Tarina is our beautiful daughter, sister, girlfriend and best friend. Tarina was born at 8:08 PM on Friday August 29, 1980. She passed away at 1:30 AM on Friday February 21, 2003 in a head on automobile accident on State Route 51 at milepost 7.3 just north of Northern Ave in Phoenix Arizona.

From the Saturday 02/22/2003 Mesa Tribune. “A 22-year-old Tempe woman was killed in a head-on collision on State Route 51 about 1:30 AM Friday. Arizona Department of Public Safety officer Steve Volden said Tarina Knapp was traveling north on the freeway when she was struck by a vehicle driven by 83-year-old Phoenix resident Dorotha Thomas, traveling south in the northbound lanes. Tarina died at the scene and Thomas was taken to John C Lincoln Hospital in critical condition, Volden said.”

Tarina volunteered in her community as a blood donor with United Blood Services of Arizona. Tarina is survived by Mom & Dad and stepfather Frank, sister Jeaneen Wiian Knapp and niece Ivoriee Lee Knapp, brother Randy Lewis Knapp, sister Valerie Correll, three stepbrothers and family and many many friends.

Interment at City of Mesa Cemetery 1212 N Center St Mesa Arizona 85201 block 1223 lot 4 grave 1.

As parents, sisters, brothers and best friends we know Tarina is with God but God we wish she were here.

Tarina your brother Randy turned 25 years old. He is growing up into a young man. Happy birthday Randy. I have a reminder in my computer that pops each time I start my computer each day. You are 25 now and I am very proud of you. I wish we had a better relationship but I understand how you may feel with the loss of your sister. I just want you to know that we are able to award 2 scholarships each year through Arizona State University in Tarina’s name. You are beautiful and dynamic for being my son. You are very special. God bless you son. God bless you Tarina.

WOW. So I'm sitting here thinking about what ever happened to a girl, I used to know, named Tarina Knapp. I come across this page. I'm thinking to myself, you have to be kidding me. This cannot be right. NO. It isn't. However, it is. There isn't words to describe what I have just seen._____I remember you being 13 and I being 16. We were in Colorado Springs in junior high. We were just kids. You told me to never forget you and I haven't. It has been a long time and although I have grown up, I don't forget the times we had. I am sure you are still as silly as when I remember you at 13. Your friends look awesome, you have a supporting family, and I am sure you had a great time being yourself. WOW____ still speechless. You know, there is probably nothing I can say at this point than saying I wish I could have a smile and a laugh with you at this time. I'm guessing that I will have to wait until another date and time to do so. Keep your head up and don't let anything stop you. We, as friends,family,and mier distant acquaintances will remember you and keep you in our hearts. Your awesome and I am keeping my promise. Although we have moved on in our lives, I will not forget you. Thank you for keeping me, along with your family and friends, alive and inspired to do great things.

Jeremy Sweet 22-Feb-2007 07:46
Tarina,

Wow. Four years today. I still think about you every single day and if a day has passed in which I didn't, I do not remember it! Your death truly rocked my world and I have never truly been able to settle it. I think of you, and you inspire me to do better things in life. And when the better things get tough, I think of you again, and I pull through, with strength that you have given me. I carry a tattooed image of you, not on my body, but in my heart and in my mind at all times. I will always carry you with me and you will never be forgotten. This world was a better place with you in it. I hope you hear me when I talk to you, I hope you see me when I visit you and I hope you feel me when I think of you. I love you, I miss you and I am sorry...Jeremy

Gosh Tarina,

Its still so hard to think of you not here with me on earth. I miss my best friend and I think of you often. I had a little girl in April and her middle name is Brooke after you !! I'm sorry that I have not been to your grave in 2 years. Its so hard because I just want to ignore that you even have a grave. I want my friend. I want you to meet my little girl. I want to give you a hug and let you know that you have NEVER left my heart !!!

