She got ragged on all the time in the eighties, but from what I saw of her in the documentary "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," she seemed to be a genuinely good person. Sorry to hear that she passed on. RIP, indeed.

She, along with Johnny Cash, was a very rare example of a person who has a deep faith in God, yet doesn't judge others. RIP.

Her husband was convicted of stealing millions from his PTL followers. She was never convicted.

She did come off very likeable on Surreal Life.

Yeah, it looks like later in her life, she actually improved herself. Seemed to be genuinely nice towards the end.

RIP

Tammy Faye rules! I was very sad to hear of her passing. She seemed to have learned from her life lessons and given back. A lot of us could learn something from that.
