So this last year I have had a lot of thoughts about Tarah. Most of it has been brought on by Diederik calling and telling me stories about Tarah. I have appreciated hearing new stories and have been able to learn about aspects of her life that I would never have otherwise known. Another link was Pam Gustman. She comes to our company and does massages every month and one time something was mentioned about Nedra and after talking it came out that she used to babysit Tarah, and her kids played with her. Her daughter also works there and told the story of her and Tarah trying to do dishes but neither knowing how, due to lack of doing it. They loaded the dishwasher and then put in regular dish soap not dishwasher soap and it bubbled all over the kitchen floor so they just started playing in the suds.
Then through Diederik I have talked to 2 other individuals that knew Tarah very well, one of which is her step sister Michelle Tischner. Troy Fullmer, a family friend, works with her and we did a 3 way call. We also set up a time to go to dinner next week, and I learned a few things. Michelle said her and Tarah used to write letters and she has laminated them and will bring them. In the letters Michelle said she talks about her biological mother. I CANNOT wait to read them.
It would have been so much better if I could have talked to her in person, but since that is not possible, I am looking forward to continue hearing and learning anything and everything I can...
