Tim, I am so sorry for your loss, I just can't think of the word to say at this time. Tamara will definitely be missed by each and everyone. She was a very good person to work with.
Linda Byers - Former Supervisor
A life taken much too soon. Dr. Bogan set the bar for any inspector with a dream to become more by working her way through grad school to become a veterinarian. Her love for animals spilled over into her work as she remained dedicated to the humane handling and welfare for all animals. Her presence has been missed but her life will be remembered. Thoughts and prayers for her husband and fur babies left behind.
