  3. I met Tammy years ago when she lived in Alpena. She was a kind, gentle person who was fun to be around. I know Jaime and her kids were her world and now a grandson that she can look over. He’ll have a guardian angel forever. My thoughts Ava prayers are with her family.

  4. I will remember Tammy for her big smile & happy heart. She was fun to be around & loved her family so much! She served in the military and supported Jaime for so many years while he was in the military. She was a true selfless hero. She was always there for her tribe. I wish I could hug her one more time! You are wrapped in Gods arms now & forever. Until we meet again my friend… ❤️
