I am just now learning of Sarah's passing. We were close friends when she lived in Nashville. She was one of a kind and now and gave so much of herself to everyone who met her. My heart hurts to know I will never see you again on this side.

Sarah was a huge influence in my life in my early days of being a Christian and her legacy lives on. Thanks to her many of us learned what it meant to live the Christian life. What a special lady!

One of my happiest memories of Jefferson High School was being an undergraduate playing basketball with the seniors. You, Dawn and I may have been short, but we were a winning team. God bless you Dear Soul.

Sarah was one of the most influential women in my life as a Y-Teen and as part of the Damascus Inn. She shared with me her love, her faith and her teachings to lead me in a positive direction as a young adult. I will hear her lovely voice singing in my heart forever.

It was with sadness that we read of Sarah's death in the newspaper. Please know that all of you are being thought about today and held up in prayer.

To my Creative and Fun Aunt Sarah,
Spending time with you was always a joy; from camping in the mountains and hiking up and down them, to sleeping in the waterbed in the log cabin you lived in when I was a kid, to riding in the convertible with the top down looking cool and pretending we were British, to singing songs of worship at the Coffeehouse to Christ, then later touring Nashville and seeing and meeting a few "Stars", our times together were always exciting. Thank you for sharing your spunky personality with us and showing us how to live in the moment! You are gone but will never be forgotten. We love you! Until we meet again in heaven, Love Always! Pam, Jacob and Paul

Thank you for the many great years of service and allowing me a long for the journey and for the difference you made not only in mine and Julies life but thousands of others throughout your years in serving Christ. You will be greatly missed but we know you are with God now and Charlie now and we will look forward to seeing you again one day in glory. We love and miss you but will carry many great and joyful memories to keep you alive in our hearts till that day. Amen
