To my best friend in the world! You are gone but you are not forgotten! Even as the years pass, every day I want to call you to tell you what is going on in my life. I visit your grave to talk to you and then I am mad that I have to go to my best friends grave. The peace that I have and that you had restores my love for you! I can't bring you enough daisies or enough butterflies to show all my love for you! I have to go on without you and I know that you would and always will be a major part of my life. I miss you soo much and you are alive in my heart.

My Darling Sarah,

It has been 5 long years since you left this world. I miss you every day. I often wonder; now that I live here in Wichita; how much time we would be spending together, like shopping, making memories on the holidays, talking about the boys, and going on another wonderful Royal Caribbean cruise. I not only lost my wonderful daughter, but I lost my best friend.

I was so mad at God for taking you away. I have since found peace with God. I know now why God took you at a young age. It is because you earned your wings. You are a true angel.

I remember the hurt that you were in, but always managed to smile no matter how much you hurt. The boys are wonderful boys. They were only 6 and 8 when you left, Devon is 13 now, and like you knew he is very smart. Duston is 11, and quite the young boy, energetic, just like you. You left such wonderful memories for them. We talk about you often, about things we used to do together. They will cherish the memory books. They miss you terribly. as I do.

With Love, your mother.

June 4, 2007

It has been too long!
I have not forgoten. It doesn't seem to be 3 years that I lost my best friend. I go to her grave and I pray that she knows we still love her and that we miss her terribly. I miss her smile. I miss that when my phone rang it was her. I hate that life has to go on without her. She is in my heart and I love her.
I want soo much for her to be here.
It has been too long. I love you Sarah. And I will see you again.

Devon-Your mom used to work for me at WalMart a long time ago. You were really little last time I saw you. I even babysat for you and your brother a few times. I just wanted to let you know that your mommy loved you kids SO much and talked about you guys every single day. I saw so many pictures of you all the time. I was just thinking of your mom and checked this site to see if her photo was still there and saw your recent entry. I figured your mom would want me to let you know how much she loved you and your brother and what a great mom she was. She was very proud of you boys! Im glad to hear you guys are doing well too.

I am missing Sarah today. I will never be able to express in words how much Sarah meant to me and how having her in my life changed me forever. I have just read Devon and the girls entries and I felt like if they can write I can. I visit Sarahs grave often to talk to her. I know she is waiting in heaven for us but for some reason I am drawn there. Sarah meant everything to me. She was my best friend. I could always count on her. I miss her so much that I can't even believe that it has been almost 2 years. I will NEVER forget her or what she stood for. I love you soo much Devon and Duston and I will not let you forget your mom. My heart will never be full again without Sarah. She was soo beautiful and strong. I miss her sooo much. I think of her several times a day and even though she would hate it I cry. Vickie, Shane,Devon and Duston I am so glad you remain in my life, for each time I look at any of you I see Sarah. You will never understand how important you all are to me. I told Sarah I would never say goodbye to her and I haven't. I talk to her and gain strength from her. A beautiful person was taken away too soon. Sarah if forever in my heart. I love and miss her more than I could ever express.

Hi we are Kenzie and Kayla Brooks daughters of Shane brooks and Shawnda Lamb. My aunt Sarah died almost 2 years ago. I remember she was very very nice. We went to her funeral and we met a lot of new people. It still seems like just yesterday she died. She helped many others like family and friends. She died of a very strong cancer a brain tumor. McKenzie’s comment my mom said Sarah and her all ways went to the store and bought clothes for me when I was just a baby. I miss her very very very much more than any thing in the world. I was just 7 when she died. McKayla’s comment if I got one wish I would wish she was back and she never got a tumor. I was only 5 when she died but I still remember so much about her. She got me a sparkly horse that is so pretty she got it for my Birthday. It only has a little bit of stains. I have another horse that has blue fur and a white main. They still remind me of Sarah. She met so much to us. We all lean on our hands while we eat just like Sarah and Shane. Sarah’s hobbies where to make scrap books.

It is never a good time to lose a parent. I am so sorry for your loss. When I lost my parents I realized how much my Heavenly Father loved me and could bring fullness of life into my grief filled life. I pray that God will lead and comfort you as you look to him, for he will always be near

Danny I am sure that you dont remember Lennie and I but Vickie will. I want you to know that we have held all of you in our prayers for a long time and still do. Sarah was such a sweet kid when she worked for me at the cafe when she was in high school. I will never forget some of the good times we had. We never understand why these things have to be this way only God can answer that. One thing we do know is that he is really proud of his new Angel.

God Bless and Keep you All.

I was blessed to know Sarah, we sat by eachother while working for Royal Caribbean. She was always so happy and positive about everything. I can still hear her laughter. She was so proud of her boys, she would always bring their pictures in and show me. It was a long tough fight for her, but now she is healthy and smiling again.

My thoughts and prayers to the family.

