So sorry to hear the loss of a loved one and a friend. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Joey, Steven, Kyle and Brittany,
As you know, Tammy was one of my very special students and I loved her to bits. She was thoughtful, intelligent, and a pleasure to spend time with. Her favorite topic of discussion and the one that gave her the most pleasure was her amazing family.
I know the past many months have been stressful and difficult for all of you but you came through for her in the best possible way and she was proud and grateful for everything.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are at your disposal if we can help you in any way in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Judi and Bill
To say some few words to a cousin I remeber way back when. To Tammy it as been many years since I have seen you although I have never stopped thinking about all my family back home. May you R.I.P. with no more pain. The Lord helped you with the pain if only he could help ease our pain of loosing you. To Joey and the kids. May you always remeber the days when she was happy and pain free. I am sending you hugs and kisses all the way from Ontario. Thinking of you all during this time.
Love you all Kim
We are so sorry to hear of Tammys passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Deepest Sympathies,
Brian and kim
Tammy was always meant to be a Mom, we first met her as Cara’s baby-sitter. She looked after Cara with maturity & so much love for someone only in her teens w/o the practice of her own kids yet. Tammy was a very loving & prideful Mom, but also a very shy & private person, but once she opened up to you, you had a true friend.Will miss her very much!!!
I’m so sorry for your loss, I never had the pleasure of meeting Tammy but have heard many great things about her. Heaven got another Angel today.
With Deepest Sympathies,
The Wamboldt Family
Joey and Family:

To the dear family of Tammy Mansfield/Callaghan; We send our truest and deepest condolences in this very hard time. I had spent many a night shift with Miss Tammy. Many long nights led to many long talks, and I can say without a doubt that her family meant more to her than anything in this world. For you all, she worried, she bragged and she loved. Her fun spirit will be missed by so many people. She has touched all of our hearts. These words are sincere. Take care of and continue to love each other with her strength
Joey, Steven, Kyle and Brittany;
Though there are no words to heal your hurt, take comfort in knowing that Tammy was an amazing, admirable woman, and she truly loved you all with everything she had to give…keep her alive in your hearts and share your memories with each other…she will always be with you…take care of each other…

Family! God Bless.

Dear Joey, your family, and all the rest of Tammy’s family
I cannot imagine how you must be feeling at this time. Tammy fought a huge battle……but it seems tough for anyone to ever win against it. Her battle has ended, and she will suffer no more, as hard as it is, be grateful that she is not in pain or struggling.
Your pain and struggling will someday get better.
Take care of one another and rely on the comfort of family and friends to help you through these terrible days.
Keep your memories alive, and Tammy will be with you forever.
(((HUGS)))

Joey and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose
Move on, be brave, don’t weep at my grave,
Because I am no longer here, but please never let you memories of me diaappear.
If I die tomorrow, I’d be alright because I believe,
That after we’re gone , the spirit carries on.

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Tammy. I knew Tammy from years ago and working at the NQNH where I had the pleasure of working with her. She was a wonderful person and I remember her most for her kindness and smile. She had one of the sweetest smiles and i will always remember her for that. She helped me tremendously during my work period there.
May you all know at this time that there are many prayers being rendered for you and even though our hearts go out to you at this time no words can help with the pain. God bless you all at this sad time in your life.
