R.I.P. Tammy Carper
After living for over six decades, you departed.
You were my best friend and I'm brokenhearted.
You liked to help people because you cared.
You lost your life and that certainly isn't fair.

You had a rescue service and you rescued dogs over the years.
You had a big heart and your death has caused pain and tears.
I had no vehicle or driver's license and you gave me rides.
Your friends and family are devastated because you died.

You loved dogs so much that you had ten of them.
You went to be with God and that truly pleases him.
If I live to be 100, I will never forget you.
You left this earth at the age of sixty-two.


[Dedicated to Tammy L. Carper (1963-2026) who passed away on January 5, 2026]

Sorry that you lost your friend. Your writing shows that she had quite the impact on the lives of others, and writing about her was a loving thing to do.
