I love you so much. I will forever miss you. You so totally understood me. You are a friend like no other. There is a hole in my heart that can never again be filled. As much as I miss you, I know you are no longer in pain. Save me a seat as I will see you at my Heaven Date. I love you.

I will dearly miss the visits Sara made to Milwaukee PC to visit Ken occasionally, when she would sneak back into my cubicle and we would catch up! You could talk forever with her...she was so down-to-earth, so real, with an incredible sense of humor and such a generous heart! She was a beautiful woman and she will be sorely missed by all of those whom she touched simply by her amazing spirit, which was so much bigger than her tiny, little body! God bless her entire family and know that she was adored by so many and highly thought of!
