To Sarah's family: Having known Sarah since the 4th grade, I remember her laugh, kindness, strong will and determination. I ran track with her, danced in the Channelettes with her, and she brightened up everyone's day! We will miss you honey! God Bless the Family. Terri (Reeves) McDonald and James (Hook) McDonald.

Chris & Ryan, I didn't know your Mom as well as some but I met her when you were both born. She was so proud of you two then and I'm sure she's proud of you now. Both of you know that she loved you unconditionally and she would want you to go on with your lives, be
happy and take care of your Dad.
My prayers are with you.

Dear Judy and Kenneth, I just found out about Sarah's passing a few days ago. I know it has been many years since I have seen you and the children, but I felt that I just couldn't let this pass without telling you how sorry I am for your loss. I don't have a clue about what it could be, but there must be a purpose for these happenings - only God can know.

Ryan & Chris: I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I didn't know her well, but by the way you spoke of her and how y'all turned out, I know that she was an amazing woman. I'm sure she is looking down on you now and happy to see what wonderful boys she raised. If you need anything at all, I want you to know that I am here for you, no matter what, I'm just a phone call away. I love you guys.
ps. The Cross Family sends their condolences, too.

I didn't know Sarah personally, just as an underclassman in passing in the hallways of Channelview High. She seemed very nice with a smile always on her face and was always surrounded by friends.
I hope that the hole that I know is in your heart from losing her will soon be filled with beautiful and happy memories. My utmost condolences to the entire family at this devastating time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We had the best times growing up & old together. We shared so many good memories. When we were kids, we pricked our fingers and became blood sisters & promised we would be Best Friends 4-Ever and we were! Through the years, we smile,laughed & cried together. We were always there for each other no matter where life took us. I'm truly blessed to have her for a best friend. She will always be in my heart. I love her & will miss her dearly. I WILL KEEP MY PROMISE to her!
B.F.A! (best friends always)

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
