Tammy Faye Mesner has passed away at the age of 65.

After fighting a very brave fight with inoperable lung cancer, her poor little body - which whittled down to just 65 lbs recently - could finally not fight any more. She let go on Friday. Her body has been cremated already and buried.

Just this past week, Tammy Faye appeared on Larry King Live. She said that she was in constant pain but had no fear of death. Even at her lowest point, her faith was unshakable.

Our heart is sad, but we are glad that she is no longer in pain.

You're in God's hands now, Tammy Faye.

Shine bright, angel!

      Tammy Faye was the shining example of what it means to be a Christian. She will be missed!

      I wanted to share this here too….

      "When I was going through the worst moments of my life—and I'm going to cry and I'm not apologizing—but it was the gay community, not the Christians, that surrounded me with love and cared for me, and took care — did everything for me. They came to my aid, where the Christians wouldn't associate with me anymore."

      Tammy,rest in peace and look up my dad up in heaven(he was a chef and made awesome cheeseburgers). To the assclowns who are being so hateful I sincerely hope that you or your loved ones never have to suffer through cancer and then have some dumbfuck say horrible things like you are. Get a fucking life.

      Rest in peace Tammy. I am so fond of you. I have so much respect and admiration for you. You were an angel among us. You always seemed to me to be such a sweet, kind, loving person. I am very sad that you are no longer with us but I know that you are now with God, smiling down on us. You will forever be missed and never forgotten.

      I always found Tammy to be a calm in the storm of the "religious right". She understood that it is a fight between love and compassion and intolerance. Tammy never judged anyone–unfortunately that can't be said of a lot of our "leaders" today. I think Tammy understood the most important passage in the bible–concerning judging others lest you be judged. I am happy that her spirit soars—no longer constrained by the pain that her physical body endured. Alll of you writing nasty comments just consider for one moment the pain she went through–and the peace she has finally found. May you also!!

      Does no one have a memory? I do. My grandmother lost her life savings by "buying into" the idiot scammers of all time, Jim & Tammy Faye Con Artists. If she's truly dead, then she deserves the same piece of hell she put my grandmother through. She and Jimmy lied and lied. You say she was a nice person. Of course she was. She was flying high on everyone else's money and living in great comfort. She suffered at the end? Good! Maybe she'll get time off from that — only if Satan is in a giving mood.

      Tammy Faye had sooooo many challenges in her life and met them all with a smiling face, a positive attitude and unwavering faith.

      One of my coworkers asked why she appeared on TV looking so bad? I explained that she genuinely loved her fans and genuinely cared about them and she drew strengh through their love and prayers.

      She was also a gleaming example of the way true christians should be — accepting and loving of others, despite their faults.

      She said when she dies, she’s was going straight to Heaven — of that, I have no doubt!

      Rest in Peace, Tammy.

      You’ll be truly missed!

      When I saw Tammy-Fay on the Surreal Life, I was awed by her sweet personality, her unshakable faith and her general good-naturedness.
      I was so sad when I saw her on Larry King Live, and knew she was not much longer for this world. If anyone is going to heaven, it will be TammyFay. May she rest in peace. Godspeed her soul to heaven.

      Tammy Faye was one of the few to run the gauntlet of celebrity in this country of late who gave back more than she got. At first glance, we as a country saw a comic country clown married to another hypocritical fraud minister. Tammy was an honest and true soul wrapped in a superficial package. God bless Tammy Faye.

      1st
      ANYONE who is BOLD enough to use GOD to manipulate millions of people -especially the weak minded and poor out of all there money-while she sits there batting her flase mink eyelashes, and expensive ass mink coats, and limo service wherever she wishes to go IS THE DEVIL HerSELF. Yes there is a GOD and Tammy hopefully is in hell paying for eluding all Gods faithfull followers.
      ROT IN HELL -SATAN'S BRIDE. It is REALLY why she suffered so much. God never sleeps.

      661

      You people are insane. She ripped off millions. Got caught. Bailed on her husband/partner in crime. Corrupted her own faith. Bashed gays in the process and then sucked up to them when she became a twisted pop icon! She's lucky she never went to prison. She wanted to stay in the spotlight so badly, she gladly played the fool. Still don't get the whole gay love-thing for her. Maybe now all of the freako-queens can adopt Jack Van Impe's crypt-keeper of wife next!

      #652 "Tammy Faye was one of the few to run the gauntlet of celebrity in this country of late who gave back more than she got."

      How long has your head been up your ass? Did she give back even a fraction of the $120 MILLION dollars she and her husband stole from their followers? No she didn't. She lied through the entire scandal up until her deservedly painful death.