I want to send my love to all of Sarah's family. I will never be able to express how much Sarahs friendship meant to me. I could always count on her to be there to listen or to go do something when i needed company. She was always there for anyone that needed help. She was always smiling even during her fight with cancer. I cant put into words the wonderful things and the beautiful ways she touched peoples lives. I am so lucky to have been able to have her in my life even if it was just for a short time because just knowing her made me a better person. I know now that we have the most spcial and protective angel to watch over us and make sure we are safe.

I know heaven is a much brighter place now because they have our beautiful Sarah there to brighten things up with her beautiful smile and bright eyes.

All my love to Danny, Devon and Duston. Special hugs to Vicki you are a special friend. Stephany your poem said it all thank you for sharing that with us.

I also want to send a special thanks to everyone that helped Danny and Vicki with the planning of the services it was totally amazing. No one could have asked for a better day. big hugs to all of you.

I was lucky enough to be in Tupperware when Sarah was and got to know Sarah by working with her at the mall. We had a great time and the memories will be with me always. I admire Sarah for all the fight she had in her and also for knowing when the time was right to end her fight and go to a better place. To Stephany: You are a dear friend and we could all be so lucky to have a friend like you! I am sorry that you have lost your dear friend in body but you know her spirit will always be with you!!

I worked with Sarah several years ago at Olan Mills. She was so much fun to work with. She always made sure that others were happy. She loved life and was always a very happy person. The thing that I remember the most about her is the ability to make others happy, and the dedication that she had to her family. I always had fun when she was around and she will be greatly missed. My thought and prayers go out to her boys and husband.

My fondest memories of Sarah is when she and I would play this game, that she had purchased for her boys. She brought that game to work and we spent hours playing it between phone calls. Sarah would laugh because I could figure out the hard ones, but the beginner ones always gave me trouble.

I will always remember Sarah for the courage and the strength she brought to work every day. I learned alot from such a young lady. At work she was always smiling and talking about her wonderful family. Before she went on the cruise with her children and husband, she was counting the days until they could leave.

Every day she came in and talked about how excited Devon and Dustin were. She brought in pictures that the children drew before the cruise as to what they expected, and more pictures after the cruise to what they actually got to do and see. The before and after pictures were nothing alike.

She also liked talking about going to Missouri to see her family there. Sarah told me she loved going there, not necessarily the drive but once she arrived there she had a great time.

I laughed with Sarah and I talked with Sarah. She never felt sorry for herself! She really thought she was going to beat the cancer! I prayed that she would!

I remember her sitting at her desk eating Pistachio nuts, she got me hooked on them too! I had never seen anyone eat those nuts like she did. Now I know why, they are wonderful.

THANK YOU SARAH,I don't need the calories but I will always remember you when I eat them.

Sarah would come into work and tell me about Curves and how much she like going there. I asked when do you have time? She said, 'it was only 30 minutes so many times a week' she also said, 'she felt better after going.' I wish I had her energy.

I will remember Sarah for all the wonderful times she voluntered to help out at the school the boys attended. She truly enjoyed being around and helping with her children in any way she could.

In closing I would like to say Sarah was one of the most down to earth people I have ever met and I will truly miss her! I will always remember her the way I knew her. SMILING, LAUGHING, AND BEING ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSONS I HAVE EVER MET.

Saras strength is inspiring and amazing to those of us who were blessed to have known her. She loved life and her family So much. And often spoke of her boy’s and family with such love, it was easy to see the depth of her love for her family.

My deepest sympathies go to Sara's family and to her Husband who has suffered such a great loss. I will continue to keep you in my prayers for God to carry to you through this difficult time and may God bless you with the strength and peace you need.

We all lost a beautiful friend But God now has a truly beautiful new angel. Those of us that knew Sara at royal Caribbean will remember Sara and her beautiful smile.

Sarah and I worked together at Royal Caribbean. She often talked about her two little boys, Devan and Duston. Sarah kept thier pictures on her desk all the time as she didn't like being away from them. When she talked about her little family she always had a smile on her face!

She had a love for life and an even greater love for her boys.

May God Bless her family and Comfort them through this time of grief and sadness.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. I worked with Sarah at Royal Caribbean she was on my team. My last week there Sarah got to feeling better to where she went back to work part-time. She had high spirits and very bubbly. She went to Carlos O' Kellys once a week with a friend and always asked me to go. I never did do to having other obligations. She will be missed. My prayers are with you.

I worked with Sarah at Royal Caribbean, she was on my team when I worked there. Before my last day there she just came back and started working Part-time and feeling great. I lost touch with her after that. I always remebered her telling me that her and her girlfriend had a night out every week and they went to Carlos 'O Kelly's. She asked if I wanted to go sometime. I never did. I want to send my sympathy to her family. I wish you guys the best and she always spoke very highly of her family, she loved you guys very much. You are in my prayers. God Bless

I was so sorry to read about Sarah, I have often wondered what happened to your family. She grew up to be a beautiful young woman , she looks just like you Vickie.

I only knew her as a young child but I know she was a great big sister to the twins, and a great partner in crime to Shane, I know you will all miss her.

You are in our prayers
