Oh Tara, I just found out about your passing. I can not believe I will not see your beautiful face and sunshiney personality again. I do not think I have ever seen you without a smile on your face. You are one of the most genuine people I know. We are all without by not having you in this world. I will miss you my kitty kitty meow meow!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

I remember you ever since you were eight years old,you always came to see your Grandma @ Kirkland,you were such a cute little shy girl and you grew up to be so beautiful. Your Grandma was so very proud of you! You are with your Grandma now and I know she'll take very good care of you. Love Donna Lemoine[Cook @ Kirkland]

Wish you could have been here to celebrate your birthday. I loved your memorial and hearing stories about you. It was amazing how everyone in the room seemed to relate to every story told. Of course, most of the stories couldn't be told over a microphone with children present. :) You really were one in a million! Thanks for everything!!!

Tara and Cedar, one of my favorite pics of Tara.
Tara we miss your craziness at work, you were truly unique. I have asked myself many times, what is it about you that we always wanted you near? The answer is easy, besides being one of the funniest people I know, you were humble, sincere, kindhearted, painfully honest and truly a delightful to have around. Tara you never ceased to surprise me and I mean that in a good way. I am fortunate to have known you and will remember you always. My heartfelt condolences go out to your family and...

Tyler and Tanya,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. I remember your sister as a person full of laughter and enthusiasm.
Thinking of her brings a smile to my face and many great memories.

Oh Tara, I can hardly believe you've left this world so soon... I think of you as a beautiful, genuine force of nature -- so honest, unpretentious, caring, funny, sassy, and bursting with energy... You drew people in like a magnet! I'm just so grateful to have known you as a friend, and really, as a member of my family. I will never forget you, Tara, and I will always think of you with a smile.
To Tara's family from the Cross family, we are so sorry for your loss. We hope that your...
