R.I.P.

Filed under: R.I.P.

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!

    God rest her beautiful soul. Even last week on Larry King, she was just as charming as she could be, given as much of a struggle as she must have been going through. She was a TRUE Christian, and loved us all, in our many diverse and varied forms — and we love her… God bless you Tammy Faye, for your kindness and good will toward us all….

    Your comments would be sooooo much more effective if you knew how to spell. Have you ever heard of SPELL CHECK? You've evidently mastered the art of drawing poop.

    I was actually just watching her on LK a couple of hours ago and it made me cry how fast she her cancer progressed, and now I come on here and see that she has passed away. It saddens me even more. It could not have happened to someone less deserving of this horrible disease. RIP Tammy Faye.

    if there is a god, she will rot in hell.
    If there is not a god, and I am sure there isn't, her life just ended and she is gone. Out. Nothing. Just a memory. A fast fading one.

    How sad. She was one brave woman. RIP Tammy, may you no longer be in pain.

  91. Steve says – reply to this

    Forget about what you think you know about her ex-husband. Tammy was a kind and loving soul.

    For example, she and Ron Jeremy became friends on the Surreal Life. She was not a hypocrite. She didn't judge people…….

    She just TRULY loved people.

    I'll miss your positive energy, Tammy Faye. I truly came to respect you from watching you on Surreal Life. I love that you showed no disrespect toward others from any race, economic status/level, those with diseases, inflictions, disabilities. You truly were a child of God. I am so glad you are no longer feeling that pain in your 'tummy' and your back. You had spunk, and you were so not only brave but so strong to do an interview the week you ending up passing away. For someone who used to make fun of you, I greatly apologize. I've had nothing but respect for you this past year or two; your faith was unstoppable, never waivered, and shone like a star from your wonderful spirit and love for God. Please rest in peace, Tammy. Do great things in heaven and please watch over us all..rich, poor, white, asian, black, hispanic, fat, tall, short…watch over all your people, please!

    I'm so sad to hear this news. I adored her since she was on Surreal Life and showed us then what a special good hearted person she really was. We all love you, Tammy! You will be deeply deeply missed.
