“Mama Tara saved my life, and she is my hero. My mama is an angel in heaven with Jesus.”

These were the words contained in a moving tribute from the granddaughter of Tara Lochansingh, who sacrificed her life to save the child from drowning at Matura River.

The tribute to Lochansingh, 46, was read during her funeral which was an outpouring of love and respect from family, friends and neighbours who remembered her compassion, kindness and strength.
