We were told of Sarah's story by my cousin from Gatlinburg, after the loss of our daughter just one year ago, such a tragedy. To the children and family of Sarah, hold on to God He is the only way to get through this time. He will never leave nor forsake you, We are praying for you.

I knew Sarah in college and she was such a good person and a delight to talk too. Her loss is such a tragedy, I cannot express how truly sorry I am for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I honestly wished that I had an opportunity to meet Sarah....she must have been a very special person! I am a mother of three, and my heart goes out to those precious babies! Your family is in my prayers and I am so very sorry for your loss!

I am so sorry for your loss of Sarah. I have been thinking about your family especially the kids all week. I hate that this happened and I hope the best for the kids despite the obstacles that have now been placed in front of them. Love and prayers to all of you!

Words cannot express the grief and sadness I feel for Sarah's family, friends and her three children. My heart aches for those precious babies. My sincere thoughts are with everyone that was close to her.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Sarah for 4 years thru Happy Tails, but truly thought the world of her. She was such a friend / support to me after my daughter was hit by a drunk driver. My heart is completely broken...I can't begin to fathom the pain you're going through. We know that our Savior is holding Sarah in His loving arms...because He lives, she's with Him and all fear is gone. I pray that the Lord will strengthen you on the long journey ahead. Only HE can provide the comfort you so desparately need. May His love envelope you ALL. I will also pray for God's hand of protection and guidance to be upon those three precious children. Again, words can't express the grief and sadness I feel for your family...I'll contunue to hold you up in prayer.

Helen, Matthew and children, Words can not express the sorrow and pain you must be feeling. I loved Sarah and always thought she was the most beautiful girl growing up and from what I got to know, she was a beautiful woman as well. I had just recently reconnected with Sarah via facebook, we didn't talk a lot but I could sure see how proud of her children she was always adding new pictures of them and her comments about them. I came to the receiving of friends and part of the service on Saturday, I am so sorry I didn't get to tell you in person that my heart goes out to all of you, and I will keep praying that God wraps his loving arms around each of you and feels you with peace that only he can give. I love you and your whole family.

The world is a sadder place without Sarah. She had a smile that could light up a room. We met at the gym and spent many hours warming the benches and talking. Your daughter was a beautiful person inside and out and we are all better people for having known her. No matter what was going on in her life she always had a smile and time for others. She was a wonderful mother and loved those babies with everything she was. I pray that you and your family can find peace in the fact that she is with Jesus and think how happy she is now. You and those precious babies are in my prayers.

I did not know your daughter personally; however, she worked with my dad for a time at Ham N'Goodys in downtown Knoxville. He always spoke of her in high regards. I know she will be greatly missed.
Being a mother of two precious little ones, my heart grieves for Sarah's three little ones, as well as for all of her family. I pray you will find comfort in leaning on the everlasting arms of Jesus during this time. I also pray that you will find God's grace to be so sufficient in your moment of need. As you awake each new morning, possibly wondering at times what there is to get up for, I pray that you will find Romans 8:28 to hold true for your life...this definitely is not the way you would've planned life to be, but God CAN and will "work all things together for good..." someway, somehow...
We will continue to keep your whole family in our prayers. God bless each of you.

To the McDonald family,
I am so, so sorry for your tragic loss. I am very shocked and saddened, words cannot express how I feel. I knew Sarah from the business for 12 years and what a beautiful, sweet person she truly was. She was so kind, she even gave my dog a Christmas present and made a specialty ornament for him as well. I still have it to this very day and will cherish it.
She was loved by all that knew her, a beautiful soul. From what I saw and have heard she was a loving, devoted, wonderful mother and my heart aches for her precious babies.
Please know that you, Matthew and the children are in my thoughts and prayers every day at this most difficult time.
With My Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy and Love,
Bryant Brewer

Dear Family,
As many have said to you I knew Sarah through Happy Tails. She was such an awesome person and a great mother. I know the loss that you feel can not be conveyed to anyone at present, but I am thankful that Sarah has a wonderful family that will continue her legacy with those beautiful children. May God Bless you and grant you the strength in the days ahead.

As I read several of these posts in the guest book it is clear everyone who knew Sarah, even if only for a moment all say the same things ... Mrs. McDonald, your daughter and Matthew, your sister had a smile that lit up this world, those big brown eyes that told such a story, and arms that always held those children so tight and loved each of them like no other. She will be greatly missed but heaven sure is blessed to have that smile among their angels.
Debbie Mayo

My heart weeps for you. You have been given a heavy cross to bear losing your husband and now Sarah. But you are very strong. I too loved Sarah. She always had a smile on her face and adorning three beautiful children. You were always there to help her. Those are the memories I will forever keep.

