My Deepest sympathy to Sarah's family. I met her at Rite-Aid when I was picking up prescriptions after my surgury for cancer. We talked many times and her smile and positive outlook was the greatest support to me. I will keep her in my heart and pass on the support and strength she showed me to others as tribute to this wonderful lady.

Patrick & family,
My heart goes out to all of you during such a tragic family event. Although I was never blessed with the opportunity to meet Sarah, I am fortunate to know Patrick through work. So many of his collegues at Smith & Nephew were paralyzed by the news of Patrick's wife. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
