What a horrible, horrible accident. My heart goes out to your family and also to your instructor. I'm sure he is just stricken with guilt. You are a beautiful young lady with a beautiful smile.

Where are the words to describe this tragedy? There are none. Tara's family should know that she died a hero, doing her duty, and doing what she loved.

Go rest high on that mountain, dear sister; your work on earth is done. May the perfect peace of Jesus Christ comfort, sustain, and strengthen your family and friends.

I am so very, very sorry to hear of the death of Tara Drummond. I know my fiancee (who was killed almost two years ago) was waiting for Tara to show her around Heaven and make sure she is taken care of and safe.

There are no words to express my sincere sympathy. When I read Tara's odmp page I got shills. We dont always know why things happen the way they do - but I'm sure that Tara's family and friends can rest assurred that she did what she was ment to do on this Earth. It doesn't make anything right or better - but I will be praying for Tara's family, friends, and department.

My deepest condolences to the Drummond Family and the Kennesaw Police Department in this time of sorrow. I have had the privilege of working with Tara's cousin for the past 14 years. I was with him when he received the call of this tragedy. I'm sure she would have been every bit as good and Officer as he is. May you rest in peace Tara, and may you family find peace in your passing by relying on your family in blue

Officer Drummond,

My wife and I were so sad when we heard of your passing on the news. Now that I see your picture I notice what a beautiful smile you have. Thank you for answering the call to be a Police Officer. My prayer is that GOD through our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST will comfort your family and all loved ones as they attempt to finish out this present life without being able to hold you (physcially). May they take comfort in the fact that your Spirit is still very much alive. May we all take comfort in the fact that "life is a vapor to eternity" and this life is not our final hope and destination. To Tara's family: JESUS loves you so very much and when you don't feel HIS presence or know that HE is near know that HE is just giving you space.

Praying for You,

Ricky Herrera

For everything there is a reason. I do not know or understand why GOD takes so many so soon. He knows all. Have faith in the Lord he will give you comfort. I will keep you all in my prayers. May the Lord hold you in his arms and give you the comfort you need.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Officer Drummond. We feel the pain your family and friends will suffer in days ahead, and we will keep them in our prayers. We will also pray for the instructor, as we know he is feeling so much pain and sorrow. It was truly an accident, and we pray he can accept that and move on with the duties he is meant to perform. Peace be with you all!!