Helen & family, my heart is broken at the loss of Sarah. I can't even imagine how yours must be and I have no words to take away the pain. Although now it is difficult to do so, you must let God guide you through this terrible ordeal. Know that she is with Him & together they will watch over you & those precious children. And that one day you will be with her again.

Matt and family,
I am so sorry for this unjust tragedy that has been bestowed upon your family. For those of us who knew both Sarah and Eric it is hard to find words to express how we are feeling at this point. Sarah was always such an amazing, beautiful person, as well as a good friend to me. It's unfortunate that we all grew apart as our lives led us into different paths in the world. If anything at all, this horrible tragedy should teach us all to keep our friends and family close and never lose touch of the ones you love - no matter where life takes us. All of my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you all in this time of need.

Helen,
I know your heartache is unimaginable no one should ever have to endure the many things you have suffered this past year.
Sarah is a very precious & beautiful girl and now in the arms of JESUS.
I didn't get to know Sarah as a mother but I know the loving mother you were to her, so i know she certainly was also.
You are and will continue to be in my prayers.
Gail Day

I've struggled for the right words, then realized there really are none. The heartache I feel for those three babies, Sarah's mother, and the rest of her friends and family is just undescribable.
Know that the entire McDonald family, as well as her family of friends, are in the prayers of so many East Tennesseeas. May you all find a peace that passes all understanding.

We have very warm memories of Sarah. She worked for us at Ham n Goodys at the downtown location. Always cheerful, she was tender, kindhearted and willing to learn. Her presence was always a blessing. We didnt know her nearly long enough. WE pray God will continually make HIS presence and HIS love evident to the survivors and especially the children. Sarah, you will be missed by all who knew you! We look forward to the day when God calls us all to that Great Reunion without end. Until Then, God, Help US all! With Love and prayers.... we are standing in the gap for your family in prayer! HOW OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN Towards you, and those little babies! Psalm8:2. Listen, you who read this, to what God may be speaking to your hearts through this, it hits close to home. Allow HIM to speak to your heart. "What Satan meant for harm, God WILL turn it to good, & Get the Glory!" In Jesus' Mighty Name. With all our love, Steve & Terri Shoemaker..... what a sweet sweet Spirit, that girl had! Just remember, there are people praying all over the place lifting you up daily from Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, all over Tennessee & many more states to hold your arms up during this time! WE will not give the enemy Any rights to get glory out of this, but that God in His Greatness will pour out to you Maw Helen, & each one of those children, intimately & Sovereignly, and to ALL her loving family & friends His comfort.
"WE fight not against flesh & blood but against the principalities of darkness that want to rule over our lives..... fight the good fight of faith in your closet and allow the Lord to speak to your heart. WE are so deeply sorry!HUMBLY & Purely we write.

Helen,
I am in shock to hear about your beautiful daughter. I, too, have lost an adult child and understand that your heart has been ripped apart. But know that God will see you through this although now I'm sure it seems impossible to you. I think about you often and the wonderful times we had as children. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear McDonald Family-
I too remember Sarah as the most beautiful little girl in church every Sunday. I have not seen her or you in 25 years,but you all have a special place in my heart. You knew me as Sue Rippel and my son Benjamin. We have united in prayer with our family to prayer for you during this hard time. God is there to comfort you and He will as Jesus Christ took all our pain. I pray for God's special healing touch and love to surround your family! You are greatly loved and wonderful people.

To the family of Sarah Belle. Sarah was one of the sweetest people anyone could ever meet. Her precious smile said it all. Now we got to be strong and pray for these three precious children that she has left on earth. We know she will be looking down on them and watching over them and continue to be a mother in heaven. I know right now it is hard to speak on this tragedy, but Sarah would want us to be strong for her family. If they are anything you guys need please give us a call. Jim and Tiffany Hatcher.

Dear McDonald family,
My husband and I were one of the first Happy Tails customers when the business first opened in the Gettysview Shopping Center. We did not have children and she always referred to our dog Holly as our baby. Holly loved to get groomed at Happy Tails!
We remember Sarah wanted to be a mom and she told Pat one time they were "moving right along" having more babies. We followed them as a customer to the Ebenezer location and we saw Sarah less. We imagine she had much to do raising those beautiful babies so we understood her absence. When we did see her she was always friendly and loved to talk about those babies of hers. She was a warm, kind person to us and we'll remember that about her, too.
We are deeply saddened about the children losing both parents and we cannot fathom what your family must be going through at this time.
With deepest sympathy,
Pat Abbarno and Matthew Kelleher

The gym will not be the same without Sarah coming in with her radiant smile. She always had words of encouragement and God's love in her heart. She will live on in the beautiful faces of Makenzie, Jackson, and Macartney. She will never be forgotten and we will miss her always. I am blessed to have known her and pray for the peace of God to comfort your family.

