Birth Date Anniversary
Balloon Release

On June 28, 2005 Tarik's birthday a group of our friends met on the beach on
Cotuit Bay Shores to release balloons filled with letters and poems in Tarik's
memory. An Asprey bird joined them and hovered about the group as the balloons
were released.
Once again...this is something we intend to do each year.

Letters from Friends & Family
From: Elisabeth & Dave Murray
Dear Tarik,
One memory remains poignant tonight as I write to you and that is a conversation
about art and your interest in architecture, a wish to pursue the study of
architecture. Instead you studied economics ….I wonder why? I guess when you
began your courses at Rice you no longer felt as strongly about art as a career.
I do know you began to think more about medicine and helping people. You with
your sensitive heart would have been a good doctor. I hope you as an angel are
able to help many of heaven’s residents. I watch for the signs that you are
actively pursuing….a system of communicating with your beloved earth family.
Love,
Lib & Dave
From: Parris Bauer
Dearest Tarik,
How I wish I had spent more time with you. Our moments together were few…but I
will forever remember your beautiful smile, your kindness, and gentle spirit.
I know you are here with us as I have felt your presence. Thank you for all the
incredible signs you continue to bring…giving us all hope and peace and knowing
you are still here.
We all miss you very much and I know you know this. I feel so blessed to have
met you and even though I wish you were still here I know you’re soul longed to
move forward spiritually.
I love you Tarik and I love your family. I still look forward to seeing you
again and I know I will someday.
Love,
Parris
From: Phyllis & Bill Walsh
Dear Tarik,
You will always be with us in spirit and through the physical presence of your
parents and your brother.
Let these balloons carry our thoughts and prayers to you.
Love,
Phyllis & Bill
From: Lorna Wallace & Family
Tarik,
Greetings from earth. You have now transcended to an angel in heaven. We miss
your soul, but your spirit will always be within our hearts and memories.
Soar onto your new journeys and may peace always be with you.
Love,
Lorna & Family
From: Brooke Wallace
Tarik,
Your smile and its infectious presence will never be forgotten. There are so few
people who are genuine, but those who are have an overwhelming spirit. In the
time I was able to spend with you I was touched by your warmth. You are a
wonderful person and you live eternally through those who you have and continue
to touch.
