Not sure what to say?

Im so sorry for your loss, may God be with you at this time.

Dear Debbie, Lee, Nick, and Maggie,
I only just heard this horrific news somehow. I feel crushed, and have no words, only wonder at how your are bearing up under this. I can only say how deeply, deeply saddened I am by this, and how much my heart goes out to you. I am glad Sarah will live on through the scholarship fund, as well as in so many hearts. With love and all my thoughts to you, Belinda

i did not know sarah but after looking at seeing her work and the passion that embodied it, i feel like i do. i am the mother of blaise laramee, the receipent of the sarah dekker memorial award he received at the central high school graduation a few weeks ago. i have been looking for some way to say how truly thankful i am for this honor that my son received and hope that this note is seen by her family. the donation actually will help blaise tremendously with his college expenses to ursinus...

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to your whole family, going through so much just now. I've heard about this beautiful person for so long; there are enough bright pictures to illuminate her memory forever.

Dear Debby,

I am heartbroken to learn of the loss of your beautiful, beloved, talented daughter Sarah. I cannot possibly imagine what you are going through. Though I did not know her, you have always held a special place in my heart - and I know how deeply you treasure your family. I am holding you, Lee, Sarah, and your entire family in the Light.

Fondly and with heartfelt condolences,

Sara

We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family.

Lee,
My heart goes out to you and your family for this monumental loss. May Sarahs art bring joy to you and many, many others for years to come.
I send all good wishes your way.

I am a friend of over 35 years of Sarah's aunt Susie, and also the mother of a creative, spirited girl who will be 21 in September. So I feel that I knew Sarah -- even though I never met her in person. I am grieving with you and praying for you every day.

I only met Sarah once, although I know some of her extended family well. One meeting was enough to know in my heart that Sarah was a genuinely joyful spirit – beautiful on the outside, but more importantly, beautiful on the inside. ~ Sincere condolences.
