I know you will be in heaven watching your beautiful daughter grow up to be just as beautiful and out-going as you. You were loved and cherished by many and you will always be loved and remember.

I will never forget high school times with you, you could make me laugh when i wasn't in a good mood.. remember this double trouble.. kurt and i are pray for you every minute......to the parents of Sarah::::you raised a amazing daughter.....Sarah you will get through this k we love you
CommentsSarah, to have had you a part of my life is a gift that will never be forgotten or lost. I feel blessed and privledged that I knew you and was able to watch you grow up. It's strange, as NIRMS I have always been the one to take care of you and the others. I guess it's your turn to take care of all of us. Our conversations have not stopped! just gotten a little quieter. Say hello to Vago. Our memories will always be with me and I hope someday to pass them on to Keegan..... Have some fun up in Heaven, show them that Sarah1 is in town and ready to stir things up. Saying that I will miss you is so understated so instead I want to say ****WHATEVER**** with all my love NIRMS
CommentsTrapped in the old years within the memory of belief, lost of all grief. Take the reasons, which once seemed so clear, but never mind, you have nothing to fear. For you will be, forever young, Forever in the heart of memories. So shed a smile, and grin a tear, For Sarah, will be, Forever young, Forever young. Forever in the heart of memory, We see not through the misery. Forever young, forever young. There's a new angel tonight, set to watch her little miracle grow from above and has touched lives and hearts, as far as the eye can see. Time will take its toll, but you will not be forgotten by all the lives you have been in and hearts you've effected Thanks for the memories Sarah Thanks for the past Thanks for your friendship and fun old days and let your memory last
CommentsSarah It's Joe again. Even though you are gone we will miss you very very much. My heart goes out to your family. We know your in heaven now, and you are out of any pain. We all Love you and will see you again someday.
Commentshello Sarah I'm an old friend from junior high. I remember you were as sweet as can be, I'm sure that never changed. I hardly know you now but my heart hurts- I mean really hurts. You already know this but you gave birth to a beautiful little girl and now she'll be forever protected from you watching over her in heaven. TO THE DENNIS PARENTS- no parents should have to bury their child, i am a mother and can't began to fathom your pain, I'm so so so sorry. your grandbaby, Keegan, is so amazing and I'm sure Sarah would agree that giving life to her was worth the turmoil you've all endured. your all are in my prayers. TO JENNY- I'm sure you'll be as good a big sister to Sarah as to little Keegan. God works in mysterious ways I'm praying for you all. goodbye Sarah
Comments*Sarah Baby... you will be missed greatly here on earth. I love you so very much! Look how many lives you have touched and blessed!!! I know that you will continue to do so. *Thank you for loving me and my kids. Boy all those diapers you changed, bottles you fed to my babies, fed and played with my kids, bathed and clothed them, went on vacations with us, shopped, asked for advice, never forgot b-days, always happy and excited about all the little things, ect.. will never be forgotten and truly cherished in a very special way. You took care of my babies and watched over them and I will do the same for you. *I am honored and humbled to know you and your sweet family and friends. I love you and will see you again! *Thanks for sharing your tears with me Wednesday night...XO
Comments*I still can't believe your gone...I'm going to miss you more then you would have ever imagined. I promise to tell "Keegs" about all the awesome things you've done and how wonderful you were...We will never forget you....*
CommentsI will miss you Sarah. I never saw this coming in a million years and never thought I would have to say good bye to someone who was once at my house everyday and who I was once really good friends with. I know we kinda lost touch over the years but I was still always there for you. You made me realize how precious life really is and not to fret over the little things because who knows when their time is up. I love you so much Sarah and I know your in a much better place now but there are a million of people who miss you deeply.
CommentsThe Dennis Family: Sarah was a strong willed, funny, stubborn girl and she obviously learned it from the people she was raised by. She is in a better place now even though it hurts more than anything to see her go. Everybody is praying for her and you guys. Even though Sarah has left us, she also left a beautiful baby girl, of whom I understand has a feisty personality and looks like Sarah. We will all miss her and hope the best for you guys.
