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,

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!!!
Doug, Valerie, Josh & Breanna Wamboldt
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.

To Joey and family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. We only know each other from the Chemo Dept but I will miss Tammys little smiles, even though she may not have felt like smiling, she tried and remained quiet. Your caring for her while in the Dept and her keeping check on you showed a great bond. May your family bond grow stronger, as together, you share your memories of Tammy.
Thanks to you Joey for being helpful and pleasant to the other chemo patinets as we try to forget where we were and why we were there. Thank-you for the opportunity of making both your aquaintenance.

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 🙂

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)))

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.

Misty & Darryl Canning and Family
To the Callaghan/Mansfield Families;
Words cannot express the sadness we feel for you at this time. I can proudly say that I was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to have known Miss Tammy. We worked many night shifts together, which left open the ability to have loads of fun and lots of conversations, mainly revolving around her children and Joey. She worried, She bragged, and mostly She Loved with all her heart. It was apparent in every word that she spoke of her family that you were her life. She was one of the most compassionate nurses I have met. She spoke to her residents with genuine compassion. The world will surely miss dear Tammy. Take care of each other. Misty 🙂
Wanda Carver

Memories are a gift that even death cannot take away from you. They will live in your hearts forever. Tammy will live on in her children. A part of her she left with her family.
My heart still longs for the years I lived in Caledonia. I miss my friends and think of everyone often.

Cheryl, Steven, Katelyn, & Marissa Mansfield
Tammy was a wonderful, loving, kind hearted person. I had the privilege to have been her classmate and friend and she was a sister- in-law like no other. I will always remember her for her laugh, her smile and her beautiful soul.
Joe….. I want to praise you for looking after Tammy during her illness. You were a very loving devoted husband to her and you had three beautiful children together, they are all a part of her and like you said she became a part of you too and made you who you are today. She loved you all unconditionally. I know you will cherish the many blessings of the beautiful years you shared together. You and the kids were the source that gave her the strength and determination to carry on.
Tammy was an angel on earth and now she is an angel in heaven looking down at us. I, as well as many others, was very lucky to have been touched by someone so special and she will remain in our hearts forever. Cherish the memories you have of her. She was the most loving and caring person in the world. We all miss her too and are thinking of you at this difficult time. Anything you need we are here.
