My Sweet Cousin Sarie Nina Morton

It´s with great sadness that I´m unable to be in New Zealand in person to farewell my sweet cousin Sarie, who will forever be 13 years old, someone I love and have loved, to hold her loved ones close and give my respects to those of us who are still earthside. I´d like to share a Special Sarie Souvenir Story, something that has been engraved in my memory like a souvenir you get from a wonderful holiday or moment that you treasured, this is infinitely better than anything you could ever buy in a store or find on the internet, its a shared moment in time with someone so very special.



I´d like to set the scene, for the start of this memory, its Friday the 24th of April 2015, the day before ANZAC day and we are in The RSA Building in Mount Maunganui New Zealand. We were there to celebrate the life of Grandad Jack Bagley and reminisce on memories and honor the man that was half the reason that in 2015 there had been 6 Bagley Parents, followed by 21 first cousins and 30 great grandchildren (there is far more now). On this afternoon, there was so many children running around like mini race cars without any speed limits, that couldn´t see any give way signs or stop signs, they didn´t even have steering wheels or brakes but they were having the absolute time of their lives and being kids.



One of those little people was you Sarie, with your white dress and pink tights hair pulled in a ponytail and the moment I saw your big beautiful blue eyes, I knew for sure that you had to be one of the Bagley Sisters children, you had this shy timid look in your eyes and a massive cheeky grin that was so contradictory.



The day was long, for someone so small and innocent you were undoubtedly exhausted, as were we. You didn´t want to go to bed you didn´t want to be held by anyone you had your arms folded and you had a stubborn look on your face that said, "I´ll do what I want" and just like your mother you did just that. That night you choose me to be your person, be your adult, be your love, nurture and trustee, you sat on my knee, and I held you close both of us in our pajamas whilst the world went on around us, and you finally settled. I mean I can´t blame you for not feeling settled after seeing my brother Paul in a bikini! But that very moment meant more than you´ll ever understand little one, it will be that Sarie Souvenir that is pinned in my heart, soul and mind forever.



I´m sorry you don´t get to be earthside with us anymore angel, but one day, I will hold you in my arms again, I´ll tell you just how much I loved you and how much I missed seeing you when I came home to visit again. Your absence leaves a hole in my heart that will never be filled, but the memories and love we shared will never go away.



My deepest condolences to your Mum Katrina, Dad Daryl, Big sister Arna, Matt, Thjis & Dev along with your dotting grandparents, Uncles, Aunties, cousins and many many friends.



Sarie, until we meet again, rest easy amongst the rainbows, waterfalls, clouds, stars and angels, your wings were given to you far too early, but you will make an amazing angel with your giant heart, beautiful blue eyes and smile ear to ear. Love your big cousin Maria

Sarie baby,
Life cruelly took you,
Yet death has forever immortalised you,

For us,
you will forever be
one of your mum's goofy teens,

Dancing in the kitchen,
Prancing round the garden,

Sky larking on the lake,
Hanging with your mates,

You've left a hole in our hearts Sarie,
You've left tears in our eyes,
You've left us shaking our heads,
And wondering why,

Life will never be the same,
but you Sarie,
you will always be the same,
Beautiful, spirited and forever free.

Fly high kid,
Fly high!

Love Cheryl, Bert, Emilie and William in France

Daryl, Arna, Ian & Katrina. Much love to you all through this difficult time. There are no words to make any of this better for you all. I just wish you all comfort, love and hugs, strength and courage to pull through this moment. Life will never be the same but I know Sarie will be watching over the ones she loves and will protect your steps.

Rest in love sweetheart, I will miss your beautiful smile and hugs Xxxx

Memories of a wonderful girl I had the privilege of helping out at Hinuera School.
Sorry for your loss. Thinking of you Arna at this time

Beautiful girl with the most contagious smile.

Sarie was in my peer support class, sweetest girl ever with the most beautiful smile, we will miss her so much

Condolences seem in adequate at a tragic time such as this. We are thinking of you all and are so very sorry for your loss. From Terry Breach and family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I was reading last night and this poem speaks to me of my hope that those left behind will cherish the happy memories of Sarie and continue to live with joy, as I know Sarie would have wanted.

"A Live Well Lived" by unknown

She lived her life with kindness,
Her heart was full of grace.
She touched the lives of everyone,
With a bright and shining face.

Her laugh was pure, her spirit free,
A light in all she knew.
Her love for life was boundless,
And she made the world feel new.

Though she's not here beside us,
Her memory will stay.
In all the lives she touched,
Her spirit will always play.

She lived a life so beautifully,
And though it ended far too soon,
Her love will live forever,
Like the stars, the sun, the moon.

We were introduced to Sarie by Arna, who was so happy her sister was about to start at Hinni. We got to say hello almost every morning, then years later reconnect with Sarie to see her dominate on the netball court helping bring her team to victory. You were an absolute star Sarie, love and condolences to Arna and your family xo

Aunty Janet and family send you all love and our deepest sympathy with the loss of your beautiful Sarie. As her great Aunty I've watched her grow from the cutest little toddler into the beautiful young woman she was becoming. Sarie you will be missed so deeply and remembered deeply by your family, friends and the whole community of Matamata. You will be one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Love to you Sarie and all who miss you.
Aunty Janet, Cheryl, Michael, Paul and Maria.

Beautiful Sarie, This is just not fair....I´m so so sorry your time on earth was taken so tragically and at such a young age. You had so much to give and your light shone so bright. It was a real pleasure to know you. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Love to all who knew and loved Sarie. RIP sweet girl xx

Sarie was truly blessed with Laughter and excitement for life. We know her from Hinni, she was so caring and took Lianke under her wing when she joined the new school and knew no one. Then she taught Janika and Kaari gymnastics. Kaari use to run to school to give Sarie a hug. Xxx

I was reading last night and this poem speaks to me of my hope that those left behind will cherish the happy memories of Sarie and continue to live with joy as I know Sarie would have wanted.
