Dear Caltrider Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sarah was an excellent student, with a ready smile and quick wit in our theatre class. She will be missed in many places and in many ways. "May God hold you in the palm of his hand". You are in my prayers.

Dear Caltriders,
I remember babysitting the girls and I so much enjoyed the love they shared for one another...I remember them all holding hands before eating and saying in unison, "we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other" Sarah was sincerely loved and will be missed by all. You are in my prayers.

Bruce, Suzanne and family:
We did not have the privilege of knowing Sarah, but it is obvious from her obituary that she lived her all-too-short life to the fullest. We cannot imagine the pain of your loss, but we pray that the gift of her fifteen years with you will endure forever in your memories and your hearts.

SARAH’S OBOE
In heaven, there’s an orchestra
That plays as angels sing
The joyful noise reverberates
Across the land, it rings
Amid the horns and woodwinds
A lonely oboe waits
To join the orchestra and play
The music it creates
An empty chair beneath it
Supports the oboe’s frame
It, too, awaits the coming
For a player of acclaim
Then as the band begins to play
A soft and loving hand
Cradles, now, the oboe
And lifts it from its stand
She lifts the oboe to her lips
And she begins to play
A melody so beautiful
It takes the breath away
All eyes and ears are focused on
The oboe’s melody
Each note is simply magical
It weaves a tapestry
And as the melody unfolds
All eyes will shed a tear
On every face, a radiant smile
That spreads from ear to ear
Then when her song is finished
and the praising has begun
the Conductor pulls her close and says
well done, my child, well done
Jan and Tom Bourque

Whenever I hear of someone young dying tragically...it tears at my heart. Having lost a 15 year old (James, 1998) in much the same manner, I can only tell your family 1) the hurt does lessen but never goes away 2) time helps 3) keep those who are living in your focus & you will become a stronger family because of this. Many prayers.

Sue, Bruce and girls,
I remember Sarah coming to a couple of Reece's parties when they were young and what fun she added to any event that she joined. Her light and joy brought happiness to anyone that knew her. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that some how, this pain and sense of loss can be eased through the years. I know that words alone cannot make a great difference right now. The memorial site on Facebook is a true testimony however, to how much she was loved as well as all of you. Love, Laura, Reece and Bailey Cole

Our prayers and thoughts are with all who held Sarah dear.
