Thank You Tara / Tom Hull (aquaintance)
My dearest Tara, I must apologize. I took you for granted during the time we knew each other. I found that out when Michelle told me of your tragic passing. Since then I have been doing far more hurting and crying than I would have ever guessed. At first that puzzled me.
But the explanation soon became apparent. It was your ever present smile. And your happy outlook on life. Also your friendly and pleasant personality. And finally it was your character; the way you treated people and animals with courtesy and respect; and the more needy animals with love, appreciation, and compassion
Because I was not as perceptive as I should have been, you struck me as somewhat modest and unassuming. I now realize that you are one of the most remarkable, extraordinary, and special persons that I have ever known.

Can't let go / Jessica Duval (Friend/Co-worker)
Although every day my heart aches, my eyes swell with tears, and my mind races with great memories... I feel guilty... Guilty for not getting to know you better this past year... guilty for being mad at you for leaving.. I still think I hear your voice, sometimes I have to look twice at a strangers face... my heart skips a beat thinking its you, but every time it breaks knowing that it will be some time before we are together again... You are missed so much here, but I know you can see... every time I talk with Benny or your kitties I tell them you love them and your making a special place for them.... Tara I love you and miss you... Close
To My Friend / Alica Sousley (Friend/CoWorker)
Tara... all day long at work you would call me and bug me and you did it just to make my day better. I know now that when my phone rings, it's not you. I am hurting everyday without you. I am very happy that I have gotten to know you and to know how great of a person you truly were. Everyone is missing you deeply.
I will live my life to the fullest because of the inspiration Tara gave me. THANK YOU TARA! Close
Missing her / Amy Herrington (Friend & Coworker )
I can not express how sad I am about losing Tara. I'm still in a state of disbelief. She was a person who was true of heart and she lived her life the way she wanted to. Not that it was easy for her but she made the best of everything that she had and obviously inspired so many other people along the way.
Although I knew her for a couple of years, I never really got to know Tara as much as I wanted to. I think she was much deeper than any of us will know. I'm just holding on to what time I did have with her. I always had a great time with her where ever, when ever.... There will always be a spot for her in my heart and my mind. I love you Tara. Close
An Angel Amongst Us / Michelle Dormady (Friend & Boss )
Tara was truly an angel. She lived life with ambition and was happy everytime you saw her. I will cherish every memory of her for the rest of my life, I will never forget you Tara...... you were so special to so many people and we will always love you and miss you. Everyone should take lesson from Tara and enjoy the time we have here on earth as we regrettably know, life is precious and we need to be happy each and every day the way Tara was. Close
Hope/ Robert Klocke (Friend of a Friend )
I know there is nothing that can be said to make anybody feel better about this, I know this cause nothing anybody said to me made me feel better when I lost Brian a little over a year ago. The one thing that makes me feel good is that they are both with God now, we should all be so lucky. I know it hurts, and I know some people will think that's "bullshit", and how God can take such wonderful, caring, loving people out of our lives, but truth is God calls us all home when our souls are ready, they just got to what God wants before us. It's cool they still look after us. Time doesn't make it any easier, and the earthly void is never filled. Family and Friend just be there for each other, and listen to each other, and above all Love each other. God Bless, and if anyone needs an ear, or blow off stream, please E-mail me.

I hadn't known Tara for more than about 6 months, but in that short time I made a friendship that will last a lifetime. Tara was so passionate about the animals and making sure that they had all been shown love. She shared so many stories with me and we shared many laughs. Her mind was full of dreams and ambitions. Working with her was so inspiring and encouraging. I'll never forget her spirit. I will do my best to carry on the dreams and ambitious spirit that I knew about. Tara is a sparkle in my heart that I will never forget. I'm deeply going to miss her.

"MY child
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious child, Close
Lucky to know her / Jennifer Shive (friend/coworker)
I am fortunate enough to have spent Tara's last few hours with her. We had such a good time. She was so happy and full of life.
Tara made work fun and she made life seem worth living. I don't know many people who could be as positive and caring as she was. I just can't believe that she is gone. I will miss her very much. Close
To all, First know, that I feel the pain of the loss of Tara. My son was friends with Jason through the car club. He died in Sept 2004.If any one has photos of Tara that they would like posted to the site please send them to me through the link in the upper right corner of the site. They must not be bigger that 3 MB in size. Again please accept my condolences on the loss of such a beautiful woman.This world will surely not be a better place without her.
Free spirit / Cherie Cathlina (friend)
All who knew and loved Tara have experienced a loss that cannot be put into words. I am so fortunate to have been able to see and spend time with her this week. I will always remember her spirit and her laughter and her kindness. She had a way of making people feel truly welcome, and gave kindness and compassion to so many animals, some of whom may have never seen it before. She is an example to all of us and will be greatly missed. Close
