I grew to like Casey, Tami, and David....they are nice people. I want the children to know that I am thinking of them. God Bless.......Anna..aka...."butterfly lady" I worked with Tami at the Cozy Inn. She was fun, caring and just a really great person. We had some really fun times together and I know that she endured so much with her illness. She was brave and courageous in her battle and she will be greatly missed by all those who knew her, my thoughts and prayers are with her children, her family and with Toad. Just know that she is no longer in pain and in a place where she will be just as loved and free from the suffering. Laurie Posted 3/26/07
