I miss you to this day Tara and think of you often. You were my best friend and a wonderful person. I hope your family has found a way to move forward despite the ever present pain of your loss, as I know that's what you would have wanted. I'm a mom myself now and can't even imagine the pain of that loss. I loved you and will always remember the influence you've had on my life. As pen pals, you always signed as mouse.
Thinking of you in loving memory,
Kim (aka kitty)

For my beloved Granddaughter Tara,
I want to hold you tight and never let you go, but since that cannot be, my thoughts & feelings must come from this pen & paper. It's taken me nearly one year to attempt to put my feelings into words, although our family and those close to me have listened & hurt deeply for me & know that losing you is the most painful event of my life.
Even now, it's still so hard to believe that this has really happened to us. It seems that you are away on vacation somewhere, and one day will come through our door. WHY? WHY? I ask everyday, do we have to bear your loss? It is pain like no other! No one can fix this. Whatever was so important that you were chosen to be taken away at such a young age and why were we chosen to bear what is unbearable!! All we want is to have you returned to us. Everything changed that Saturday night on November 18, 2006,the house where we lived together in love, mutual respect and security, fun and laughter is now a very different place. All our hopes & dreams for a future together were taken away in an instant and I continue to ask why us? Why were we not worthy to have the joy of you in our lives? Your parents, brother and myself are still numb and confused. We want to awake from this nightmare. Although we are together in familiar surroundings, everything is so different, wrong & empty and we feel like strangers within ourselves.
We miss you so much and our love for you is as endless as the sky. We all seem to stare at the sky & stars & hope you can see us and are helping us as we stumble each day with boroken hearts and broken lives forced to go on.
People have been so kind & loving to us & I'm sure that's why we have survived. We never could have faced this without all the love that was given by family, friends ans some people who didn't even know us!! You had and still do have such a pouring out of love from your friends and others who wished they had known you. You were never boastful and may have been quiet, but your charms were noticed by young & old alike. You touched so many lives. We are all better people for having you in our lives.
You never leave my thoughs; how I miss your beauty, intelligence, kindness & fun loving personality. We are staying close with David & his family & are bonded because of our mutual love for you!! They are wonderful people. It hurts so badly to think of what might have been. I hope you, my precious granddaughter, will be waiting for me wherever you are when my soul is called to return to God.
Until then, I will care & try to hold-up your Mom, Dad & Brother as they do the same for me.
In deep longing, you Babba,
P.S.-Keep the Iris's & Lillies coming & thanks for the Poodle & the dog your mother didn't want!!

Wow, one year already. I cant believe how fast it has gone without her. I miss her everyday. There is not one day that passes that i dont think of her. I will never fully comprehend how such a horrible thing could have happened to such an angel.
We miss you every day Tara. We love you.

Dear Mary, It has taken me time to write to you and as I do, my heart is breaking and I cannot stop the tears falling from my eyes. The loss of Tara has been the most devastating thing that has happened in our family. I still cannot fully comprehend what has happened and why. I can only look back and thank God that I had such a beautiful Goddaughter, inside and out. In the last birthday card I gave to her, I wrote how proud I was to be her Godmother and how proud I was of her. She had grown into a beautiful young woman will full of promise. I don't understand why God would take such a kind and loving person out of this world. Tara would have been a wonderful elementary teacher and could have made such a difference in children's lives. From the time I held her on her Baptism Day, I knew that the next dress I wanted to buy her would be her wedding dress. I never thought something like this would ever happen. I keep asking myself why, but never get an answer. A life that young should never be taken and a sorrow so strong should never be given to a parent. But I will keep the beautiful memories strong and alive in my mind and heart when I think of Tara. Mary, I think of you, Danny, Danny boy and your mother every day. I wish there was some way I could take away your pain. I love you all very much.

