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!

    I CANT BELIEVE THAT I NOBODY ELSE CAUGHT THIS: I saw her on Larry K and she did say that "she was a little afraid" and she also made a really great comment about how she did know that she would be going strait to heaven that was very humorous and touching. I just thought that I should mention this b/c it is inaccurate.

    315

    Those a**holes who want to characterize Tammy as some sort of fraud that ripped off people just don't get it. She was never anything but sincere about her faith, and may have made naive decisions that resulted in the fiasco of PTL, but she was a sweetheart, not a fraud. Kudos to Perez for a sweet send-off to a sweet woman. She was sincere and beautiful in her way. May she rest in peace, and best wishes to her children Jamie & Tammy Sue.

    326

    It's said that our heaven, or hell, is wherever we think we deserve to be at our passing. I have no doubt Tammy's enjoying her burger and fries as we weep. The world's loss is definitely heaven's gain. RIP my friend.

    Perez you should really change the site so that people have to be registered users before they can comment so assholes like nok can get deleted or blocked.This ass(NOK) is the DEVIL why would you say those things and keep coming back with different names?!!I thought it was her husband that ripped people off?!!!

    she is truly an angel. im sorry she had to suffer through cancer. i hope she's a lot happier now.

  41. Madrigaal says – reply to this


    341

    This woman was proof positive that Christian didn't have to equal homophobic yahoo. Sure, she was out there. Yes, she had probematic taste in men (both still owe the IRS for unpaid taxes from back in the '80's). She looked LOVELY at the end of The Eyes of Tammy Faye (I know that's shallow, but who doesn't want our supporters to look great).

    Seeing her this week looking so frail was really sad. I am glad she's not suffering any more.

    G*d bless you, Dear Heart,

    May your soul know peace, and remember to ask where they put Falwell.

    I was never a fan of hers, but admired her grace under excruciating circumstances. Her faith was inspirational.

  43. Valerie says – reply to this

    Very sad news. :-( Rest in peace, Tammy Faye, we will miss you.

  47. Mary says – reply to this


    347

    There is no God. She and her husband took advantage of so many (stupid and innocent) people. Yes, while it is sad when someone dies - it is life. There is no heaven. There is no God. She is dead and that is that. I'll eat a big fat hamburger and some fries for her tomorrow. At least she isn't suffering anymore. Thank goodness for that.

  48. Cathy says – reply to this


    348

    Tammy Faye was an inspiration and she will be missed. She is in a better place. My heart and prayers go out to her family. May she rest in peace.

  49. Ashleigh says – reply to this


    349

    Aw, thats so sad. While I am not a religious person, esp. when it comes to evangelists, she was a kind and caring woman who accepted all for who they were. At least she is no longer in pain and wherever she may be, hopefully enjoying that big tasty hamburger she had been dreaming of.

    RIP Tammy Faye

    350

    Tammy Faye, you were an original and I am heartbroken to hear of your death. You did an amazing job under extreme difficulty in raising your children. They are a reflection of you and you were so very proud of both of them. Shine on, wonderful lady, shine on.

    354

    I grew up in a church that shared the values of PTL and Jim Baker. When everything happened with PTL and Jim and Tammy, my pastor reminded all of us what a lovely woman Tammy Faye was, and that we should keep her in our prayers. It took me several years to truely see what he meant……..but, she has always been a woaman of strengnth and beauty and I admire her so much!!!! She had love for our LORD and was never ever ashamed to show it!
    And, by the way, my pastor amd many people I know, went to school with her at Central Minnesota Bible College. WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE HER AS ONE OF OUR OWN…A CHRISTIAN AND A MINNESOTAN. GOD REST HER SOUL!!!

    :( That totally sucks! She had a message to everybody on Larry King where she said something like "I love you all and I'm praying for you all and can't wait to rejoice with you in heaven". I cried. I'm such a fucking wuss.

    Hope you're having a great weekend Perez! You looked hot on Nightline. :)

  65. God Bless Her! says – reply to this


    365

    It is so sad to see people that have no faith and think she still has to pay for what happened years ago. That is why God sent Christ to grant us forgiveness and give us peace. We need more people like her. Those that can love the Lord uncondtionally and who also can die with a clean heart with no judgment, hatred, only love for ALL people. We should all learn from her and rejoice on her homecoming in Heaven.

    366

    GOD BLESS HER SOUL. SHE ALWAYS SEEMED SO UPBEAT EVEN IN HER DARKEST HOURS. SHE HAD FAITH AND LOVE FOR THE LORD AND IT SHINED THRU TILL THE END. BLESS YOU TAMMY FAYE. YOU ARE HOME WITH YOUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. SAY HELLO TO MY DADDY WHO WENT HOME TO BE WITH HIS PRECIOUS SAVIOUR MARCH 2005. HE WAS A NEW BABE IN CHRIST AND YOU COULD SEE IT IN HIS FACE, JUST AS YOU COULD SEE CHRIST IN TAMMY'S FACE. GOD BLESS AND BEST WISHES TO HER FAMILY.

    I cannot and do not understand how all of you hating homophobic fucker's are wasting your time on this site. Do you somehow get off on bashing Perez, Tammy Faye or anything or anyone else that you despise? Fuck all of you hard in the ass with your mother's black dildo. This is a forum for a true lady who DIED. Get it assfuck's? No, you don't. What a shame. Go back to junior college in the fucking valley. Maybe you'll catch a clue. RIP TF.

    I can remember watching Tammy Faye and Baker show back in the 1970's, only because they were so bizarre and fake. Alot of things came out about the two of them when Baker got busted and went to prison. I grew to respect Tammy Faye though and realized she was a good person. Bless her soul!
