*In The Loving Memory of Star Sun Im* R.I.P. 7/11/1977 ~ 6/25/2010

Hi Sara,

I am a very close friend of Amanda (Mandy) Mazzei, who was a close friend of Star's. Mandy, Star and I had actually worked together about 10 years ago and I eventually fell a bit out of touch with Star, but Star and Mandy stayed very close throughout the years. I would see Star from time to time at birthday parties and baby showers. When Mandy called me to tell me about Star's passing - I was overcome with emotion and sadness. I want to thank Star's family for allowing the services to be open to all who knew her and cared about her, and am grateful to have been able to say goodbye to her.

Mandy told me about the blog you set up in her memory, and I actually wanted to contribute a poem I wrote for Star on the morning of her funeral. If you'd like, you can post it to the blog, but I wanted to make sure I could share the poem with you...she touched a lot of lives, and all who had the privilege of knowing her, couldn't help but love her.

Star

Your light
Always brightened our days
Your joy
Always lifted our spirits
Your warmth
Always melted our hearts
Your love
Always touched our souls
Now, even in your death
Resting in eternal peace
We can all look up
And see you, our Star
Your light
Your joy
Your warmth
Your love
Shining brightly down to us
From celestial heights
Always

Thank you Sara,
Jessica Herron
