Tonight I recieved the most devastating news. My best friend in the whole world, Tara, died after a 4 1/2 year struggle with health issues. Any prayers you can say for her family would mean so much, especially for her husband who is now a widower at the age of 26. I am so thankful that Tara is not in pain anymore, and I KNOW that I will see her again. She was like a sister to me, and it really hasn't sunk in yet that she is gone. I am just in complete shock and know that the next few days and weeks are going to be so hard. I will just focus on all the amazing times we had together and all the incredible memories we made. Again, any good thoughs or wishes or prayers for her family would be much appreciated! I am a better person for having known Tara, and know that my life has been and forever will be changed b/c of having her as my best friend. As Tara would quote from Steel Magnolias, "Laughing through tears is my favorite emotion."

Lisa and friends, thank you so much for your remarks, prayers and thoughts. Life is so very fragile, you have to make every moment count. Nothing, even death, can make me stop loving Tara. She is my everything. I'm so very blessed to have her.

Back before Tara made her blog private I used to love to peak in at their life from time to time, and she seemed like such a fun, and outgoing gal! My heart, and prayers go out to you and to her husband, and family! Hugs!
