Steve we are so sorry for the loss of Sara, our family sends our deepest condolences. Sara was not only an amazing doctor/healer, but also the most kind and wonderful soul and friend to talk with. Sara helped me in so many ways she was my doctor for over 3 years. I miss her and think about her often, her amazing smile, her laugh, her advice, and her making me a friend instead of a patient! Steve I pray for you and I know that Sara is now watching over you, and all of her patients!

I started out this morning intending to send a message to Sara never thinking the message would be words of condolence to her husband, family and friends. I am proud to have had the chance to call Sara my doctor and to get to know her as a person beyond her healing abilities. My heart is saddened learning of her tragic passing. My belated thoughts are with you.

To Steve, Sara’s family and DC Canyon and Health,

My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I met Sara last year when I interviewed her and Dr. Michelle for a college paper I was writing. We instantly connected as we both were from the Midwest. I started to see Dr. Sara on a regular basis and always looked forward to my monthly appointments as we would catch up on our lives from the previous month. I am grateful I was able to have had this past year getting to know her and feel blessed I was one of her patients.

Although I only knew Sara for a short time, I learned quickly what a caring and dedicated Chiropractor she was. I was a patient of hers for several months and she helped me so much in that short period of time. My prayers go out to all of her family and co-workers. Her loss was so sudden and tragic and my heart aches for all of you. God Bless each of you during this difficult time.
