Letter from Tammy Faye
A very sad letter from Tammy Faye regarding her health is on her website today. "I am down weight wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow," she writes, after saying the doctors have stopped treating her cancer. "I need God's miracle to swallow." Does she know she is God's miracle? (t/y Popbytes)

I used to watch you every day on PTL, & it was wonderful, esp. when you cooked & talked about shopping @ K Mart. I thought some of your rings were a bit much, but you made my day. I know Jesus lives in your heart, & no matter what the outcome of this cancer is, you will one day be with Him, as will all of us who love & trust in Him. I will keep you in my prayers, & know that your love & your spirit has touched the lives of millions of people. God bless you.......

Sister Tammy, I am praying for your total healing, which we know our LORD God Almighty can do in a nanosecond if He wills it. Otherwise, I look forward to talking to you in Heaven. We will both be going to Heaven at God's perfect appointed time. Remember Psalm 139:16 about how all of our days have been ordained before one of them is even lived. So whatever God's Timetable for you, I am lifting you up in prayer for your peace. God bless you sister. Can't wait to meet you in Heaven. Love, Kathryne

I have followed your walk with our dear lord and savior over the years, and the one blessing that came out of your trials is that you never stopped relying on our Lord Jesus. You overcame so much. You have regained my full trust and loyalty and I believe in my heart that you will rejoice and overcome your cancer. Tammy Faye, my deepest and sincerest heartfelt prayer goes out to you. You are loved so much more than you will ever know and you are looked upon as a righteous blessed leader in our society. Downfalls make us stronger and some of us more determined to spread the love of the lord and you are one of the strongest people that I have ever known. My heart is with you and your family. Your faith is stedfast and firm. Because you know that you know that you know GOD IS ALIVE and in you as he is in me.
I love you Tammy, in Jesus name.

Miss Tammy Faye,
I would love it if you included me as one of the millions out here who love you and pray for your healing. You are so refreshing and authentic, something that seems to be rare these days. Every time I see your little sweet face, I smile. May God hold you close, young lady. We all love you! Beverly
-- Beverly Pullen | May 9, 2007 8:20 PM
Tammy,
I want you to know what a great inspiration you have been to me. When I was in my early twenty's I didn't know Jesus, and really didn't care to. Then one day I turned on PTL and my whole world changed. I watched you and saw how much you loved Jesus, and I also saw how much Jesus loved you. Your were a little kooky and I loved it. I realized that I didn't have to be perfect to be a Christian. I found myself wanting what you had, a real relationship with Jesus Christ. You made me realize that Jesus loves me, really loves me just as I am. Amazing.! I am almost 50 now, and still walking with Jesus. Thanks!!!!
You are a wonderful inspiration to millions of people, don't you dare give up. Jesus Loves you and so do I.

Tammy,
When people made fun of you and talked about your makeup I loved the way you responded. Any old barn looks better with paint! You are a unique child of God that can never be replaced. I love you and pray God will take you home soon so the suffering will end. My heart goes out to Jaime and Tammy Sue as this is a very difficult time for them too. I saw you witness to Larry King everytime you were on his show. Someday I think his eyes will be open and you can interview him in heaven. Your have lived as a faithful servant never wavering in your faith and a great example to all whose lives you have touched. What a wonderful legacy. To have had you as a friend would be a great honor. Your beautiful voice will be singing praises in Heaven. Oh how I loved to hear you sing on PTL. And yes, I loved Jim too. Your hearts were always in the right place and people know you were sincere and not a fake or phoney. What you saw was the real Tammy Faye. God Bless you and thank you for brightening my days with the PTL show and any other show you were a guest on. I never missed a one.

Dearest Tammy: I love you soo much! I have loved you since I was a child. Throughout all my years of ministry and all your struggles I have always prayed for, defended, and loved you and your family. Know one knows but other ministers what you have gone through. Your music has always encouraged me especially the song "We're blessed, we're blessed, we're blessed"! I know your spirit is genuine and full of love. May God Strengthen You! --Pastor Ken

Dear Tammy,
My prayers are with you girl. You will never know how many times your name has crossed my lips over the past 18 months. You see, in January 2006 I had a horrific accident at the hands of a madman behind the wheels of a vehicle that left me literally crushed. I had to depend on everyone around me for everything. There were times that it just got to be too much, it was those times that I would have what I would call my "Tammy Faye" moment. I would cry, pray, wail, pray, then gather the strength to go on! I have told everyone, and explained to everyone who didn't know what a Tammy Faye moment was. You are a Testimony girlfriend! God Bless You. I would welcome the opportunity to speak to you. Please feel free to contact me. Your sister in Christ, Alene

Was just wondering about her the other day, and the last message on her website was from '06. Sorry to hear the treatments were stopped but glad she's still putting up a fight. Tammy Faye is a special lady.
