I knew Sara since middle school and we had so many good times together. She loved my first car which was an old Gold Buick Skylark at the time and we would joke about how when I get rid of it she was going to buy it. She was so beautiful. One day many years after we lost touch, I heard the bad news. It was so heartbreaking. I think about her every year around Christmas since hearing about the timing of her death around Christmas. She was a unique girl, and she used to make scrap books of all of our friends and take pictures of us and write funny things so she could remember the memories forever. Ill remember her during the good times like going for a car drive and seeing her smiling with the wind blowing in her hair. She was a free spirit. A beautiful Rose

Dear Mary and Family,

The depth of pain we now feel will be surpassed by the joy we will all have when we are reunited in the Father's presence! We forget our time here on earth is so short, but then we are reminded in the death of someone so young. We are blessed to have had Sara in our family and we honor her by being the love of Christ here on earth.
We ask God's comfort and strength for you til we meet again. Love Always,

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 lucky to have seen it.

Sara was my friend and my employees niece and she was special. Peter and his children loved and appreciated her special talents. I know he and his family Courtnie ,Chris and Matthew are going to miss her. We spent Christmas driving around looking at lights at USF and sharing in the beauty that believers display to celebrate the love and beauty of Christ's birth, Let us celebrate that day in honor of Jesus Birth and Sara's reunification withe the father. God bless Peters family and the Mary Tran family.

I met Sara once in 2005 . I was engaged and then married her uncle. She and her Mom an Dad were wonderful people. I wish I could have known her better and i am praying for her family. The family was wonderful to me an I pray for them and wish the best for Mary Lock, Anne Julie Matuch and Peter. God makes these decisiions and He knows what is best. God Bless the Trans and the Matuch family as they realize Gods plan. We may hate the situation , but only God decides who goes home and when.

Sara was loved by many. She was blessed with beauty and great intellect and we loved her for that. I was lucky enough to know her from a child to her becoming an adult and parent. I was blessed to know her as an uncle and see her become a woman. My own children were fortunate to live near her and know her and will miss her till we all meet again. I am glad to have known her and watched her grow up. I am happy to know her little boy Jayden Andrew and look forward to watching him grow into the man Sara and all of us will be proud of. I will miss Sara but am greatfull i got to know her and she was able to be part of mine and my children's lives. May God bless her and watch over Her Mother and Jayden's lives. Sara was very talented and artistic like her mother and I am sure her son will be just as gifted. She is at peace and with Our Father God. We thank Him for the privilege to have had her here with us for the time we have.

DEAR FAMILY,
SARA SHORT TIME ON EARTH SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED BY TIME BUT WHAT SHE DID TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLES LIVES CHANGE. SARA GAVE HER MOTHER A DAUGHTER TO LOVE, A BROTHER A SISTER TO LOVE, AUNTS UNCLES, FRIENDS AND STRANGERS SOMEONE TO LOVE, LAUGH AND CRY WITH. SARA GAVE US JAYDEN ANDREW SO WE COULD LOOK IN HIS EYES AND SEE SARA. A LIFE WELL LIVED IS NOT ABOUT TIME HERE ON EARTH BUT ABOUT THE WAY WE THREW OUR LIVES TOUCH AND CHANGE AND HELP OTHERS. SARA DID THIS.
LOVE,
UNCLE ANDY

I do not know her or your family, but I was deeply moved by the words in the SP Times. They were written in horrific pain, but with great love. A good friend's equally wonderful daughter passed recently in a stupid traffic accident. God tests our faith, but yours seems strong. I wish I could say I could muster such grace if my own daughter were to pass just a few years older. I'm sad you are tested so hard, but you should publish your grace in the editorial page, just for reminder, to tell us all how quickly we could lose what is most precious to us. I'll she'd tears for your child, but I have faith that her's will be raised with love. God bless.
