To: Tara’s Friends

 

This is Tara’s sister, Julie. I am so sorry to tell you that Tara died yesterday, August 29.  As many of you know, she walked her journey with strength, grace and humor.  She spent her last days as she had hoped – peacefully and surrounded by loved ones. She asked that I let you all know and that I express to you what an incredible gift this group was during her 11 years dealing with colorectal cancer.  Thank you all so much.  And take care.  Julie

Sorry

So sorry for your loss.  She was a brave soul who showed how determined she was to battle this disease.  I'm glad she was surrounded by her family and went peacefully.  She was an asset to this board.

Dear Julie

I have tears in my eyes as I type.  She was a dear Lady to those of us on this board.  It is such an insidious disease taking so many wonderful people before their time.

I wish your family peace and comfort in the coming time, I'm glad she was surrounded by her loved ones, and that all had a chance to be by her side as she left this earthly realm going on to other adventures.  I give my utmost condolences and thank your family for sharing her with us.  And a special thank you for taking the time and letting us know. She was so special to so many of us.

Dear Julie

Thank you so much for letting us know about Tara.  In her last post here she had started a thread about mini goals and had listed some of her own.  The bottom line was that goals are worthwhile even if you have to modify them a bit.

She had also mentioned that her sons would be with her this summer.  That was so very special for her to have them close.

My sincere condolances to all her family and those who loved her. 

Marie who loves kitties

Thank you for letting us know....

Julie, your sister was on this board when I first came.  She was one of the 'old guard', helping us 'newbies' understand what the heck had happened to us......

 

Please know that I have placed her in my heart, next to Mark and Jana and all of the rest...

 

Hugs to all of you that she went on before.

 

Hugs, Kathi

So sorry to hear

I'm always very sorry when I hear of the passing of one of our friends. I know that the pain of the cancer is finally gone which is such a blessing. I pray for everyone in the family and wish you the best. Jeff

So sad!

I am sorry to hear that Tara has passed and want you and the family to know how much she was cared about here on the forum. 

I too remember her post about goals, and was much inspired by it. I am also happy that her boys were able to be with her. As a mother of two boys myself, I can imagine how much comfort having them near must have been.

Blessings!

Tara was a bright light here on the forum.

I can only imagine how she she must have brightened the lives of her family and friends.

My heart hurts for all of you, and I hope that the passage of time brings with it a little peace.
