Dear Tara,

It seems hard to believe that you have gone, my friend. As you well knew, there are all these common threads that run through our lives so that now it seems as if you are just around the corner. I am so grateful:) I see Ella's little shoes and know you live on in the voices of your children. I've had many conversations in my head, in lieu of those lovely, earnest chats we shared, often snatched amongst the other goings on of our lives. In my mind's eye, I hold you playing marimba. You were luminous, Tara! You blessed us so with your wisdom, your delightful sense of humour and your kindness. We shared so many significant milestones along our way and now, we're walking on, Tara, holding you close.

With love,
Helen
