It is with deep sadness that we announce the tragic death of our beautiful daughter, Sarah Dawn
Cynthia MacEachern-Brown on September 10, 2007 at the age of 20 years. She was involved in a car
accident and taken to hospital in critical condition where she continued to deteriorate despite the
best of care. We were forced to take her off life support and she died without regaining
conciousness.
She was a competitive Highland dancer since age 5. Sarah has earned many awards from across Canada
and overseas and has danced at the Queen's Jubilee. She received her teacher’s license and
devoted herself to the little dancers who adored her. She also has many music awards from Jazz band
and Air Cadets and is an accomplished pianist. She was honoured in the Winnipeg Free Press as an
'influential Manitoban' of 2007.
This poem was written by one of her cousins:
We little knew that morning
God was going to call your name,
In Life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide,
And although we cannot see you
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
She would have been 21 on Valentine's Day 2008.

When you feel you miss me most,
As time goes drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the Father sent his Angels,
To gently guide me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your Heart,
And with the warmth of each memory,
We will never be apart.

Here it is, two years since you were laid to rest.
Why are we still missing you as much as ever.
Love you always
Grammie and Grandpa
Two of the longest years!
You left your family 2 short years ago but I bet it seems like yesterday.♥ May you shine over your mom and dad because they miss you so much special angel♥
Your 2nd anniversary ... the 2 worst years of my life, my dearest Sarah-Bear. Did you enjoy greeting Shannon; Uncle Les; Grandma Hazel ...? Was Gramma surprised to see you there before her? How I wish I could get a day-pass and visit you outside the gates for a little while; I miss you so much but I know you must be having so much fun that you haven't time to be sad yourself. Looking forward to seeing you there sometime,though. Love you always.

Sarah, Sweet Girl, it has been 2 long years since you were taken from us. Missing you always..
REST YOUR WEARY HEAD AND DRIFT OFF INTO DREAMS,
FROLIC IN THE SUNSHINE AND BATHE IN GODS MOONBEAMS.
USE THE STARS AS STEPPING-STONES TO TAKE YOU TO YOUR PEACE,
THE PAIN OF LIFE FORGOTTEN NOW YOU HAVE FOUND RELEASE
WITH OUT RAIN A FLOWER FOLDS,THE PETAL DROP AND DIE,
THERE WAS NO WAY TO SAVE YOU,YOU COULDNT EVEN CRY.
SO WE CRY ALL THE TEARS INSTEAD AS WE MUST LET YOU GO,
TO HEAVEN AND GODS GARDEN TO BLOSSOM AND TO GROW.
THE LITTLE SEED IS PLANTED,YOU'LL BE WATERED EVEY DAY,
THE ANGELS WILL TEND ALL YOUR NEEDS AS IN THEIR ARMS YOU LAY.
YOUR LIFE WILL BE AMAZING NOW AND FULL OF WONDEROUS THINGS,
REST IN PEACE DEAR SWEET DESIREE,GO FLY ON ANGELS WINGS.
♥TIME♥
I thought that time was healing
All the hurt you left behind
That empty spaces could be filled
My arms, my heart, my mind.
And though my body looks the same
As it did when you were here
The emptiness is growing
Even bigger with each tear.
I thought that time was healing
All the agonizing pain
That as the tears were fading
Soon I wouldn't feel the same.
And though I can be smiling
And you think that I'll survive
The pain is in my blood now
I have nowhere else to hide.
I thought that time was healing
All the loss a mother feels
That now you live within my heart
I had you near me still.
But I need so much to touch you
To see you smile again
And those memories I'm told are mine
Can never feel the same.
I thought that time was healing
All the while the mask was worn
That underneath a new me
Was waiting to be born.
But now I find I am the mask
It helps to keep me safe
And though my heart is breaking
You won't see it in my face.
I thought that time was healing
All those tears my eyes have seen
That aching arms that miss you
Could be satisfied with dreams.
But here I am, in pain again
And healing stands alone
And mother weeps the world can see
For a daughter who can't come home♥

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.
I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.
I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.
I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.
I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.
So smile when you think of me
And wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.
I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home.
♥ A Shade of Sadness. ♥
In comes the darkness to my soul
even as I sit in the early morning sun,
the distant sounds of the living
seem far removed from the fogginess of my mind.
♥
In the stillness of the house
which seems quieter than quiet,
time seems to pass too slowly.
♥
A feeling of being outside myself
looking back into an empty shell
of the person I used to be.
♥
I cry for my former self.
That person I once liked and enjoyed.
She is gone.
A loss within a loss, within a loss.
♥
A heaviness in my heart,
the weight of a million tears.
Drowning my emotions,
mixing and swirling in a pool of despair.
Ugly hateful despair.
♥
A sadness so deep and heavy
leaving the body tired and used,
I feel I could sleep,
sleep for a thousand years and never wake up.
♥
A thousand years will not change a thing.
You would still not be here.
What to believe, I don't know.
I just don't know. My soul is lost.
♥
I know not which way to turn.
Where to look,
♥
I feel helpless,
helpless to help my self,
annoyed with the daily things of life I must do.
♥
I don't care, not anymore.
The world could fall upon it's knees
it would not matter,
I am too shrouded in the darkness of my world
that spins ever out of control,
directing my emotions
with no warning as to what feelings
will be brought upon me next.
♥
There is guilt, another weight to bear.
Those who are with me, who I love and love me,
they need me, but I am not ready.
I hold them back at arms length,
I am not ready,
their demands draw on what strength I have left.
For that I am sorry,
but I cannot help bringing on the emotional distance.
There is a need to protect myself,
but from what I am not sure.
♥
There is anger.
Anger that occasionally swells within me.
There is no direction into which to fling this anger.
It is a new and different type of anger
not one I am familiar with and it disturbs me.
It makes me afraid.
♥
I try to be strong. For you, and only you.
I try to think what you would have me do.
♥
I know you would want me to live my life.
To continue on. It is not an easy task, not at all.
♥
Some days I can go out
and meet the world with vigor and say I do this for you.
♥
Some days I must crawl into my shell
and hide from the world that has been so cruel to me.
I am trying.
♥
The days are filled with thoughts of you,
and should I find myself not thinking of you,
I gasp for fear that I am forgetting you.
♥
I have learned to value life, you have taught me this.
To see the beauty in each day given to me,
even through this veil of sad darkness.
I know it is there waiting for me.
♥
Someday the sadness will lift
and I will only think of you
with a smile and warmness in my heart.
My love for you will always be there
that shall never pass
and I hope somehow you know this too.
♥
Your memory is only a heartbeat away.
I shall always love,
I shall always long for you,
I shall always wish to have you back.
And I shall live -- if only for you.
♥