Tarina-
Happy early birthday! It's not even your birthday yet and I'm still sitting here crying! It's been over 3 years and it still hurts just as much as it did the first day. You were one of a kind friend and I will never meet anyone like you again. You always smiled, no matter what you made the best out of every situation. I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday with me, your friends, and family. I hope someone is throwing you a huge birthday bash up there and taking good care of you! I love you and I miss you! I can't wait to see you again!

Hi Jeff, Sorry for your loss. Tarina is a beautiful girl. I know what it is like to lose a child. I lost my Son Brian in 1988. He was 18 when he was taken from me and his Mon. It will be 17 years Oct 31. But is seems like yesterday. My prayers are with you.

Thanks for coming to my site. And I will be back to your galleries soon.

Take Care,

To tarina's family.I was a friend of her a long time ago. I just wanted you to know that I feel deeply for you. My husband just lost his yopunger brother at 23 almost the same way and I see how it tears him up inside. My thoughts are with you.

Tarina-

You are in my thoughts every day, and every day I think about how much I miss you. I will never forget the fun times we had living together and I will never forget the painfull day when you left us. We had so much fun togethere whether we were at work, home, or out on the town! I know you are happy wherever you are and I know you are smiling because you never failed to do so when you were here. You are an inspiration to me in my every day life and I can never thank you enough for that. I miss you dearly and you will always be in my heart and forever my roommate!
Guest 28-Jun-2005 06:00
I knew tarina when she lived in the springs used to hangout with her and a girl named tina. I still have letters that she sent me and pics. Even know it has been years since we spoke and this happened I still feel like it happened yesterday. I mourne the loss of my old friend Tarina. My heart and prayers go out to her family.

Greg Moss 25-Dec-2004 18:43
When I say I feel your pain, I do not say it in the manner of a certain disingenuous former President. My daughter, Kimberly Rochelle Moss, was killed on September 4th, 1998, at 9:07 PM while walking along an unlit country road in Grand Rapids, MI. She was struck from behind by a van and was killed instantly. She is 22 years old forever. Your beautiful tribute to Tarina brought a flood of memories crashing down on my head this Christmas Day. I will never get over Kimberly's being gone. I will always miss her. There is no "closure," a word the media likes to bandy about so frivolously. Life goes on, and you go on, but there is no end to the grief. Sometimes it sneaks up on you and taps you on the shoulder. Sometimes it hits you like a tsunami. Each of us finds our own way of dealing with it. May God give you strength and peace in the days to come. Thank you for sharing your Tarina with us.
Sarah 28-Nov-2004 05:03
I finally got the oppertunity to visit with you Tarina. It took almost two years to build up the courage to go and see you and I fanally did! I love you so much and I try so hard to live my life with all of the ambition that you had. My whole family went with me to see you and I hope you know what an angel you are to all of us! Everytime I go back to AZ I will make it a point to see you. I miss you more then words can say.


Sarah
chad 27-Nov-2004 19:04
i think your tribute to your daughter is amazing.

you pay visits to my sister on a regular basis...yes. amy is my sister. she died way too young, as did your daughter. however she did lead a full life. she was an astounding person, and i appreciate that you visit her...sometimes i get to wrapped up in my life to visit her as often as i should. so i just wanted to say thank you. i feel your loss, and i know that your daughter - and my sister - are with god now.

may they fly among the angels forever.

feel free to e-mail me. take care.

