Ariel Rachel Mary Singer Ariel Rachel Mary Singer drowned in the early morning of 18 August 2005, along with three of her friends. Ariel was born 5 April 1987, in Princeton, New Jersey, but lived, since she was two months of age, in Orem, Utah. Ariel attended American Heritage School, Meridian School, and Orem High School, from whence she graduated in 2004. Our beloved Eo, as her little brothers called her, loved to sing, dance, hike, read, cook, and love. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is survived by David and Valerie Hudson Cassler, Eric G. Singer, five brothers: Ben, Joe, John, Tom (her favorite), and Jim; grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many friends. She struggled valiantly with incredible emotional challenges, and she was the song of our hearts. A viewing will be held 23 August, from 6-8 p.m., at Walker-Sanderson Mortuary, 646 E. 800 North, Orem. Funeral services will be held at Noon, 24 August, at the Cascade First Ward Chapel, 481 E.

i miss ariel so much. WE had fun times. I will never forget her.

September 17, 2005

Well this guest book isnt going to be on here much longer so I decided to tell everyone once again that Ariel was an amazing person. She is greatly missed, but always remember she is in a fantastic place now and im sure she is happy. She will always be with us. She'll always be looking out for us. Ariel was loved by many and loved many and she still loves us all and always will. When i heard of her death, I was upset alot and one reason was because the last time I saw her, she said that i had been a jerk to her. so i didnt want me being a jerk to be the thing she remembers about me, but im sure she remembers the good and not the bad. we love you ariel.

Dear Hudsons and Singers,

We are saddened by Ariel's passing, and wish to convey our love and feelings to her family. She is remembered by many teachers and students. Ariel was a bright star. She was kind and loving and respectful, and made many friends. May peace be with you.

Dear Professor Hudson and family,

We are shocked and very very sad to get from Dr. Hyer about Ariel¡¯s passing before we get the chance to express how we feel about our meeting early this month. Ariel was not with her mom when we met with the Hyers because she was old enough to be independent. We could imagine how lovely and bright she is, how much her parents and brothers and sisters love her and how her passing struck all those who love her so much. With our condolences, our hearts go out to you. We hope the love of friends and family will carry you through your grief.

Love, Qingmin and family (from Beijing China)

Dear Dr. Hudson:



I was very sad to hear of the tragic passing of Ariel. I have never seen her again since I graduated 13 years ago, so she always remained in my memory as the little sweet and cute girl whom we all loved so much. As a father of a son who is at the same age as Ariel, I could understand how much love a parent has devoted to the child in 18 years and how painful it could be to lose a loved child. I share with you your sorrow in your time of grief and you have my deepest sympathies.

August 23, 2005

wow....Ariel....what can we say!? She was so beautiful and amazing. I've known Ariel for years and have learned what an amazing and selfless person. She will be missed and I will be attending the funeral and she will always be in my heart. She is greatly missed, but she is watching over us and I'm sure she is happy and only frowns upon us that are grieving so much without her. May Ariel, Blake, Scott, and Jen all be happy and safe now and may we all remember and love them forever.

To everyone who loved and lost Ariel,

I was so saddened to hear of the loss of Ariel. It was sudden and such a shock. I knew Ariel through her friendship to my sister. She was very sweet and I know she gave her all to her friends and family,always putting others needs before her own. I pray for all who loved her that they will be comforted in their loss of a wonderful friend, sister and daughter.

Dear Valerie,

I'm so very sorry. Nothing I or anyone else might say can begin to relieve the pain of losing a child, but I wish there were some way that it could. In Ariel's photo she looks so much like you, and so happy. Given your many extraordinary sacrifices for your children, she must love you more than you know and be so proud to be your daughter. I'm sure that from the other side she'll care for you and your family as you so constantly cared for her. And now, without the impediments of youth and mortality, she will surely understand and appreciate how very much you love and miss her.

To Valerie and Family,

When I heard about your loss, my heart reached out to you, your husband and your little boys. I wish I could have gotten to know Ariel better, but the few times I met her I could tell that she had a light in her eyes that could have only been given by a mother who to shares a brilliant light. I know the Lord is watching over your family right now, I wish I could be there for you.

Ariel was such a fun and happy person. She got along with most everyone. I danced with her in high school and she was always smiling and laughing. I loved being around her because she was always in a good mood and without even trying could put you in a good mood even if you have had a bad day. She is very loved by everyone that she ever came in contact with and will be greatly missed.

Ariel was easily the most selfless person I ever had the chance to spend time with. She could make people smile even if she was struggling to be able to, and she still made everything seem like it was okay. I will always remember wednesday night when I was allowed to spend time making last memories. Ariel sitting on her couch eating a giant slice of pizza and giggling. Ariel was a beautiful, brilliant, wonderful person. She will be missed and remembered forever.
