So sorry for this loss to our family. I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan so their was not a lot of interaction with Tabitha over the years. I will talk about the last time I spent with her. It was my great grandson's birthday party. I got to met all her children and grandchildren. I can tell you we had a lot of laughter and fun that day. We all played apples to apples and laughed until our guts hurt. I remember her at the kitchen sink cleaning up and doing dishes. We had a joyful houseful that day. A great memory I will always have of her.
She has left behind a great legacy of children and grandchildren. No one can take away the pain these children are facing. Try to support each other. And take joy in the good memories you have of her. The only thing we take with us is our memories. She has great ones of her children and grandchildren. Her life was a complicated one as most of us in this family has. Take comfort in the love that she received in her lifetime. Take care Aunt Sally. My husband sends his condolence. Our hearts are with you all.
To her parents, nothing prepares you for this kind of loss. We are so sorry for what you are going through. Sally and Dick.

Tabitha truly had an indomitable spirit. She spoke confidently of her love for Jesus and His love for her. In spite of life's battles, she held fast in that knowledge. Two weeks ago, she introduced me to her young daughter as "her special lady" and I say with no reservation, Tabitha will always be "my special lady. " May His love for you more than meet your needs now and forevermore.

Tabitha was always so sweet to me. She loved her family and always made me feel like a Zimmerman. She would always call me Cuz, and was just real sweet. It break my heart she suffered so much. May she rest in peace and may her children take the fierceness she embodied and make a grand life for themselves. God Bless all of you:hearts:

I am saddened to know that my childhood friend has passed away. Even as a young girl, Tabitha was loyal, kind, and resilient. We kept in touch via Facebook and she always mentioned her family. She loved them dearly, and I will always cherish the memories we shared on Mershon St.

Tabitha was such a fire cracker.I remember when she was a little girl and we had queens day at a hotel with her and my other nieces and my 2 daughters. We rented a suite and the girls were all giddy with excitement. Tabby was the one fixing their hair and doing the make up. We had pretty pajamas and fake champagne in fancy glasses and we all felt like the we were royalty. Tabby was the funniest one and kept us laughing the whole time. I have always cherished this memory and all the fun we had together. Now she is with her favorite Aunt Suzy and they are probably already making tacos for the rest of the clan up there. Rest in peace my honey girl.
