All of Tara's family:
I am so sorry this did not end the way we all wanted it to but know how many people care. Although I followed this from Pennsylvania I never gave up hope myself that this beautiful girl would return safe.
May Tara rest in internal peace forever.
With profound sympathy to all of her family.
