SSgt. Tara M. Mendez

Holly and Rick,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I still remember you after 35 years. May your memories live on.

"I feel so awful. I had no idea that Tara had passed away. She and I were very good friends while stationed at Eglin. She will be terribly missed. My heart and prayers go out to anyone who has had the privilege of ever even knowing Tara. My bet is that she touched your life as she did mine. I love you Tara. You will be missed."- Shaneka McIntosh Tillman (TSgt McIntosh)

Heartfelt prayers go out to the Mendez-Confer family & friends for the loss of Tara. She will be missed more than words can say. As is evident here, she was love by many -

Rick & Holly,
My love & God's grace to you & your beautiful family & extended family. Though words cannot express my deepest sympathy, it is a measure of grace, and no surprise, to discover the love & vitality you two bestowed on your girls. You guys are in my entire family's prayers.

Rick, Holly and Rikki, I am so sorry to hear about Tara, we were out of town this weekend and didn't know about the service. My heart aches for you all, there are no words I can say. Just know that we love you and are here for you. Patti Bartlett
