Dear Whitlock Family,

I did not know Sara or your family, but being a relative of a murder victim I know the grief that you are currently feeling. From what I have read Sara seemed like a wonderful caring young lady, full of life and happiness, she was on her way to help others in her chosen nursing field. Please lean on family and friends during this diffucult time and know that they and many strangers are thinking and praying for you. Good Bless

Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock and Craig,

I am so sorry for your loss, your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I was one of the many people who were lucky enough to have been touched by Sarah. I was a year behind Sarah at Providence and shared quite a few classes with her. One of my favorite times was during my sophomore year (Sarah's Jr. year) when we were taking A.P. art together. Sarah's talent was amazing and she was such a tremendous inspiration to me. Sarah was so genuine and sincere- I am so blessed to have been able to have shared time with her!

Thank you for raising and sharing such a beautiful person with us!

Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Haight

We did not personally know Sarah,but know Bill and Ruby and can only imagine the pain and grief you are all suffering. May God grant strength to you and help you now to witness to others of His saving grace. God bless and keep you all. Some day we will know why, but for now it must remain a mystery

I feel so fortunate to have been Sarah's partner since the beginning of nursing school. She had a tremendous influence on my life this year as I spent more time with her than any other single person. She was an inspiration to me and will live on in my heart. When I feel discouraged, I think of how Sarah would keep a positive outlook on any situation and it helps me move on. I feel a great void now, but I know I will see her again some day. And to Sarah's family I say thank you for I know she could not have been the tremendous woman she was without your love and support throughout her life.

I was a neighbor of the Whitlocks a few years ago and they were one of the nicest families I have ever met. They were such a postive witness to me and my boyfriend (now husband) of how a family should treat each other and live. I am so sorry to hear about Sarah, I can't imagine the pain everyone must be feeling. My prayers are with you.

To the family of Sarah Whitlock.

Our family took a seat at the table of grief just over 10 years ago and while I have never read about a tragedy and felt compelled to reach out before now, I find the similarities in our circumstances compell me to reach out to you.

When our loved one was murdered, there was one person who comforted me like no other, she too had sat at this table. It is not a place we choose, it is forced upon us. What we can choose is how we will respond. Our grief is very unique in many ways. It is evident your Sarah was a beautiful and loved young lady. Everyone who had the joy of knowing or meeting her is better because of that encounter.

I can't find the words to even express how sad I am about your lost. I never even came in contact with her, but once I saw her face I said how beautiful is she.. all though I never knew her I know she was a beautiful person within. May the family know that so many people are thinking of them and praying for them each and everyday.

I do not know your family, but as a citizen of the Jacksonville Beaches I wanted to let you know that your family is in our prayers. May you find comfort in knowing that for the short time your daugher, sister, and friend was here on this earth, she impacted so many others lives. In life and death she is leaving her inspiration for those she knew and those she never met. I will pray for comfort for your family and keep you in my thoughts daily. May God be with you.

My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. I will always treasure my Providence memories: getting to teach Craig, and to be one of Sarah's administrators.

I did not know your "Sara", but she sounds like a really wonderful person from all that I have read. However, I am an Aunt to 14-year-old David Durden, who was killed by a hit and run driver on 3-02-06. This tragedy has been just awful for our family, so I really do know what you all are going through. He was an awsome little man, and hopefully, the two of them will meet up. So sad to have lost two such beautiful people. When you see a penny lying on the ground, pick it up, as someone told me long ago that our "Angels" were tossing them down to us to let us know that they are watching over us.

To the family of Sarah Whitlock, my heart goes out to you and prayers. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah two to three times at the Solantic Clinic and she was always nice, professional, and extremely helpful. The last time, I visited Solantic Clinic, she told me it was ok for me to leave my two kids up front with her. Sarah entertained them the hold time, that they still ask about that lady at the Solantic Clinic who is so much fun, when we pass by. Thanks for having such a wonderful daughter who had an impact on those around her.

