Tammy,
You were a wonderful caring woman. Not very many of us here really have the words to describe what we are feeling right now. You are apart of our family here, and I can tell you that you will be missed by all.
You were strength for many soldiers, both home and deployed. We could always look forward to seeing you every month at drill, or at coming home ceremonies to celebrate our safe return.
You are not only a rock and inspiration to the soldiers in our company, but to your husband as well. I'm going to miss doing impressions of your husband for you when we get together. It always got you to laugh. You were John's rock and his fortress. I talked many times with him about you and the family, and I never questioned his love and affection for all of you. He truly felt blessed to have you in his life. You were his place of comfort when he didn't feel like he could do it anymore. You always kept him going.
I'm still speechless. I will miss your smiling face around the armory. You are an angel. Just remember, John will never be alone. He will always have your family, and his extended family here.
We Love You and Miss You Very Much.
P.S. I'll make sure to smack John around a little for ya whenever I can dear.
