Dear Sarah, on this Easter Sunday I believe you are in heaven with Our Risen Lord in all of His Glory, and singing How Great Thou Art with His Choir of Angels. You are one of their newest members. You were such a good person while here on earth, that I will be praying to you, and not just for you. You earned your place with the Lord. May God bless you and your family, always. I am looking forward to celebrating your life with your family and friends this Tuesday at Villanova University.

To All the Curtin's
Denny and I are so sorry for this tremendous loss for all of you. I will always remember Sarah taking me to Belmont Barracks and insisting that I would take my driving test in her father's yellow Cadillac, in a snowstorm. Nothing would stop her! Chains had to be put on the car and I passed! I'll never know if this was due to my ability or the sympathy of the police seeing us fighting the odds! Sarah was always a fighter and that is the greatest legacy she has left us all.
You will all be in our prayers.
Love, Judy and Denny Cassidy

To All Of the Curtin's,
Kristin and I are so sorry for your loss of your amazing mother! The memories I have of her from helping out with all of the crew races, to checking out homes with her keen eye, to rolling her eyes at all of the stupid things the crew boys would do will always be with me. She was an unselfish woman who always put her kids first. She will be missed but always remembered.

Dear Curtin family,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your families. I'll always remember your Mom cruising around in her HUGE wood panelled station wagon. And her faithful support of our rowing program, cheering us on from the shore. I am honored to attend her services on April 6th and look forward to seeing you there. Lots of love.

John and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a very special lady. I will always remember the kindness she showed me, and our extended “crew” family over the years.

Listening to her cheering us on at all those races throughout college is something I will take with me forever.

I offer my deepest sympathy to Sarah's family and friends on the loss of the great love of their life and this great woman. Sarah lived life to the fullest, and was a very accomplished woman from her youth until the end. She inspired many others to excell beyond their normal abilities. Sarah's leadership and compassion are hallmarks of her legacy. Sarah will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. Sarah suffered more than anyone should; but now she will suffer no more. Sarah has earned eternal life with Our Lord and the Saints. May God bless Sarah and her loving and devoted family. My prayers are with all of you, always.

May God and the Angels watch over your soul,untill the end of time.
