To the entire Boags family, my deepest condolences. I knew Sarah since our young days in Horace Mann, what a loss to the people who knew her because what a beautiful person inside and out she was. Rest in peace my old friend, your memory will live on with us until we meet again one day. To Lisa, Martin, and your parents Sarah had the biggest heart and showed nothing but kindness to the people she touched, I am very sorry that we have lost a beautiful soul to a terrible disease, but remember that she suffers no more.

My sincere condolences to the family. At Psalm 56:8 David pleaded to God: "Do put my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not in your book? Like David I know that God is aware of your pain and what you are going through emotionally. He will give you what you need to live each day without Sarah

I am so sorry for your loss and the loss to the world. If there is anything I can hope for is that Sarah and my little sister have met, and Laura now has someone to laugh and live on with. We may have lost a wonderful part of our families, but they are not lost, they are always in our hearts. My sincerest sympathy.
