    Tara you definitely made this life of anybody you touched brighter. You always had time for those you loved,and once someone entered your heart they were planted in your garden of love. You nourished watered and gave sunshine that helped many blossoms. You taught me grace and kindness to all. Heaven has gained a beautiful exotic flower for its garden. You will always be in my heart.
