Thank you

Submitted by Bob, Amanda and Family (not verified) on Fri, 12/12/2008 - 21:05.

We just want to say Thank you to everyone that meant so much to Mom and came to show Mom how much she meant to them. Mom was someone that would give you the shirt off of her back to help you even if she just met you and it was her last shirt. She was the person that was going to fix the world by helping in anyway that she could. We want to send a special thanks to one person and they know who they are that did something for the family that I know if mom was here and able to do for someone she would have. Thank you to everyone.

Mom I miss you, you look good and smell good too.

Can not believe Sad and Shocked

Submitted by Tina Simmers (Sylvester) (not verified) on Thu, 12/11/2008 - 20:14.

I am so shocked by this, I just heard and read this tonight. I really can not believe!! Tammy I knew you as a friend ,fellow Realtor and Relative on the Sylvester side. You always were so much fun to talk to. Your laugh was always so contagious!! It's strange because we haven't heard from you or saw one of your many for sale signs and the great old billboard and honestly were just talking about this and wondering how you were doing, just figured with everything that's going on with the market that's why. We had no idea, and are very shocked and sad!!! Your one of the nicest, sweetest, people and I mean that, and you will be missed!!!

You were full of life!

Submitted by Jim Carey (not verified) on Thu, 12/11/2008 - 15:58.

Tammie, you were my first "roommate" at Re/Max Professional and I immediately felt that you would be a great agent. Why? Your enthusiasm, commitment to improving all the time, your great marketing ideas (some of which you shared with me - thank you!). When so many of us went into the office and were only concerned about getting our own busines done, you had the time for conversation. You will be missed - God love you!

Even though we did not see

Submitted by Chris DeMola (Re/Max) (not verified) on Thu, 12/11/2008 - 15:37.

Even though we did not see Tammie very often in the office, we do know that she was a very caring, thoughtful, kind person. Of course, her time came too soon. I will miss her. Amanda and Bobby, you are in my prayers as are all of your children. Time heals all. I know you can't understand that now. Just remember all of the times you shared with your mom and grandmom (good and bad) and she will stay in your hearts forever.

Wow. I am so shocked to have

Submitted by Irene Butler (not verified) on Thu, 12/11/2008 - 11:30.

Wow. I am so shocked to have just read Tammie passed away. Tammie was a funny agent to work with but who was also very professional. I never experienced such a patient person to work with in fifteen years of real estate. I once had a buyer for one of her many listings that just couldn't make up their mind. When they did, the father came along and put the brakes on the whole deal,so that was that! Tammie wasn't phased a bit and remained helpful and lighthearted about the whole ordeal even when I was ready to jump from a bridge! I never forgot her for that. She was the agent you wanted to work more with. There are few of those agents left in our industry and she will be missed by those who knew her. Those who didn't meet her and didn't get to really know her missed a great lady! I am sorry for your family to have this to face especially during the holidays. I wish you all peace and will pray that your sadness and shock passes soon.
Irene Butler, Keller Williams

Very Sad News

Submitted by Joe Escher (not verified) on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 19:18.

Dear Amanda and Bobby,
I don't know if you remember me but I dated your mom for a short time. Amanda use to call me homie..I met you Bobby in the Denny's so you could check me out and make sure it was ok for your mom and I to date.
Over the years , I have kept in touch with your mom and she kept me updated on the goings on with the family and best of all she kept me up to date with pictures of your beautiful children.
Your mom was an incredible lady. I wish I had lived closer -who knowns what may have been.
I will miss her e-mails and her pictures.
The world was a better place for having her in it..
Now Heaven is the better place,as I am sure she is there..

My deepest condolences..

My Buddy

Submitted by Bob Woodall (not verified) on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 15:05.

Tammie...(with an ie!)
I could hardly believe the news when I heard you passed away. I ran into you and Amanda at Wawa in October. Had I have known that would be the last time that I would see you, I would have talked and hugged you so so much more. You are and will always be my Buddy. Your smile was big...but your heart was much bigger!

