It's tough to slam someone that dies, so I'll just mention that she'd been ill for quite some time.  I also learned that the guy she married after divorcing Jim was also arrested for some financial shenanigans.  I wonder if that's what the attraction was.

RIP T.F.B.

and lauded her for having a change or heart about issues dealing with being more inclusive of lifestyles that are not usually embraced by evangelical Christians.

If anyone else has 411 on this, I'd love to know more about it.

to my thread on the pol/rel board, which has a link to the article about her death.

I saw her on that VH1 reality show (I forget the name of it) and it totally changed my view of her. I really liked her after that show, even though we probably didn't agree on a lot of stuff.

and seeing her hug Ron Jeremy was indeed surreal!!!

Tammy was a strong lady and I remember seeing her on TV about a month ago talking about her illness and how tiny she had become . Many years ago when she and Jim were together   I remember meeting her at  TJ Maxx in Charlotte NC . She was a real sweet lady with a beautiful heart . We all fail in some parts of our lives at some point but it is how we pick ourselves up that matters .
RIP TFB

Any death is tragic!  But please before we all start sobbing please remember what she did.  She had an Air-Conditioned Dog House!!!!!! and a VERY opulent lifestyle all financed by people who REALLY believed in GOD.  Her and her husband were con-artists.  No ifs, ands, or buts, about it.  They were predators among people who were true believers.
