Good Bye Tammy Faye

Tammy Faye Bakker/ Messner died on Friday of last week. I became a fan and an admirer of Tammy Faye when I saw her on the second season of the “Surreal Life”. I thought that Tammy Faye would be waving the Bible and spouting out religious messages to everybody, especially Ron Jeremy the porn star. Instead Tammy Faye was very excepting and friendly with everyone especially Ron Jeremy. If Tammy Faye wasn’t in agreement with an activity, she didn’t put others down or go quoting the Bible as to way they shouldn’t do it. She just didn’t participate in that activity. Just shows you can judge a person from a label the media puts on them or what you might even conceive at first glance.

When Tammy Faye found out that she had cancer, her believe keep her strong and hopeful. Even when she realized that she wasn’t going to win her fight with this disease, her fear wasn’t for herself, her fear was for her friends and loved ones who she knew would grieve her passing and feel the pain of her lose in their lives and I became even more of an admirer.

Incase you missed it, I have embedded Tammy Faye’s last interview with Larry King here from YouTube. When you watch it you can’t help but to like this lady and wish here well.

I really wish Tammy Faye could have won her fight with cancer, she was one of the really, really good people. And that says it all.
