I am so sorry to hear such sad news of your loss of Tally. I just heard of this or I would have shared personally that I have sweet memories of Tally in my 5th and 6th grade class I taught at WIS. She was filled with love and happiness which is a testament to your great love for her and the graces she received to give to others in need. I know her spirit will continue to reach out and touch others. Until you are all happily reunited for eternity with Our Lord, may the Lord minister to you in the way no one else can and keep you all full of life and close in your love for each other and in Him.
I pray, too, that Our Lady be with you daily to help you receive the peace that passes all understanding,

Deepest sympathy to your family as you endure this tremendous loss. As a PSU alum and mother of a recent graduate, our family welcomed THON canners into our home several weekends. It was a blessing to meet such caring and compassionate young men and women! What these students do and how their hearts grow is amazing. The PSU community mourns the loss of your precious daughter and her generous heart.

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Tally's family. My daughter knew Tally through PSU as a sorority sister and friend and is now at the vigil for your beautiful daughter. As a fellow parent of a 19 year old daughter, my heart swells with love and compassion for you at this time. There really are no words.
September 30, 2015
So very sorry for your Loss. It is so tragic. Just know that you are surrounded by love, warmth, and caring thoughts of thousands of people, both within the PSU community and those close by as well as far and wide who heard the news of this tragic accident.
Know perhaps most importantly, that the wonderful memories of your daughter, sister and best friend can not and never will be be taken away. Her spirit and contribution to the lives of those who had the privilege and honor to know or meet her will live on forever and in some way, therefore so will she.

Please know that there are many people praying for all of you. The tragic loss of your daughter is heartbreaking. I pray that the Lord gives you strength to carry on as your beautiful daughter would want you to do. I will pray to the Blessed Mother for you as she too understands the grief and heartbreak that comes from losing a child. I will also pray that you find comfort in knowing that you raised a wonderful, caring daughter who spent her time helping others and finding joy and happiness in her life.
With much sympathy,

There are no words that seem appropriate. .. But there is prayer, family and love. That is what Tally was all about, prayer, family and love! I was blessed to had gotten to meet and know Tally as she was my student in her freshman Civ class at BHS. She was a bright, friendly and very sweet student. I was very proud to see her grow through the years and develop into the beautiful young woman she was. It is with deepest saddness that I write this and I send my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, classmates and all who were lucky enough to have ever met such a beautiful young lady, beautiful both inside and out. I will never forget our 6th period Civ class and I will never forget such am amazing young woman. God be with you as you walk in Heaven looking and watching over all of us! God bless...

Mr & Mrs Sepot, my wife and I are so sorry at your loss. We were the first motorists at the scene and as a retired fireman, myself and three others tried to do what we could, CPR/first aid, for your daughter. My wife even found a member of the clergy in the stopped traffic to kneel by her side. Heaven and earth tried to help and give comfort. Our prayers are with you, your family and friends.

I would like to extend my sincerest sympathies to the Sepot Family and all Tally's friends here in Branford and at Penn State. I had the honor of teaching Tally in CCD from 6th grade all the way through confirmation class in 10th grade. I have vivid memories of her begging me to please move her back to my class when she was taken out in 9th grade. Tally had been friends with my daughter, Leah, since grade school and it was very easy to convince those in charge that she belonged in my class for so many reasons. She used to tell me having me for a teacher was her motivation for taking these classes. In high school these kids had to come to this class on a Sunday evening when they really wanted to be home finishing homework or relaxing before the busy school week but Tally never complained. She always came to class with a smile on her face and a willingness to help get the class motivated to study religion. The biggest message I tried to pass on to all my students was a strong belief in God, in heaven, in life after death and the power of prayer. I know now, as I read many of their Facebook posts, that they were listening. They all talk about God getting a new angel and about finding peace in the knowledge they will see Tally again in the next life. I remember Tally in line, about to march into church the night of confirmation, nervous about the entire process, nervous she would forget to answer the Bishop correctly when he confirmed her, and I told her to just remember what a special young woman she was and how she had, at that young age, already started helping people in need. God was with her then as he is now. So many of the kids cannot understand how a life could be taken so soon and my answer is that if God needed another angel he picked the best of the best. Tally was a beautiful person on the inside and the outside and it was a real honor to have been her teacher through all those years of religious education. I know she is looking down at me and saying Donna you were right, there is a heaven and it is a glorious place and she will watch over her family and friends and she will be waiting for all of us when we make this journey. I hope Tally's family can find some peace in knowing that their daughter believed in God, in heaven and in the knowledge that we would all meet again after death. My grief is great but I rely on the peace of knowing she is already wearing her angel wings and I am so proud of the young woman she was and the life she lived. May God continue to watch over her family and friends and may Tally know how honored I am to have been a part of her life. I will miss her forever.