Bobby and Amanda,
I want to let you both know that I am saddened by your loss. Mom will always be looking over you. She taught you both how to care for others...so now you must be there for one another.

Tammie,
God bless you and Rest in peace.

My God how your mom loves you both so much. I speak in the present, because she is present and always will be. While the pain of this loss is immeasurable, let her love for you stroke your aching hearts and ease your troubled moments. She will carry you through this - she will care for you now just as she always has. Her love and her compassion is powerful and I cherish every moment of our 23 years of friendship. Pinky swear. I love you, Tambo.

Amanda, Bobby, Wendy and children

Submitted by Donna Whiteman (not verified) on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 13:07.

Amanda, the letter you wrote to your Mom was the most heart warming letter I have ever read.

To all of you, I am so very sorry for your loss. Tammie always made me smile, anytime I was in her company. She always had a way of doing that. I remember having conversations with her on different occasions, and one thing I know is that she loved all of you, and Amanda, you were right in saying that she loved her Grand babies more than anything.

And...she was proud of you all. Amanda, your chidren and your brother and Wendy will get you through this, lean on them, let them lean on you because you are all you have. You know that I know what you are going through, I have been through it, and if there is anything in the world that I can do, please just ask. There is nothing anyone can say at this point to ease your pain, but knowing that there are people out there who truly do love and care about you and who are praying for you may comfort you.

Bobby, I am so very sorry, I know you loved your Mom so much. She loved you..nobody can ever take her place, try to remember all the good she had in her, and the good times that you had with her, keep those memories close to your heart and never let them go. Hold on to all you can.

Wendy, girl, I love you, and I am sorry for your loss as well, I know how you felt about Tammie. She was your 2nd MOM ! I could hear your pain on the phone and I am here anytime you need to talk, scream, yell or just simply cry. She will certainly be missed.

My heart goes out to all of you, especially her Grandchildren. They will remember her, keep pictures out, talk to your children about all the good times they had with her, remind them daily. This has been how I have kept my parent's alive in Shawn. They were all taken from us too soon, we will never know why, until the day comes we all meet them again.

I love all of you and again, anything needed by any of you, please do not HESITATE to call me.

Thoughts and prayers are with you always...

She will always live in your hearts

Submitted by Sarah (not verified) on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 10:38.

My deepest condolences to the family. Tammie and I didn't always see eye to eye,but she is the one who introduced me to her brother Tim.And because of that meeting, Tim and I have a beautiful daughter Sarah Beth. And for that, I will be forever grateful. May you all find comfort in knowing Tammie will always live in your hearts and her memory will never go away.I found this poem, that I wanted to share with you all. It brought me comfort and I pray and hope, it will bring you comfort as well. When I'm Gone
by Mrs.Lyman Hancock

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile

Forget unkind words I have spoken
Remember some good I have done
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun

Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day

Then forget to grieve for my going
I would not have you sad for a day
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay

And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best .

For the family

Submitted by Mandi (not verified) on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 10:06.

I didn't know Tammie very well, but she is my sister's aunt. I do know alot of her family. When I was little I shared my sister Sarah's family as my own. I have so many childhood memories of the couram family in it. I just wanted everyone to know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I found a poem I would like to share with everyone. I hope this helps ease some of your pain.

The Broken Cord
We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us, one by one,
The chain will link again.

To My Loving Mother, My best Friend R.I.P MOMMY

Submitted by Amanda Jennings (not verified) on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 21:19.

