  RIP: Our Sweet Sydney [Updated]

  by Tammy on June 16, 2019

  I have some very sad news to share about our wonderful Sydney. She went over the rainbow bridge Saturday morning. I’ve been sharing with you on Instagram and Twitter the amazing pictures of Sydney. I had that photo session as I knew that her time was limited because of her health challenges. She was a two-time cancer survivor and last summer she had a stroke and then we discovered kidney issues. But the issue that arose Saturday was one none of us expected. What I learned was Sydney was suffering from pericardial effusion, a condition in which a large amount of fluid collects in the sack that surrounds the heart. Sydney had become unable to walk, her breathing was labored,...

• The Victims of the Orlando Islamist Terror Attack

  by Tammy on June 13, 2016

  49 innocents were murdered. That number may increase with over 50 hospitalized. We have identified them, but police are releasing names only after family has been notified. Here’s who we know so far. May they all rest in peace. In their names, let us focus on the truth and act on the reality of what they faced at that club. The attempts to politically obscure the hell they went through is itself obscene. Wemake sure their deaths are not in vain. A GoFundMe page has been started for the victims and families. Via ABC 7 New York. Edward Sotomayor Jr., 34 years old Stanley Almodovar III, 23 years old Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22 years old Kimberly Morris, 37 years old...