I haven't written to you in a long time and I am sorry for that, but I still talk to you everyday and I still visit you quite often. I cannot tell you how much I miss having you around me to talk to and hang out with. Although we didn't live together longer then a year I still cherish every moment we spent together. I remember your laugh, your smile, your beautiful brown eyes, and the way your room looked that day when you left for work. I remember the last words we said to each other as you went on your way on that tragic night. I will never forget the way you looked at me, smiled and said you would call me the next day. Little did I know that you wouldn't be calling me ever again. I called your cell phone a few times and you didn't answer, and that was not like you. We couldn't go a day without talking 3 or 4 times about anything and everything. I feel so lucky to have spent your last night dancing, laughing, and being around you. You were so happy that night and I know for a fact that you are sad that you can't be here to comfort your friends and family but I know that you are smiling down on us. When my Grandpa passed away last month, I was holding his hand while his heart slowly stopped and I asked him to take good care of you. I also asked him to give you a hug for me since I am not there to do it myself. I know it has been over a year since we last saw each other but I want you to know how much I think about you. The smallest things in my every day life remind me of you. Remember how we would go out at night and then come home and play Uno? People thought we were crazy but we didn't care because we had so much fun doing it. Or how about last Christmas when we went and picked out or own Christmas tree? We could barely get it up the stairs let alone into the tree stand. I remember starting Chili's at the same time as you. We went through training together, turned 21 together, and had some really fun and memorable experiences there. You have made such an impact on my life Tarina. I thank God everyday that you and I had the chance to work together, live together, and build a strong friendship. You have taught me to live life to fullest and never give up on anything. It's amazing how much I learned from you in the 2 years that we were friends. You were truly a wonderful person. I keep telling myself that we will see each other again some day, but that day wont come soon enough. Thank you for all the memories and good times. I will never forget how valuable you were in my life. I miss you so much and I hope you are looking down on me smiling. Thank you for being my own personal angel! I love you girl!
Jeremy Sweet 11-Mar-2004 21:13
Tarina-Unbelievably enough a full year has already passed. I miss you so very much! February 21st was tough to accept for what it was. I thought about you all day! They say you never know what you have until its gone. You epitomize that expression! I never had a chance to say good-bye and that haunts me every single day. I don’t know when this reality becomes easier to understand, but to this point I still don’t get it. I hate the thought of never being able to see you again, or never being able to talk to you again, or never being able to smile with you again, no matter how bad I want to!!! It is so frustrating to have to think about and accept that incredibly unfair reality! I still don’t want to believe it. I never knew a more beautiful person. You set a standard in my life that I can only hope to find in somebody else some day. Your charisma, attitude, and personality were unmatched! You’ll be in my heart forever Tarina! I really hope that you know that! I love you, I miss you and I am sorry………….Jeremy
Dennis 07-Mar-2004 05:39
I have two sisters of my own, and I life would not be the same if they weren't here. Thank you for sharing this gallery of Tarina. I will take it to heart for the rest of my life to never take family for granted.

Dennis
Guest 02-Mar-2004 20:02
This gallery is so touching. This girl must have been so special to have all these people love her so much! When I read this gallery it made me realize how short life is, that forgivness is not only good for your soul, but also good for a happier exsistence. I just recently spoke to a person that I hadn't spoken to in years because of huge falling out between the two of us. Now we talk everday. I can't imagine if she had died and I never got the chance to tell her that I forgive her, where I would be spiritually right now. So to all those people out there who have enemies that used to be friends, forgive, forgive, forgive! It's not worth it! God bless everyone on this page who have shared their thoughts and feelings.
Guest 02-Mar-2004 13:23
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

Ilove you Tarina!!!

Tarina,
It has been a while since I lost posted here. I guess I just want to ingnore the fact that you are no longet here on earth. I know that you are still with me I feel you often. I hope you know how much I love you. You still are my very best friend. I was back in AZ. in Nov. and I never even went to see you. I feel horrible about this but to be honest I just could not do it. I don't want to remember you like that. I want all of my memory's to be of you here! I hope that you will forgive me. Tarina there is not a day that goes bye that I don't think of you. I swear even now today you are the best listener. You are still with me!!!

Love always, Sarah
Jeremy Sweet 03-Feb-2004 08:26
Tarina- Almost one full year has passed and the reality of it all is still so very unbelievable! I miss you so much! There are still no perfect words to describe how much you meant to me, how much I miss you or how much I think about you! I hope that you can see me when I visit you and I hope that you can hear me when I talk to you! I can still picture your beautiful face, those beautiful eyes, and that beautiful smile! They say that nobody's perfect, but you came pretty close! I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry..........Jeremy

School Friend 05-Dec-2003 12:43
I can’t tell you how much this website means to me. I knew Tarina through school and she was a very special girl. After she passed I had gone through the phone book several times looking for her grave with no luck. Now I can finally tell her good bye. Tarina was smart, kind, and beautiful. She will be missed, but never forgotten.
Jeremy Sweet 27-Nov-2003 19:01
Happy Thanksgiving Tarina!!!!!!!!!
Guest 01-Nov-2003 13:32
God gives us things and people but only for a little while. He lets us turn these beautiful temples of GOD into a treasure to be stored in heaven and then when he has let us make remarkable people and beautifuls souls of them, then he takes them home for their real purpose, GODs purpose. Tarina is beautiful and think of the angels she is dancing with in heaven and doing it for the ones she left behind.

