Sarah, you left us so suddenly, but now you soar with the other angels and nothing can ever hurt you again. If you can see how many of us are sad, I am sure you can feel all of the love for you. Life is short, but love can last forever. It has been said many times before, but the world was a better place with you in it. Your smile was like sunshine. For the time you were here, thank you for simply being you, and brightening many lives.

Words can not express the sorrow that I feel in my heart for your family. In the weeks and months to come you will hear "I'm sorry" so many times that they will become words that will no longer have meaning. As much as you may disagree and argue at times I know that as a family your bond is strong, and that you will see each other through this tragic time. Try not to remember her death, but her life. When you picture her face, see her smile, hear her laughter for that is what she would want you to remember. She is with God now, she is watching over you. May the Lord give you all is strength and love to get through this as the family I once knew.

I got to spend a whole day with Sarah in August, when Griselda, Andrew and Amanda Vasquez brought her to my house and we enjoyed a day at the beach.
Sarah laughed so much that day. Having her around really added to the overall fun.
My sympathy goes out to Sarah's family.

I will remember Sarah's beautiful smile and kind nature. I was not her teacher at South Shores but she made an impression on everyone at the school. She was a breath of fresh air.... Smart,sweet,helpful..... Everything a parent wishes for their own child to be. As a mother my heart aches for your loss. My condolences to the whole family. Sarah will be remembered.

I am still in shock and it is hard for me to process this in my head, I am wishing this was all some sort of nightmare and it wasn't true...why you? You were such a flawless girl. Your eyes always sparkled, and that smile of yours always shined bright. You always found a way to keep everyone else happy. I feel so much rage and sorrow pain. I'm heart broken and speechless. I'll never forget you my Angel. Watch over everyone. I love you, see you soon...

My Dearest Sarah,
Dancing girl, wondrous child, whimsical, wonderful Spirit. I will always remember your kindness, your love of life and your gracious, kind heart in Kindergarten. May you always laugh, sing and love as you did in this life and will again in the next. Be blessed Sarah and know we all love you and will never forget you and the life you so openly shared with so many. You'll remain in my heart forever.
Many blessings to your precious parents and brothers too.
Ms. Cathy Bennett, your first teacher at South Shores.

I had the honor and privilege to meet Sarah through my daughter Amanda. Sarah was kind enough to take Amanda into her home on Tuesday's before the government meetings. Your family welcomed her and I want to thank you for that. I want to express our deep sympathy for your most precious loss. We share your pain and we thank you for sharing your amazing daughter with us. Her smile and her spirit will live on with us for an eternity.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Sarah was such a special young lady and student. She was such a help to Allison as of late; being her 'senior' friend at POLAH this year. She made Allison feel connected in her new surroundings with her kindness. She will be missed.

Words cannot possibly express how devastating this is. I remember when Sarah was little and she was fascinated with the Buddha, clearly a special person. Our entire family sends condolences and loving thoughts for your family.

I was a classmate of Sarah's in middle school. Although I wasn't close to her, one thing I do remember very clearly was her smile. She truly had a smile that could light up the room. My prayers and condolences to her friends and family during this tough time. She will truly be missed.

Sarah.. You were so beautiful, with such a bright smile and the most graceful eyes.. such a great spirit, I swear your soul was just so golden I can't believe this happened to you still.. Even though me and you hardly ever talked when we did it always brought a smile to my face Your vibes were always just so positive, I want to say thankyou for hearing me out when you did that day of EPC at the b&g club and giving the advice you did when I was going through a hard time in life... & it was great having you in my classes because you always brought a sense of happiness and you always made people laugh.. 3rd period is going to feel so empty without you.. All the times the teachers would call attendance and we would both say "here!" At the same time and we would look at each other and laugh Mr. Emerson called us Sarah Squared, or Sarah Times Two , I thought it was so funny, I really wish we would've gotten closer because even though we weren't that close I know you were a great person :/ but now Sarah may you rest in paradise and watch over every single one of us at polah.. You are our Guardian Angel I love you.. WE love you ❤ once a polah bear, always a polah bear.

