With deepest sympathy, looking forward to a time when “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4. I am so sorry for your loss.

May the many memories of this great lady be a blessing for Howard, the Selden family, her sisters and Tamara’s many friends. Tamara touched my life in many ways. Tamara invited me to join AAUW and she welcomed me to her home. We shared many wonderful conversations and we enjoyed playing Scrabble together. It was sad to watch the decline of this vibrant and loving woman. I am proud to have known Tamara, and I will cherish the memories of our friendship for years to come.