Mrs. Koshinski,
I want to tell you that I am very sorry for the loss of your daughter Tara. It breaks my heart to read the story of her accident. I saw you at Parkland High School on Monday. I was with my mom, and she showed you a picture of my sister Laura who passed away last year. It is terrible what both our families have gone through, but it is amazing to know that we have angels watching over us. Even though it was brief, and I wish it were for other reasons, it was nice meeting you.
God Bless

Tara,
Even though the last time I saw you, you were maybe 10 or 11 I couldn't believe it when I heard what happen. That day in school I couldn't stop thinking about it. You are the best friend I could ever have and may peace be with you.
My Deepest Prayers,
Mary Koshinski

Our Angel,
Nineteen years ago I was in labor tonight waiting for one of the BEST, most MIRACULOUS things in my life to happen. It was YOU !! I can't begin to comprehend that you are not with us right now, so I choose to believe that you are. I miss you sooooo much more than words can ever say. I pray for the day that we are all together again is soon. We're all fighting with everything that we have to ensure that jusice is served for you on this earth. We are all still in shock and disbelief that this has actually happened. All that we want is the one thing that we can't have, which is "YOU" back in our lives. We miss you beyond compare. Happy 19th Birthday, My Sweet Angel. I know you'll receive our birthday wishes when we release the balloons later today.
Our never ending LOVE,
MUMMERZ, DADIO, LIL' BRO, BABBA and Max too !!
P.S.-We all know Koko,Grandma and all our relatives are there taking care of you while we can't. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND KEEP YOU ALL SAFE FROM ALL HARM!!

"My Tara"
I lay here at night, neither trying or able to sleep.
One thing is on my mind and that is you!
In my thoughts and in my heart.
I think of you with me, never to part.
Wondering how did I ever meet such a beautiful, wonderful girl like you?
Your bright cheerful smile, the look in your eyes, the sound of your voice can only be described as one thing, Heaven.
I know now why I am on this earth.
To be with you, to tend to you when you're in need.
To love you unconditionally and be with you Forevermore!
You are irreplaceable, your personality is the only one of its kind.
You are unique and special, no one and nothing could be greater than you.
My Hunnie Sweetie Pie, I'd be lost without you.
I couldn't imagine where I'd be, nor do I want to.
I end this now saying the one thing I will never stop saying to you and only you.
"I LOVE YOU!!" "Forever and After".
All my love,
Dave

Mary & family,
We don't know each other because I work for ComputerAid in Hershey.
But, upon hearing the news of your family's loss, I had to write.
We know your pain all too well.
We lost our son, Ryan just under a year ago. He was almost 4.5 years old. Even when we had warning that we could lose him due to his health, we were still unprepared for the sudden anguish of losing him.
My wife's parents lost their 2nd daughter the exact same way you have lost Tara. She was 19 when she too was killed in an accident on the road. So they too know what it is you feel now.
There are only two things I can say to you now.
First, don't let the love and hope you've lost become the focus of your thoughts or your life going foreward. Recall instead the love you had and will share again when you are all together again.
Second, when you have no more tears (and you will have plenty of them, I know), don't think it means you love them or mourn them any less. Just know that it is time to live on - and that now you do so for them as well as for yourself.
God Bless you all.

My Beloved Danny, Mary, Danny-Boy and Joanne,
There are no more words left to say that might ease your pain. Someday the tears may stop, but the emptiness and the aching will never go away. Tara was truly a Gift from God, even though it was for such a short time. Danny, I will remember that when I see a bird singing in a tree, or any beautiful thing, I will think of our Sweet Baby Girl, Tara Marie.
Love you all,
Aunt Barbara & Uncle Joe.
PS. I asked Tara to give Grandmon a big hug and kiss for me, for I know in my heart that they are together.

My heart goes out to you all. I am so sorry that you have to endure this pain. I am praying for you everyday, asking God to please give you the strength and comfort that you will need to carry you through the rest of your lives. Please know and believe that Tara is okay, and that she is in good hands. Take one day at a time, and each hurdle one at a time. She will help carry you through- have faith in that.
All our love-

