sorry for your loss,may God be with you.
I worked with Tammy and Linda at Howard Johnson. Tammy was very special indeed. Always had a smile and a wonderful laugh. This is tragic. I feel terrible for Mitch, Linda and the kids. I’ll have you in my thoughts.
Tammy was a wonderful person who we all enjoyed while she worked at our Howard Johnson. She left to have her baby but we were thrilled when she returned. She just made us all feel happy just being around her. My sincere condolences to her family.

Words cannot express our sorrow for your loss. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Alyssa and family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. May God hold you close and comfort you. Love, Lynne and Gary
Tammy used to be in our Sunday School class at Calvary Baptist Church. I rememeber the time we went out to your house for fellowship. You and Tammy were awesome hosts. It has been a long time since we have seen you all and want you to know we are sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my sister, 37, this past January. She was found alone in her apartment. We miss her terribly. If it wasn’t for the Lord to lean on, I don’t know how I could have gotten thru it. Lean on him, he can handle it.
Mitch,
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mitch,
I used to work with Tammy at Howard Johnsons,Tammy was a real fun loving person.I will never forget when I bought three rolls of carpet from the hotel & tammy decided that we could load it in her MPV and haul it to my house,
(along with her,myself and 4 kids).Boy was that fun but somehow we did it. She would always go the extra mile to help somebody. She was a true friend.I can’t even begin to imagine what you and the kids are going through right now, but just keep the faith and look to God to help you through. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now but God will not put anymore on you than you can bare. Stay strong and don’t hesitate to ask for help.
Mitch,
I am the guy right down below you on American Way that does the ballfield thing on Deaverview and Johnston Blvd. I’ve always enjoyed your company and my thoughts and prayers are with you and and your children. Let me know if I can be of any assistance you might need.

Tammy was a joy to work with when she worked at Ingles.I had the pleasure of working side by side with her and training her. She had a smile and welcoming word for everyone she came in contact with while she worked in the guardhouse.She will be sadly missed.

‘L’ove ‘Y’ou:)
That’s what ur mom would be saying. Know that. U all mean the world to her. She is not gone. She is in ur hearts. We are spirits, who only live in this body temporarily. So U C, she is always n still with u all. Watch n listen for her. She promises to do things that each one of u will understand individually. So when U think U see, hear or just feel her, know that IT IS HER!
We are all Angels with only 1 wing. To fly, we must embrace eachother. Ur mom(and wife, Mitch) embraced SO many people here on Earth that right now she is flying o so high. God only picks the prettiest of flowers. Ur mom is beautiful, inside n out. what a beautiful spirit she is.
Alyssa and Cameron: U are gonna be the strength for Caleb since he is going to EMS. Ur mom would always go with me to defend Caleb N TJ at school(we were the only parents 2 do that) so now it is ur job, although she will be with us cheering us on, to fill that void. I have a feeling we will be up at the school quite often. LOL
We love U all and ur mom, still&4ever.
Sincere condolences to the Payne Family, Linda, Debbie and all who loved her ..’An angel visited the earth and took a ‘flower’ away’…
Forever in our hearts..Tine & Erik
