I met Sarah breifly, but in that short time I saw that she was so bubbly and sweet. She loved her boyfriend dearly and seemed like a very happy individual. It was my pleasure to have known her even for that short time.

My son, Nicholas Arcuri was friends with Sarah, although they had not seen each other for almost a year. He is deeply saddened by her passing. We will continue to pray for the entire Carman family to find strength when you feel the weakest, to find hope when you feel complete despair, to look to all the wonderful memories Sarah created during her lifetime as a source of inspiration.

Dear Sarah,
My mommy told me tonight that you had died and I am very sad. I loved when you would come over to my house to play with me. I especially enjoyed how you would swing me around in circles until we both giggled. I love you, Sarah and I miss you very much already. Love, your cousin