CommentsHi Sarah. I was never a close friend of yours, but I always thought that you were sweet and beautiful with an amazing personality to match. You are loved and missed by so many and even though I never really got to know you very well, I'll still miss you and be forever glad that you were a part of my life and so many other lives. Keegan is gorgeous and I know she will always have you to guide her and be there for her. She is so lucky. P.S. You were great in "Don't Tell Mama!" It was a privilege to share the stage with you! =) P.P.S. To Sarah's family: Sarah is remarkable and beautiful in every way. You should be so proud to call her your daughter/sister/mother/friend/etc. and I know that you are. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Commentsi hope God will always bless you, sarah. I'll keep praying for you
Commentssarah, you were a nice girl now a beautiful angel. My prayers to you wonderful family and baby girl. I hope that the Lord welcomes you with open arms.
CommentsSARAH, How do I begin to tell you how much I love you? You have been my precious baby girl and I don't know how to let you go. It's so so hard to think of not having you here with me. I have been so scared the last few months trying so hard to fight for your life and I feel so helpless because this never should have happened. When I laid in your bed with you today, I kissed you and touched you from head to toe. I ran my fingers through your hair like you always told me you loved. I studied every freckle, every mole, everything about you, and I closed my eyes while I ran my fingers along your face to memorize it. I told you that you would be with me forever and always because I carry you in my heart, but at the same time I take comfort in knowing that you are now with the Lord. MIKE, our family loves you so very much and together we are all going to take really good care of Keegan. Sarah told me that you were the love of her life. You will always be family to us. KEEGAN, I always told your mommy that she was the best mommy in the whole world. She loved you so much and was absolutely incredible with you. You changed her from a girl to a woman. We are gonna take good care of you baby girl and your mommy will live on through you. JENNY and EMILY, You are the most incredible aunts a little girl could ask for. The way you take care of Keegan is amazing. I always love it when people tell me how they love to watch my three daughters together because they feel the love and connection you have. CHUCK, I know this is so hard but we are gonna get through it. We have an amazing family. RYAN and BRYAN, You have been such a strength not only to Jenny, Emily and Mike but also to me and Chuck. MELISSA, You are the most amazing friend a girl could ask for. You are more than a friend, you are a sister and you are always a part of our family. We love you. MANDYKINS, I know how deeply you loved Sarah and how hard this is for you. You and Sarah went from little fighters to true sisters. We love you more than you could know. Our family has been so touched by the amount of people that have come to see Sarah and comfort us. We thank all of you for your thoughts, prayers and visits. Please come visit us often to keep our spirits up. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!
CommentsWow. I haven't talked to you in a long ass time and for that i am so sorry. i just want to thank you. the very first day that i came to chaparral, and i had no friends, no one to hang out with, you invited me to hang out with you and your friends. because of your heart i wasn't to weird girl wandering around school my first day. i feel like a bitch because the last time that i saw you at the mall i just glanced and i didn't even say hi. i don't know if you'll read this or not, but just know that you (and your baby) are in my prayers. and if you make it through this...we will hang out. ill have the biggest bouquet of roses for you. if you don't, ill see you up there.
CommentsSarah - I went to high school with Jenny and I am close friends with Leslie Shaffer. I only met you once and got a great impression of you. I want you to know that we are all thinking of you...I will be praying for your family and friends...we all will. Your little girl will grow up with tons of love and support and care. You truly blessed her life by being the best mom to her. God bless and we will be thinking of you.
