Our 1000 Feathers family lost a beautiful, kind, and loving soul in January of 2021. Tameka Bell was a part of the 1000 Feathers team since day one and worked alongside Forrest and Cayci for more than 10 years, dating back to their time together at the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Tameka was much more than our colleague; she was a dear friend for many, many years. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with her parents, siblings, family, and friends; like us, each of them undoubtedly created bonds that were strong and love that will last forever. No matter how long or short your time with Tameka on this earth was, if your paths crossed, you know just how special she was. We think of her often and continue to miss her grace, commitment, passion, humor, and southern charm – Tameka spoke “fluent McCormick” and would never let you forget it. Her smile would light up a room, her presence calming even in the most trying times, and her ability to keep Forrest grounded and in his place was unlike any other. While we miss her terribly, Tameka will forever and always be a part of our team and our family.
