Emotionally, it’s been very draining.” In addition to her duties as a wife and mother of three young children — Joey is 10, Samantha is 7 and Alex is 19 months — Stier serves as the stewardship direc- tor at St. Therese’s Church in Shavertown. “She’s a great example of being a mother,” said the Rev. J. Peter Crynes, the church’s pastor. “She’s superb with the children. She’s always doing things with them. Tammy does a great job taking care of her family.

I told him it was like having a lump in mashed potatoes. I have spirit and I have hope that everything will be fine. In all of this, I've seen the best in human nature. I've seen true love of people for each other.” The Stiers had their first child when Tammy and Joe were 21 and 20 years old, respectively. But Tammy says she’s never re- gretted becoming a mother at an early age. “I've always taken my role as a mother very seriously,” she said. “When I was pregnant, other peo- ple my age were going out at nights and having all kinds of fun. Having my first child formed me into being what I am today. There’s no greater cause than be- ing a mother.” & ricirieioioinoioioioieoioioioiooioioioboioiob-okoiokobok © OK, Your Jeep Vehicle Needs Servicing Or Repair... Where Do You Go?