CommentsSarah . A girl with so much passion. and love, I was the lucky one to of been able to share in your life. Its been a journey from being your girl scout leader to being close friends to you and your family. I treasure that. And feel honored to be included. I'm so glad you found me at my office 3 weeks ago when you brought over Keegan and we visited for an hour, and made plan to get together to take Keegan to the park and have some fun. After you left me i marveled in your womanhood and how I have been lucky to watch you grow from a young girl to a beautiful and caring mother, it is evident that Keegan was your prize possession as you handled and fussed over her, and held her with amazement in you own eyes. We talked and talked and time went fast. As you left me I said to my self that I couldn't wait to get together again and spoil the two of you. And how lucky am i that you want to get together with your old girl scout leader, and hang out. Keegan is more than beautiful . she is soooo "Gerber" the most beautiful baby in the world. And now we all have her.... and we will feel "you in her", and watch her grow in to a little Sarah, and we will tell her stories of her moms spirit and passions. I have many of your girl scout days with our troop. I am making color copies at Kinko's for little Keegan so that she can see what kind of girl her mommy was. I am proud to do that. I have always appreciated your hugs as we visited you at the sunglass hut. And now your an angel to watch over your baby. When I pray to God, I will always ask for messages to be delivered to you, because in my heart you will always be. I will always be friends to your family. and love them and be with them as long as they want me. As I got the news last night that you passed I privately went to my bedroom and cried again. I guess there was some part of me that believed that a miracle was in store. and thought you'd pull yourself thru. As I visited you at the hospital yesterday, you looked like an angel just resting asleep. And we had talked the day before about what fast food you wanted me to bring you on my visit, I feel like I am in a dream state. And I know its because I love you sooo much, and am missing you. Thank you for the memories Sarah. for your love. We will embrace one another in heaven, where I know you are. and pick up our friendship where we left off. your always going to be in my heart. I will love you forever. From your Girl Scout leader. Deniece Young (Miss Deniece) xoxo
CommentsMy condolences to your family and friends. We shared some good times together Sarah and they will never be forgotten. This is not good bye. This is simply I'll see you in heaven. Fly like the angel that you are. May God Bless your family and your child.
CommentsDear Dennis Family, We just want you to know how sorry and shocked we all are, I feel so lucky that I got to see Sarah and Keegan a few weeks ago over at the Terry's house. I left there thinking how lucky the baby is to have such a wonderful and loving family around her, and what a fantastic mommy Sarah was. Please know that we are thinking of you so much, and that you can call on our family to help you out with anything you need. Sincerely, Andrea & Nico Lievense and family
Commentsmy condolences to your family and friends. We shared some good times together sarah and they will never be forgotten. This is not good bye .This is simply I'll see you in heaven. Fly like the angel that you are. God Bless your family and your child.

CommentsSarah, my prayers go out to you and your family. God bless. I know you are in a better place now. You will be missed very much!!!!!
CommentsSarah, we never really hung out. But I did consider you a friend. I can not believe your gone. Heather Brinegar called me and told me what happened last night and we were both lost for words. Every time I think about you I think about the girl with so much energy and the biggest smile. Now your smiling down on us from Heaven. Keegan has the best mommy ever! We all Love you Sarah and you will be missed!
CommentsI knew Sarah in High school and she is a very bright and beautiful person always had a smile on her face. I heard what happen yesterday and i want you to know you have my best wishes and my prayers go out to Sarah and her family.
CommentsR.I.P. Sarah.....you will be missed....
CommentsSarah we were friends in drama a long time ago I just want you to know that I'll pray for you and I hope that you can fight back and be as stubborn as you used to be and pull through. Much love ~Tyson
Commentsi miss you so much sarah
CommentsDear Sarah, I only met you 2 times and I am saddened I didn't get to know you better. I just saw you 2 weekends ago...so hard to believe. I wanted to say goodbye and I know you are at peace and in a wonderful place. May Keegan, your family, Mike and your friends be comforted and blessed. Heather
CommentsHi Sarah. You don't me, and I didn't know you. One of your friends posted a message about your passing and I can't believe it happened. I'll keep your family in my prayers, and please try and send messages to your baby.
