Sarah Walzer Obituary

Born on April 30th, 1988, Sarah Alice Walzer passed away in her sleep on February 8, 2010 after spending a month as the youngest resident of Pearlview Nursing Home in Brunswick.

Her family would like to thank their staff for all the tender loving care given to her during that time.

Sarah was a 2006 graduate of Brunswick High School before attending Bowling Green State University and Lorain Community College as an Art Major. She could transform any canvas into a beautiful mosaic with just a few magical strokes of a brush. Her love of amusement parks, especially rollercoasters, earned her the nickname of ``Coaster' at an early age. She spent the last few summers as a ride operator at Cedar Point and was also an employee of the hotel at Lake Side Resort near the trailer her parents owned in Marblehead. She spent winters at the trailer and offered shelter to other young people less fortunate than herself. She truly had a heart of gold and will now be known as ``Saint Sarah of Cedar Point.'

Sarah was preceded in death by her grandparents, Robert and Alice Walzer and Ray Oldenburgh and cousin, Karl d'Aquin. She is survived by her parents, Stephen and Susan Walzer and sister, Lisa of Brunswick. Others who will miss her are Uncle Mike Walzer and Aunt Kathleen Hayes of Akron and cousin, Joel d'Aquin, Aunt Chris and Uncle Doug Landry of Stow and cousins, Molly, Michelle, and Patrick; Grandmother Phyllis Oldenburgh of Parma, Uncle David Oldenburgh and cousin, Brian of Bay Village, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Glenn Goodwin of Broadview Heights and cousins, Allison and Michelle. Sarah will also be missed by many other relatives and close friends including Jeff Fordyce, Sarah Kiziah, Sarah Mattin, and Kyle Ulrich.

Visitation at Waite & Son Funeral Home, 3300 Center Rd. (Rt. 303 at I-71), Brunswick, Thursday, 4 to 8 p.m., with service at the funeral home Friday at 10 a.m.

Dear Steve and Susan,
I can not imagine your pain, but my heart and prayers go out to you and all those who were touched by Sarah; and it sounds like there were many. Her memory will keep her young forever and her love for you will keep her in your hearts. May God bless and watch over you both at this very tragic time.

I only knew Sarah for a short time and she was wonderful! She was artistic and funny and kind even though some people weren't kind to her, for reasons I can't even imagine I know she was wonderful and so do the people who count, I hope Sarah is much happier now wherever she is. She will be missed greatly by those who came into contact with her.

I really loved Pearl Veiw's staff. The nurses from the Hospice were the sweetest people i have ever met. They have hearts of gold like Sarah. I hope all of you are doing well in this difficult time, and that all of the love that surrounds you fills you with hope in the name of our angel.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Steve, I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think I've seen you since church at St. Joes circa '80. You had just married and were in engineering, so I assume I met Lisa. I'll never forget you and the nuns at CCD, or the time you whooped the upstart Gary Coberly at Bolich. None of my guest entries ever get on line, by the way. Hope you read this though.
Fondest memories,
Vince Falcone '73

Dear Sue, Steve and Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sarah's light may have gone out here on Earth, but I'm pretty sure I saw a particularly bright star in the sky last night.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I've never personally met Sarah, but I know she was a special person by the look in Steve's eyes anytime he spoke of his daughters. My prayers are with the Walzer family.

May God bless you during this time.
