I have never met you Tammy. I met your Mom at the "Senior Center" about 2 1/2 years ago. We talk about you off and on. You were a pretty amazing women, to go through all that pain. Today we went to your Memorial. It was a beautiful testimony of your life. I was very impressed and sorry you had to go through so much. You were very beautiful, strong, independent, and fighter for so many years. God Bless you. Heaven has another beautiful Angel. God Bless your family and friends.

I have never met you, but I met your Mom at the "Senior Center". I would always ask your Mom how you were doing and she would tell me, that you were a very strong, stubborn, independent lady. I would tell her that you all were in my prayers. I was so impressed by what your Mom said. Your courage to stay strong and fight, your determination, and your Faith to keep going was pretty amazing. What a great testimony you have for other. I will continue to pray for your family. God Bless

Rick, Morgan, Makenzie and Tammy's family and friends. I was so luck to have had Tammy in my life for almost 20 years. Her sunshine outlook on life brought me happiness and love through out the years. She was my inspiration, Tammy always put everyone ahead of herself. Tammy showed so much love for her girls and Rick. I will carry her love in my heart and will never forget the special friendship we shared.

Jack, Carol, Julie and Tammy's family I really never got to know, My heart go's out to you all! I hadn't seen Tammy in many years but I would think of Tammy often with all the good time when we all were much younger in Los Banos! My Mom loved working with Tammy there at the Clovis Gottschalks many years ago! Please take care,

To all the family and friends of Tammy Sakomoto, I grieve with all of you. Thank you for sharing your pictures of her life. She was our daughter Kellys first best friend - a friendship that continued over 45 years. Though her life was far to short, her smile and positive spirit touched all who knew her. When thinking of Tammy, I think of this, "God saves the toughest battles for his mightest warriors". We love you Tammy
