Oh my, what a terrible loss!  Tara was in my second grade religious ed. class at SJN where I helped prepare her for her First Communion Day.  I remember a sweet little girl with a wreath of rosebuds in her hair, a little nervous, but so happy to be celebrating this special milestone in her life!  My husband Ron remembers coaching Tara on one of his soccer teams along with our daughter Deanna during the middle school years!  On behalf of Ron, Deanna, and me, we offer our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy, on the passing, all too soon, of a beautiful, lovely young woman, and pray that God’s peace will help you through this heart-wrenching loss.  Cindy Dell and family

I had the pleasure of recently meeting Tara, when she was in our office assisting with Facebook.  She was beautiful, friendly, and extremely patient.  In the short amount of time I spent with her, I could tell she was kind-hearted with a great spirit.  To say reading of her passing was devastating is an understatement.  I am the mother of two sons, 23 and 26……my heart breaks for her family and friends. I pray they find comfort and peace, in knowing she touched the lives of so many people….even those who only knew her for a brief moment.
