Lily Marie Tarkowski

I love you Lily.

You have my deepest sympathy and prayers in the death of your dear daughter, Lilly. I have worked at Garber H.S. as a substitute teacher; I always found Lilly to be a great person and a welcome presence in every classroom in which I worked. I, too, will miss her smile and her joyous attitude.
My deepest sympathy goes to you and to all of her friends at Garber High School.

To Lily's family:
Although Lily and I only attended Garber together for one year, I certainly remember and appreciate her bright smile and outgoing nature. Lily distinguished herself by her kindness and her laughter. My thoughts are with you.

To Lily's Parents, Family and Friends, most of you knew me only by name, but I knew Lily's love for her family and for her friends and how she cherised each and every one of you. Without even physcially knowing most, I feel a mutual love and loss for the beautiful, awesome and understanding girl that so many held dear to her heart. Lily, our friendship will be cherised forever and your memory will always be with me.

Dear Pat and Adam,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. On behalf of Garber High School's Golf Team, we are planting a flowering crab tree in Lily's memory on school grounds. It will be a reminder to all of how beautiful Lily was. She will truly be missed. You are in our prayers.

Love is who Lily was,
Love is what Lily gave,
Love is what Lily left.
Our Dearest David, Laurie and Adam,
Words alone cannot express our sorrow at this sad sad time.
Please know that we feel so blessed that we knew Lily. What an Angel, and what a shining star. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We will miss her so.
We love you,
Marcy and Tim

Aunt patty i wrote this poem about lilly. the titel is Lilly
a beautiful flower
who died so young
she had the best smile under the sun
her smile warm and safe
her heart a pure shade of gold
her love like a little child
she had so many people to love
her friends and family who loved her the most
will never forget her
she was radiant like a newly sprouted lily
her love toucched us all
she's the little angel who...

I love you Lily. The only thing that keeps me going right now is all the good memories I have of us swimming, and go fishing, and working out at the Y, and putt-putt golfing, and listening to the same Queen songs over and over, and eating ice cream at Buoy 18, and trying to pour water on eachother when we were rollerblading, and hearing about what a picky eater you were when you were little, and so many other memories, and that I know I'll see you again. I pray for you and your family Lily,...

Patty & Dan,
Though we didn't know your Lily,we still want to express our sincere sympathy to you and your family. Our hearts go out to you, I just can't imagine the pain you are feeling. May God give you the strength to endure. God Bless You All
