Sarah Chapman 28.11.85 – 11.11.06

Sarah Lived with her parents in Salisbury

She worked in Andover but previously had worked at Tesco in Salisbury & then Halifax in salisbury before being promoted & going to work in Andover.

My younger sister was taken so suddenly in a fatal car accident in her prized possession her Maroon Ford KA Luxury 17 days before her 21st birthday. She leaves behind her mum & dad, Liz & Tony, me, her only sister Louise, Her niece Jasmine now 7 & many friends & family. She was due to be God mother to Charlotte’s daughter Freya, she was so happy to be asked. She made some very close friends at work, especially Kelly who she spent a lot of time with. At Halifax she made friends quickly & was doing well in her job & became very good friends with the people she worked with.

She was killed on her way home from working at Halifax bank in Andover. She died instantly at 1352. My mum had the police arrive at 1530 to say Sarah had died in a car accident. I will never forget the phone call to say I needed to get home. It’s something that happens to other people you never expect it to happen to anyone you know let alone a member of your family. That evening was a blur. We weren’t sure if we could see her at the hospital chapel of rest that evening but it was what I wanted to do more than anything. It was the hardest thing that my parents & I have ever done. It was made harder by the fact she didn’t look like she had been in fatal accident, 3 small cuts to her face & grazed knuckles, she looked asleep, like she could wake up at any moment. We had to contact friends as she was due to be going out that night.

The week leading upto her funeral on 21st November 2006 was so busy. We had to arrange the funeral & make sure it was what she would have wanted; we knew she wouldn’t want hymns but Jasmine wanted us to sing peace perfect peace. We chose 3 of her favourite songs to have at the crematorium, mum, dad, me, jasmine & my boyfriend followed behind her coffin to Hungry Eyes from her favourite film dirty dancing, during the service we played Heaven by DJ Sammy & at the end of the service we had everybody sit & listen to Set Me Free by N-Trance. Sarah loved her music so it was so hard to know what she would have wanted but these were the ones we knew she liked & reminded us & her friends of her. We asked people to wear something pink as Sarah loved pink

We had her ashes buried on her 21st birthday.

Sarah lived life to the full & loved her holidays abroad with her friends. Sarah loved shopping & we buried her in her usual shopping clothes & put her Karen Millen dress back in the bag & put it in her coffin with her. She had bought the dress to wear to see Dirty Dancing the musical but she never got to wear it. She loved Jasmine to bits. Jasmine still talks about her & misses her so much, it has been hard on her & she has suffered just as much as the rest of us. Sarah spent a lot of time with Charlotte & Freya even though Freya was only born in the august. Sarah would do anything for anyone. We would argue but what sisters don’t but we would still go out & do things together even though there are 6 & half years between us.

Still think about her everyday & most days still can’t believe it has happened. Still expect to see her walk in or get a text message from her.

Sarah you are missed by everyone that knew you, especially Mum, Dad, me, Jasmine, Charlotte & Kelly.

"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)

Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.

Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

Thinking

Hi Sarah, got to thinking about you again today..

Know it's been absolutely ages, but my heart will always carry a flame for you, you were technically my 'first' love!
I know we were just kids then, now i'm having a kid of my own! due in 6 weeks!!.

A while back, some psychic told me that a short(er than me), fair haired girl that was close to me comes to visit me occasionally, the only one i could think of was you...

My thoughts are with your family
Miss you! x

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow

Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...

I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...

I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...

I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...

If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...

Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...

Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.

With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.

LOVE JUDE. X
