Sarah, I think of you all the time and miss you very much. I learned a lot about parenting from watching you with Leah and Christian. Mia still eats olives seven years after you first introduced her to them when she was a toddler. Thanks so much for being my friend.

Diane, My thoughts are with you, your family and the children. I never got to meet Sarah but I know she was raised by wonderful parents, so she was a wonderful person. It is such a terrible thing that should never have happened. If you need anything let me know.

Sarah...you were my best friend and I loved you so much. I don't think I will ever be the same without you. I hope you will forgive me for any wrongs I may have done and you will always be in my thoughts and heart. We had a unique relationship, it required no validation and no explanation...we understood each other perfectly. I love you always, your memory will live on in the lives of your children. Be at peace....

I graduated from SAHS with Sarah. She was so beautiful,smart,kind and always smiling. She was a woman with many talents. This saddened me to hear of her sudden passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, many friends and most of all, her children. No children should have to lose their mother so tragically and so young. She was truly an extrodinary person with such a bright future ahead of her. Life is not fair and we will never know why God takes the good so soon. Heaven gained a wonderful Angel as many ppl grieve the loss of her. May your soul rest now knowing you are a protecting Angel now to your beloved children. May they feel your guiding presence around them through the wind in their hair or the sun shining on them or a butterfly flying close..Until we meet again Sarah..you will never be forgotten.

I considered Sarah a good friend back in High School. The last time I saw her was at RFGH when she was taking care of my wife and baby boy three years ago. She was such a smart, whitty and enjoyable person to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to her children and her family. The world won't be the same without her.

Sarah, I still can't believe you're gone. There are few people who are as funny, smart, caring and grounded as you. I'm glad I gave you the cheesy John Tesh T-shirt when I still had the chance. We had a lot of laughs about that and a million other things. Thanks for being a wonderful person and friend. I'll tell Leah and Christian some of my favorite memories someday.

Sarah and I graduated together, all though I never had the chance to really get to know her as well as some others here, I can see how she touched so many lives and know she will forever be thought of often and loved by so many. May all of gods strength be given to her loved ones at this time to help heal, one day at a time. My prayers are with you all.

Sarah and I became fast friends while working on the same team at MBNA many years ago. My husband Dan and I both had the opportunity to know her at that time. Sarah and I spent many breaks and lunches sharing our histories with one another. She was carrying Leah for most of that time and I remember how excited she was to become a mom. Although we lost touch with one another, I never forgot her. Sarah was sweet, outgoing, personable and so very likeable. Our hearts go out to her grieving family, especially her children.
