My son was at this scene and said her car went flying past them on 77 and he and his friends witnessed this accident.
I had to call him and deliver this news and he really feels bad for this lady but was surprised she was listed as being 45 cause he said she looked 23.
Lets all take time to pray for Tammy and her family.
The reason why she was driving so fast may never be known but let this be a lesson to all others, it is better to drive slow and miss the party then to drive fast and not make it at all!

Let's not rush to judgement there was no party she was going home from work
Tammy her husband Tim and two boys Chris and Andrew are dearly loved friends of mine and my families.
Let's set the record straight she was driving irratickly because she either had problems with diabetes or a heart attack we'll never know.
I do know that all the prayers are welcome and my family and many other families are gonna sadly miss her because she was a wonderful person and mother.

I was coming home from work and came to a complete stop on 76 that night. My heart went into my throat when I saw all of the policemen and flares. I prayed for who that was for I knew it was a bad accident. I am grateful to Tammy's friend for posting what happened to her. I am still very shook up over the accident and I will keep her family in my prays always. I ask that they will find strength as they move forward in their lives and that they will continue to enjoy the things that Tammy enjoyed for she would want them to be happy. Celebrate her life.
