A mother’s end of life cost Tamara Blanchard

On Tuesday April 19th 2022 at 10:00 am Tamara Suzanne Blanchard ,58yrs from Louisville Kentucky was survived by her only daughter Kelli Gadlage 36, and 2 grandkids. She was an innocent bystander just starting her morning like every morning, like she has been doing for the past four years. While waiting on her 10 o’clock bus to go start another work day. At 9:58am she is texting back and forth with with a friend. Not knowing that the next two minutes, her life is getting ready to end. A vehicle speeding down market Street (30mps) loose control of vehicle, swerving into oncoming traffic, runs up on sidewalk and strikes Tamara. He was backing up to leave the scene of the crime and hit another vehicle causing more injuries to another person. Driver has no Drivers license, insurance, or registration on this vehicle..

Tamara was basically dead on scene due to impact. Both legs and arms broken, bleeding and swelling to the brain.

Within the pass two years she lost her sister, brother and lost her best friend her mother. Tamara was so excited for her future. She just got a new apartment that she went out and bought new furniture and watching her eyes light up as she talked about how she planned to decorate it. She had the biggest heart where she would give you the shirt off her back, give you her last dollar if you needed it. No one had anything bad to say about her. She never meet a person that didn’t like her. 

I pray that I get to honor her end of life wishes in a burial and not cremated. 

please share this story, please donate whatever you can even if it’s $5, so that Kelli get her mother laid to rest and say goodbye.
