When you visit please light a candle. They mean so much to us and bring us comfort.

   Tara touched so many people and she left the world a nicer place than she found it.

  While attending college Tara would donate blood and plasma. If she had any money left in her food plan she would spend it all at the campus store for food and take anything she bought to the local homeless shelter.

  If you wanted to do anything, swimming, playing badminton, cards and no one else wanted to play  you could always count on Tara. However Friday nights was pepperoni pizza and movie night so the games had to wait. Saturdays were brownie day and the brownie mix would end up on the floor, cabinets and ceiling.  How we miss that mess.

  Tara loved to swim. Her first time scavenging the lake bed of Lake Huron she found a bed spring and golf ball. She kept the bed spring in her bedroom and gave us the golf ball. I still have that golf ball and many times I carry it with me. I will always treasure it. 

  Tara had a laughter that would fill the house with love and joy.

  Tara was a huge Indianalopis Colts fan. If you go to the new stadium look for a brick with her name on it. The brick is in the "First Down" row section F. 

  When we would travel Tara would always write her name in the sand or with sticks for people would know she had been there.

  We have continued this tradition. Tara’s name has been written on the beach in Port Huron Michigan on Lake Huron, in Marblehead Ohio and Erie Pennsylvania on Lake Erie, Vero Beach Florida, Cocoa Beach Florida, and Kill Devil North Carolina on the Atlantic, Niagara Falls New York, Chesapeake Bay, Potomac River and Patuxent River in Maryland. Pensacola Florida and Gulf Shores Alabama beaches on the Gulf. Also in Myrtal Beach South Carolina and Charleston South Carolina harbor area. 
 
  Using sticks her name has been left in the mountains in northern New Mexico. 

   Tara we will try to live our lives to make you proud of us.

 Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints upon the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain and
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am that swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die

 National Children's Memorial Day
that their light may always shine

Sunday December 9, 2012

  National Children's Memorial Day happens every year on the second Sunday of December and is observed internationally. Families around the world light candles at 7 p.m. in their corresponding time zones. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lighted in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light that encircles the globe. This remembrance ceremony provides the world with lit candles for an entire 24 hour period in order to honor the children we have lost, the children who lived and died, and who, even in death, continue to matter.
