To the Malachi Family
I was sadden to hear of Tabby passing. Tabby had a gentleness about her and she was always smiling. Family just know God will bring you through this time and times to come. My memory of her is every time we greeted one another she would say “I love you” with and a hug and the same when we parted.
May God who made both the heavens and the earth and gave them to us to govern our lives that same God who gave us Tabby who enriched our lives to him we say thanks. May the peace of God be with you forever.
So sorry to learn of Tabby’s passing.
May it comfort our hearts knowing she is at peace with our lord and savior.

A dear heart I was fortunate to meet at Chandler School for Women in Boston, MA. A beautiful soul with a quite, gentle, pleasant personality and who could be so funny at times. My condolences to the family. May our God sustain you through this time we mourn and celebrate the life that Tabby lived. My prayers and thoughts are with you and the family as we learn to live on without her presence in our lives. She will, however, remain in our heart and our thoughts .
Our hearts are grieved to learn of Tabby’s passing. Our prayers go out to her children and church family. Tabby was a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit. All who knew her loved her GREATLY!. Our family is no exception.
