Oh Margie & Chuck this has been an amazing Journey with our Tara In my heart I feel so close to her and her family. And our God has been so amazing to let u have her for so much longer so He and His glory could shine through her and you and Chuck. My heart is breaking But also excited for her and what she is going to see. The face of our Lord and total healing. We who are left behind are broken-hearted for her family and for you her Mom and Dad. You all have given God the glory and Praise for all He has done and I know He will continue to give you strength and peace to get through this time. I love you all so deeply.
I know you all desire for God to be glorified through your lives. He is! Your unwavering trust in our Lord is encouraging to those who know you.
Phil and I pray for you often. We ask God to give you the strength you need and His peace.
Love to you all.
Margie, I am so glad I got to meet Tara and the kids at Mary Sherwood’s one evening. May Tara meet our Savior with His wide open. Strength and peace to you all.
I would like to share a story about Tara. We taught together for only one year in Monticello, Il when we were at the beginning of our careers. We had lost touch, reunited through Facebook, but just have stayed acquaintances.
In January of 2020 , my husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma. I hadn’t heard from Tara for 20 years, however she immediately contacted me, asking me if she could introduce me to a friend who had just lost her husband from this disease.
This offer gave me a wonderful support system during that time. Of course, neither one of us could even imagine that within a year, she too, would be diagnosed too. God works in mysterious ways and we are left with many questions.
I have lifted Tara up in my prayers throughout her illness and have witnessed her solid belief in Jesus. I can’t imagine doing this journey without Him. May He welcome Tara with open arms. Well done, good and faithful servant.❤️
This is hard to hear. She has had some wonderful miracles and I'm thankful that God gave her this extra time. I'm praying for her as she is getting ready to see Jesus and I'm praying for you and Chuck and Paul and the children as you go through letting go. Hugs to all of you.