March 19, 2006

I understand that Sarah was a parishoner at St. Paul's Catholic Church and that she went through R.C.I.A. three years ago. Father Sullivan spoke of her at Mass this morning and said he is so saddened by this tragedy. While I didn't know her personally, I am so deeply saddened as well to have lost a beautiful member of our church family. May you find peace in God's love as I know that Sarah has. God bless you.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah at Semolina's. I'll never forget her warm smile, sweet spirit and adorable personality. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

To The Whitlock Family,

I am certain that Sarah had to come from a very special family. As Sarah's classmate in the nursing program at FCCJ. I recognized Sarah as being a unique, beautiful, and caring person from the first day of Term I. She said she was a vegetarian, but she didn't have to say that she was a Christian because her actions spoke louder than words. Her death deeply saddens me because society has lost a great person who would help anyone. Sarah asked me about my kids everyday. Sarah put other people first. Not many people can live up to Sarah's example. But, she gave me the inspiration to try harder and believe in the impossible. I will miss Sarah's smile, personality, and love for everyone. But, I know God welcomed her with open arms.

March 19, 2006

I did not know Sarah, but live in the Riverside community and also have a daughter that lives in the community. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock and those who knew and loved Sarah. This community is overwhelmed and feels so much love for Sarah. May God bless and comfort you and try to trust in Him with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.

Pamela Longo

Sarah and I were in Nursing School together and clinicals as well. Although I only knew her for a short time, like many others, she touched my life. She was always so sweet and postive. I will never forget Sarah. She will be deeply missed.

Dearest Whitlock Family,

I had never met your daughter Sarah. Gary was my physical therapist following knee surgery a few years ago. I was brokenhearted to hear of your loss. From all I have read about your precious daughter, she was given many of your gifts including those of kindness and compassion and God used her to touch people you may never know of. I pray for God's grace and strength in the coming days and weeks and believe He will be faithful to meet you at every moment.

Michael Gray

Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock & Craig,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Sarah has been a friend of mine since 10th grade. She could light up a room wtih her smile. Her laughter was contageous. She always made my day brighter. My prayers are with you each day. I believe that her memory lives on in each of us. Each of us have a little piece of Sarah because she touched our lives in so many different ways. She is with the Lord now waiting for us to join her one day.

Whitlock Family,

Although I don't know you and did not know Sarah, after reading her story in the paper this morning I wanted to reach out to you and express my heartfelt sympathy. There is so little anyone can say or do to help you at this tough time but your description of your daughter reminded me of my own teenage daughter in so many ways. So, in Sarah's honor I will spend a little more time, be a little more patient and savor ever moment with both my children knowing that life is precious and can be gone in one unexplicable moment. With love and prayers to you all.

Wow. You always hear about bad things happening throughout the world, but it never means that much until it actually involves someone you know. I was a student at Providence and shared several classes with Sarah including Spanish. I distinctly remember helping her with some of her work, and she would help me in return. She was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. I can not phathom such a tragedy and can not believe this is true. My sincerest condolences go out to her family. May God be with you always Sarah.

MR&Mrs.Whitlock:

I didn't know Sarah or your family, but I want you to know that God has an Angel now! I can't even believe to think of the pain that you and your family going through. But just know that God has himself a beautiful Angel. She is now free,free to fly! Your family will always stay in my prayers. And remember she's an Angel, she has now recieved her wings... GOD BLESS

Sarah and I attended the same classes in the nursing program, but I did not know her very well. I know she would have been a wonderful nurse. I am in awe of the positive impact she has made in so many people. I can only hope one day to do the same. My prayers are for all of you who are affected by this tragedy.

Shirley Thomas

March 17, 2006

Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock,

I did not know Sarah nor do I know you. However, I am a parent and my heart just breaks for you. I wish that I could find the words to express the empathy I feel. If somehow I could take the pain away I would. You and your family remain in the prayers of my family throughout this tragedy. God bless you.

I only knew Sarah for a few days. She was the first face I saw when I went of interview for an extership at Solantic. She seemed like a very patient person, sweet, and willing to help everyone who came into her presence. When I started the externship I remember her being very direct and helpful at the same time instead of saying "do you feel confortable doing this" she would say "just do it". That directness resulted in me learning a great deal from her. Even though I didn't know her for very long she left a lasting impression on me. To Sarah's family you are all in my prayers God Bless.

Elizabeth Dickson

March 16, 2006

I did not know Sarah personally, but as a first term FCCJ nursing student she is family to me, because we are always there for each other. I got a phone call saying a nursing student had been taken from us, and as I saw her picture on the news in her nursing uniform, I thought of my own picture I took in my white scrubs, and how excited I was the day I received them. I thought of what a special person she must be to have chosen nursing as her career. And I thought of how tragic this is for Sarah to be taken away so soon. This Wednesday during testing I couldn't help thinking that she had been studying for the very same tests, and she should have been sitting in a desk just like the rest of us filling out her Scantron.

