Tara Reid

I first met Tara in elementary school and then continued into high school. When I look back I just remember she had a personality that shined and a smile that was so infectious that it just made you smile back. She certainly had a zest for life. I'd like to offer my sincere condolences to her family, friends, and anyone else that was lucky enough to have known Tara. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful soul. Rest in Peace, Tara

I'm just hearing about this now, and wanted to take a minute to send my condolences to friends and family and anybody whose life was touched by Tara. I had not seen her in many years, but remember her being an absolutely beautiful person - inside and out. Sending thoughts to her immediate family and hope you remember all the good times!

One of the kindest and most gentle people that the I had the honour of knowing. Tara I cannot begin to express how much I will miss you and the person you were.

Tara was one of my oldest and best friends. It has been so hard to watch her decline over the years but the love and care you gave her every single day for so long makes me so proud to call you my friend, Mike. You were her everything and she would be so proud of you. I wish you, Madden and Chase so much love and strength to get through the weeks. Love you guys so much!

Wish we had the chance to know you Tara, but you were only 2 years old when we left. We will still cherish the memories/pictures of your younger years when you and dad walked the runway. You turned out to be a beautiful soul. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. Sweet sweet dreams till we all meet on the other side.

Mike, Madden, Chase, Donna, Lawrence and family, My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. I will always remember Tara’s beautiful soul and the amazing way she was able to bring joy and laughter to every occasion. Love and miss you T 💜

I haven’t seen Tara in many years but memories of her are all of kindness, laughter and enduring friendship. She was a true friend when I had very few. I am so sorry for her family. Her loss is heartbreaking.

Hello Mike My condolences to you and your children. May Tara rest in peace.

Mike, Madden and Chase we are so very sorry for your loss. Hang on tight to all of the wonderful memories you made together as a family. Tara’s spirit will live on through the two beautiful gifts she gave to you Mike…your sons. Sending peace and love to the three of you.

There are some people that when you think of them, you only remember smiles, laughter and a good heart. I haven’t seen Tara in a while, but that’s all I can remember from high school or afterwards socially. I could see her as an awesome teacher and mom. I really, really wish I was saying these things to you sooner Tara. Huge hugs - Greg.

Dear Tara our words cannot express the joy you've brought us these many years. You were the brightest star in our world and your passing will bring many tears. Your mom Donna treasured and loved you so much and in your many months of need that love was so evident in the tender way she cared for you. Your Mom and Lawrence were your only angels providing the love and care you so deserved and desperately needed. Your sons Madden and Chase have lost the greatest mother any child could have and their hearts will forever be filled with the sadness of losing you. No one can replace your love for them, and no one can replace your place in their lives. I will always remember you as the most joyful person I had the fortune of spending time with and the unreserved love you had for everyone. You brought joy to everyone, and we will always remember that. We will be so much better if we could reflect just a little bit of the love that came to you so naturally. Your Mom and Lawrence, your sons, your cousins, aunts and uncles will miss you so much but we can always cherish the short time in which you made our lives so much more joyful. Brian DeFreitas.

My dear Tara, I can not stop thinking about you. I remember how you said “Nanny with a sweet little twang. I remember how your gentle arms would come from behind and embrace me. How you would play with my hair, while we would chat. We weren’t in each other’s lives every day but whenever we had the opportunity to be together was a special time for me. I am fortunate to have been blessed with such a beautiful, kind, smart and loving granddaughter. To Madden and Chase, I am so sad that you have lost your mom. I know she loved you both and was very proud of you. I love you both very much. Your Great-Nanny xo To my dear daughter Donna and her husband Lawrence may the pain of your loss be tempered with the knowledge that Tara was surrounded by your love and care everyday. I’m so very sorry, and I love you very much xo

I worked with Tara at Barney’s many years ago but wanted to share my deepest sympathy to her family. Tara was always smiling, always laughing and so much fun to be around, whether we were working or out having fun. My husband (Greg Reed) went to JP and also remembers that same Tara. I am truly so sorry to hear of her passing. May all of your sweet memories comfort you in these difficult times.

Michael, I am so sorry. I know that Tara was your partner in every way - best friend - wife - love. The days ahead may be challenging but know you are not alone. I love you xo Michelle

Madden and Chase, I don’t think there are any words I can say that will make things feel better right now. I hope you both will find comfort in how much your mom loves you and how much you are loved by the whole family! Together we will keep you moms memory alive! I love you both every minute xoxo Love Aunt Michelle

Tara, every time I saw you there was always a smile on your face, and you lit up the room with your laughter! You were an amazing mom to Madden and Chase, and made motherhood look like a breeze - I admired that so much! You will be so dearly missed by all of us. ❤️

Growing up Tara was someone who I always looked up to. She was soo incredibly beautiful, her laughter was infectious, she was always kind, fun and most of all full of light. At family events she was the life of the party and always giving a helping hand to her mother. Tara was a proud mother of two gorgeous boys and a loving wife. She will be forever in our hearts. She is an Angel and will no doubt be watching over Donna, Madden, Chase and Mike. - Jennifer, Alexander, Bohdan Ruzycky

Tara will always be in our hearts as the joyful and loving soul she always was. To be in her presence was to be in a happy environment and her joy in being with everyone was a joy that transcends. A beautiful person inside and out, a loving daughter, a perfect mother, and a beautiful niece. Tara was a welcoming person and a perfect human being deserving of all of the best things that life could offer. Tara brought joy and laughter to every visit with her family and everyone will dearly miss her presence. She will always be a bright smile in everyone's memory and a treasure to remember. You are so loved by everyone you met and now we all will have a void in our hearts that cannot be filled. Rest now and walk among the heavens. Love you always, Deborah and Brian.

Tara you were fun and easy going and I will miss our talks and especially your laugh. You truly were a kind and warm person and it’s sad that you’re no longer here with us. Cindy, Henry, Louis and I will cherish our memories off you and you will live forever in our hearts 🥰 We promise to always be there for Madden and Chase, because of how much you loved them.

I knew Tara from high school, and while I have not seen her in many years, I always remember her as someone who was friendly, outgoing and always smiling. May you hold your memories close. With my sincerest condolences.

We are all saddened by this news. We have all been praying for Mike, Madden,Chase, Donna and Shawn. May We all remember the good times, and fun stories of Tara. Love you lots Tara, may you rest in the sweetest of peace.❤️

I knew Tara from Highschool. Regrettably, I hadn't see her for years. But I remember her fun-loving laugh and outstandingly friendly personality very fondly. She was an excellent person, and a wonderful friend. I know she will be deeply missed my many. To her family, friends, and loved ones, please accept my condolences.
