My sincere condolences to the family. Though I never met Tam personally, I know that she was an inspiration to many people and a source of support and information for so many facing cancer, including my late mother who spoke fondly of her on many occasions. She will be missed.

Tam and my niece, Annette, became friends in high school and I consider her family. She has been an inspiration to all in her cancer fight - what an amazing and phenomenal woman! A warm and caring smile at many Relay for Life activities. She always told me was nobody special. Oh, Tam you are very, very special!! You are a guiding light to so many.My sympathy to her family.
