Hi! My name is Shingen and I found the message in my flower bed on June 20th. I'm thankful to be touched by an angel, and happy late birthday to Tara.

Shingen lives in Covington and this was one of the balloons from John's Creek! Over a 40 mile journey.

Sweet nephews!

From the Tanner Family

This Wednesday June 19th would have been Tara’s 31st Birthday.  Once again we are having our annual Balloon Launch celebrating her life.

We thank you all for being a part of our balloon launches throughout the past 9 years. If you would like to participate again, all you need to do is get a purple helium balloon, print and cut out one of the notes attached to this email 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 might 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 when one of our balloons are found.

On Tara's blog we have collected photos of past balloon launches.  We are hoping that you will continue to send us your balloon launch pictures so that we can post them onto her website.  Thanks again to Megan H. who has done such a great job of designing and maintaining the blog.

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

Thank you  again for helping us celebrate and remember Tara on her birthday.  Your support these past 9 years has meant so much.


With much gratitude,


The Tanner Family
