Tara you are so missed, you boy is beautiful! He is the spitting image of you. Your mom and sister are so great to keep the energy of you alive so your sweet baby boy will know and always remember his mommy. You are precious Tara, i love you very much. When i think of you...you were the girl that could turn any boring or bad situation to a funny, we would then laugh till our stomachs ached. You were so comical and such a blast to be around. Love you beautiful Tara :)

I Will Be There

by Sharon J. Bryant

 

Mom, tomorrow I will be there

Though you may not see

I'll smile and remember

The last Christmas, with you and me

Don't be sad mom, I'm never far away

Your heart has hidden sight

My memory will always stay

I watched as you touched the ornaments

Sometimes a tear was shed, as you did, I touched you gently on your shoulder

And on tiptoes I proudly stood

I'm only gone for a little while, mom,

I'm waiting for the day to be

When God calls out your name, mom.

We'll be together, just you wait and see

But until that time comes

Carry on as you did when I was there

I tell the angels how much I love you

There are angels here everywhere!

I stand behind you some days

When I know that you are sad

I want you to be happy, mom,

It would make my heart so glad

So on this Christmas Eve, mom,

Think of me as I will be thinking of you

And touch that special ornament

That I once made for you (I have so many of them!)

I love you mom, also I know you know I do

And I'll be waiting here for you

When your earthly life is through.

 

Love,

Tara Michelle

Tara,

        Yes...I remembered your birthday yesterday but did not think about getting on here and wishing you a happy birthday until I saw Angie's Myspace.  I thought about you all day and thought about the good times we had and how much I miss you! I keep a picture of you in my room so I can look at you everyday and know how lucky I am to have had such a great friend like you!  You made me who I am today and I love you so much for that.  I wish I could be telling you this in person instead of writing it on the computer. 

        Mikey is gorgeous.....he's a spitting image of you! And i know that he will be the same sweet and tendered hearted person that you were. 

        I'm so very grateful that I had an amazing best friend like you to share my life with.  And I wish that we could have stayed a little bit closer over the years but don't think that one day didn't go by that I didn't think about you...I loved you so much Tara!  You were like my other half and now that you're gone, I feel like a part of me is missing and it feels so weird that i don't see you every now and then at the mall with Jeff or that you can't make random stops by my house just to walk in and give me a hug!  I should have never let you go....i should have held on to you because that was the last time that I saw you.  And i deeply regret that!  And hopefully someday I will see you again so save me a place right next to you because there's no other place I'd rather be than right next to my other half!  BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE!!!!

 

LOVE YOU TARA MICHELLE!!!! 

 

I remember Tara best when she was in junior high. From a teacher\'s perspective, it was easy to see that Tara was eager to please. She was a wonderful student-polite, gentle, happy, and disciplined. I had her in class  twice a day when she was in the seventh grade. During Proficiency (a structured study hall), Tara would complete her work and enthusiastically ask me if she could help me in any way. On days when I didn\'t have anything for her, she would be content to sit in the folding chair beside my desk and study. She just wanted to be my friend. The feelings were mutual..teachers love tender children! Sometimes, she would bring her gel pens and draw pictures/messages on the tops of my hands-usually, "I love Johnny", complete with the heart where "love" was supposed to be written.  If she didn\'t like the colors she had used, or something just didn\'t seem right to her, she\'d use a sanitizing wipe (which I kept on my desk) to erase it and start over.

Sometimes between classes or on her way to lunch, she would stop by my classroom for a  hug. Many times she wouldn\'t say a word, just hug me. She so needed to be loved - as we all do. I don\'t think she knew just how many people adored her. She knew her family loved her.  I knew her mother did, as I would see her at the games and pep assemblies when Tara was cheering. Sadly, though, I\'m not sure she knew just how much the rest of us loved her and for that, I am heartbroken. Even though I saw her once or twice after high school, I will always remember her as that young, beautiful, and innocent middle schooler.

Those were special days, Tara. Thank you for sharing  a little bit of your life with me. I am grateful you thought enough of me to do so. I think so much of you that I promise to never, ever forget you. Fly freely, sweet angel. I\'m sure you look stunning with your wings.
