Hi Brent and the Kent family,
I was so sorry to learn of Sarah's death. She was my roommate freshman year of college and although we lost touch, I always wondered what she was up to and where her life took her. She was such a dynamic person and a great friend, and I have a lot of very fun memories from our freshman year. It's so sad that such a special life was cut so short. She will never be forgotten.

Sarah's story saddens me, but at the same time reminds me that we are not promised tomorrow, so we should make the best of today.

Dear Kent's and Brent~
I just recently heard about Sarah's passing. Although I didn't have Sarah in class at Valley View, our paths crossed during those years. I also know how hard it is to lose a child. She continues to be a beautiful spirit, inspiring others and showing us all how to live.
I wish you each a continued sense of her love and presence.
Sincerely,
Kit Olson

I was deeply saddened to hear of Sarah's loss. We graduated high school together and alothough we were not close friends, she and I were friends in middle school. I remember inviting her to my birthday party in sixth grade and being so excited about my new friends I was making at Valley View. My prayers go out to all of her family and friends and I hope we can all remember her for her kind demeanor and sweet smile.
