Mizell Friday
Sarah Landauer was so YOUNG…
so SMART... so GOOD…
But suddenly—she's---GONE…
Sweet 17… Straight-A student…
Soccer star at Eastside High in Gainesville…
“A gifted athlete”---she also RAN TRACK…
Sarah’s spirit was “priceless”…
Active and beloved in her CHURCH…
Such a WINNER….
Always eager to “share a GOOD LAUGH”…
Teachers ADORED Sarah Landauer---
so did “classmates”---AND “teammates”…
Imagine the “joy” and “pride”
that "had to be evolving" in her family---
watching one of their children “turn out so good”…
Surely those closest to Sarah Landauer
had wondered---“with ALL her pluses---
what might she become?”…
Horizons “unlimited”…
Perhaps---a great scientist… a Wall Street wizard…
“renowned humanitarian” …
even President of the United States…
But then---“something frightful...”…
Sarah “went down” on an athletic field…
She had experienced “a medical incident”
just a few weeks before…
But this time--“it was worse”…
Medics rushed Sarah to a hospital---but “hope”
quickly began to fade…
Kids who loved her jammed the public areas
at Shands---everybody wanting to “do something to help”…
Sarah’s condition became GRAVE…
Then—with all her talents---all her GOODNESS---
Sarah Landauer DIED at age 17…
the “devastating series of human
events” has slammed the souls of a multitude,,,
so many are asking---WHY?...
Sarah’s pals---fellow teens
“who had felt IMMORTAL”
were CRUSHED by "tragic reality"…
It will “BE WITH THEM” forever…
The torment for Sarah’s family is
“unimaginable”…
I do NOT have the words “to amply
expound on such grief”… Sarah Landauer---you were LOVED,
and ADMIRED in so many ways…
I’m Hubert Mizell, and that’s what I think.