CommentsSarah, I'm gonna miss you so much. I'm still in shock that this happened. i'll never forget all the times in girl scouts we had. or the classes we had last year at msjc. I remember we would always run into each other at school & you would always say hi. I know your in a better place now & I'll never forget you. your friends & family are in my prayers.
CommentsSarah.... you were loved by so many people and I feel so lucky to have known such a fun loving person like you. Words will never be able to fully express how much you will truly be missed. I will always remember all of the fun memories I’ve had with you like homecoming night when we wanted to beat a certain boy up for being a jerk :0) you always had me laughing with all of your random and outrageous jokes. Those memories seem so distant now, and we both seemed to go our separate ways in the past two years or so, but i loved how i could run into you at the mall when i was home again and it just seemed like we picked up right where we left off again, and i appreciated and loved that about you. You and your family will be in my prayers. luv ya girlie!
CommentsIt still hurts. but we all know you are in heaven. I see people with a sad face. Sarah we love you. I know when we all see you again we will hug you. to your family may God Bless you keep strong.
CommentsSarah, you have always been a friend of mine and an awesome person to be around. I know you are safe now. I love you and your family and hope every one can come together and learn from this tragedy! Love you soooo much "DENNIS" Brandon Crowley
Commentsr.i.p. beautiful
Comments<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a185/reefhansen/sarah004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> I don't know if this picture will show up. I figured it was worth a try. I'm sitting at home by myself with Makaila. I'm pulling up all the pictures we had together and I smile and laugh. Today, I cried to Nikki telling her that I wish I could take your place. We love you so much that it kills me that you are gone. I have wrote in here so many times...It helps me feel like I am talking to you. Your mom loves you and Keegan so much. I watch her and I want so bad for everyone to be ok...but I know deep down that they wont. I keep thinking of Makaila and Keegs growing up together and laughing at all the stupid stuff that happened that day. Then I will go to sleep and pray to you. Ask you what you thought about them joking around like we did. They will have their little inside jokes...and you'll laugh and I'll laugh with you. It makes me so sad, cause I keep thinking about how much we talked about them growing up together and how they will act. And I always pictured you there with me when they were older. I'm at a loss as is everyone else. You are so perfect and so beautiful. I love you so much...and I can't ever stop promising you and your family that I will be there till the end of time. I love you and Keegan so much. You took a peice of my heart with you and that will never be replaced. I love you I love you I love you!
CommentsSarah- I cannot believe that I was just talking to you right before you had Keegan. I think I saw you everyday that week because you were over due and were trying to walk the baby out. I will always cherish the few memories that we had together. You are a beautiful person inside and out. You will always be in my heart and the hearts of those who love you. To the Dennis family- My prayers are with you in this difficult time. Keegan- Your mommy will always be watching over you- keep her close to your heart and she will always be with you. We miss you Sarah
CommentsFamily and friends of Sarah: My prayers and thoughts are with you always. It seems like just yesterday, Sarah and I were dressing up for her sisters homecoming when we were in 8th grade and Sarah's mom did our hair in updos! I will miss her dearly. If you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know. All my love....
CommentsSarah, I just want to let you you know that I love you and you and your family are in my thoughts everyday. It was so wonderful to see you the last time I did...holding you beautiful daughter so proud! She was a blessing from god and so were you. We were so lucky to have you for the 19 years that we did and now we get to watch Keegan grow up in your remembrance and I am sure you will be looking down on her watching her grow up, too. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis, Jenny and Emily-I love you guys so much and I am so sorry I can't image your pain. I will always be here for you guys and if you need anything at all don't hesitate to call 514-9274. I will do anything anytime. I am so sorry for your loss. Jenny-lets get together with Keegan and McKenna and have a girls day sometime. I love you Sarah and you will never be forgotten you have made a wonderful imprint on the world and remembering your smile will always brighten my day. With much love...
