Not sure what to say?

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Sarah today. We were in the same single's ward in SLC and then we worked at LDS hospital at the same time. I always enjoyed running into Sarah because of her genuine love and concern for everyone around her. She had a love for life that we evident in her eyes and smile. I know she loved to run and I remember seeing her running all over Salt Lake.
I lost my husband 9 years ago in an unexpected bicycle accident. I remember how smothering...

Dan, We are so sorry for the passing of Sarah. It was our pleasure to meet her a few weeks back when you came to Michigan. In the short time we were with her we knew you had chosen a very special person to be your wife. Our prayers are with you. Jeff and Mary Kunz

I am shocked and sadened by Sarah's passing. Her and I atteneded GPHS together and lived on New Hope road growing up. She was always an amazing person with love and smiles. All my love and prayers are going out to Sarah's family today. Rest in peacefully in Gods arms Sarah.

Sarah was a warm shining inspiration to all who knew her. She loved freely and lived each day to the fullest with an attitude of appreciation. She was a sweet spirit who would not hesitate even in her own hour of need to help another. The Lord has welcomed home his chosen daughter and she suffers the pains of this world no more. She will always be with me and inspire me to appreciate every moment and live life to the fullest. My Love to the family especially becky and lew.

Her survival with this cancer for 16 months is a miracle...still, her passing really hurts. Love to all her family!

I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Sarah's illness and passing. I enjoyed working with her at LDS Hospital and felt of her tremendous spirit and love for the people she cared for. There will come a time when Sarah will be with us again, until then, may you feel of God's love and peace.