Love is the only thing that we take to heaven.
Hope this might help sooth the heart.

Tarina- I thought about you so much today but that isn't much different than most days! I miss you so much!!! Visiting you still seems so incredibly surreal. I continue to hope that you are watching down on me and know how much I miss you. I would give the world to have our lives cross paths just one more time. I miss everything that we shared together in such a short time. I miss joking with you, laughing with you, and most of all, just being with you! Our lives coincided perfectly at one time and it absolutely crushes me to know that I will never have another chance to experience that again! That particular feeling of happiness and ease that radiated from your smile, your eyes, your mood, and just your attitude for life. I wish that it didn't take what it did to teach me this, but thanks for showing me how to smile more each and everyday. I've learned that it is good to be a little carefree sometimes no matter what chores and obligations life throws at me. You meant the world to me Tarina and I never got that last chance to tell you that. I truly hope that you can hear me now! I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry................Jeremy

Thankyou for sharing this with the world, I am very sorry for you loss. She was lucky to have had so many people that loved her so much.

Jeff, This is a touching gallery, and put together wonderfully. Sorry for your loss. She is certainly in good hands. God Bless.

Hi my little Tarine Bean! I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking ot you today! I miss you so much and no matter how hard I try the pain just does not leave my heart. I'm moving onto Base Housing in December and I went through some old boxes and I found a video of us lip singing to baby got back! I honestly think you have the best smile out of any person I have ever seen! You just seemed to light up any room you went to. Tarina I know this is selfish of me but I wan't you back! No person in this world knew me like you did. We were best friends and it's just not fair that you are gone. I bought my ticket to go back home. I will be back Nov 22nd - Dec.6th I'm going to get ahold of your dad and see if he want's to go visit you with me. I love you Tarina and I promice I will never forget you!

Thank you for your thoughtful message at my gallery. I was stunned to see your heartbreaking photos and hope that there is some peace that you have found in posting your photos and sharing your loss. As a father of four sons age 25 to 3, I can't imagine losing any of them and a greater loss cannot be imagined for a parent. My thoughts are with you and all others in your situation.

Tarina, Sorry it has taken me so long to write. I am finally all moved into my new apartment. As I was unpacking all of my stuff that has been in storage since your accident I had so many memories brought back to me. My apartment is not the same without you. I miss you being my roommate and my best friend. Every Thursday night I think about you, knowing that Thursday nights were girls night out to Maloney's. It's not the same without you. Tonight I went to the last place you and I saw each other. All I could think about was how lucky I was that I was able to spend your last night here with you. I remember exactly what you were wearing and how you smiled at me when I dropped you off at your car that night. Thank you so much for spending your last night with me. I've gone to visit you many times this last month and I can't tell you how much I smiled on your birthday while I was visiting you. I thought about your birthday last year, we had so much fun dancing. I am so lucky to have had you as a roommate and I hope you know that you will always be in my heart. Your pictures are all over my apartment and anyone that knows me, knows about you. Thank you for being the person you are, you have taught me so much about being thankful for everything in life. I miss you so much but I am to the point where I can't help but smile every time I think about you. Thank you for everything, I truly do miss you here with me.
Jeremy Sweet 17-Sep-2003 07:54
Tarina- So much time has passed and yet still none of this has become easier to accept. Accepting your fate seems truly impossible. I selfishly feel cheated. Cheated out of that last chance to see you, that last chance to hear your voice, and most importantly, that last chance to say good-bye!!! As a matter of fact, as time passes, accepting this unbelievable reality only seems to get harder. Why do things have to be this way??? Why did fate choose this route when it had so many different options??? Tarina, I think about you everyday and you are constantly on my mind. I miss you so very much!!! I would give anything for that last chance to see you, that last chance to hear your voice, and again, most importantly, that last chance to say good-bye. I will never be the same without you and our memories will last forever!!! You are such an incredibly beautiful girl and I will never forget a minute of the time we shared together. I will love you forever and miss you always. I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry......Jeremy

