    This was a horrible way for a lovely young woman to pass. Our deepest condolences to you and her family. Has anyone ever found out what type of gun the trainer had? I am sure he/she will remember this careless act the rest of his/her life. May Tara’s memory always be in her firends minds, the good times and her smiling face.

    Jason, The Drummond Family, and all of Tara’s Friends are in my prayers. I knew Tara from church and school for about 10 years and only regret not knowing her better. She was a wonderful person and I still have a hard time beleaving that she is gone.

    This is such a sad and tragic event. We at Tyro Christian Church are keeping the family in our prayers.

    Jason,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Tara as well, and the last time I spoke with her was about 6 months ago. I remember her telling me about you and how much she enjoyed being with you. I hope that the good lord can lend his strength to you, Tina, and the rest of the Drummond family during thes trying times. You are in our thoughts and prayers, god bless.

    oh man, I am so sorry Jason. I know this doesn’t help the hurt, but please except my condolences. We’ll remember you all in prayer. God bless.

    I was Tara’s boyfriend for 3 years. She meant more than anything to the people who loved her. Had this not happened, I would have asked her to marry me.
