I was so honored to have her as my friend. She was a very special lady. Such a strong person and handled her illness like a champ. Every time I thought the world was being to hard on me I would see a post or a pic from her and realize just how blessed I am. I miss you dearly. Rest easy in the arms of Jesus where you belong happy and free of pain and completely whole. Watch over us and especially George. He loved you so very much. I can see you playing with your sweet baby girl. !! Makes my heart happy. Love you my dear friend

I remember the first time I met Sara. I was her care-worker and she was the first child I was to take care of. She made me feel very much at ease as did her mother, friends for life. I was impressed by Sara's spunk, determination and constant smiles. Sweet Sara, you planted a lot of seeds for God, I pray that those seeds take root and grow. Your job is done here and now you are face to face with God. What a wonderful place to be. Enjoy your new home!

I am sorry for the loss of sara, I knew her briefly on senior high, and she was bright and full of bubbly expressions. She had a contagious smile. I am glad to have known her for the short time and I want to send my well wishes for her brother Seth and her family.
