Sarah Natasha Rosina Blanche Stephenson-White: "Swanny"
Fell to Earth: 30th June 1990 Returned Home: 5th December 2007 aged just 17.
Sarah was diagnosed with Cysitic Fibrosis when she was 6 1/2 years old, she spent most of her life in and out of hospital. It is of some comfort to her friends and family that she is no longer suffering but that comfort can't fill the gap that Sarah has left. I feel empty inside.
Everyone who knew Sarah loved her, and her smile - that smile was contagious, i wish i could see it again. Sarah had so many friends that at her funeral there was barely even standing room, people spilled outside into the entrance hall, everyone who knew her loved her dearly and will always miss her.
She loved working with children but she wanted to be an accountant, even when she was only given a year to live she signed up for an accountancy course. She wanted to learn to drive and had got an ice blue toyota yaris, unfortunately she never got to take her driving test, something most of us take for granted.
Dear Sarah/Swanny,
The day i heard you had died i just couldnt believe it, i went on Han's Myspace and left her a message "Please say its not true" I dreaded the reply to that message but it came. I have known you practically all my life, we grew up together, when you went to Colston's instead of Fromebank i cried but when you came to Brimsham and were in my tutor i was so happy. I wish i could live that day again, you coming to the year 6 induction day in June 2001 and finding out you would be in my tutor group, i want to go back... I cried that day at Cranleigh Court and i cry now. I miss you so much
I try not to be sad, its been almost 5 months now but so many things remind me of you, many many songs, everyday i go past Cranleigh Court (i wish i could avoid it), its like youre going to pop out and surprise me, but then i realise that you cant, youre gone and youre not coming back, its so hard and i dont think i can accept it, i miss you so much Sarah, i know we didnt see much of each other over the last couple of years but you were one of best friends at Infants school and i can never forget that.
Words cannot truly express how we all feel now youre gone
WE LOVE YOU SARAH. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. NEVER.
"We remember and thats the most important thing; that we wont forget!"

It's been nearly a year sarah, i hoped it would get easier but i find myself thinking of you more and more often, i miss you. People may criticise me as i hadnt seen you in a long time before you died, but ill remember you as one of the best friends i ever had, infants school wouldnt have been the same without you. I didnt take the time to meet up with you when we finished school, but this is now something i will have to live with for the rest of my life, i regret not making the effort and its hard to live with that, im really sorry, i just wish i could see you once more, i miss you sarah.

One year has come and gone and im beginning to come to accept that you're not coming back but i dont like it! All i want for christmas is to see you, that would make me so happy! I dont want presents just you to come back. Ive been in hospital again and i just dont know how you could be so brave about it all, youre definitely the bravest person i know! I miss you :( xxx (05/12/08)
Im coming to realise what some people might mean about it becoming easier as time passes, it doesnt! But it becomes clearer that youre not coming back, youre not just on an extended holiday, you arent coming back, perhaps that makes it easier to cope for some, but i think it just makes things harder. Its been 14 months and i miss you more than ever. xxx (14-02-09)
what is this rubbish? your bebo page will no longer let me comment on it, i friend requested you just before you died, i didnt realise you'd gotten so ill, i wish id known so i could see you one last time. You're still one of my MSN contacts and as far as im concerned you always will be. I thought when i moved away to go to uni it might get easier as i wouldnt be surrounded by memories of you all day every day, it hasnt, I miss you and i want you back (14-03-09)
It's just under 3 weeks until your birthday, a fact that my hotmail reminds me of every single time i check my email. It makes me think for a millisecond "ooh i must get sarah a birthday present" and then i remember that if i did i wouldn't be able to give it to you :( it tears me up, they better be planning a great party for you up there xxx (12-06-09)
This is very touching. Sara would appreciate all of your kind words.
Her parents and friends are well and she lives on in our minds and hearts.
She is talked about and to so very much.
The people that she held near will never let her go, but will never have to, because her warmth and beauty and purity will stay with those special few forever.
Sara,
Swany,
Twinny.

How unfair is life!?
2 days ago, i turned 21, here i was fretting about getting old when i started to think about you. You didn't even make it to 18, you'll never turn 21 or 22 or 23 for that matter. You weren't given the chance to get old, so i need to get over it!:( i miss you so so much, i wish you'd been here to party hard with me! Were you watching from heaven? I'd like to think that you were, although maybe not some of it, my thoughts will always be with you xxx
I miss you today.
i missed you yesterday.
i will miss you tomorrow.
i will miss you always swanny, things haven't been the same since you've been gone, i used to be strong, but since you've been gone that strength has gone, im begining to think you were the strength in all of us, but now thats gone :( it doesn't seem to come back
we will always miss you. xxx
A REAL HEAD TURNER

♥♥In Our Hearts♥♥
We thought of you today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
God Bless xx Jean xx
its 6 months tomorrow swanny...but it feels like an eternity...i cant stand it...im always thinking of you, you'll always be in my heart...in a few weeks it will be your birthday and im going to sing loud enough for you to hear me in heaven ok? love you xxx
Thanks Sarah...
...for visiting my dreams last night; it was exactly what i needed. I miss you so much, please come home Sarah, i dont know what to do :(
they can never have yesterday!!
I just cant believe your gone,
Still waiting for mornin to come,
When i see if the sun will rise,
In the way that your by my side.
When we had so much in store,
Tell me what is it im reaching for,
When we're through building memorise,
I'll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart.
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
They can take the music that we'll never play,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
They can take the places that we said we would go,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday.
You always choose to stay,
I should be thankful for everyday,
Heaven knows what the future holds,
Or least where the story goes,
But i never believed until now.
I know i'll see you again, im sure,
No, it's not selfish to ask for more,
One more night, One more day,
One more smile on your face,
But they cant take yesterday.
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
They can take the music that we'll never play,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
They can take the places that we said we would go,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday.
I thought our days would last forever,
But it wasn't our destiny,
Cause in my mind we had so much time,
But i was so wrong.
No, i can, believe me,
I can still find the strength in the moments we made,
Im lookin' back on yesterday,
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
They can take the music that we'll never play,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
They can take the places that we said we would go,
All the broken dreams, take everything,
Just take it away,
But they can never have yesterday,
All the broken dreams take everything,
They can never have yesterday. x x x x x
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Some people only dream of angels, you now have your very own special angel watching over you until you are together again.
From one cf family to another
