What a sad surprise. Sarah was a primary caregiver for my mother through a long and difficult illness and she was always loving, caring and fun.I feel like she became a friend through those times, and she was a good support to me. I especially remember how much she loved christmas and christmas music. I think of her a lot during this season. I send heartfelt wishes to her family and friends.

I am so saddened to read this news today. I was fortunate to have been Sarah's teacher twenty years ago in Durham. I remember her fondly as a friendly, dedicated student. I was honored a while back when she took the time to add me to her friends list on social media. She had a big heart, and I know she will be missed. Rest in Peace, Sarah Rose, and God grant peace to her family...

I never met you but you in person, but found you through social media. You were such an inspiration to me. You put yourself out there to help others; and that is exactly what you did. Prayers to your family; hopefully the pain of your loss is eased knowing just how much she help others even if it wasn't in person but through social media. She was such a wonderful person Kelly Cline

You were my partner in crime, my best friend, my sister. I wish life didnt seperate us like it did, I regret that it did. Marshwood was the best years of my life, because it had you in them. Who am I going to pick on now during Christmas with my scrooge attitude? Who am I going to share my weird sense of humor and jokes only you get? I love and miss you my hunnybee. Ill never forget everything you did for me and my kids.

My dearest Sarah,
You always had a friendly smile and a warm hug regardless of how much time had passed before we last met. You were an inspiration to many. May you find yourself in the warm graces of our lord, Jesus Christ. Go rest high on that mountain. Give your mom, April, a hug for me. God bless you Patrick, Douglas and Charles. My condolences for your loss. May Sarah fly high with the angels. Hugs.

I can't begin to share how sad I am to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go to the family. I knew Sarah from school, Durham Elementary. She was always kind to me at a hard time in my life. We'd kept up through Facebook and I know she was working hard to better her life. She will be sorely missed.

My family and I knew Sarah well when she worked at Marshwood. She was one of the "2 Sarahs" who took such good care of my father there. Sarah was always smiling, always gentle and always looking for ways to make Dad comfortable and happy. He enjoyed her company and had a much better life because of her care. Rest in peace sweetheart.

This cant be true, I dont believe it. Sarah, we've been partners in crime, we have been friends forever, we've seen each other at our lowest and our highest points.
I just teased you the other day about christmas and all the christmas music youd obsessively play! I dont know what Im going to do without your sarcasm, your humor and love. You were and always be my fellow Sarah, my sister, my best friend. Who am I going to get advice and love from now? I love you for the rest of my life and please watch over Gail and I and say hi to God for me. - Sarah and the clan.
