Tara, It has been a very long time since grammer school my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am deeply sorry for your loss, Tori was you through and through, she will always be with you. From what I can tell she was a very special person just like her mother. Again I am very sorry for your loss.

Tara- I just saw this.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I know that there is nothing I can say to ease your pain, but I am sure that you are surrounded by people that love and care about you.

I also have no doubt that you have been a great mom to your 2 daughters. I saw those qualities in you many years ago.

Much love to you always, Lou Lanzalotto

i saw this on tv,the person who says commercial vehicles cant park is why they should,this person should have his own pity for something that could have been prevented and tori tried to listen too.if the person sees this look me up,your a stupid greedy human that wont stop.

Angel watching over all of u. May Tori rest in peace.

Tara-

I can not imagine your sorrow.

Nor can I express how sorry I am.

It sounds like Tori touched many lives.

May she live on forever through all those who had the honor of knowing her!

Please accept our deepest and heartfelt condolences for your tragic loss. I too was a former Howell Rebel Varsity player (1971-1975) and it saddens us all in the soccer community. RIP Tori.

I am a co-worker with Jeff and Codie Jablonski.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends during this difficult time. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is with God. May she rest in peace!

I met The Gerstenacker family in 1982 when Tara and my beloved daughter, Michelle were @ GRIEBLING, SCHOOL TOGETHER in Howell! , New Jersey. Eric , Tara’s brother Eric and our son Lonny played baseball together from their youngest days ; ages 7 15 .The Gerstenackers and The Narson’s never missed a Game. We watched Tara grow up before our eyes; and then she became a Mommy to TORI MONICA. Oh, how she was loved.

We saw Tori Monica through the years and we will always have a special place in our hearts for the Gerstenacker Family. Our hearts are broken over the loss of Tori Monica .

We not only had the pleasure of watching Tori play soccer, my husband Mike had the joy of coaching Tori with the Thunder, as well as our daughter Taylor sharing the back field with her. Tori was a true talent, but it’s her smile, and character that made her stand above the rest. The world truly did lose a precious young lady...Our deepest condolences to your family as they try and move on with each day. Try and take comfort in all the beautiful memories you shared with Tori, they are forever, never to be taken away...Rest peacefully sweet girl, you will be missed

You will be truly missed you will never be forgotten

We send you our heartfelt prayers that you may find the strength you need to get through each day. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. We hope you find some form of peace and comfort in time. Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. Words mean little but your daughter’s generous soul has created memories for so many to cherish. Her loss is devastating and we’re deeply sorry.

Everyone here at Rutgers-Camden is devastated. Tori was one of the most outgoing, fun and talented student-athletes we've ever had. We always thought the world of her and words can't express our feelings of grief. I am so very sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Sending my sincerest condolences

My deepest condolences to the family and friends during this difficult time. There are no words that can describe the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who pass on "are precious in his eyes." Psalms 116:15; 1 John 4:9.

Sincerely,

Sue

Where to begin

Tori was a ray of sunshine all of the time. Playing soccer with her in club and college was a privilege. When I heard she was joining the RUCWS team I was so excited. Playing with her in the center mid was so much fun and she was so talented. On and off the field Tori was an important part of my life at the time and I am so thankful for her friendship. I have the most embarrassing pictures of us, some of us in rainbow tutus after dayglow that I know she would not want me sharing! I I still wear the turtle ring she bought me for my birthday almost everyday, now it’s even more dear and special to me.

She will be greatly missed, love you Tor.

How very lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. -Winnie the Pooh

Tori

Your strength and dedication to all that you did is pure inspiration to all who knew you. You were contagious and happy, no matter what was thrown your way. I’m a better person today because of you. Thank you. You will be so missed and never forgotten. Rest well my friend.

Watching Tori play on the Rutgers-Camden Womens Soccer Team was always exciting. She brought such fire & passion to the field.

We are so very very sorry for your loss! She was truly a special soul taken too soon. Prayers to all.

I was blessed enough to go to high school and college with Tori. I wound up transferring to Rutgers Camden and Tori instantly made me feel welcomed. Tori opened her house to me to make me feel comfortable. She was truly a special person who brought sunshine to a room when she walked in it. Will forever remember you Tori rest easy angel ❤️

Had the pleasure of playing on the Howell Thunder with Tori when we were younger! She was amazing, kind hearted and always passionate! She will forever be missed. My thoughts are with her family durning this hard time.

Hearing of Tori’s passing is weighing heavy on my heart. Tori attended Rutgers-Camden with me and we enjoyed laughing in the many classes that we shared together, walking across the Ben Franklin Bridge during our lunch break and attempted to hit the books at the library which ended quickly because we would instantly spark up a more interesting conversation.

I have not seen Tori for a few years now but know that she impacted my college experience in a positive way. Rest Easy Tori, you offered the world so much light and happiness. Condolences to all of her family and close friends.

I don't know what to say.. Tori sat with me at so many Rutgers soccer games. I wanted to tell her parents they did a great job! She was a bright rising star. This is so sad I can't even comprehend. So sorry for your loss of a beautiful star!

I was Tori’s manager at the fitness center on campus at Rutgers Camden, we never spoke or saw eachother after my graduation in 2014, but she was always so genuine and kind to everyone she met and will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to all of her family and friends in this time of mourning, and may she Rest In Peace.

We are so sad to hear this news. Tori was my daughter’s roommate at Rutgers Camden. We spent many hours with her on the campus at soccer games and in the apartment. She had a beaming smile and a big heart! She asked me to make her a quilt from her T-shirt’s, which I did. Many teams and special memories were in that quilt and I hope it goes to a special person in her life. We send many prayers to her family and friends. Linda, Maggie and Jim Sande

Tori it took me years to remember how to spell your last name but seconds to be affected by your contagious smile and your incredibly sweet personality. It always amazed me that sweet Tori kicked butt on the field. My heart hurts for your parents, your siblings, your boyfriend and all who had the privilege to call you FRIEND. You will surely be missed❤️

Hearing of Tori’s premature passing really breaks my heart. Although I was never close to tori, we went to college together. I saw her at the gym, parties and soccer games all the time. One thing I will never forget about tori is her smile. That smile could make anyone’s day bright. My thoughts and prayers go out to Tori’s family, May she Rest In Peace.

There are too many stories to boil it all down to one. One of the best things that I gained in college was a friend like Tori. She became a sister to me and my family. Her adventures were limitless and she was always down to do something exciting. I never had to reach out to her because she was always beating me to it. Her smile and laughter was contagious and her personality was magnetic. It was hard not to smile being near by. I will always love my sweet Tori!

You were such a ray of sunshine. Always happy, always caring, and always seeing the good in people. I’ll always remember when you wanted to go up on the “high iron”. 135’ in the air, sitting on a beam just living life. That was a great moment I’ll have forever. I can’t believe you are gone and I’ll miss you.
