Tara Michelle Shaw

Hey sister. Missing you hasn´t gotten any easier but I also know I can´t take life for granted so my biggest focus since we lost you has been making sure the girls have a good summer. We went to Dollywood in June and now we are at Myrtle Beach. It always used to melt my heart when you would tell me I´m a good mom and reflecting on that helps motivate me to keep doing my best for them through this heartbreak. I pray that I made you feel just as cared for as my own children, because I love you as such. I still can´t believe you´re gone, a piece of me is missing. I miss hyping each other up and sending each other funny YouTube videos. I miss slurping my soup obnoxiously loud just to annoy you. I miss your laugh. I even miss you laughing at me when I was fuming about something ridiculous. I just miss you girl. You taught me so many things. I still get the urge to call you. Mom too. I was just texting Abby, Peter and Amanda about the time we went to Hilton Head for your graduation trip. You found out you could not be sunburnt at basic training the very next week so we were using floppy hats and sunscreen like crazy. We pulled it off though! I´m out on the balcony of our condo, enjoying this beautiful weather and crying as I type this, but I guess it´s time to pull myself together and take these girls to the beach. I love you so much.

I miss you every single day. Your absence from this world is truly unbearable. I love you.

Hey sister. We had the pool party at work today. I´m trying really hard to let myself enjoy things but missing you is hard. I love you so much. Hug mom for me.

How do I accept that I´ll never get to hold your babies? Missing you like crazy sister. I love you with all my heart.

Tara Michelle Shaw she is the best aunt I've ever had and I miss her so much and I wish she could be alive but she is in a better place now and she is with my nana Tammy Shaw is my nana and I wish I can speak to both of them one more time Tara was the best aunt my nana Tammy Shaw was the best Nana ever. Tara died on may 18th in Jacksonville Florida my nana Tammy Shaw died in the night of the 14th of October 2023

I miss you so much baby sister. You have no idea how special and loved you are.

I´d give anything for you to lay your head on my shoulder again. I miss you and I love you, sweet angel.

Oh my liddo Tara byte. It has been a privilege to have meet you, even if only for a brief moment. I wish you safe travels and hope that your soul finds the peace and comfort it seeks in the embrace of our heavenly Father.

Tara's Grandma Janie and I took Tara to eat sushi. That girl loved that stuff...yuck!! Her Grandma misses Tara very much. She said I'm going to miss her calls, she always said HEYYYY GRANDMAAAA. Taken too soon but Tara did have a chance to go and do a lot of things and see a lot of places as a Marine. Tara, you will forever be missed by your entire family!

We almost forgot to take a photo together when Tara visited New York. Her flight was delayed till the next day so we got extra time to hang out and take a photo together. I will always be grateful for our friendship. I miss you. I love you. Always

We miss you, Auntie Tara. Spend lots of time with Nana, okay! I love you.

I met Tara when we were still the navy and spent an enormous amount of time together. Always a bundle a joy and never a dull moment. Tara has given me some of the most joyful years of my life and the best memories. She´s a one in million type of person always looking out for the well being of other people. Never letting a bad moment affect her day. I love you Tara, rest in peace my love -your sugar bear

I love you Tara, you were such an independent incredible woman. Fly high sister. ~Your little sister Tiffany

Didn´t know Tara for too long but I will never forget her laugh and that desire to enjoy her live no matter what. I will always bring you in my heart.

Baby sister, no words are good enough to express my love for you or the sorrow I feel without you here. I will miss you every single day.

My sweet beautiful cousin I'm so sorry to learn that your no longer with us . I won't pretend to know what happens to us next I only can say I hope you and your mom are together having as much fun is allowed there . I can't wait til we are all together again hug everyone for me please ... Love you

I lived next door to Tammy and knew Tara her whole life and although she had her moments as we all do she was always a joy to be around. Tara was wise beyond her years and she will forever be missed. Fly high pretty angel.

Tara´s free spirit and infectious laugh will be deeply missed. May she be honored by sharing memories for years to come.

Amber you have my deepest sympathy. I am praying for you and the family! May the LORD provide you all with peace and comfort during this difficult time! I love you and am here for you!!
