Memories and Condolences

It seems merely yesterday that Sarah, my siblings, myself, and the Bains would hang out and talk outside and spend time together. I've known Sarah since we were younger and she grew into a beautiful, funny young lady who knew what she wanted to accomplish in life. I remember visiting my doctor's office while she worked there and her telling me of her future dreams in the field that I am sure would have made an impact on the world. I can't believe that what happened to her is real, there is no sense in it and no answer to be found. Renee, I wish you and your family strength and (eventually) peace. I know she'll be missed by many people. I'm not religious so I can't say anything along those lines, but remember all of the moments you shared with her and take joy and solace in the 19 years you shared with her. If you keep her close in your heart and memory, she'll still be around..just in a different way. Everyone in our lives-for however long or short a time-is there for a reason and purpose. I DO believe you will see her again someday. Remember you can always count on my family if you need anything. We all cared for Sarah and extend our deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Phil, Renee, and rest of the Trautwein family,
I was sad to hear about the loss of your sister and daughter. I have many fond memories of her. She always seemed to be the voice of reason when me and Phil hung out which is funny because she was so much younger than us. I remember laughing in the car with all three of you about Phil's knowledge of his own strength. Sarah could tell a good joke. And when she was with Renee, the two of you would play off each other. I remember crying in laughter. It hurts to know that she isn't around. She was a bright beacon of joy for me when I was able to see her. And I know I am not the only one. I will keep you in my prayers as I cannot begin to imagine how devastating this is for your family. May the Lord provide you rest and comfort.----Zachary M. Matusheski

Renee,
I am sorry for your loss, Sarah was an amazing young lady as I read all that is written about her I can't help but smile as I can see her smiling or hear her giggle. It seems as Sarah has added light to many lives I know she touched myself and my daughters. She will be missed.
Fondly,

Renee,
We've known Sarah too since she was a young girl when she would come over across the street to play with Kenny and Kerri and had dinner at our house on many occasions. She was sweet and bright eyed and had a brilliant smile. We are praying for you and your entire family during this difficult time. It's hard to remain faithful when God calls a young one home, but rest assured that in his master plan, he has now a beautiful angel in Sarah. May God grant you peace during this most difficult time.
Much Love,
The Hueftle Family
Ken, Janis, Stefanie, Kerri, & Kenny

Although I do not know you or your daughter,I understand the pain you are experiencing, I lost my 19 year old son in 2007. There is no greater loss than that of a child. You will grieve forever but you can find strength from family, friends and God. Your beautiful daughter was a gift from above. Cherish the memories of her and keep her spirit alive by talking about her everyday.

Renee, my heart and prayers go out for you and your family. There is no heartbreaking shock worse than the death of a child, especially when it is unexpected. Even though she had become a young women, she was still the little girl you had loved and cared for every day of her life. I hope your memories of her are providing some comfort as you remember the feelings of joy that a daughter can bring as she grows and matures.

Dear Renee
There are never the right words to express how deeply sad I am that you have to endure your loss. Sarah will be truly missed by everyone who knew her no matter where they crossed her path in life. My heart truly hurts for your families pain.I have such funny memories of her. That contagious laugh that interrupted about 10 minutes of family movie night. How she was the only one that said I was a good cook. The list goes on and on.

Dear Renee and family:
Words cannot express how sad I was to hear about the passing of Sarah, and there are no existing words that can express the feelings of sadness that you are experiencing right now. However, please know and understand that Sarah was a true blessing from God. I can wholeheartedly say that Sarah always made my days much, much better. I know that I am not the only one who would say that she had a way of lighting up entire rooms. And she made you feel good that you had a chance to talk to her, even when she was giving you not so good news. Reminder phone calls to Sarah were never met with a bad attitude, but rather a promise to do better. Sarah made our lives richer, and her wonderful spirit reminds us of the importance of living with a positive attitude, despite life's setbacks. Indeed, she was the epitome of the saying "it's not the years in one's life that matters, but the life in one's years". So, although she was here for a short time, she taught many of us valuable lessons that we probably would not have learned from anyone else. Sarah was nothing short of a gem, and I will miss her.
My condolences to Renee and your entire family,
Paul Stephens, Jr., MD
