Darlene Sell says
I will remember Tammy as young girl growing up in Fairfax, sweet and friendly . When she was manager of Maynards grocery store, always a bounce in her step, a huge smile to greet you, and never too busy to chat..about life in general, mostly about her Nick her hockey son..so proud she was.. My heart goes out to her Mom, Kathy… Losing a child is the most difficult of all losses in life.
My deepest sympathy, prayers and love to Nick, Jim , Kathy and all family members and friends..
