I met through her daughter Anu when I was a student with Anu at Rice University in 1984. Interesting that Tara, like my mother shared a March birthday on the fourth?

I also still remember how both people reacted to the premature death of Anu’s Father and Husband Tara of a Heart attack around 1985 or so.

I remember also each of Anu’s Sisters and theirev distinct personalities.

I also kept up with Tara through Ryan’s annual Christmas letters Which I always enjoyereceiving.

Also I have strong memories Of Tara at the wedding of Ryan and Anu, which I was
Lucky to attend.

The other thing I should mention Is that Tara doted on her Grandchildren, too. Anu and Ryan added Mark and Christopher To her life.

Tara auntie was absolutely one of my favorite people - always so kind, generous, decent, thoughtful, and compassionate. While I can't recall a specific memory, she always felt like a second mother to me, and I am heartbroken by her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May she rest in peace.

I worked with Tara for many years at Baylor College of Medicine here in the Virology Department. I was a Research Assistant initially and later through time promoted to a Department Manager. One of my duties was to supervise the media preparation area. That was when I met Tara. I realized early I wasn't really going to be "The boss". She definitely was the woman in charge of her arena. With that understood, she taught me a lot about chemistry and being patient. She definitely knew patience to a degree, persistence to a degree, and even peppered in a little love and understanding. Not what you might be expecting of a co-worker but more of a family member. I learned a lot through her actions than I did through her words. She demonstrated humanity, a caring nature, and love. She could do all these things and carry herself very seriously all at the same time. She was a true artist in everything she did. I will miss Tara very much. Heaven gained another Angel. She left a few here on earth to keep us company.
I really enjoyed and will always remember her 85th Birthday. It was a blessing to have attended. It was truly and honor.

Our Sympathies go to her family,

Warm Regards,

Steve and Jen Halvorson
