Dear Dave, Kathy and family, We send our heartfelt condolences to all of you at this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.
Dearest Kathy & Family; My thoughts and prayers have been with you during this difficult time. May the wonderful memories of Sara cushion the sadness you and your family feel right now. Most of all allow your faith to guide you today and always. With my deepest sympathy for your loss, Merri Hagle Federal Public Defender Office
I just wanted to say how sorry I am about Sara. I remember her in my 2nd grade classroom. She had the most wonderful smile and determined spirit. She always made me smile. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
To Sara’s Parents and Brothers, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I was a unit clerk at St Joesph, and I am currently one at Galichia. I have watched your family for years, and your closeness was amazing to see. No matter what had happened that day, you always walked into the hospital smiling and upbeat. You all were an inspiration. Your love for Sara will always be remembered. May God wrap his loving arms around you in this time of deep sorrow and give you stregnth and peace. I do know what pain you are going through, as we our loving daughter 3 years ago. God bless you all.
Dave and Kathy, Even though it’s been years since we’ve seen you guys, we’ve kept up thru Ken Schuette. We are so sorry to hear of your losing Sara. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our youngest son is also very sick so we do know somewhat of what you’ve gone thru. Joe has fought his battle for 5 years and it doesn’t get any easier. May God Bless you and your family at this difficult time. Linda & Bub Lovelady
We want to extend our deepest sympathy to your family. Our hearts go out to you for the loss you have suffered. Our prayers are with you and we hope that you will find comfort in your memories of Sara.
Sara was such a beautiful person inside and out! I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and very few patients have impacted my life like Sara has. When she was at St. Joseph in the ‘VIP Room’, we spent many hours talking about things that any teenage girl would want to talk about. I remember her love for Ben Affleck, peppermint sticks from Cracker Barrel and certain doctors! My daughters were young at the time, and it felt like she was another daughter of mine. The nurses at St. Joe developed a great love for Sara – we cried with her and prayed for her. When she was critical, we felt as though one of our family members was lying in that ICU bed. My prayers continue to go out to your family. Sara is no longer suffering; she is in the arms of Jesus! Sara will never be forgotten!
I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends on the passing of your love one. When unforeseen occurrences befall us and the enemy death strikes our grief can be great. It may even seem unfair that sickness, which can cause death, has the power to take away someone that we love. It is truly at times like this that we need comfort and support whether we are acquainted or not. May you find comfort in Almighty God’s word the Bible, and His promises of the ‘resurrection’: ‘Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…’ At that time, the fulfillment of Revelation 21: 1-5 will take place: and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. What a wonderful time that will be! Isnt it comforting to know that you and I have the prospects of seeing our love ones again under the best condition possible, a beautiful Paradise earth; God’s original purpose for mankind. All of God’s promises will come true, for it is impossible for God to lie. In order for us to believe in these promises, we have to be certain that the one making the promise is both willing and able to fulfill them. The Bible scriptures do just that. Please look up the cited scriptures in your personal copy of the Bible. Once again, you have my sincere condolences.-John 5: 28 & 29, Psalms 37:29, Luke 23: 43, Hebrews 6:18.
