We mourn the loss of our daughter who passed away much too young. We ask readers to not only remember her beautiful spirit, but to remember to live life to the fullest because it is much too short.

I hope as you are looking down from Heaven that you are able to see how much you were adored, and so so loved.

Sara Summer Swanson-Smith was a loving and compassionate person who loved to be silly. She loved being with family and friends laughing and telling stories. Sara was a kind person who loved deeply. If you were lucky enough to be present when she gazed into her daughter's face, the pure joy radiating from her would blind you. Sara wanted nothing more than for Shevelle to have a wonderful life.

We will always remember her infectious smile, sparkling eyes, and caring personality. Her presence in our lives will be sorely missed. When you think of Sara, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.

A poem I wrote to my daughter a year ago but was never able to give it to her. I pray she hears it now.

My daughter

As times goes on, in the still of the night, and you battle on, to what seems right. My prayer is God, somehow lets her see, just how you love her, and how she could be free. Though she is miles, and miles away, loneliness in her heart, should lead her to pray. For though she cannot, Seem to understand, I pray dear Lord, hold her hand. She is my daughter, and surely, I care, for her soul is in freat despair. She's lonely with in, and cannot find, nothing to satisfy her wearisome mind. But Lord do you see her, for surely you do, something in her, that could be used for you. Help her to know you, this is my prayer, for she is my daughter, I love her, I care.
