I just learned of Sarah´s death this week end when I tried to re connect by searching for her phone number. Sarah was a music student of mine at Our Lady Help, who, like all the Sawicks I knew, had a sincere love of music and a beautiful voice. Once in class when I was showing different types of religious hymns, she responded to There Is None Like You with "I thought it was a wedding song!"
I was hoping to hear of her blossoming and am saddened to know that her life was short. My deepest sympathy to Luke, Angelique, and Annelise and their mother, all of whom I knew and will remember always.

With Much Love,

As a mom of two teenage girls who were grade school mates of Sara, I am so shocked and saddened by Sara's passing! Jamie showed me a video of Sara singing in ur kitchen. 'Chandelier' ... Every time I hear that song, I relive that video of your beautiful and full-of-life Sara singing!!!
I cant begin to comprehend ur pain and loss! I will always remember Sara's beautiful spirit and she will live forever in Our hearts and memories!!! I pray for all of you always!!!

Sara is a special girl. I first met her while I was Secretary at Bishop McDevitt and she brightened my day, every day. Kind, loving, fun and always made me feel good. I was going thru a difficult time and she reached to me and I'll never forget that. She was our waitress at Roman Delight 1 year ago when my father in law was very sick at Abington and I introducedher to my husband and he thought she was so sweet. In a funnier note, she picked me to "Dancing with the Teachers" and planned and practiced with me. A great memory. God has a plan for you in heaven to make everyone you meet smile. Mrs. B

I could never imagine the magnitude of your pain but I take comfort in your enduring faith! Through all your trials in this life and we all know there have been many. Your family has been an inspiration to all of us. I know your faith will see you through this, and in the face of eternity it will only be a short while until you are all reunited once again. We will make it a point to keep you all in our daily thoughts and prayers and also as we look towards the sky we will ask your beloved Sara to do the same (I am sure she already is!) I truly believe she is in a place where she is able to and always will be with you all on your journey in this world until you all meet again. May God bless you all and please accept our sincerest condolences.
