THANK YOU
On the passing of our daughter Tara Stamp, sister to Sabrina, Jason and Amy, loving mother of Heath (Cosmo) and Hannah, we say THANK YOU. The words may seem so very simple, and only takes a moment to say, but your kindness will always be remembered.
That night, at our house, the very quick response by the firefighters of Station 4 Creemore, paramedics, advance care paramedics, the police officers and our neighbour Kate. To Dr. Matt and Nurse Jacinta at Collingwood G&M Hospital.
To everyone that has reached out to our family through personal condolences, cards, emails and phone calls, as well as those who sent flowers. To those who provided food, meals, snacks, treats – including the anonymous person in the blue car. With so many people coming, going, staying – it made it so much easier to not have to think about what to make to eat. We were fortunate to have Sabrina be able to stay with us for a few weeks who helped with many things.
To those that joined us at the gathering for Tara, the offers of help in any way, those that made donations. To Jim Ironside and Shaun Hughson for setting up and looking after a fund for Tara’s children (they both decided to return to school in September).
The help from Suzanne and Sarah at Peaceful Transition and then the tribute they put out on Tara’s behalf and all those that shared their condolences and memories through that and all of the varying posts on Facebook. It is so comforting and nice to read how many people Tara really did help in their time of need and how many people’s lives were touched by her.
Not sure if fortunate is the right word, Tara was always free-spirited and at times in her life changed directions like the wind.
Tara left her home in B.C. in the spring. Along her route back to Creemore, she stopped and spent time her children, Hannah in lower B.C. Then in Calgary and spent time with Heath (and Cosmo). Next, she stopped in Kenora and spent two weeks with her sister Amy, Amy’s husband Jon and their son Walker. As luck would have it, Amy had taken several amazing videos of Tara and Walker playing together. In July, Tara was then also able to spend a few days with her sister Sabrina. In September, she spent two weeks with her grandmother Lois Barber.
Tara arrived here in mid-May. While she was here, she spent a lot of quality time with both of us, esp. her father, Garry, helping him work on small and large projects.
A few days before her passing, she had told him that she better soon make a decision whether to go south or back to B.C., as shovelling snow was not on her list of jobs to help with.
I often get teased for taking so many photos and still putting them into photo albums. But listening to everyone going through the albums, there was laughter, tears, stories and many memories that make it all worthwhile!
It only takes a second to create a memory – don’t hide all of them on your phone.
Again, thank you to all, for your support in any way; it will not be forgotten!
Garry & Colleen Stamp and the rest of the Stamp Collection
