I don't even know what to say...I wish I could just text you know just to catch up. You were such an amazing friend to me and honestly you were more like my sister. I can't believe this whole thing my heart is honestly broken. To mom and dad Clossman I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what you're feeling because I know the love that you're family shared with each other and I was lucky enough to be included in that over the years and for that I cannot thank you enough. You always treated me like family. You all are in my prayers daily and my thoughts even more. I love you all.

Your mother and father proudly shared your story with me at the HB Christmas Party. I was looking forward to meeting you and visiting you in your school. I wanted to hear all about your teaching experiences, your students, and witness you in action. What a wonderful awesome thing to be named Outstanding Educator...it's all about being genuine and letting students know you care. You will never be forgotten and they will always remember how you made them feel. Rest in Peace.

I do not know you or your family. However, I do know that anguish of loosing a child who was close to your daughter's age. There is no greater pain. There are no words. Praying for your comfort and the peace that passes all understanding.

I did know her but I'm sure she was a beautiful person. God has a flower arrangement and he needed one more flower to make his arrangement complete. That flower is Tara so now his arrangement is complete and more beautiful then ever so every time you see a beautiful flower think of Tara and she will be with you. My prayers are with the entire family. God Bless you all.

I did not know Tara personally, but she was a part of my little sister's life. My sister and her best friend Abby, truly adored your daughter. Though I did not know her personally, I have felt the effect of such a horrible and tragic loss to such a beautiful, young and driven woman. There are not enough words to express how sorry I am for your loss, I will be praying for the Clossman family, that God's presence is overwhelming. That you feel his love, and Tara's love every time the sun is on your face, and you feel the wind in your hair. It goes without knowing her, how much of an inspiration she was to her community. Her light is shining bright in every accomplishment she made, and in every child she ever taught. Please know, that your daughter has left a lasting legacy in the short time she was here. I am truly sorry for your loss.

18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart. And He saves those who are broken in spirit.

I know Tara is dancing in heaven with all of the angels. Tara was a pleasure to work with and eat lunch with at Voris. I will never forget Halloween when she dressed up as the tooth fairy! She looked adorable in her big tutu and the students loved it! One of the 1st graders told me he lost a tooth and she was stopping at his house tonight. Tara was a beautiful person with a beautiful heart.

To the Clossman family, we cannot express how deeply broken we are for our loss of our beautiful Tara. We will forever remember the time we had with her, from her first dip in the pool as an infant, the 4th of July "Family reunions", weddings, to her visit with us in Charleston SC. What a joy she has brought to our lives. May we all find peace knowing she will "Dance" in heaven for eternity . Uncle Jerry and Aunt Cathy

I was so deeply saddened to hear of Tara's passing. She worked as a student teacher in my classroom at Crouse while she was attending Kent State. She not only was a wonderfully gifted teacher but a great person. I just saw her at a workshop this past June. Please accept my deepest condolences. She will be terribly missed!

Tara was my suitemate in the fall of 2010 at Coker College. It was our freshman year and it was so awesome to have someone else from Ohio (I'm from Columbus) in that tiny South Carolina town. I too transferred to a school closer to home and we just remained Facebook friends. Tara was kind and lovely to me in the short time that we knew each other. I am heartbroken for the Clossman family and all of her loved ones. I have no words that can properly convey my truest sympathy. I wish you all peace and light during this time. Tara, may you rest peacefully, sweet friend.
All the love,
