Wendy, Mark and grandparents - I already signed this log once but I wanted to let you know that we're still thinking of Valorie and Sara and the loss is great and while it will never be the same people love you and we're thinking of and praying for you. Cherish the lives touched and hold to the memories - until you see them again.

Wendy,
I was so sorry to hear about Sara and Valorie. Wendy, you always had a smile on your face when you talked about your sister; she was blessed to have you in her life. I pray that you feel some comfort in remembrances of that relationship.

Sara and I had an opportunity to work together this year. Over the years, we smiled and said hello; but, we worked together at the Fair. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to talk and get to know her. My thoughts and prayers are of those she loved and will see again some day. She and Valorie are in His loving hands.

Wendy & Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of this horrible tragedy that has come upon the family of Sara and Valorie. I know God has them in His arms safe and sound now. He will heal the family and friends we just need to listen to Him and allow the healing to happen. It will take time but allow God to heal :) Keep their memories alive by remembering the good things. Wendy we live in the same town of Baltimore, please let Tom and I know if you need anything and we will be right there to help in any way we can. I'm so glad I was able to speak with Sara one more time at Laurel's retirement party. I hadn't talked to her for a while and I feel so much better being able to speak to her again after us not speaking for a while. God sure has a way of bringing people together sometimes and I'm glad he allowed me that moment with Sara. Please contact us if you need anything. You have our e-mail address.

No matter what type of day that I was having, seeing and talking to Sara would brighten up my day. I'm still having a very difficult time in processing that I won't see her smile, hear her voice, hear her laugh, see her walking at work, see her smile or hear her say something that would me me laugh. It is so sad to see the life of a wonderful person end so early and tragicly. I will greatly miss her.

To the Family,
Word can not express my sorrow at your loss. As the days pass may your tears turn to smiles as you remember the little things that made them special, I will miss Sara's smile when I would pass her in the hallway here at RSC. My prayers are with you, and may God give you peace.

To the Family of Sara & Valorie:
Even though their lives ended so tragically, I was so glad I got to meet them both, Sara was like a whirlwind when she came through the door, she never met a stranger, and you never forgot her, once you met her, they both will be missed so much. May God keep them safe now in his arms.

To the family of Sara & Valorie, I worked with Sara at RSC for many years. I will miss her spirited personality. She was always so full of life. Sara never came into a room that you didn't know her presence. There is a quietness now. God has called Sara & Valorie home now to keep them safe.
May God bless you all.

To All Who Loved Sara - What can I say, what a blessing Sara was on Earth! She taught me about myself and made me a better person. What a beautiful, spirited girl, full of life. I only met Valerie as a baby, but I'm sure she was as lovely as her mother. I'm deeply sorry I will never see them again in this life. I know one day we'll meet again in Heaven. My prayers are with all of you.

A Million times you were in our thoughts, A million times we've cried. If love alone could have saved you both, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, No one else will ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you both, But you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you, The day God called you home. I will never forget the moments we shared together as sadness fills my heart. I will miss you both very much!

Wendy and Family,
As you try and deal with this terrible tragedy know how many people are thinking of you all over and especially at Rehabilitation Services Commission. The tears that are shed are not only for the loss but for the love that people had for Sara. She was funny, good spirited all of the time and great to be around. Please take care Wendy (my mom is thinking of you) and the rest of the family. God Bless you ALL -

Sara, thank you for the pieces of life you shared with me through the years. You touched so many people in a positive and helpful way. I know your daughter did the same. There is comfort that you will fly together through eternity. For those left behind God has the power to heal.

Wendy, and, the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I had the pleasure of knowing Sara for many years. She was more than a coworker, she was like a sister to me. We shared alot of things, we scheduled our breaks and lunches together, just to make time to spend together to get caught up on our lives. I will miss her. I sit at my cubicle waiting on her to say something to me through the cubicle wall. I love her for being that sister that I never had. I want you guys to know that if you need anything, don't hestitate calling me. Hold on to the memories, they will see us all through this terrible time.
