Tara Shermerhorn



A devastating event impacted our family in the past few weeks. My niece, Tara Michelle Shermerhorn was abducted from her home in Goodyear, AZ and murdered by an unstable ex-boyfriend. The impact of this tragedy was felt not only with the family nearby in Arizona but also the many family members located throughout Canada. Everyone assembled Thursday and Friday of last week in Surprise, AZ for the Viewing & Funeral followed by the internment in Goodyear, AZ.


There were many special moments and memories shared with all in attendance. Nevertheless there are no satisfactory words to express the shock, sadness and loss that has been suffered by the loss of this wonderful, special, beautiful young woman.


Over the next few weeks and months as the healing continues I may have more to say but for now we are all dumbfounded by this turn of events.