Mom, I can’t believe you are now in peace and with your loving family in heaven. You are the world’s strongest person as a mother, friend, co-worker and nana. Mom you were the only person I could depend on. You helped me so many times even when you didn’t want to. You are and always will be my best friend. God mom I miss you so much and I love you always and forever and a day. I so wish I could have had more time with you. Time to laugh together or just do bashing on people when we were angry with LOL LOL LOL. You are the best mother anyone could ever ask for. No one in this world could ever have been a better mother to their children than you. You always put me and Bobby first ALWAYS no matter what. Than when we grew up and had babies it made your life. You were in heaven. You loved them grand babies so much. Your 6 grand children meant the world to you. You made their happiness your life quest. I know you lived for them everyday of your life. You are the bestest NANA ever. The boys miss you so much but they know you will be watching us all. Don’t forget to watch Miss Olivia get married. That was our promise. God mom I can’t believe this is real or happening. I wish I would walk into your office and we could sit and chat and drink our coffee together. Than of course get some chicken. Mommy I love you and miss you so much. I am so lost in this world without you. You are the rock that held our entire family together. I can’t wait to be with you again when the Lord has called for me. Until than mommy know I love you with all of me and I will think of you daily. You will never be forgotten. We will meet again and you will be so proud of me to see how much I accomplished in my life before my time was called. I can’t wait to see me make you happy again. Your famous words to me "If I could switch places with you and take the pain for you I would In a HOT min". Well that’s what I am saying to you know. I love you mommy, I love you mommy, I love you mommy. Don’t miss me because I will make you so proud of me. I know you will be watching me smiling down on me for all of the good decisions I make in my life from this point forward. I lost a mother, best friend and soul mate all at once. This is so hard to understand why this was your time but only you and God know. It’s hard to understand but I know everything happens for a reason. I wish I could have had you longer and loved you longer. My love will never end for you as you are the only person that loved me unconditionally. No one can ever replace a person as good hearted as you. You gave your last dollar if someone needed it. You went out of your way to always make sure everyone else was happy and okay regardless of the price you had to pay. Missed but never forgotten I love you.

Love your Daughter,
Amanda

Tammie was my Realtor, my Boss, my Mentor, my Friend. We had an inside joke that she was the sister I never wanted. Now she will be my sister in my heart forever. She helped so many in their time of need. She made friends with everyone. I will always miss her, but I know she will always be with me.

A friend to all.......

Submitted by Bill Webb (not verified) on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 20:36.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Tammy Rushton’s death. I met Tammy a few years ago while doing a resale inspection for Valley Township. She was by far one of the nicest Realtors I had ever worked with always telling me, “just give me the list Bill and it will be done” and it did get done. I became an agent a few years ago and she wished me the best. I always found Tammy trying to help others. The Real Estate world has lost a TRUE PROFESSIONAL and we have lost a great friend. God Bless you Tammy!

Our sympathy and prayers are extended to your family. Tammie helped us buy our home just over 5 years ago in Exton. She has one of the kindest hearts I know. My husband and I are shocked and saddened by her passing. I know the Lord has called her home to be with him. I am sure you know how much she loved and cherished each of you. She was a rare treasure and she will be missed.

It is with great sadness that I read the sudden loss of Tammie Rushton. I worked with Tammie four years ago as a Realtor and was so impressed by her morals and values.

I was stunned and sad to learn of Tammie's passing. Just a few months ago Tammie reached out to me when I was caring for my terminally ill father. When I lost my Dad, Tammie offered her condolences and her help. I will never forget that and I am eternally grateful to her for her kindness and big heart. Rest in peace, Tammie. My deepest condolences to Tammie's family. She loved you all very much!

Submitted by Danielle Gallagher and Greg Swabowicz (not verified) on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 10:19.

Greg and I are so extremely saddened to hear of the death of Tammie. She helped us buy our first home, about 2 years ago, which we are still enjoying. She made first-time home-buying a cinch. We could tell that Tammie truly cared about us, and even her daughter, Amanda, brought paperwork all the way to our home to sign, one evening. Tammie had a wonderful smile and laugh and she will be forever remembered. I still kept in contact with Tammie over e-mail. She always made time for me, and we could tell she loved her job. We will truly miss her.

Great Loss

Submitted by Nicole Mammarella (not verified) on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 10:12.

Tammie was such a sweet, kind, and wonderful person and she will be greatly missed from all. Her family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers!!

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
