To the strongest person I have ever met. Was only blessed with knowing Tara for 3 years but so thankful I met her. She was a real person what you saw was what you got. Kind, caring, funny, smart Alec comments all in one. Your strength during your battle with cancer amazed me. Always strong, always positive. Always told you I wished I was as strong as you. Heaven is the winner here. If they have bingo in heaven lookout because Tara is there. Love you and going to miss you. - Posted by: Joann copp (friend) on: Oct 24, 2014

Tara was just what you'd want in a friend. We shared our deepest secrets, gossip, laughter and love for Pepsi a lot. It was an absoulte pleasure to have Tara in my life for the past few years Tara was what I imagined a sister would be like had I grown up with one. Miss you girlfriend. My thoughts, prayers, hugs and kisses go out to her family. - Posted by: Rachel Daimond (Friend) on: Oct 23, 2014

Tara and I shared a teasing friendship over at the bingo hall, teasing about how the hall would let anybody in and she would call me brat and other fun comments were fired back and forth. I feel for her family at this time but i am also happy for Tara that she has been released from pain, for this reason no one can truly wish her back. I feel very much for her family, time will heal some of the pain but in a lot of ways it will never end until you all meet again . Healing hugs to you all. - Posted by: Sherry Hinchliffe (acquaintance from St. Peter and Paul bingo hall ) on: Oct 23, 2014

Edward, Cody, Damien, Tammy, Taylor & Michael...Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Tara was a true fighter in every sense of the word. She fought with tremendous courage, grace & dignity. I'm so grateful for the time I had with her & I will miss her smile, laughter, incredible sense of humor. You always knew when she entered a room because she made her presence known to everyone. R.I.P Tara, I Love & Miss You Always <3 - Posted by: Debbie Deibert (Friend/Sister-in-law) on: Oct 23, 2014

Tara was a very strong person. She was set in her ways and no one was going to change that. She reminded me so much of her mom. "Stubborn". Tara will be missed dearly by her family and friends. Love and Miss you Tara. Love Auntie Lori. - Posted by: Lori Hilton (Aunt) on: Oct 23, 2014
