincerely, Kelly and Bobbi Thompson
Dear Tammy, Bill and Eric,

Dear Tammy, Eric, or any other loved one reading this…
I wanted to write to you to show my compassion in the best manner possible, even if I’m not really quite sure what to say because I don’t know what you’re feeling or going through. I didn’t know Tiffany well but from what I saw she was friendly & had a very kind & loving soul. I’ve always believed that good things fall apart so better things can come together. First thought in my mind is that nothing good could come from loosing a loved one, but maybe it’s possible. I don’t know if my letter will mean much but you all will be in my prayers always & my heart forever.
Love Nicole.

Hi Tammy, Andrew, Eric, and Bill;
Its Sam. Im sorry to hear of Tifs passing. I loved her, you know that. I wish I could have helped a little more while she was here. I did try. I hate to say she is in a better place, though I know she is okay now. I wish she hadnt left yet. I wonder if she has seen Robin yet? 25 years with this lady…this is crappy…she will be missed.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers, and know my heart is with you all. If I was there I would hug and cry with you all.
Again, she will be missed, and from myself “I love you Tif, I’m gonna miss you friend…”
Love and Prayers, Samantha

Tammy, I know there are no words to say that are going to give you comfort at this time. I just want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tammy, Im so sorry! I cant even begin to imagine how you feel. Ever since I heard, a part of me has been lost. Memories flash through my head of the many years that Tiff and I were inseperable. we did everything together, good & bad, laughter & tears, all the firsts. We had a bond even after years of separation that when we would cross paths, we connected, and picked up like it was when we were young and innocent. I will never forget the years and all the times we had together. Tiff always had a permanent spot in my heart and that will remain forever.
Im here Tammy, for anything, even a shoulder or an ear. You will always be in my heart too! You dont ever have to feel that you are alone, Im just a call away, always and forever!
To my little bro & his “yellow pillow” Im so sorry!
Sending all my love to you and your family!
Always on my mind and forever in my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiff your birtday is coming up and I just wanted to say that I miss you so many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and call ya… I love you and I’ll see you when I get there.
Tiff, I remeber the fun times we had “back in the day” and most of all how much you loved your son. You were always smiling and tried to make the best of whatever situation you were in…I know you struggled at times, but you always had a good heart. You are free from the burdens of this world, but you are missed greatly. Love to your family and Eric.
Tiffany was a realy good friend & She Is Loved & Missed. “R.I.P.”
To the Lufft Family

We’ll miss you and always love you. We will keep you in our hearts forever. Grandpap Buby and Grandma Hattie Tamburin
