I am very sorry for your loss. I remember riding the school bus with Sarah and Marie since I was 6 years old. In reading about Sarah's life after the time I knew her I can say it sounds like she lived a more meaningful and fullfilling life in this short time then most will ever experience. Blessings be with your family in these hard times - Andrew Hicks

I was saddened to hear of your loss. When I was around Sarah, she impressed me as a young woman who knew who she was. She seemed confident, considerate and respectful of others and intentional in her choices. May you be comforted by the knowledge that she made a positive difference in this world despite her brief stay here. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We're sending you all much love from Irondale.

Every time I think of Sarah, I think of smiles and joy, for that is how I knew her in our brief interactions in life, bumping into her on the streets of Anchorage, dancing at the McCarthy Lodge, and potlucks in Kennecott. My heart aches for the Thorn's, Gerrit and the huge clan of family and friends that loved her. Much love to all.
