WALDRON —

On the edge of Kansas’ windswept prairie, near a nondescript grave, sits the most recent token of affection.

It’s a tube of lip gloss.

Since her death on July 20, 2007, fans and friends of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner occasionally make pilgrimages to where the ashes of the Christian television celebrity were laid to rest. There, they leave the types of cosmetic items – lipstick, mascara – that helped give Tammy Faye her distinctive look.

She found multiple ways to remain in the public's eye and never really changed from it.

And she died the very next day if I am not mistaken. Probably took every bit of her strength and willpower to do this last interview given her physical state.
RIP
Cancer sucks..........

i don't have a heck of a lot of sympathy for tammy fay or other similar televangelists... but that final interview made me really sad for her.

but then without her (or her former husband's) antics, we wouldn't have gems like this: https://screen.yahoo.com/church-chat-jim-tammy-faye-000000956.html

If you haven't seen it.. you should check out the documentary on her " the eyes of Tammy Faye" it was fascinating to me and I had a bit of a soft spot for her.

Doesn't he still owe millions in back taxes? If so I can understand him hawking the survival food.
