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.

"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

THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY BUSY DAY FOR ME
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

The Everlasting Light
Those we love must someday pass
Beyond our present sight;
They must leave us and the world we know
Without their radiant light.
But we know that, like a candle,
Their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place,
More perfect, more divine;
And in the realm of heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forever more
In God's eternal light.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone
This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