Tears like hot rain washing down my face,
My beating heart can hardly keep pace.
So young, a tragedy so unfathomable,
So vibrant, a life now so untouchable.
What can wake me from the nightmare?
A cruel joke one can hardly bare to share.
Weeping bitterly for the death of a friend,
Coincidence and tragedy her life they did rend.
Tearing her from those who can be heard wailing,
All that was once simple and peaceful now derailing.
When has it ever hurt this much?
My heart ripped open and in icy clutch.
As the darkness cheers and prevails,
We dawn our smothering black veils.
What sliver of hope can be found?
But the King is risen and crowned.
There my hope will rest
And no force of darkness will contest.
In death her life will not be forgot
For in a web of minds memories have been caught.
As my heart does beat for you, beautiful dove,
All I can offer in remembrance is our undying love.
~~~~~
Tara, I will think of you everyday as I sit in the South Dinning Hall and rember how, almost every single day, we ate dinner there.
Oh God, I miss you so much -

Tara, the memories you have provided all of your friends and family will never be forgotton. You leave behind many people that care so much for you. To the family of Tara, my heart goes out to you. I can only amagine what you are feeling, specially over this holiday meant for giving thanks. Best regards and I hope you fare well through this journey. To the friends left behind; keep looking foreward into the future. Tara will be missed deeply, but nothing can bring her back. View this tragedy as a lesson. Although horrible things do happen, sometimes there is nothing we can do to prevent them. To David. I can only amagine how difficult this is for you. Know one thing, I will be here for you. I know for a fact that you have all of your closest friends who are willing to help you in any way possible. Your journey goes on. Life is tough, brace yourself. Tragedies will happen, learn from them. Do not let this get the best of you. Press on, press on.

To the family and friends of Tara Koshinski,
After reading the news about the demise of Tara in that fatal accident, I couldn't but write these few lines to console and comfort the near and dear ones of Tara. I can understand your pain and sorrow for your daughter at this time of the year when all the members of the families gather together to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day. You suffered a great loss in the death of your daughter. I also saw Tara's picture in the news paper. She was so young,so beautiful and full of life. Though I didn't know her or her family I was prompted to express my sympathy and condolences to the near and dear ones of Tara. May God grant eternal rest to Tara and May the Holy Spirit grant you peace of mind and consolation at this time of pain and sorrow.
I will have a special remembrance of Tara during the Mass I celebrate tomorrow.

I was the one holding beautiful Tara in her last moments, praying for her and trying to comfort her the best I could considering the situation. I am the one that felt her pulse fade and leave. Daniel came and knelt beside the car and said Tara daddy's here baby. At that moment I could feel her Love for him and also sadness knowing that the loss of her would be very hard for him. She loved you very much Daddy! Although this is a horrible thing to witness I am so very Greatful that I was able to be there for Tara to comfort and hold her in her last moments on Earth. I will never forget her Beautiful, brown, slightly curly hair, and the feel of her gentle loving spirit. I am deeply sorry for your loss Mary, Daniel, family and friends! I pray that God and Jesus give you the Love and Strength you need to deal with your loss. Peace Be With You!

We came to know Tara through our daughter Nikki. She was an extraordinary young woman. Her parents can be very proud of how she lived her life. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and a great sense of humor. We had such a good time with her on vacation this summer. She loved to fish (she said that her father taught her to bait the hook) and had a great time catching crabs off the dock. We will always remember her in the sunshine on a summer day.

I was friends with Tara since Middle School and we sure had ourselves a good time. We were at college together too and she was living 2 floors up from me. It will seem so empty without her. She always knew how to make me laugh and we spent countless times laughing about life. To tara's family.. I am so sorry for your loss. What a nightmare this all is. She was too young to go, she was full of spirit and good-humor and I am sure we will all miss that terribly. If there is anything I can ever do just ask, I am here for you all. I am sorry for your loss.

I went to School with Tara, except i graduated class of '05. For some reason, she was one of the people i would see in the hallway EVERY DAY. no matter what classes i had i would run into her at some point. the conversations were usually no more than a "hey" but it was enough to make me remember her forever. I wish i could be there for the services. Rest in peace Tara.

December 19, of last year (2005) we also lost a daughter to a car accident. She was 18. I know how horrible your family is hurting. It's especially hurtful because of the upcoming holidays, which she will be missed even more than you thought possible. Just please know that I, and others, know what you're going through and are going through it with you.
Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.
In Peace,
The Reed Family

To the family & friends of Tara,
I did not have the blessing of knowing your beautiful daughter & friend but I work close by to what happened and said a prayer for all involved and was sad to find out an angel was called home. Below is a poem I hope you can one day find comfort in. My thoughts and prayers will remain with your family.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
