I did not know Tara. But this just breaks my heart. What a beautiful woman who I am sure was filled with love and life. People often forget that after losing a loved one we are left with a sorrow that never goes away. I hope nothing but peace for the family and friends of Tara.

I came across this story on our local online news here in South Africa and I would just like to extend my heartfelt condolences to her friends and family..

November 10, 2017

When I met Tara for the first time a few years ago, I can still recall in my mind how her beautiful eyes sparkled in the light from a nearby lamp post as she smiled and looked up at me to shake my hand after we were formally introduced to one another. That moment is a cherished memory that will last forever. I only knew Tara for a very short period of time, But even in that short time, you could feel the incredible energy, elegance and beauty that powerfully radiates from deep within her amazing heart. She was truly a real, living, breathing angel, and now God has called his most perfect angel home.

I don't know your family but when I read of your tragic loss it broke my heart as a mother myself. Reading of all Tara accomplished in her short life you can be extremely proud of her. May you find comfort in the memories you have and keep them close to your hearts as she will always be surrounding you with her love. No parent should have to bury their child, but know that others you don't know share in your loss and grief. My heartfelt condolences to your family.

I was so very saddened to hear of her sudden and tragic loss. I just saw her in church last Sunday, and saw her frequently at the 11:30 Mass. I remember Tara in grade school as a sweet, quiet girl. I remember her attending the Armata Bianca on first Fridays at St Joe's. May she rest with in peace with her Lord Jesus. Praying for your family at this time of deep grief and sadness. May God somehow, some way bring peace and comfort to your hearts.

With deepest condolences,

Sandra, Fred and family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Sandra, my heart just breaks for you because I know how deep that bond is with a daughter. All the chats and laughter we shared over our daughters I will cherish. I am sorry that I can not be there to hug you and cry with you. I hope you can continue to find strength everyday. For the entire family my deepest condolences to you all. Tara was a beautiful, sweet, smart, gentle and had an infectious smile. She will be missed by all and saying this isn't fair does not even begin to cover how not right this is. I'm so sorry.
Tara, thank you for touching mine and Sarah's life with you light. I loved when you would come sleepover or hang out. The house would change, life and laughter all night. Your sweet way and smile. Kindness and chats with me. Will not be forgotten. I'm so sorry you were taken from us. I only hope that you can use that light of yours to bring strength to those who need it now the most. We love you and miss you. Rest In Peace sweet beautiful Tara.
Love,
Cathy Wilkes Heitler
