I heard about you,Tara,long before I met you.. and Zack, Noah, Piper. Byron talked about the trip to Kennedy Lake, your wedding, the Veggie Club.....When I finally met you all [Piper just 2 yrs old and so very very cute, Noah already mountain biking] I knew a special family had entered my life. A walk in the forest, lots of talking, muffins, laughter.....I left with lots of baby gear, and a special place in my heart for you all.

Tara..so kind and gentle, earnest and enthusiastic, fun, loving, running with the wind....a beautiful soul , a wonderful gift to your family and friends. You always had a special hug for Kai and lovely talks with Jonah [the same name as your beloved dog!] I loved spending time with you. I even heard about Home Schooling from you- how's that for changing a life?!

Zack, Noah ,Piper, please know our family is here for you now and always.

Over the past few weeks we've been to some places where we've met you all over the years. Dancing to Marimba at Providence Farm, my eyes met Jenny's, and soon tears were falling. And last year at Nhemamusasa, it was such a magical time... everyone dancing and having so much fun, and the kids playing into the morning hours. This year, it was so special again, ..... dancing and laughing, Marimba filling the night, Jonah finally sleeping in my arms...., Zack Byron, Noah ,Piper and Kai lying on the grass, watching the stars,....and Tara all around.
