Dear Lisa and Craig, No words can express how sad and heartbroken I am for you and your family. I always remember Talia as a young women with a huge smile and bright lightness about her every time I saw her. My kids loved having her babysit when her social calander was free and I remember running into her at Junction with her track team with her hair in braids kibbitzing with the girls! I will never forget her popping in to say hi during sup group- usually after a practice or meeting -the connection I would see between Talia and Lisa - It was so special your bond and so sweet to witness. I will hold that vision of the two of you always. lots of love to you both and to Jessica, Jake and Michael during this time.

Talia, you were a kind, sweet and cheerful presence during your years at Mitchell School. It's impossible to comprehend that the little girl playing 4-square with her friends was middle-aged at eight. My heart breaks for your family during this unspeakably tragic time. Our world is darker and more silent for having lost the brightness of your smile and the music of your happy voice. For all the students and staff at Mitchell who knew you, we miss you and thank you for being the very special you. Love, Dr. S.

To The Newfield Family,
My name is Susan Grebber and despite not knowing you personally I was compelled to express my deepest sympathy to your entire family. I am from Needham and graduated from Needham High school in 1985 plus I'm also of the Jewish faith so there is a connection plus I understand the pain of losing a loved one from the passing of my beloved sister who was only 4 to my father who was 61 at the time of his death and my wonderful grandmother and a few other losses of people that I loved dearly. All I can say is that time does help but you never get over it totally and a piece of you is gone with your beloved daughter Talia. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and long after that.
February 12, 2018
Rest easy, Talia

Dear Lisa and Craig- We knew you many years ago when you lived in Natick and were involved at Temple Israel. Fast foward to now and I am so sad hearing about the tragic loss of your beautiful daughter. Losing a loved one at such young age is beyond words, but senseless tragedy brings it to a whole other level. I know you and your family are beyond comfort at the moment. All we can say is may her memory be for a blessing and make you take comfort down the road in all the memories you have of her with you and your family...
February 12, 2018
To Craig and Lisa,
May the loving memories of Talia comfort all doing this horrific event of her dealth. May the God of the Hebrew Scriptures comfort family, friends and all well wishes.
All of us look forward to the rich blessings that is in store for mankind under his guidance.

As a parent of 4 children I can only imagine the pain and loss you must be feeling, not only for yourself, but the pain of your children, family and Talia's many friends and classmates. I also have a junior at Needham High and he only has nice things to say about Talia, and, as many of her classmates, is struggling with her loss. She must have been a constant presence in many lives. PLease know that she still is a presence and will leave behind good memories in many lives and hearts.
Our condolences to you and your family. My heart hurts for the young people who were a part of Talia's life.