I know that Sarah will be remembered by the Spring graduating class of 2007. When we graduate, I know that Sarah will be there in spirit watching us all. My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Shekella Blanden

March 16, 2006

Everything that has been said about Sarah is SO TRUE. I had the pleasure of working with Sarah at Solantic. I would always ask about Sarah if I spoke to someone that knew her. She recently helped me get through the hassle of writing a research paper. Sarah presented me with a drawing of an ANGEL with her signature on it just over a year ago, this will always be my greatest TREASURE. She is the reason I am attending school at this time. Sarah was a very helpful and positive person, nevering complaining about catching the bus back and forth from work to school daily because she knew THE LORD WOULD MAKE A WAY SOMEHOW!!!! I remember when she would bring me readings from the daily bread after a stressful day at work. You are truly missed!!

Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock,

I went to Providence and graduated with Sarah. I just moved back to Jax last week. I am saddened by this incidence and the fact such a GREAT person's life was shortened. It upsets me that I did not talk or stay in contact the 5-6 years I have been away at school. Although we never hung out outside of school, we talked every morning in homeroom and in the classes we had together. Sarah put motivation and inspiration into every day I had at Providence. Sarah made me laugh and cared about everyone she was involved with. Sarah is with our Lord and Savior. She will be missed and kept in everyones prayers!!!

Jennifer Snyder

I worked with Sara at Solantic and she was always so willing to help others. I did not know her that well, but when I saw her she was always smiling. She was a very smart girl and could do just about anything she put her mind to. She will be dearly missed and I will pray for her family to receive closure and peace. God Bless You Always Sharon

March 16, 2006

I am so sorry about Sarah's tragic death. She was one of my closest friends, and I loved her dearly. We bumbed into eachother a month ago on the beach in Ponte Vedra, and thought it was God bringing us together again. I hadn't seen Sarah in about a year, and was so happy to find out she had found peace in the world and with God. I'm so happy to know that her ashes are being spread in the ocean where I know her soul will reside with God for eternity. I can picture her smiling down from heaven, with Kalia and her mom by her side. Sarah enriched my life through her friendship, passion for surfing and the ocean, and unique spirituality. She was a wonderful young woman and I will cherish her life forever. My deepest apology to her family, may God help you find comfort in knowing Sarah is in heaven.

Sincerely,

Rawson Glover

March 16, 2006

Whoa. This is so sereal. She trained me at the job I am in now. Her notes are everywhere for me; her handwritting is everywhere. I wish people could understand, that you just can't describe her with words. She is the type of person that people would privately admire and root for, because she deserved whole heartedly everything she worked so hard for... Watch her live her dreams when others couldn't. I was excited to hear of what she was going to do with her life. Like when she finally would get to Costa Rica, we'de get an update on who she helped and how she helped them. Her laugh was infecteous. Her heart was unreal.

I will miss the phonecalls where she would ask me the spanish translations of some words she couldn't remember. The very last word she asked me about was Thursday, March 9th. She asked me how to say 'thankful'- 'agradecida'. It keeps on repeating in my head. Just that simple thing can describe how she was, that would explain it. and yes Sarah........... we are all sooooo 'THANKFUL' TO HAVE MET YOU. Hope to see you in heaven.

God bless you guys in this time. I pray for peace in knowing that Sarita is in a better place than we could ever imagine.

Nancie Murphy

March 16, 2006

I am so sorry to hear about Sarah. I knew her through my son, Jonathan. She worked with him in St. Augustine. I will remember her great smile, and the kindness that she showed to all her friends. She will be greatly missed.

Sarah touched my life so much while I was the Childrens Director at the Mission. I met her the day she entered the Mission and from the very first day she made an impact on my life. Sarah touched so many lives and as parents you can be so proud of her life. Even in bad choices Sarah turned them into outlets to serve and save others. I am proud to have known this wonderful young woman. She will be missed here but the angels are rejoicing with her in heaven. Sarah knew Jesus up close and personal and I know that I will see her again. Annette

I don't even know were to start to say how sorry I am for what happened. I just can't imagine what you are going through. Sarah wasn't in my class but I ran into her a couple of times and I could tell she was a very sweet person. We will remember her thoughout our nursing experience and know she is somewhere better than here.

