I sat there in the sanctuary and listened to my pastor give his eulogy as I stared at Sarah's coffin. As I stared at it, I couldn't help but think of Daniel. You see, Sarah and Daniel were both 20 and both are gone now and I don't understand why. The months since Daniel's death there has been so much speculation as to him taking his own life or was he drugged. When I got the word last night of Sarah's sudden death and was told she took her life because she did not make it into Pharmaceutical school, the tears started falling and my heart just broke for her mom, dad, sister and brother. She was such a great kid, doing mission trips for church, babysitting for church families, helping anyone she could but she just could not help herself by finding someone to talk to so she took her life. Life is so precious and though we will never understand why she took her life, Daniel just does not leave my thoughts either. I don't believe he took his life, I do believe someone took it from him. I stood there holding up Sarah's mom and cried so hard with her and at that moment knew just how Anna felt when Daniel died. The people who were supposed to love her should have helped her. I know Sarah's mom will have all the help she needs and will make it. I only wish Anna would have had it because she would be here today. This was the hardest funeral I have ever been to, Sarah should not have died. Daniel should not have died. I may be off subject but need to say one last thing, please, if you have kids, hold them, tell them you love them and remind them that it is ok to fail at things, you will not love them any less. I have watched my daughter fight for her life the last ten years and not a day goes by that I don't tell her over and over how much I love her and how grateful I am that God gave her to me. Our kids need to hear we love them to make it in this world. After hearing the PI talk, I can't help but wonder did Daniel hear his mom say those three words 'I love you' one last time before his life was taken from him. I guess we will never know.

The difference beween Sarah and Daniel although both 20 were immense. Diiferent lifestyles/way of life etc. Firstly i would like to say im sorry about your friends daughter :( Its always sad when someone dies especially someone that young :( I hope that her parents and family have a lot of support to help them thru this dark times :(

Very sorry to hear about your friend's daughter, Krueg. I know that when we're young, most disappointments in life hit us harder, and often we can't see any way out. It's too bad Sarah didn't realize tomorrow would've been a better day.I'm happy to hear you hug your daughter and tell her how much you love her, I do that too, because life is just too short, to forget to show your loved ones you care.

Thank you. It has been a very hard day for so many of us. The tears just wont stop falling. As I hugged Sarah's mom today all I could think about too was Anna and what she didn't have for her. Sarah's family had hundreds of people around to comfort them and if Anna would have had that I believe she would be here today. There is help out there, sometimes, well alot of times people just don't know how to search for it. Oh how I would give anything if none of this were true and Sarah would have thought about tomorrow. Her family and friends wouldn't be in so much pain right now.

I know that Anna did try to reach out to her mother after Daniel's death.