WHY ARE YOU MY FRIEND

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. In a specific point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one, who got slapped, was hurt, but without anything to say, he wrote in the sand: "TODAY, MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE". They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who got slapped and hurt started drowning, and the other friend saved him. When he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE" The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone?" The other friend, smilingly replied:

"When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness erase it away. And when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it"

Learn to write in the sand, when you have differences and hurt feelings with your friend. Learn to write in stone when your friend had done some thing really good to you.

Happy belated birthday to Tarina and Sarah.
Sarah 30-Aug-2003 00:52
Happy B-Day my Tarine Bean! I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts on this very speacial day! I celibrated my b-day on the 25th and the day just did not seem the same with out you. I can still hear your voice and your laugh in my head and I hope that it never goes away! I hope that you had lots of visitors today! I feel so bad that I can't be there! I will be there in December so I promice we will hang out! I still feel you all of the time and I know you are watching down on all of us. I only hope that someday you will be able to explane to me why you left this earth so soon. I just can't help but believe that god took you by accident! I know this makes me sound so hatefull but why were you the one that had to go? Why did a woman get to live that already lived her life? I'm sure that someday you will explain this to all of us! Tarina I love you so much and you are still my very best friend I realy hope you know that.

Love always, Sarah

Tarina. it's half a year today. we miss you so much. we know you are with God watching over us all. bless you my child. you are loved and you are missed.
Guest 21-Aug-2003 07:01
Tarina- Half a year has passed and still I mourn. My heart is still filled with anger, regret, disbelief, and sorrow. I would give anything for just one more chance to see you, one more chance to hold you, one more chance to talk to you, one more chance to say good-bye!!! I think about you everyday and I reminisce. I think about what could have been. I hate having to accept that you are gone. I hate knowing that no matter what I do, I can never hear your voice again, I can never look into your eyes again, and I can never see you smile again!!! This reality makes me sad. I continue to only hope and pray that you are watching over all of us and that you can see how much you are loved and missed! Tarina, I would give anything for another day with you, another conversation with you, another moment with you. I will never forget you. I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry...Jeremy
Guest 30-Jul-2003 02:01
Hey My Tarina Beana! I just wanted to pop in and say that I love you so much and you are still in my heart everyday! I thaught that things would be easeyer to handle as time has gone bye but its not. The loss of you has put this empty feeling in my heart. I feel you often and I just wish I could reach out and give you one last hug goodbye! My dad said that he went and saw you and that made me happy because I never ever want you to feel alone. There are so many people here on earth that carry you in there heart every day. Gosh I wish I could convince myself that this was real because I still feel like it is a bad dream! Every day I wake up hopeing that you are here on earth. Hey I guess you can't blame me for wanting the angels up there to share you with us. I love you Tarina you will forever be my best friend!

Love always,
Sarah

I followed this link from a photography site and was immediately pulled into this story and photo passage. By the end of it I was in tears. What a beautiful tribute, what a heartbreaking loss.

The world is a dimmer place without her.

God bless and strength to you all.

Tarina, I just wanted to stop in and say that I have not stopped thinking about you. I miss you so much and I wish so much that I could just give you one last hug good bye! I think about the last night I saw you and I wish so much that I would have known that that night was going to mean our true good bye. I want to let you know that you will forever be my best friend no matter how much time goes bye. I also want to let you know that my sister is having a little girl and her Daughters first name is going to be Brooke after your middle name. You mean so much to out family and I want you to know that I will never forget you!

