A Christian. An evangelist. An entrepreneur. An author. A talk show host. An icon.Tammy Faye has been many things in her life. From the PTL Club scandal to ‘The Surreal Life’ to her battle with cancer, the 65-year-old preacher’s daughter has always had a resilience and perseverance that’s kept her in the hearts and minds of America.
As Tammy makes her final passage in life, she’s dedicated a note on her website to her many fans across the world. It’s truly lump-in-the-throat inducing.
My Dear Faithful Friends,
Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, 4th of July and several birthdays of family and friends. Envelopes have become separated, or they are still in piles all over the place to send as yet. I have been on so much medication, so many have been trying to help with thank-you notes……I don’t know. Thank you for the rooms full of flowers, the tables full of cards, and beautiful little gifts laying everywhere. Thank you so much! I know I have missed so many gifts I should have sent for these special occasions. And then, trusting God to heal my sick stomach. Please try to understand.
The doctors have stopped trying to treat the cancer and so now it’s up to God and my faith. And that’s enough! But please continue to pray for the pain and sick stomach.
My precious daughter, Tammy Sue, and her wonderful friends are staying with me while Roe builds churches. They don’t want me falling down the stairs. I am down weight wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow. I need God’s miracle to swallow.
To those of you who are suffering as I…..”don’t give up”!! Make up your mind you’re going to LIVE !! That is NOT EASY! The path gets so long. I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of “feeling great”. You see, God gives out his promises, they do not lie, they do not fail. We do not have to BEG him for them, they are FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You CAN make it!
Love Tammy Faye

That is so sad! Anyone battling this kind of illness everyday breaks my heart.

Does this mean she is dead?

That’s so sad…

She has really put a fight. I will keep her in my prayers and hope for a peaceful death.

Amazing. When someone announces that they are ill or dying, people pour out pseudo-sympathy and “prayers.” Yet everyday day you are on here tearing others apart.
Sympathy for the dying. Only venom for those alive.

I never disliked her- I am truly sad for her.

It was nice to log on and not see a crotch shot or see another celebmaking an ass of themself.
Tammy Faye’s letter really is humbling… I wish her well as she makes her passage…

Tammy Faye is such a sweet little lady and she genuinely seems very kind and sincere.
I hope she truly has peace now and in the hereafter….
