My heart broke today when I took my son for his doctors appointment and found out about the loss of Sara. I am deeply sorry to her family and will be praying for all of you. We will miss seeing her smiling face every time we step into that office. We were fortunate to have known her for over 7 years and I cannot express the sorrow in our hearts for your beautiful loved one.

Sara was an amazing woman to all who she touched in her life...and an even more amazing mother to the children who fulfilled her life. I never thought I would be doing what I am right now...saying goodbye to a friend I have known since childhood. Sara, thank you for being a truly remarkable person, and I am grateful to have known you.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and children of Sara Porter. I never had the opportunity to know her personally, but if children are a reflection of their parents I know she was a beautiful and loving person. Alexus helps with my daughters tumbling class on occasion and she is such a bright and beautiful young lady. I was deeply saddened at her and her siblings loss. My family and Church will continue to keep this family in our prayers!

Mary & Joe,
My heart aches for you and your family during this tragic time in your lives. I see "little" Sara in my memory when I think about the time I visited your home on Beverly Drive to see about buying it. What a smiling, happy girl she was. She still has her handprint mark on the driveway there. I'll keep you all in my prayers and ask God to bring you comfort and strength for the difficult days ahead.

Sara J...
There are just no words left to be said that have not already been spoken about what a genuinely wonderful person you were. Your love for everyone and everything around you was always so apparent. You were my cousin, my friend, my confidant, and I always aspired to be more like you in every way. My heart breaks and my body mourns, but my soul rejoices knowing that you are among the angels watching over all of us. Your children will forever know what a wonderful person you were and how fortunate they were to have you in their lives. I will think of you often and miss you eternally. This is not goodbye, Sara, but only "See you later...". I love you with all of my heart, dear friend.
