Tara I really enjoyed getting to know you as a new friend and seeing how much you cared for all of our boys and especially your sons. You were always asking how you could help, what our boys needed, and your thoughfulness was evident. Your presence will be truly missed and I will be cheering on your boys twice as loud. Ange and Marius I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Words seem inadequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of Tara Badji.Jean Louis, Dixon, Marius, Ange, and grandma Maggie extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of one of the kindest people we have met. Tara Badji, you were such a thoughtful, generous, and caring person. I remember many years ago I came to the United States, and you welcomed me into your house and treated me as a family member. I have learned so much from you, how to speak and write English, how to use the appliances in the house, how to get ready for a job interview, how to drive a car, and many more… I can't thank you enough. You loved my family like your own. You and my spouse Ada had a strong bond, she is devastated knowing that she won't be able to be around you and laugh like you always do. I can’t omit to mention how much you loved my children, Jayson your godson, and Jaylanie your little friend whom you called Jayra.  They have so many souvenirs from you, clothes, toys, and books. You really spoiled them. I can write a whole book about you.   You were planning to come and stay at our house in Cedar Rapids that weekend, we were all excited to see you again even my mom, unfortunately, because of the weather and the road conditions being bad, you had to cancel. We were sad that you did not come but it is worse now that we know you will never come again. You will be TRULY MISSED, Tara. Though Tara Badji is not there with us anymore and though no one can fill the void her death has created in our lives, I wish the Almighty is always there to bless you, to give you strength and comfort to recover from the deepest sorrow. May our Lord bless Tara and takes her divine soul to rest with Him in heaven where they belong.  In this time of difficulty, we request you to please accept our sincere condolences. With much love and sympathy,

Woow i cannot believe this is happening… You are gone way too soon. I will never forget you and your warm smile being the first to welcome me when I 1st came to the US. we didn't know each other nor spoke the same language but somehow we could understand each other because you spoke the language of kindness and love. You were just a beautiful soul full of good intentions and wanted to share that goodness of your heart with anyone. I will always remember you as the sweet, nurturing, caring woman that you are. I could write so much about you but I will keep it short.I love you and will keep you forever in my heart. My deepest condolences go out to those closest to you. I can genuinely say that you were heaven sent. May your soul rest in peace forever. WE LOVE YOU
