Our dearest Sara Jane
Our princess Sara Jane, 18 years young, flew off from the Mackenzie Basin to be a beautiful angel on 16th February 2007 after an inspiring journey over the past year. Adored, cherished and loved, and in our hearts forever.
“He kotuku rerenga tahi” – a white heron of a single flight.
Fly in peace with all the aroha and light surrounding you that you brought to our lives, Mum (Sue), Dad (Rob) and Katie.
A service to celebrate Sara’s life and share our grief will be held at Twin Lakes, Glen Lyon Rd, on Tuesday 20th February at 1.00pm (please bring your own camp chair if you have one). If the weather is inclement, it will be held at the Twizel Events Centre. The theme is to wear something pink.
In lieu of flowers donations to The Child Cancer Foundation would be most appreciated, and can be made at or after the service.

I am so sorry.
I was so devastated and sad when I come to look today to see how your angel was doing. I know nothing can ease your pain, but I do know there is one beautiful bright star in the sky ... I didnt know what to write here as I am a stranger whom has followed your daughters journey since the beginning, and if we all even had a smidgen of the courage, bravery your daughter had then we would all be very luvky people ... I'll leave you with a poem as I know from reading Sara's messages she loved the quotes etc ....
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
W. H. Auden
Fly free sweet Sara, I know the love you received and gave to all will have made your journey so peaceful ... R I P Angel Sara.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but now Sara will fly forever as an angel in the heaven of God; free of pain and suffering and will forever bring a smile to everyone's faces to those who knew her. Rest in Peace Sara.
I too have followed Sara's journey and am deeply saddened by her passing. I hope that that the love and support of family, friends and those like me whom you didn't even know were thinking of you all will bring you through this period in your lives. I'm sure that Sara is resting in a lovely pink place looking back on all the good times. My thoughts are with you all.
Each day I have been checking the blog site and seeing that there hadn't been any entries or comments for a while I thought Sara must have still been doing ok. So to speak to Christopher today and hear the sad news about Sara, I was devastated. I cannot begin to imagine what you are all going through, losing a beautiful angel at such a young age. I gave my kids an extra hug tonight.
I will treasure forever the cancer band that Sara gave me and the memory of that lovely evening that we spent together here in Melbourne. Sara's smile, her warm spirit and her strong meaningful hug will always be with me. Now when I look into the night sky I will see Sara's star shining brightly alongside Dad and Uncle Bruce.
You are free now Sara from pain and suffering. Go and fly with the angels and your spirit will be a guiding light to all who knew and loved you. Rest in peace beautiful girl.
Love always,
Susan xxxx
Sara, everyone who met you and knew of you and your courageous journey with cancer here at CanTeen send their love.
To Sue and Rob, I am so sorry to hear of your loss and my thoughts, along with the others at CanTeen, are with you.
See you tomorrow xoxo

I am sorry we could not be present to join you in celebrating her special life but you all are always in our thoughts. Extra special cuddles for Katie

When Pink roses are given, they speak of grace and gentility and that is how I will always remember you, strikingly beautiful,very poised and very confidant. This summer I will buy a rose to plant for you and it will be the fairest pinkest rose that I can find.
I know you might be busy catching up with your Granddad, Brede, Charlie and Dave but when you have a moment can you let me know if angels really do eat Phili Cream Cheese! Also I was wondering if they have rowing regattas and if you are allowed to compete?
Love Always and to all your family
Rob, Sue and Kate,
My deepest condolences for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sara,
I'll always remember you as the smiley little girl we holidayed with in Hawea and as the intelligent determined student Mum has told me so much about. You have been so corageous over the past year and a bit. We will all miss you.
Vaya con Dios, Go with God.

While we are so sad and heartbroken at sara's passing, we can only be inspired by her courage, strength, love, laughter and positive attitude. Sara will always remain in our thoughts.
"Sara"-the pink princess, gone but not forgotten. You are now a pretty pink angel watching over us all xxxxxxxxxxx
