May 31, 2018 at 9:55 amI first met Tammy when I worked with her in the Department of Political Science at MSU. She was always upbeat and happy. We were both diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of one another. Our “breast friends” support group was formed and we met often to share stories, laugh, cry, and offer support. I always looked forward to dinners with all my amazing breast friends. Tammy was the most positive person I’ve ever met and she fought her cancer as a real trooper. I will cherish all the memories of our times together. Heartfelt condolences to her husband Scott and her family. Love you!
