I send my prayers and condolences to the family of Sara Narvaez. Always remember that the longest trip and the most ultimate journey is from our minds to our hearts. When you have accomplished that, you have accomplished only half of the accomplishments of Mrs. Sara Narvaez. Meaning that she has done so much for me and my family. May she rest in peace and I know that she is with Mr. Narvaez now. I love you all and wish I was there.

Know that my heart is heavy for your great loss. Comfort yourself in knowing that you have had the most exceptional Mom. In all my pain of raising my children, your Mom and Dad have always been there for me. Your faith in our God will hold you tight. Console yourselves in knowing how close your Mom is embrased by your Dad. I pray that will help you during your sorrow. Loving you, Iris

A part of my childhood has now moved on and I just wanted to say thank you for all of the great memories you have given me. I remember youth classes and explaining the bible in a way that made me understand it even better today. I have never been able to find a church that I loved as much as yours. Thank you for extending your hand and being another family for us to turn to as children for support, advice and that extra bit of morals to get us through our lives. I truly appreciate everything you ever did for our family. May god be with you in these hard times. I know that your new Angel will help you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you and miss you always.

I wish that I could be with you at this time. It's because of Sara that I am still following the Christian faith today. I can't thank you enough for all of the memories-church bus every Sunday, bilingual services and all of your songs I still sing today. I feel a great loss and I am sending a hug and a kiss to each and every one of you. My prayers are with you today and always.



Love Tara and Jaida (3 yr old daughter)

I will miss you dearly! You and your children have always and will continue to be the reason I have faith today! You have raised me with all the Christian values that I long to teach my daughter. I will pray for you all (Kenny, Judy, Steven, Janine, Rebecca and David) Hugs and Kisses to you all! Love, Kimmy

She was one of the sweetest persons I ever met. While growing up I looked up to her as she was so calm and good natured. Judy, Kenny, Stephen, I feel your loss. May God bless you and give you the strength to accept her passing into the other realm. We will all meet there someday.
