A Beautiful Lady!
April 5, 2008
Today, December 19, 2007, I learned that Patricia Herron passed away from breast cancer. She was 45 years old and was also a pink scarf recipient.
In my scrapbook I have the card she sent thanking me for the scarf. She says: My friend, Deb Volk, told me about the article in The Tribune and the beautiful scarves you make for people like me. I have received many wonderful compliments each time I wear it. My neck often gets cold and I reach for your scarf for its fuzzy warmth plus it’s so pretty! I am responding well to my chemo treatments and look forward to going into remission again. I have an excellent family and friend support team that have kept me strong and positive – for that I am grateful. Keep up your wonderful work. I apreciate your beautiful gift. Thank you so much.
I had the pleasure of meeting Pattie at last year’s Relay for Life Survivors Banquet. She wanted to have her picture taken with me and her pink scarf. Her wish was granted that evening and I enjoyed the time I had to visit with her.
Pattie, you will be missed!

A Very Special Card!
April 4, 2008
I received a card from Darrell Overcash, President of Mary Kay, Inc. It reads as follows:
Dear Tara,
Kay Elvrum told me about your recent diagnosis of cancer, and I’m so sorry to hear that. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Kay also told me about the pink scarves you knit for other cancer patients. You are truly amazing and such a wonderful inspiration to others. Thank you for showing others you care in such a special way.
Sincerely,
Darrell Overcash

Seminar 2007
April 4, 2008
Each year there’s a big celebration in Dallas, Texas for Mary Kay and it’s usually at the end of July or begining of August. This year I chose not to go because of my mom’s death and my health warranted that I stay home. However, I learned from my director when she returned that my project was mentioned on seminar stage in Dallas, TX, by Mr. David Holl. I was speechless!
