Sarah Lynn Eulogy

Eulogy - Sarah Lynn

We are all brought here today to mourn the loss of a friend, family member and true star who was taken from us too early, Sarah Lynn.

I first met Sarah Lynn when she became a child star at the age of seven. I remember how she was still sweet, innocent, and was not yet transformed by the evolving society we have today. Even from a young age, she always wanted to be a celebrity, as she once said: “When I’m older, the whole world will know the name Sarah Lynn!”. Funnily enough, with all of the determination she had, this dream of hers came true. At that point, she was playful, cute and a better actor than I could ever become, yet at that time, these thoughts would have never crossed my mind. She saw me as a father figure, and yet I treated her as no more than just an annoying child. Part of how she turned out today was my fault, and I will never be able to forgive myself for the person she became.

In her teenage years, Sarah Lynn really did become the pop idol that she dreamed about. However, to adults, she was seen as any other self-centered and egocentric teen personality,
In all honesty, I knew that I could no longer draw myself away from the pills that were taking my troubles away and destroying them. However, I knew that without you Sarah Lynn, those happy little pain killers would have no effect, as you were the real pain killer in my life. Now I know, that as pain relieving that they were, these drugs were removing her from my life. Pill by pill, they broke her down, both figuratively to the carefree person she became in her final moments, and literally drawing her to the overdose. From those long and cheerful nights of partying, to the fun filled days of adventuring, to even the substance abusing that we did, our relationship was rebuilt by the strong and caring emotions we gave to one another, and for that, I have you to thank, Sarah