Rick Wallis

March 15, 2006

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock, and the Whitlock family:

I am so sorry for your loss. Sarah was a student of mine at Providence. She was a gifted and committed young lady, and was loved and appreciated by many at her school. May God's peace and hope be yours during this difficult time.

Teri Blake

March 15, 2006

I only knew Sarah for a brief time when she and my daughter, Jamie Blake attended Providence together in the 10th grade. Sarah and Jamie shared a friendship throughout the school year and I was able to share in getting to know Sarah. She was a precious, sweet individual and she and Jamie provided different lifestyles and interests to one another. Jamie being the perky cheerleader and Sarah being the cool, surfer! They were both very proud of the individual personalities that each had, however, loved bringing something new to the other.

I heard about Sarah's death while watching the news and was shocked and angry that someone so sweet and alive could be taken away so quickly. It did not surprise me that Sarah was living on her own, working and going to school. Although I never had the pleasure to meet her parents, I remember noticing that Sarah's upbringing taught her to be self sufficient and she obviously was living how she was taught. Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock, you should be proud of instilling those values in Sarah. My heart reaches out to you and your extended family and friends and my prayers are with you as you go through these days. The pain of losing Sarah will never go away, however, you will always have the cherished memories of her life with you and that is something that no one can ever take from you.

She is with the Angels now and I wouldn't be surprised if she was passing out flip flops for all the Angels to wear and checking to see if there is a wave to ride.

Sarah is and always will be a beautiful, sweet, young woman. May God grant you the comfort that you need now and always.

Kim Moricette

March 15, 2006

Sarah was a very optimistic person. I am one of her classmates in the nursing program. Sarah gave me encouragement when I felt as if the hard work the nursing program required was weighing me down. She always found the right thing to say to make me think "You know it's not that bad, I can do this". It was a blessing to meet her. Meeting someone with Sarah's energy, determination, kindness, and positive attitude towards life comes once in a lifetime. Sarah will truly be missed....I will NEVER forget her. Her encouraging words will stay with me forever. Rest in peace Sarah.

Jamie Blake

March 15, 2006

I attended Providence during mine and Sarah's 10th grade year. Sarah was one of the first people I clicked with and we stayed friends for that year and when I moved down to St. Augustine the next year, we tried to keep in touch but eventually drifted apart. Though it was a brief friendship, it was one that I have always remembered. Sarah was such a fun likeable person with such a caring heart. I send my deepest condolences to her family and friends and you will all remain in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes we don't realize how easily life can be taken from us and that's why we should cherish everyday. Though I have not spoken to Sarah in years, my memories of her are filled with laughter and fun and her absolutely amazing spirit. I think Sarah was the one that introduced me to the concept of wearing flip flops with any attire and to this day they are my favorite shoe of choice. Again I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to Sarah's family and all of the those who were blessed to know her.

Sarah was an inspiration to me. I was mesmerized by her devotion and passion for her chosen career of nursing since day one of class when she told us her plans of work in Costa Rica. An amazing person, one of a kind. I find no sense in this, but know that she will always live within her classmates as a gift to us, and her voice will always ring in our heads to keep going, straight ahead, and reach our goals. I promise you she will always be with us.

Melanie Sheppard

Dear Paula and Craig,

My heart is very heavy . . . and I will miss Sarah sooooo much. She truly did have a light that shined on all who knew her. I am honored to have seen her grow into the precious young lady that she had become. I can picture the smile . . . and the peaceful countenance. Please know that all of your friends in the evening yoga class are supporting you in

prayer and with much love. We are here for you in any way that you may need us to be.

Love,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock and Craig,

My deepest sympathies and love go out to you and all of your family. I was privileged to teach Sarah and I now am privileged to work with Craig. I remember Sara so vividly as a bright, intelligent, and sweet girl. Providence was blessed to have her as one of our graduates.

To all of Sarah's friends and family I send my love and sympathies. Sarah was a bright precious star and we will have to find a way to go on without her light in our lives. I will keep the memories of her laughter and goodness close to my heart forever.

Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock:

I met Sarah at Solantic, which I visted often, she was always a ray of sunshine when I walked through the door, very pleasant, very helpful and very informative. She made you feel welcomed and comfortable even when you felt bad. I know this is a hard time for you, but God needs Sarah now more than we do. She will forever be watching over you. May God give you comfort in your time of sorrow. Psalm 126:5, Psalm 50:15, I Peter 3:8-9

Sarah and I attended the same Yoga class once a week maybe twice if I was lucky. I hardly new her, but I never looked at her and didn’t see her smiling. Sarah was an inspiration to me. She was beautiful and graceful. Sarah radiated light and you could sense that there was something very special about her. My sincerest condolences go out to her family

Sarah was such a wonderful person. I only got to meet her through nursing school, and I feel that all of us that had our classes with her will come away being better people and nurses for having known her. She will be an inspiration for us all. Sarah we will miss you.

I worked with Sarah at Solantic for a while and gave her a ride home a couple of times, she was always full of life and conversation, eager to learn everything she could about anything, very intelligent and just a really great and fun to be around person she will truly be missed by all and I will always remember her bright smile.

Sarah was truly a ray of sunshine. She brighten the room everytime she entered. You do not come across many people like Sarah in your lifetime.So giving, caring,compassionate and full of life. She was one of my classmates in the Nursing program at FCCJ. She always saw the good side of everything and everyone. One of her last words to me was Deena failing is not an option with that serious look on her face that turned into the smile we all loved about her. My heart and prayers go to her family and friends.

To the Whitlock Family,

First let me say that my heartfelt sympathies go to you the family. I had the priviledge of being a part of Sarah's life at school and in the clinical area that was also part of our education. She would have made a great nurse because she was not only caring but was very studious and exact in how she prepared to take care of her patient. She was soft spoken and had a way with people that was soothing in itself. I will truly miss her and her gentleness that she has shown to her fellow classmates and anyone that she came in contact with. She will be missed beyond words. She is truly one of God's Angel's and is smiling on us now through our tears. Till we meet again Sarah.

Sarah worked with me for a short time in a Medical Clinic nearly three years ago while she was taking some special classes. In fact, I remember writing her a reference letter to Solantic to get her first job there. She was a dear sweet young woman - intelligent, friendly, and a very good worker. She had decided she wanted to go into nursing, and I was so pleased when she got her job and eventually got into nursing school. My heart goes out to her family. I, too, had an adult child with much promise die early in life. Sarah was a wonderful reflection on you (her parents & family). Please know you have friends you haven't met praying for you in this time of loss. May God be with you and comfort and carry you through to a time in the future when you'll again be able to smile and enjoy the sweet fragrance of the memories of her life. She made it "home" in the Lord's presence. God bless you.

Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock,

I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was best friends with Sarah from Bishop Kenny, but sadly we've since lost touch. My heart goes out to you and your family. Sarah was a wonderful,loving, and fun person. It breaks my heart to know that something so terrible can happen to someone so magnificent. I will always remember the fond memories that we shared. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Paula, Whit and Craig;

I am so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. My heart is truly breaking for each of you. Even though I never met Sarah, in the 11 years that I have worked with Paula, I feel as though I have had a birds-eye view into your world and your lives in the life that I shared with Paula. Paula has always been such an inspiration to all of us at Webster. Her ever constant compassion and warmth, along with her wonderful sense of humor, high ethics and morals are ideals that we aspire to. I have always been inspired by her undying faith in God, and hope that her faith will help her and all of you through this time. I feel so helpless- I am sure that you would know just the right thing to say or do, but I don't, Paula. Just remember that my heart and prayers are with you and if there is anything that I can do, please let me know. May God be with all of you.

Sarah Whitlock will be remembered as an individual of high aspirations. She aspired to spiritual and ethical ideals and kindness toward others. Her zest for life and vivaciousness shined around her like a light.

She was pursuing her educational goals of a degree in Nursing with enthusiasm and determination to do a good job.

She was a good listener, and a good friend and co-worker.

We miss her very much.

Sincere condolences to her family at this time of sorrow.

Gary, Paula, and family,

We are so sorry and saddened to hear about Sarah. Our hearts and prayers are with you during this trying time. It is hard for me to realize she was 23. I can still see that beautiful little flower girl in Deena and Bryan's wedding. We continue to think of you during this very sad time. God will see you through this. Patty and Al Bishop (Deena's mom)
