Dear Conlin Family, Raymond, Dorothy, family/friends,
I am so sorry for all of you and am praying that the love and support of your family and friends will help to comfort you. I remember Tara at SVF as a classmate that everyone loved to be around.

I was so sad to hear about Tara's passing. I grew up with Tara during the summers in Rockaway. I always thought she was so cool! I always wanted to be on her softball teams - - she was one of the best players.

God bless each of you during this very sad time. Heaven has a new angel.

tara, i will always remember you as not only my best friend growing up's mother, but as my friend too. you were always taking me and erin ice skating, to get pizza, shopping. and when me and erin would play until 9 oclock at night at your house, you would always make sure i felt comfortable. i felt like your house was a second home. I will never forget the time at your halloween party, when you let all the kids TOILET PAPER YOUR HOUSE! and no matter how messy the house got, you didn't care. As long as there was a smile on every kid and there parent's face, you were happy too. you always did have a great smile on your face, and a laugh that make everyone else smile too. you were a great person. I will never attend a halloween party, st. patricks day parade or party, or a birthday party without thinking that if you threw that party it would be ten times funner. I love you so much and you are always in my heart watching down on me. And don't worry about erin, mikey, bridget, or catherine.. they are in great hands. I love you and your family so much, and i cannot wait until we meet again. i love you tara. rest in peace.
