I was extremely close to Kim, my oldest daughter, Sarah and Eric’s mother. She was my right-hand girl. She was so pretty, and she could draw and write. She met Terry Baker in New Orleans, and I missed her so much during the years they lived there.

I first saw Sarah when she was about three months old. Kim flew home to show me her beautiful little girl.

When Sarah was 2 and Eric was 1, Terry and Kim moved to Port Huron into a house right next door. They opened a restaurant. Kim and I would sit on the beach and talk and laugh. We couldn’t get enough time with each other. But it was not to last: One night in 1989 she died in her sleep of natural causes. She was only 34.

Terry, Sarah and Eric had some difficult years after Kim died.

When Sarah was 9 or 10, I gave her an address book with my name, address and phone number and those of her uncles in the Port Huron area. Soon thereafter, her father and the two children went away. Later, we learned they had moved to Utah.

Out of the blue, Eric called earlier this summer. He wanted to visit. My children and I were overwhelmed and excited. When the call came about Sarah’s accident, he was with my husband Rudy Weiss and me.

In the weeks leading up to Eric’s visit, I finally heard from Sarah. We had three brief telephone conversations. I wished she could visit, too, but she was busy. In the third call, she had a special request: She wanted her brother to bring back some shells and sand and water from the beach her mother grew up on. She thought he might not understand how special that was to her and might forget.

The last words I heard from her were “I love you, Grandma.” It will never be enough.

May God bless everyone who showed kindness to my beloved granddaughter Sarah.

Sarah was a bright light taken too soon. We will miss her ebullient spirit. She is with her mother, who she missed so much. May she rest in peace and may you find comfort in knowing that life is eternal and you will see her again.
