This is a huge loss. Sara had nothing but goodness in her heart. she treated people w/ kindness in every interaction. She deserved to be here , she enjoyed life and she was a light. Her death ihas left me just numb, Sars deserved to be around for he children & grand babies . She found joy in others happiness and this is a heartbreaking loss. Cody & Brooklyn , I look forward to seeing you but I may not let u go from a hug because this feels impossible to process and I'm so sorry you lost your mother. Sara was such a light in my daughters childhood and cherished friend . Sara gave all those kids the world and always made a memorable day for the kids. She loved gifting kids , she was a light and she always shared that light . Much love to Doug & Vicki & Bill. Love you all.

Sara was a great person and an amazing aunt. She was always so full of fun and love. The last thing she talked about with me was her kids and how proud she was of them and how much she loved them. She talked about her dad and Bill and how much they meant to her. With Sara, we talked about loss a lot whenever I needed her support and the best thing she ever told me was “love harder and forgive more often because life is so short.†I carry those words with me each and every day. I pray for all the friends and family of sara who are suffering this loss. Where there is grief, there is love.

I had a dream about you last night. This morning drinking coffee, I “ googled†your name… hoping to maybe run across a email for you. What I found was the last thing id ever think to see. I can’t even articulate my feelings at this point…I can’t believe what I am reading. Your gone.. from our world. Oh Sara Beara, the memories I have of you will always last forever. The last time I spoke to you, you had just had your baby girl. Im sure if she isn’t a adult already, shes pretty close. … You always were Bretts cool older sister, and then you were my friend, not just Bretts “ cool†sister. ..Bill—Im So sorry for this immense loss. I cant even imagine or grasp any of this. To Vicki, this is not even fathomable to me. As Moms, we are not “ supposed “ to out live our children… but life is like that and we just never know.. My heart is just deeply heavy thinking of you tonight,. Of your whole family and of Sara’s kids, of the love of her life, Bill. Im so sorry yall. Brett, Im sorry, I dont even know what to say. Your sister was the best, she was mad , crazy, beautiful, cool and I loved her and will never forget the Memories Of her. … Angels have to be real or something… I didnt even know she was gone. I googled her with intentions to catch up on life. Rest In Peace my sweet sister. Thank you for your friendship over our life time.â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ love you Big Sara Jo!!!!
