Tammy Faye's Message of Hope


Tammy Faye Messner may be battling stage four colon cancer, but she wants her fans to hear some encouraging news: she’s gaining weight.

After her weight plummeted to a dangerous 60 pounds, Tammy Faye wrote on her website that doctors have stopped trying to cure her deadly disease.

But in a new letter on her website, a brave Tammy Faye revealed she recently gained five pounds.

“I have finally gained some weight,” she wrote. “I have gone from 60 pounds, to 65, for which I am very thankful.”

She said, “In closing, I want you to know that I am praying for you and your loved ones and I am believing [in] God for complete healing. God is a healer of EVERYTHING!”

She ends the note cheerfully, saying, “I will let you know when I get to eat my hamburger! HA!"

Tammy, well, I’m only 17 but when I first saw you on The Surreal Life, I instantly became attached to your michievious humor and acceptance to all people. This morning, when I heard on the news about your death, my heart sank…I wish I could have visited your site more often to know how ill you were just to pray, God knows one more prayer could have made a difference. I genuinely miss you, and we all loved you for you! I guess God knew that you had done all that you could do here and wanted you to be with him in heaven…besides, he knew how much you wanted that hamburger and those french fries flooded with ketchup! Enjoy!

And tonight, I will pray for you…promise.

Dearest Tammy Faye
With tribulations won,
Your walking with out precious Lord
All earthly battles done.

Thankyou for that smile of yours
That never seemed to end. You never meet a stranger
You didn’t called a friend.

We will miss you, this is true
But, we comfort ourselves with this
Your in the arms of Jesus and
Surrounded by those you’ve missed.

Goodbye Tammy.

Tammy,

I am praying for you. I had cancer. I know I had it in 7/2004, but it was not diagnosed unil 9/2005. I was down to skeletal or scare crow size, from DD to B cup bra and from 16 to barely an 8. The pain was excruciating and I could not sit up for more than three minutes at a time. I needed a pillow to sit on and one to prop up on my side in the car. I don’t understand why and I have a “permanent ostomy”. I hate this as I feel I will never have a husband now, however, I just hate it anyway. Please contact Creflo Dollar at World Changers Church International, Atlanta, GA and please get Rowe to get you Gloria Copeland’s Healing CD and keep it playing in the background. Even though I live in the Atlanta area I never contacted Creflo but my sister, who lives in TN, sent me Gloria Copeland’s CD. I know I have been cured of this disease and I am praying for you. Flood your mind with this CD and only agree that you are healed. I know you have much more Christian experience than I do but please do this. you can e-mail me at mg1mt@yahoo.com and call me at 678-368-0226. I used to live in Asheville, NC and had planned to come to try and visit you in NC, however, I see you have moved to MO, Rowe’s homestate, I belive your web page said. I don’t say good luck, because I don’t believe in luck, I say GOOD BLESS, GOD BLESS! PLEASE CALL SO I CAN PRAY WITH YOU.

When I was young, lonely, frustrated and misunderstood, I would sing to myself “We are Blessed, we are blessed, we are ble…..sssed”. Your song was an inspiration to me and kept me company.
Thank you for that.

We all change Tammy. From everything I see in you, you have changed to a true and understanding Christian (open minded/becoming friends with Ron Jeremy etc…) and you radiate more now than EVER before.

You are already one with all… I love you Tammy. ~jeff

Dear Mrs.Tammy

You are an amazing woman…you amaze the rest of us with how strong your fath is…I didnt think anyone had faith like that now a days.

Im so sorry that you are in so much pain…but I know God will not make you suffer and when he needs your help in heaven he will bring you home.

Thank you for doing ‘The Surreal Life’ I learned about a woman I never knew.

God Bless you Mrs.Tammy…you truly are one of the most beautiful angels I’ve ever seen

Dear Tammy, I’ve watched you for years, and I know you to be a believer. You must believe all of the word of God, Ezekiel l8:32 says that The Lord God has no pleasure in the death of one who dies, therefore turn and live!! What do you turn from? This bad REPORT, believe the report of the Lord, His report says YOU ARE HEALED. Stop taking the toxins the doctors are giving you, they have not helped and they will not cure. God has provided food to be medicine for us. Flood your body with nutrition through RELIV SHAKES AND YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND TO NUTRITION. Go to www. Reliv. Com and check it out. We have many testimonies of what these products have done for people with cancer. I’M PRAYING FOR YOU. GOD BLESS. DON’T TAKE THIS MESSAGE LIGHTLY.

Dear Tammy,
I wish you all the best, i’m sorry you have to go thru this battle, but i believe god doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. I lost my mom to lung cancer in April of 2007, and there isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t talk to her and cry about her. I miss her sooooo much, i miss her voice on the phone or in person.I always tell myself shes up in heaven looking out for us, and i know you will be doing the same thing. you will always be in my thoughts and my prayers. We all love you. God Bless You Tammy

I respect and admire you so much. You have lifted so many souls and I thank you for that, I really do. You have given me a more positive outlook on life and have given me hope in ways I never knew was possible. My prayers will forever be with you. You will forever be in my heart.

Tammy Faye, “Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limits of our sight.” Let’s meet again. You will leave in peace and with God by your side, forever and ever, amen
