Sometimes angels leave this world early
So that we can feel what they mean to us
And think about what they stand for
And stood for in life.

Someone wrote, "A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment her beauty and glory belong to our world ... but then she flies on. And although we wish she could have stayed, we feel so blessed to have seen her." How Sarah blessed our hearts and lives! Love to you all....Becky, Mark and Ben

We will all miss Sarah's kindred spirit and will keep the family in our thoughts and prayers. We would like to share with you a very special poem in this difficult time:
A meeting was held not far from earth "it's time again for another birth said the angels to the Lord above. "This special child will need much love, her progress may seem very slow, accomplishments she may not show, and she will need extra care from the folks she meets way down there. She may not run, or laugh or play, her thoughts may seem far away. So let's be careful where she is sent, we want her life to be content. Please Lord find parents who will do a special job for you. They will not realize right away the leading role they've asked to play, but with this child sent from above comes stronger faith and richer love. And soon they'll know the privilege given in caring for this gift from heaven. Their precious charge so meek and mild is heaven's very special child.
God Bless the Heilbronner Family!
