Our family is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Tammy Faye. She lived her life like the song she sang, “If Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Lemonade.”
My heart aches for my two children, Jamie Charles and Tammy Sue, who loved their Mother dearly. They both told me their Mom was so full of life that it is hard to believe she is gone.
Tammy Sue stayed by her Mother’s side, caring for her 24 hours a day for the last year, and Jamie Charles spent as many days with his Mother as possible, taking her out to eat or shop until her death.
Tammy Faye’s deep faith in God has kept her throughout her life as well as during these last days of her life. In her last 48 hours she shared her faith in Jesus Christ on worldwide television with millions of people.
She is now in Heaven with her Mother and Grandmother and Jesus Christ, the one who she loves and has served from childhood. That is the comfort I can give to all who loved her.
God’s Word declares of heaven; “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone," Revelation 21:4.
This is the hope of our family.
