Remember everyone makes mistakes and he has to live with this for the rest of his life. He's a good kid that made a horrible mistake, but he too has family and friends that love him. I continually pray for Tara's family and friends as well.

But you didn't lose him forever the world lost a beautiful person in side and out forever never to be seen, hear from, or touched again.... You can at lest go visit him and talk to him on the phone....there's no phone line to heaven. She was on of the few growing up that was nice to me even tho I was different and never treated me any different then the rest always had a good heart. Everyone she came into contact with she has left her good mark on them. Rest in peace old friend everyone misses you Tara