Dear Brooke and Hector, and Family- I only just heard about Sarah. Words can not express the shock and sadness that I feel and am feeling for you as well. What a lovely young woman Sarah had become, result of wonderful parents and family. We are right across the street if you need anything. Don't be shy about asking. I cannot imagine how you go forward from this, but I know you will. You are strong and have the love and strength of God to hold you up. May God give you peace beyond understanding and never ending love.

I never really known Sarah. She was in my FEM class but I always saw her around the campus of POLA. She always had a bright smile and from what I heard: A very kind and vibrant person. It's tragic that she was taken away from this world too early.
I express my condolences to the Banuelos family.

Sweet sweet Sarah:(
It breaks my heart to hear that such a beautiful and loving young lady such as yourself is no longer with us. I know you are up in heaven with our Father, but you will really be missed. I will forever cherrih every fall and laugh we have ever had. It was an honor to dance with you for the time we did and an honor to have taken you under my wing as my little freshman. May your spirit rest easy Sarah, my prayers and thought are with you and your family, always :(

A wonderful life cut short!... My niece, a young lady with a clean body and soul. The happiness for any mother, but for her own mother, was the life she cannot live. For her father, the pride and support he needs for long time';, for her brothers, the role model and company they won't have anymore.
For all of us, a smile that won't brighten our days anymore.

My heart is bursting with sadness knowing that this sweet child will no longer be with us here on earth. I remember a very loving girl with a beautiful big smile! Always finding ways to have fun! Making her brother Diego do all kinds of tricks and dancing ( brother love)! Loved music art, baking and so many things! She was making lots of big plans for her future I will miss you so very much my beautiful niece! You are and always will be in our hearts! Rest in Peace our little Angel! Loving and missing you, Aunti Carolyn and uncle Carlos

Dear Sarah,
You were such a beautiful person and God has definitely gained another Angel. Even though we weren't that close you would always smile and say hi to me. You were so nice to everybody and had such an amazingly beautiful voice. I hope you rest in peace my little ball of sunshine. You will be dearly missed

My son, Richard, had no idea that he had a previous connection to Sarah from Mommy and Me when he befriended her on our annual family Catalina trip this past summer. He always looked forward to seeing her at SPPY and is in disbelief over her tragic death. However, he's grateful that his last memory with Sarah was a good, long hug. Wishing for those carefree Mommy and Me days.
With deepest sympathy and prayers.

I was not close to sarah at all. I knew her from middle school and since then we've been friends. I'll always remember sarah as the girl with the cute freckles and pretty smile. She is loved by so many, it really was a blessing to have her be apart of my life. Just the other day in government we were talking about fried pickles and how much you like them. it's so hard to believe you're really gone. it will be so hard to look at your seat and know why you're not there. I'll miss you playing uke in the hallways or you singing at the talent show. I'll miss those little memories that would've been apart of my life forever. it's so sad to have such an amazing kind genuine person be taken from us at such a young age. heaven gained another angel. my condolences to her family. rest easy love. I'll see you up there

Sarah, I was tremendously heart broken to hear of this devastating news. I was informed by Jahmel, and I immediately busted into tears. You were the most positive, bright, beautiful girl I knew and love. We would always talk and snapchat back and forth, and no matter what, seeing your face always made my day. I give your family my condolences and may God bless you all. R.I.P Sarah Elizabeth Banuelos

My son, Derek, gave me the news last night. I cried... I saw you grew up through elementary school at South Shores. Always sweet, smart and kind to others. Even though I didn't see you again physically I followed your whereabouts through your Grandpa Lino. He shared with me how amazing and mature you were helping your parents through the difficult times of your Mom's health. I'm heartbroken and will always remember you. Prayers to the Banuelos family.

RIP Beautiful❤ I'll miss you plenty, our laughs in 3rd period last year to our moments in 4th period this year I was wondering why you didn't show up today in class, but now I know why I have to say no one will ever make me laugh as hard as you did ... That smile of yours always made everyone's day and brightened up the classroom as soon as you walked in. I had all our pictures on my old phone you always knew how to cheer me up while I was down, walking through the hallways at school just smiling and laughing at each other I will keep both you and your family in my prayers❤
She always found a way to make you smile with her beautiful personality and her loving heart
