Here is the link to Tammy's obituary and memory book.

Will someone write up something for a special tribute page about Tammy and her work here that can be linked to?

Hi Everyone
I just wanted to be with you all, read your words together.
I wanted you all to know, without Tammy, I never would have become
part of this special family. I was extremely computer limited when JFC started,
I was reading everything, every day, but I could never manage to post myself, that is,
until Tammy called me one night to help me find my way around, my way to all of you.
She called the next night and the next. She was just there for me, she
didn't know me from Adam, yet she heard me trying to reach out to all of you, and
she helped me do it. Thanks Tammy, for bringing me to this home, for being my friend.
I'll see you after~

Anyone remember Tammy's signature.  Cissyand I were trying to remember. It went something like ' Living in the present with no worries..???" can't remember the rest?  If anyone can remember please let us know!

Anyone remember Tammy's signature. 

Her MySpace page says:

Live today and this moment as if it were your last.

I think there was "present is all we have". I wish Eccles were here to bring Tammy's credo into wider cultural context, as it relates to Tao, some theories of time, etc. Great question, Rhonda! Yes, we tend to forget, and to forget fast, although perhaps it is the way to move forward.

Deeply saddened by Tammy's passing,
I feel as though I lost a sister. a small tribute to her is on my FB and it may be the last thing I put there.
I love you my JFC family,
Peace and well wishes to you all

I cannot recall having chatted with chatangel but I see that she and actor, W. Earl Brown, shared the same hometown.

I don't remember the quote or sig-line. What I do know is that it seems right to me. (See what's in front of you, not what you want to see is how you get 13 safe-deposit boxes.") They say atoms are 99.9 percent empty space. I know I seem to spend a similar percentage of my time thinking either about the future or the past, neither of which exist the last time I checked. Sometimes I think that if we ever get to the state of being fully aware in the present moment we might wake up in Cincinnati.

"Living in the present with no worries about the future"
That's as close as I can get. It must be archived somewhere, right admins?

But you're right Eccles, that was the essence of her sig line.
I truly hope that she was in that space when she went to sleep that
night. No, I take that back. I'm choosing to believe that is the space she was in.

Very helpful to see you guys posting at the bar, painful, but it helps, no one is gone
if they are remembered, and clearly, many will remember this sister.

I've spent an hour trying to find Tammy's signature in old emails and on the web and I can't find anything other than what we already have.  I can't find her on FaceBook, maybe some one who is her friend there can see if it's on that profile?

[Sven2]

Trishah, there's nothing about Tammy's signature on hew FB page, but it looks complete to me now. We, together, figured it as best as it gets.

As Ludwig Wittgenstein said, "Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present."

And there is the problem: abstract theories are somewhat distant from the tragedies and joys of the everyday life. Can we live by them?

I find living as much as I can in the present the only truly real and non-abstract way I can be happy. Poltical theories, on the other hand, I find abstract. And fuckin' taxes. Them too.
