Message from Vicki and Allan

This Sunday, Father's Day - June 19th, would have been Tara's 29th birthday (Tara was born on Father's Day).   In commemoration we are organizing what has become our annual remembrance of Tara's birthday.  If you would like to participate, all you need to do is get a purple helium balloon, print and cut out the image below and tie it to the end of the balloon string.  You may want to laminate or put the note in a small plastic baggie and then release it in honor of her day wherever you are.

You may also want to put a message on the back of the note indicating where you released the balloon and perhaps your name or initial.  It is always interesting to see who sent the balloon and from where – you’d be surprised how much it actually means to the people who find the launched balloons. 

Tara's friend Megan organized a blog that we’ve used to collect photos of the balloon launch for the past years.  We are hoping that you will continue to send us your balloon launch pictures so that we can post them onto her website. If you have pictures you can forward from past years we would be very excited to receive them as well.  We also love to hear the stories of your balloon launches that we can post or you may leave messages on the blog if you would like.

The address for the blog is  http://angeltara.blogspot.com

It will soon be 7 years without Tara, and we miss her every single day.  Our family continues to appreciate  the kindness, care, support and friendship we have  continued to receive  through the years.  We are especially grateful for your remembering Tara on her birthday.

Thank you so much!

The Tanner Family
