MemoryLane
by Marian Jones
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane ,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.

God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.

He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.

So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane .

 How do you say goodbye to someone who was so full of life,
Someone who touched everyone
A newly wed wife
A loss so great
The pain may never heal
And no one can replace
The way she made you feel
She was very special
A gift from above
And no one will forget
Her eyes full of love
Sarah was truly a princess
And a perfect pal
Her smile lit up the room
People would turn to look
And when she left us
The whole world shook
She was truly an angel
Sent to brighten our days
She saw white and yellow
When most of us saw grays
An angel has left us
Blessed with her grace
And no one will ever forget
Her beautiful face.

Fate has a way of working
That we will never understand
The day your life was taken
Was not part of your plan.
You had huge dreams for the future;
This one never came to mind.
Who knew that you and I, my friend
Would take the test of time?
All alone I sit here
Thinking only of you.
Trying to mend my heart 
together for it has been broken in two.
There are no words for me to say
You knew my thoughts and dreams.
Many of those have been altered;
Life is not what it seems.
"All the good ones die young"
Is what I truly believe.
How else can we explain
Why it was your time to leave?
Never forgotten, always loved
Is the way you will remain.
An angel sent from above
Sarah Ann was her name. 
Love,
Khea Kinziger Longan

There is a new angel up in heaven, her name is Sarah Hanson-Mathison.
 Her smile remains in our memories, as she was taken from us June 16, 2001.
Sarah brought joy to hearts of her family and friends and more! 
She inspired us all to be happy, this quality you had to adore.

She will remain in our hearts forever, a daughter, sister, wife and a friend. 
And she will look down on us and smile, for with time, the broken hearts will mend.
She will be missed by each and everyone of us, of that there is no doubt!
 So when you're down, think of angels, and Sarah's smile will help you out!

"NOT SO GOOD"
Today I had a not so good day.
They tell me this is fine.
I just have one question,
How does everyone seem to know what's ok?
I hope tomorrow will be better. 
It's one more day I've made it through so that has got to help.
I know some days will be harder than others.
This is to be expected.
There's certain days that I will dread, like the firsts of everything.
It's ok for me to be sad today,
just let me be alone, but please remember to call me on the phone, let me be the judge and I'll tell you what I want.
Understand what I'm going through is new to me too.
This rollercoaster will end someday,
When I am not sure.
Just be my friend and let me talk.
I may cry too, if you let me.
I'm trying to understand.
Just please remember today is not so good.

"GROWING UP"
From notebooks onto Barbie dolls, and all the toys inbetween,
you soon moved onto bigger things from boys to cars to dreams.
You touched many people on your way up,
and finally found the one! Brad was his name
and he was the special one, 
the one you chose to keep.
You fell in love an married him
and your journey had begun.
We know you had a special reason with all your wit and charm.
What a special couple you became.
What a fun life you had in store.
The dream came to an end today.
Why?
We are not sure.
You reached a much better place, this we are for sure.
Please meet with us when we see again but look out for us till then.
Be sure you know we cared for you and enjoyed the time we had.
We always will remember you and miss you very much.

IN MEMORY OF SARAH

Even though we lived so far apart
Sarah was my cousin, my best friend,
very much a part of my heart.
We talked and told secrets we'd tell no one else,
we asked for advise, we both did out part.

A friend like her is not often found,
we took it for granted that she'd always be around.
To talk to, to laugh with, to visit once a year,
she could always make you smile, fill your heart with cheer.

She was one of the better people God put on Earth,
So good, in fact, that he had to take her back,
For he knew how much she was worth.

I am so grateful that I got to see her on the happiest
day of her life,
The day she became Bradley Hanson's wife.

I've never seen her happier than she was that day,
Why give everyone someone like her, then take her away?
Her presence here was special in every way,
She was the light and love in a lot of people's days.

I'll never forget her, I'll always love her,
I think about her every day,
I tell my children about her, how special she was,
And keep her memory alive in every way.

She is still alive in my hert, and my dreams,
She is always with me, so it seems.

One say we will see her again.
When we go to heaven up above,
She'll be there waiting at the gate,
Her beautiful face full of love.

But while we are here on Earth,
Don't give up, keep up the fight
Live on, be happy, let her be your light.
Loosing her makes you realize what every day is worth,
Let everyone know how much you love them,
While you're still here on Earth.

I'll never take another day for granted,
Another hug in stride.
You never know what is going to happen,
Love more, and do everthing with pride.

Forget all family conflicts,
Let them know you care,
The next day they could be gone,
never knowing how much you cared.

Sarah was good at showing how much she cared,
always full of smiles and hugs,
and kind words for everyone, everywhere.

I've never known Sarah to hold a grudge,
She lived a wonderful life,
though the short time she was here,
but through her caring ways,
look how many hearts she touched in her 22 years.

We will always love her,
never forget that beautiful face,
But always remember,
She's in a better place.

She's waiting for us to come and see her,
in that better place up there.
But take your time, she would say
I'll still be with you through the years.
I'll share your smiles, feel your tears,
In your heart, still she's here.

Nothing is more precious than the memories we keep,
pictures we have in our hearts, in our minds,
in our dreams while we sleep.
Remember this poem when you start to hold a grudge,
be happy, be caring, have faith,
because nothing is more important than love.

Love always,
Kari (cousin)
