Not sure what to say?

From time to time, I see Sara's radiant smile in my mind's eye. I will never forget you!

You have been away now for 6 years but are never forgotten .... My sister Kate wrote 2 years ago that she would 'see you on the other side' .... I'm sure you were there to greet Kate when she transitioned and the two of you are once again dancing and laughing together. May you rest in peace, dear, sweet (yet wickedly funny) Sara. You are remembered and always loved..... Toni xoxo

I often think of Sara. My memories of her are triggered by many things such as our board work together for the International Association of Structural Integrators, walking the streets of NYC, mutual friends, etc... I loved her bright mind, quick wit and compassionate heart. I love that she fought to make change. I will always love her.

You continue to be deeply missed my dear, sweet, hysterically funny friend! Can't believe so much time has passed since your transition. Seems like only yesterday. I'll definitely see you on the other side. In the meantime, you're always in my heart.

Sara, a light among lights, your elegant and spirited personality inspires me to live a life as fully as you did. I love you and I toast you. I will do something in your honor for the right to die with dignity and decision. Rest in Peace dear friend... oxoxoxox

Dearest Sara you will be deeply missed. My deepest sympathy to Chuck and your family. We had so many wonderful years with our dogs in the park. Every afternoon. There are no words really. You were such a kind and generous person and this illness was so cruel. I will miss you dearly.

I never met Sara but was in contact with her through PatientsLikeMe and Facebook. She was an outstanding advocate for those with ALS as well as those who wanted choice at the end of life. I admired her fight and determination from thousands of miles away (London). We often had an "online" drink together and I will drink to her memory tonight. Wishing those she has left behind peace and comfort.

Strong, funny, honest Sara. You were the friend to have when you needed a kick in the pants and an honest appraisal of what was going on. You used these traits in the fight of your life. You also used your wide open empathy for those who were not as strong as you to fight for them. I am proud to have been considered one of your friends and my heart goes out to your family, including your NYC "family"Miranda, David and Eric.

Raising a glass to toast the life of dear friend Sara. Sending love and light to her family and friends everywhere. RIP Sara, you are missed and will always be remembered!
