    I recall when Kelly first met Tara. Kelly had met her at BayCon, a sci-fi convention I had convinced Kelly to attend. So glad I had finally convinced Kelly to attend that convention. Those two were great for each other, making each other very happy. Tara was a gem, and I never, ever, saw her mad, though she did a great grumble on a few topics. Tara was a joy to be around. Tara was eloquent, caring, and she had a wonderful smile and easy laugh. I will miss Tara, and the joy she brought to Kelly, to my family and me, to so many people. Jeff Warwick
