Pint the Sky Tonight

PAINT THE SKY TONIGHT

She met Jesus on the sunrise,
Which was fitting for her life,
They planned today together,
What to do to share more light.

Her eyes were bight as diamonds,
And her smile was seen by all.
If you were down you caught her laughter,
And she'd never let you fall.

She loved the little children,
And the crazy and the few,
Which were different in their own way,
She even loved them too..

She could turn the darkness into...

Sarah was an amazing person to know ! I met her my freshman year of college on dorm 12 :) she was always so full of life <3

My prayers to your family. I was not aware of Sarah's passing. There is no greater loss than that of our child.

Right now Sarah is more fully alive then she ever was while here on earth, which is really saying something, since Sarah lived life, lived every moment, every minute to the fullest degree. In affirmation of the truth that she is living, my writing will reflect this as I write in the present tense.
Sarah's eyes are always the feature that stand out most - bright and joyful, dancing with life and a sparkle of the unconventional ;) Her enthusiasm, out-going personality and...

Dear Beth & Family: Our deepest sympathies to you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish I had known Sarah, but I'm sure that like her mother, she touched many lives. Hugs to you and much love, Kris

Precious Sarah, our first born grandchild, is now with God and the others that went before. We will miss her natural talents that will not have the opportunity to blossom. The last time we were with Sarah was Laura's graduation party. It was plain to see that she was ready to attack the world with her usual enthusiasm. We will always love and miss "Dear Sarah". Grandma and Grandad Glass.

Sarah was my counselor for many years at the ranch. She is the reason I am who I am today. Sarah is the one who guided me my first game of paintball, who encouraged me to be more spontaneous and try things I would never have thought of doing, and she was the person who was with me when I accepted Jesus into my life as my Lord and savior for the first time. Thinking of her now of course makes me sad but more than that it makes me smile and laugh and think of all the people she impacted and how...

We will always remember Sarah with love and the wonderful times we had with her during family gatherings. Her wonderful ability to put people at ease, tell funny stories, and make everyone laugh were just some of her special gifts. Sarah's love for the Lord and others was so transparent in everything she said and did. We are sure she is having a ball in heaven! We look forward to seeing her again in our heavenly home.

Sarah, Emilee, Lindsey, Laura

Sarah, Vivacious is the word that will always describe who you are to me. You lived your life to the full on earth. You cherished each moment. I remember sitting with you and your family on the eve of going to Liberty. You were excited about your transition to college and all the promise of your future in Lynchburg. But, you were also fully involved in what was unfolding in your life right then which was summer camp. I can only imagine that today you are still living life to the full in the...
