Not sure what to say?

My sister, you were my valentine for far more years than any boy ever was. Missing you today.

I so enjoyed working with Sara. She was one of the rare people you work with whom everyone loves. Always caring and thoughtful. Quiet in manner which is so refreshing in today's world. She talked about her niece and nephew often and loved them so. I will truly miss her. I am a better person having known her.

I love you my sister

So sorry to hear of Sara's passing. I will always think of her as my sweet third grader in my Sunday School class at Rives. Much love and prayers! From Marci Stanley and family

My condolences to the Nelson family. Sara made a huge impact me in my early college career and I was so greatful for her encouragement and peace. She will be dearly missed.

My husband and I only met Sara a few years ago when her cousin, Curt married our daughter Alicia. Sara always had a smile and would do anything for family and friends that she loved. She seemed to put others first and that was what made her happiest. We felt like we had known her for years .......and send our heartfelt deepest sympathies to all her family and friends. Talk of her often - keep her memories close and she will stay close in your heart.

Joan, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I will miss my precious friend. Sara was one of a kind! Love and prayers to her sweet family. Brenda Hinson

While I don't know your family, I was so moved by your beautiful tribute to such a wonderful, impactful woman. God's blessings upon you for strength and peace. Our Loving Father called Sara Jean home way too early for you but He obviously had some real big plans for her from above. I am so, so sorry for your sudden, deep loss. Hang tight to your faith - it will help sustain you.
