Bonnie wrote:

“Tara didn't want a funeral, only a memorial service. She put it altogether and she will be speaking to all of us (probably to thousands) Saturday. It will be in a very large church (holds 3 thousand) and dinner will be served after. We are leaving (Rustburg, Virginia) Wednesday morning. I am not sure when we will back, depends on Ciara.”

There were several cancer benefits for Tara this year, including by The Custard Stand in Mannington.

The Bower family has had a tough run in recent years. Tara’s brother, Mike, has been underdoing chemo treatment this year. Tara’s father, Pastor Timothy L. Brower of Wadestown, passed away in 2008. Tara’s aunt, Carolyn Lee Stewart of Clarksburg,  passed away Jan. 8, 2014
