  1. Sandra and Heath we are sorry to hear about Sarah.She will be greatly missed. she always had a wonderful smile..Our thoughts and prayers are with you.God Bless!

  2. Sandy, losing both of my parents to this illness, I know what it feels like. The loneness, the emptiness, the lonely days that is to follow and all the feelings that go with these things during this time are felt. There seems like nothing that anyone can say that helps, but the good news is that her troubles are over now and she is at rest. One often hears, ‘Time heals everything.’ I don’t know what nut said that, but I say to you that with time it gets easier to live with, you, as well as myself, will always miss our loved ones.
    God bless you and yours during this time and don’t forget, you have friends, so if there is anything that we can do to help in anyway, just let us know.

  3. My sincere sympathy,thoughts and prayers are with you.
    May her memories, good life and Love carry your family through at this time of sorrow.
