I know we have all been grieving the loss of Tara: beautiful wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and co-worker. Many of you have reached out to ask how you can support the family during this difficult time.

Details on Tara's celebration of life and obituary are being shared soon.

It was Tara's wish that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to support her daughter's education goals. Education was always very important to Tara. Both Norah and Lyla have post-secondary aspirations, including medical school. The greatest way to honour Tara's memory is to help her daughters achieve those goals. All funds donated will be put into the girls' RESP funds.

The family would like to once again thank everyone for the amazing love and support that has been shown since Tara was first diagnosed. The outpouring of love and practical support has helped them tremendously during this difficult time.

Thank you in advance for any donations, prayers and kind words. Please share this as you are able.
