My deepest sympathy to Sara's entire family. As a neighbor and a friend to Sara growing up, I will always remember her smile and friendship. Even after years had passed and we reunited, it felt as if the gap in time was filled. I was out of town when I heard the news, and wanted you to know you were all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Sara's Family:

We are so sorry for your loss. I met Sara through Matt Vernon. My husband Rick has been friends with Matt for many years. We have many memories of Sara. She introduced me to Natasha (Ursula) Letic Yuhasz, and for that I will be forever grateful. I am thankful that Sara was part of our lives.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Cimbala and family,



My name is Lisa Belegal(Zielinski). I wanted to express how very sorry I am to hear of Sara's passing. I became friends with Sara through my sister Pam. Pam and Sara were great friends. My husband, Phil, was also friends with Sara. I actually met him for the first time at Sara's house for dinner. Sara was a beautiful girl with a soft smile and wonderful personality. I feel very honored to have known her for as long as I did. She was a loving and good friend to my sister, husband and myself. I will miss her terribly. You and Sara will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Jackee Davis (Dillard)