Love always, Sarah

Jeff (and fellow Zonie),
Thanks for your kind comments on my Arizona gallery. We have a son who was also born in 1980 and I can only imagine the sadness from losing a daughter so lovely and in the prime of her life. Thanks for sharing your tribute to her.
Leonard Smallacombe18-Jun-2003 03:32
Jeff - I came across your photos after reading the kind comment you left concerning my flag picture at the Arizona Memorial. The pictures of your daughter brought tears to my eyes. She is truly beautiful and I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you.
dvc photography16-Jun-2003 20:29
Jeff, thanks for the nice comment you left on my site. Whenever people leave comments, I tend to check out their galleries. I saw Tarina's gallery and my instantly heart sank. Although I never met her, I am deeply saddened. Tarina seemed like a true diamond in the rough and one in a million. I am so sorry to learn about your loss. Nobody should ever have to go through what you have. The world will not be the same without her.
Lorraine 15-Jun-2003 01:38
I met Tarina a while ago through Sarah Spielmann. I am so sorry for your loss. The day that she was taken away from you my beautiful twins were being born. I know this is something that doesn't even come close to easing your pain, but it makes me feel better knowing that she is in heaven looking down on them and all of us. Even though I only knew her for a short time, she was very sweet and Sarah and her seemed to be close. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
Guest 13-Jun-2003 21:55
I believe that we are placed in this life to learn, and to teach. We, as individuals learn,and, in turn,we also teach others a vital lesson. Sometimes the lessons we learn are difficult, painful, almost unbearable lessons that we feel are too much to bear, and, equally, the lessons we teach to others may not feel as though they are fair, and right, for anyone. We then take these lessons onto our next paths, and we learn from our previous mistakes.
I am not, in any way, trying to rock the boat, stir up feelings of contempt, or start up a religious debate, but I am pointing out that the harsh lessons are those of which we gain the greatest knowledge, no matter how painful it is. To all those who knew this young woman: you will all have some aquisition of knowledge, and some great insight to carry on with you for this life, and the next. The scars will eventually fade, but will never be forgotten. Perhaps that is how it is meant to be. My heart goes out to you all.
Robin Mitchell06-Jun-2003 14:49
I am sorry for the loss to family and friends of this beautiful, vibrant young woman.
Guest 27-May-2003 05:29
Dear Tarina,
I guess this is my only way to let you know how much I'm thinking about you. I think about you every day. Not a day goes by that I don't wish you were here living the life with me. I just keep telling myself that one day you and I will be roommates again. I will miss you so much this summer because last summer you and I spent everyday together. We experienced so much and I am thankful for that. You know that BJ is in a coma right now, and I really hope you are looking out for him. I know him and his family are suffering right now but I have faith that you will bring them strength to pull through. I see your friends everywhere I go, and I see people who haven't heard about you. I hesitate to tell them b/c I don't want them to feel the pain that I feel and have felt for 3 months now. Of course I tell them, and watch their expression go from happy to sad. I tell them to think of you as their personal angel that will stand by their side through anything and will bring them strength. I know you are always looking out for me, your friends, and your family and I thank you for that. I hope you are smiling down on all of us b/c we all miss you so much!
Jeremy Sweet 10-May-2003 09:13
Tarina- Nearly three months have passed since that dark, unjust night in February. Still to this day when I try to understand, I only find denial and disbelief! I visit you quite regularly, sometimes with others, many times alone. It is very comforting to sit with you and I feel very close to you when I am there. I only hope that you are looking down on me and can share the moment! Not a day has gone passed in which I have not though of you. Often in the course of my day, whether at work or just driving alone in my car, I will hear a song that was played at your funeral, such as "The Wind Beneath My Wings" or "I Love You Always Forever" and my day will change, sometimes for the rest of the day. Those songs silence me, turn knots in my stomach, and remind me of how very much I truly miss you!!! Tarina, you were such a beautiful girl, a beautiful woman, and a beautiful person. My thoughts and memories of you will never escape me. I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry......Jeremy
Guest 24-Apr-2003 23:37
Wow! Um.... I dont even realy know where to begin. First of all I want to say that Tarina I'm so sorry for not posting sooner. Its just that Im still in such shock. I dont want to believe any of this is true, I think that I'm still trying not to believe any of this has happened. I wish I could just have one more day. One more day to tell you how much I love you. One more day to tell you what a impact you have made on my life. One more day to tell you how much our friendship ment and to tell you that you are like a sister to me. I wish I just had one more day to tell you to be brave and not to be scared becuase you are about to become the best angel that has eve exisited. Tarina Im not going to ever forget you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or cary you in my heart with me. I LOVE YOU !!!!

