Just to give you an update on what Tara started with the MS Society. I have personally been in touch with the LA Office of Motor Vehicles and will continue to pursue getting a Multiple Sclerosis license plate for Louisiana. I will finish what she started. I think about her often and my drive to succeed in this venture will not die. Loved Tara.

Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear about your baby girl!!! This is so devastating! My heart hurts for you, Bridget & your husband and the rest of the family. I left a previous message. I had remembered Bridget, but it was not until I saw the pictures that I remembered you. The prev. message was so generic sounding, I had to write another. Please forgive me, my memory's not what it used to be! Wish I could be with you tomorrow and wrap my arms around you! I will offer masses and send a donation MS society. Love & lots of prayers going your way. God will get you through this! Jenny

Carolyn, Jerry and Bridget,
We'll always remember seeing Tara on those happy days chasing Snuggles (in circles) around your front yard! What a beautiful snapshot of her at the beach…snuggling her white fluffy “bundle of joy”. Your neighbors, Rhett & Randal – lifting you up in prayer.

I am so glad I had a chance to meet Tara being also a member of the GRC with her. My heart is broken because someone as young as my daughter, who also has MS, is gone from our physical touch. I will always remember what she achieved as an MS activist. I will display my MS license plate in her memory. Prayers for all her family.
