UPDATE sadly tammy faye passed away on july 20th

oh my gosh - i love tammy faye and as you all know sadly she has been battling inoperable lung cancer for a very long time now - tonight she stops by larry king along with her husband roe messner - a small bit of the interview aired last night and i gasped when i saw how she looks these days - poor thing is in a lot of pain but the amazing part is her spirit & faith have not been broken - i swear it's a total miracle she's still alive! she recently posted a note on her website - below is an excerpt along w/ the shocking pictures of how she looks these days - it's terribly sad but i just can't help admire her unshakable faith - she is truly an inspiration for everyone! please say a prayer for tammy and tune in tonight to see her entire interview with mr. king (watch a clip) popbytes over & out for now - much love to all as always...xxoo

i try really hard to eat and keep the food down, but sometimes, it is like my throat would just shut down on me, and the food comes right back up. so through all the prayers, i have finally gained some weight. i have gone from 60 pounds, to 65, for which i am very thankful.

i ask in great humbleness that you pray that i will be able to eat without it coming back up. i crave hamburgers and french fries with lots of ketchup! when i can eat that again, it will be a day of victory!

in closing, i want you to know that i am praying for you and your loved ones and i am believing god for complete healing. god is a healer of everything!

i will let you know when i get to eat my hamburger! ha! [read the entire letter]

That Tammy Faye is such a strong woman, I love her! I saw the clip of tonight's interview last night on Larry King and even though it broke my heart, her attitude is inspiring. What a positive, amazing woman. Big prayers going out to Tammy! xoxo

The interview shows that life is not over even when we are very sick. By putting on her makeup and looking, as best she could, like the old Tammy Faye we all knew, she gave notice to other sick people that any illness does not win until the very last breath. Everything up to that moment is about living. Perhaps with struggle and difficulty, but nonetheless living. Had she not done the interview, or put on her makeup and stayed closeted, the cancer would have won even before the actual end. Not a bad lesson for us all to learn.

God bless you Tammy, she has remained the same thru everything in her life. I truly believe there are lessons to be learned from Tammy's life and how God truly blessed her and gave her the strength to get thru all the gossip and the foul talking people. Im glad you have your peace Tammy, I pray for your health and your strength.. God has truly blessed you..

Sweet, Loving, Caring, Tammy. You are one of the strongest women I know. I know you are at peace with yourself and this world and really when you think about it, isn't that the only thing that matters in this world. I never had the chance to meet you, but I know we will meet one day in Heaven. God loves you and so do I. As I sit here with tears in my eyes, I want you to know, You are a wonderful inspiration to me and others. God bless you Tammy, and know you are muched loved.

So few Christians have a heart to love everyone, even those that hate us. Tammy Faye Messner seems to be that example.

I have just loved TF since my Mom used to make me watch PTL back in the ice age. I don't dig the right-wing Christian crazies, but Tammy Faye has always had a true heart; I could see it even then. I just tried to go to her website to give her some love, but it's down. Is there any way for all of us to let her know how loved she is?

Omg wow...

I remember not being very big on churches ... I did love theirs it was beautiful and packed with people... they drew huge crowds... I will never forget the way she laughed... she had a funny laugh... and her smile... R.I.P.... Iam sure you angels are with you...

Angel Wings (Dedicated to Tammy Faye) Her last breath was taken As her body gave up the fight No more pain No more tears Eyes closed against earths light From a rested sleep Her eyes fluttered open To behold a Biblical truth No pain, no sorrows, No cross to bare. Nothing but love, which has no weight but oh what "light" it bares To her right was an angel To her left was an angel upon Angel wings she flew Fly away, Fly away, Fly away home. For Tammy Faye's work is done...

I love you Tammy Faye. I watched you and Jim for many year on the PTL network and you always brought closer me closer to God. My prayers are with you and your family. I know you are with Jesus now and at peace. God Bless you.

Shame on you Tammy Faye for using Jesus as your pimp to make lots of money in his name. I do pray, however, that God forgives you for this and that your suffering on this Earth has bought you a place in Heaven. I did watch Larry King's show, and I feel that you were a very narcissistic person, even up to the very end. I guess you wanted people to feel sorry for you so that they would forget what kind of person you really were. What really got me was when Larry asked you what you wanted to be remembered for and you said your eyelashes. . . c'mon girl, how about your work for the Lord! May you rest in peace. I will pray for your soul.

TAMMY IS WITH JESUS CHRIST NOW. SHE WILL BE WITH HIM INTO ETERNITY. IT WAS THROUGH HER & JIM ON THE 7OO CLUB YEARS AGO THAT I FOUND MY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. SHE IS LAYING MANY CROWNS AT HIS FEET.... 2 ND TIM,4:6

I remember years ago when Tammy Faye was only known for her heavily made-up eyes, then we watched her go through the difficult times with her Husband in Prison raising her children alone, she never seemed bitter and was always so positive. It was so good to see her re-marry and seem so happy. Her appearances on Larry King showed us what she was made of, so strong, loving, caring and forgiving. Seeing her look so ill the other night on Larry King ,yet still made-up and still hopeful really impressed me. Thank you to Larry for allowing the public to see what an amazing Woman she was. My sympathy to her loving Husband,Ro and her children she was so proud of.

I remember Tammy back in the days of PTL, I always watched to see her she was considered Diva in her own way , she had the gems on the fingers and the make up of course , she was very kind and a down to earth Woman, and most of all a Child of God, may her soul rest in peace she no longer has to suffer the pain, she will be truly missed , deepest sympathy goes out to the family,

The eyelashes, the makeup, the gems, the clothes isn't what Tammy was........she was truly a Christian who had the ability to love EVEN the unlovable.....God Bless Tammy Faye.

I remember watching Tammy on PTL. My mother faithful as she was we visited,. My parents became partners. My father caught on to miss apropration of funds via his checks retuned from bank. While I no longer am in the Christian community and have choosen a different path I look at Tammy and see her strength and innocence , her having should her or her family, had Jim been a real man, never been subjected to the embarrasment the whole mess caused yet I see her just one more time before she died to put herself out there something her eyes are still showing, emotional pain yet she always did love the camera. Blessed Be to a real women still taken who knows what to her new life to rid of.

I was a lifetime member of PTL & I loved Jim & Tammy as I still do....forgiveness is key here....Tammy Faye had a deep love for people that never changed....she was a fighter & she gave untold numbers of people hope. When I think of her I smile..there is a warm place in my heart for the spunky lady. Godspeed Tammy Faye

Shame on you Jane R. I think it is really sad that you feel that you have to pass judgment on another human being, especially after their death. The real issue that you should be praying about is your soul, b/c the last time I checked God is the only RIGHTEOUS Judge. On your spare time what you need to do is read your Bible and refresh your memory about what God says about judging others instaed of worrying if Tammy made it to Heaven or not. Another thing to think about is what will people say about you after you die! I am praying for your soul.

As a gay teen in the early 1980's, I was outed to my parents. They automatically assumed I had AIDS and would infect them, my brothers and sisters. I was immediately kicked out of the family. They believed I was lost and going to hell. Then they began watching Tammy Faye on Christian television telling the world that AIDS was not God's wrath. All Christian's, especially parents, should love not hate God's gay children. God made them that way, God loves them and God does not make junk. It completely changed them. They accepted me, let me come home and became supportive, too. God spoke through Tammy Faye and for me, changed the world. I will ALWAYS Love her. God Bless You, Tammy Faye