Love Always,
Sarah
Jeffrey Lewis Knapp22-Apr-2003 01:18
Tarina. it's been 2 months since your accident. we miss you so much and we love you always. you are truly loved by many. lots of Love from dad...
Jeremy Sweet 21-Mar-2003 07:13
Tarina- Days added up, weeks went by, and now a full month has passed since you've been gone. I'm sure I speak for many when I say that it isn't any easier today than it was the first day to accept this horrible reality. I still lay in bed at night picturing your beautiful face. You are still the first thing on my mind every morning when I wake up. Part of me still believes that this CAN'T be true! Although we were out of touch, I always knew in my heart that you were still within reach. That is no longer the case. Again, this is NOT fair. I've met your father. He is a marvelous man. I wish the two of you had more time to spend together. I've visited your grave several times and it never seems real. Did you get my rose??? Do you hear my prayers??? Do you know that I am thinking of you??? Your best friend told me that you are teaching us something. I'll just have to trust her on that one. You are on my mind daily and in my heart forever! I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry............Jeremy
Guest 18-Mar-2003 23:16
Tarina clearly must have been a joy to you and her memory will live with you always. My 21 year old son, Jeffrey, was killed in a flying accident back in 1989, and I have been in that dark and sad place. It took me years of recalling every event and image of our live together before I could come to terms with the huge hole in my heart. I hope you find peace and comfort some day.
Pennie 18-Mar-2003 17:30
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun
without rain....he did promise strength for the day and comfort for
the tears and light for the way. One of the sweetest Angels who
could ever be lifted to the heavens is there with God now.
Guest 17-Mar-2003 19:17
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear of your recent loss. The pictures of her dad by the casket were very touching since I am a father of a beautiful little girl also.
guest 09-Mar-2003 15:56
Very sad to hear about the loss of a young life. This also begs the question of whether this 83 year old driver was fit to be on the road in the first place. When was the last time she was tested for her driving abilities?
Jeremy Sweet 03-Mar-2003 06:38
Tarina- Since you have gone, I have driven past your old house, attended your visitation, your funeral, spoken to your best friend, collected pictures of you, driven Northbound on the 51 just south of Northern, had a drink at Houston's and much, much more and yet I still can't believe it!!! These actions of mine are supposed to comfort me, console me, and bring you back to me but that just isn’t happening. Remember how you were me and I was you??? This is NOT how it is supposed to be! This is not fair!! I can not fathom you being gone. I will miss you forever!!! My mind is left in disbelief, my heart crushed by sorrow, my stomach churns with regret. I yearn so selfishly for that last conversation we never had! My only consolable hope is that you can see me now and know that I am thinking of you!!!!!!! You are so truly beautiful, inside and out!!! The sparkle in your eyes and the glow of your smile will never be forgotten!!!!!!! Your smile was unmistakable!!! Tarina, I say this with the sincerest of words, I love you, I miss you, and I am sorry!!!! You will be in my heart and mind forever and always…………JEREMY
Lindsy 02-Mar-2003 23:15
Tarina was so beautiful, genuine, independent, strong, loving, and all around a great person. She was my roommate for 8 months, although we have known each other for over 2 years. She would come home and be so excited to tell me about her day or anything exciting that had happened to her. She was always so happy and high on life. I really miss her coming home and walking through the door with her beautiful smile. I miss her friendship and I miss her laugh. She will always be in my heart.
Herman 01-Mar-2003 10:51

She is such a beautiful girl and I believe she is with God now.
