Tara Feldman Obituary
Independence Day Daughter
(For Tara)
Your eyes represent the innocence and the
brilliance of the Fourth of July
The innocence of the child
in wonderment at the fireworks,
The brilliance of your personality
blazing across the sky,
You are no longer limited
by the earth and it plains
You are now part of the heavens.
When I see fireworks on the Fourth of July,
I will think of you.
The innocence, openness,
and hopefulness of a child.
The brilliance of what was,
is now, and shall in the future be.
You see, you left behind three brilliant sparks
for us to marvel at (Travis, Leo, and Maya):
and they will lead us on
from where you left off.
When I look at fireworks, it is their brilliance,
and uniqueness that catch my attention,
more so than the time spent in the air.
People will remember your beautiful smile-
which has no earthly bounds.
Your presence on this planet definitely gives
us hope, and lights up the darkness-
like fireworks on Independence Day.
Love, Mom and Dad

Reflecting on her accomplishments at Brookfield Zoo, one can only speculate what great work she would have succeeded at in the following 15 years. Her legacy is also in Travis, Leo and Maya and their unfolding lives.