I knew Sarah from Happy Tails. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Sarah always had a bright, beautiful smile on her face and one of her babies in her arms almost every time I saw her. She had a kind heart and an amazing spirit that shined threw her eyes.....My thoughts and prayers are with the Mcdonald family during this terribly difficult time. I know Sarah will be watching over each of you from her place in heaven. God bless you!

I was a classmate of Sarah's that reconnected with her via facebook. I always enjoyed seeing pictures of her beautiful children and recieving sweet comments from her. Through facebook I not only knew that she was a loving mom, I also knew that she was my sister-in-Christ. I have been and will continue to pray earnestly for your entire family.

Like many of the entries I am at a loss for words which is very unusual in my line of work. I met Sarah after taking my dog Packer to Happy Tails. Sarah could make an iceberg melt with her smile and personality. We became friends and you could tell how much she loved her children. To Sarah's family, I am so sorry for your loss. To Sarah's children, you are so blessed to have had a mother who loved you more than anything on Earth, and always know that she is there with you every waking moment forever.

June 5, 2009
I did not know your beautiful daughter but of course am aware of the events of her tragedy. I am a father of two wonderful children as well and I cannot begin to imagine your pain. My wife and I have talked over the past few days of this needless event as has most Knoxvillians I assume. There is no condolence to heal such agony and no actions to take the pain from inside of you. But God knows we are praying not only every day but many times through out the day for you, Helen , and the innocent little ones left behind. My heart aches for you AND them. Lord hurry with your healing touch. God bless you, Maw. Love, Dewayne and Sheri Smith.
June 5, 2009
Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing Sarah, I have been broken hearted by the news of this tragedy and I am so very sorry for your loss.
I, like so many others, have been praying and will continue to pray for her precious babies and for the rest of her beloved family and friends.
May God give you strength and comfort now and always.

Though I can't wrap my mind around what has happened to this precious family, I know for certain that you are kneeling at the feet of Jesus. That is what gives us peace, and the legacy that you leave for your children. They knew that you called upon Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
I pray tomorrow that God will give me strength to sing at your funeral for His Glory. I know that you will be singing along with me, but you will worship at the The Throne.
You will be missed by all, Sarah.
Thank you for always offering a smile, great conversation, and a sweet word about Henry.
I pray now that your family will be blessed. May the legacy that your children, family, and friends cling to be that of their Mama's faith. John 3:16.

We are so sorry for the loss of Sarah. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers goes out to her precious 3 children and her family and friends.
A butterfly lights beside us
like a sunbeam,
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world,
But then it flies again
and though we wish it could
have stayed,
We feel blessed and lucky to have
seen it.
Come to ME, all who are weary and heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.

I have sat here for about twenty plus minutes staring at this guest book not knowing what to even say.
The one thing I do know is that Sarah was one of the most incredible mothers of any friend I have encountered. Sarah was an amazing, sweet, sincere, and honest woman. My wife and I have talked about all the sweet memories we have with her and the children. I am honored to have known her, and will forever cherish those precious memories.
Matt, Anna, and Helen, please know that we are praying everyday for you to find strength and peace. I know that it is hard to find some sort of vitality through words, but know one thing. You are loved!
A hug hello....a hug goodbye
She wouldn't miss you walking by
She loved to laugh
With her big bright smile
She loved to talk
And tell stories for awhile
Now don't you wonder why
Not only can she walk,
But she can fly
God prepared a place
For her all along
In heaven with Jesus
Where precious ones belong
Sarah loved life, and she also loved you
She lived her life, and made ours better too

To the family: I met Sarah through my friend, Nikki. I had tanned at her tanning salon getting ready for my wedding back in 2003. My husband was also close to her dad, Tommy. They worked at Lowe's together and he had done some photos of my husband after a bodybuilding show. My heart is absolutely broken for your family. I'm praying for God's grace and mercy at a time when your heart is the heaviest. I pray that he can bring you joy through the memories of your beautiful Sarah and comfort knowing that she is in God's kingdom now shining down on you. I am praying hard for her children as well. That God will wrap his loving arms around them and shelter them from any harm or long lasting effects from all they have endured all ready.

Sarah will always be remembered and her beauty will live on through her three precious children, God bless them and the family.

She was an amazing mother! We can not fathom what her family must be going through. We do know that she is resting in Jesus's arms now and is no longer feeling the pain and suffering that she was living with. We are in constant prayer for her mother, her beautiful children and her brother, Matt. Our love and prayers, Barry and Kathy Evans