CommentsTo the Dennis Family (Chuck, Debbie, Jenny and Emily): We love you so much and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Sarah was such a beautiful person and an awesome mother to Keegan. Keegan is a bundle of joy and so was Sarah. You are so lucky to have Keegan to remember Sarah by. You are all loved by so many.
CommentsSarah, You are beautiful. There are so many people here that miss you and care about you. Your daughter is a miracle baby and she is going to hear about what an amazing person her mommy was for the rest of her life. I know that you are watching her right now and that you will be with her always. P.S. Thanks for coming to my birthday and livening things up!
CommentsDear Sarah, I know that you are watching down on all of us now, and you know how very loved you are. I pray ever day that your family can find some peace in knowing that you are with GOD and through him they will feel your presence. I held your beautiful little girl yesterday. She radiates the same beauty as her mommy. She is so very precious, and I know that she has a special purpose in life. Keegan will always know what a incredible mommy she had. Though you were only here for a short time you have left us all with the most beautiful memories anyone could ask for. I will never forget the day your mother walked across the street with you on her hip. It turned out to be one of the best days of my family's lives. Knowing you has been a blessing from GOD. WE LOVE YOU SARAH and will carry you in our hearts forever.
Commentsto the Dennis family, I am deeply sorry for you loss. Sarah was a wonderful woman that i have had the honor to meet and know. i know i haven't spoken to you or seen any of you in a very long time but if you just wanna talk...461-3484..take care of yourselves...
CommentsI didn't know you Sarah, and I don't know your parents, I only know Cathey, a friend of mine, who sent the email about your untimely death. I do know that your parents loved you and life without you will be devastating for them. I also know there will be a long and difficult grieving period and the next few years will not be easy for them. I know this because I went through something similar and I am still grieving and despondent at times. Life won't be the same without you, and every time the door opens, the telephone rings, or some event incident brings your memory to the forefront, it will bring some terrifically difficult moments, many tears and the age old question....WHY. I'm still asking it. We don't think we can go on.....but we do, we know that you are in someone's else's hands now, more powerful than any, we know that you are not suffering, we would not want that for you, we know that no matter how painful your death has made your parents, they never would have wanted to see you suffer, but take comfort that they had so many wonderful years with you. None of it is easy Sarah, that's why they had this website set up - to honor your memory. You were loved by everyone. So I say to your parents - when it seems like the end of the world, know that Sarah would want for it not to be for you, when it seems like you can't cope, think of Sarah, ask what she would want for you, live for Sarah, it is the only way you can cope with your terrible loss. Do the things you know that Sarah would want you to do, even if it brings a bucketful of tears. I'm sure she would be proud.
CommentsSarah, you will be deeply missed!! My thoughts and prayers go out to your beautiful daughter and family!! God Bless...xoxo
CommentsYou knew how much I loved you Best of love to your daughter Keegan, your family, your boyfriend and all your friends. You'll be remembered forever and forever in my heart. Keegan, your mom was beautiful and full of spirit. You have so much support. You will grow up to be as beautiful as Sarah. Rest in peace Bye Freaker Taylor Barnett 6/24/06
CommentsSarah and family, Sarah from the moment I met you back in 6th grade you were an amazing, loving, beautiful girl! My life would have been incomplete without you.. Who else would have remembered the lyrics to CAt Dog or call me every Monday night to sing the 7th Heaven song?? I am so thankful that you left us with such a beautiful baby...Keegan is loved by so many, you could not even imagine.. I love you so much and I know that you are now in a better place.

CommentsSarah, it's amazing how many lives were touched by just one person ~ you. and to read all these comments must make your parents proud that they raised such a well-liked, remarkable friend to many. your warm smiles at school EVERYDAY and your good-natured personality will be remembered.
CommentsI love you Sarah! I will always remember you as that crazy hyper girl I met at Vacation Bible School at Rancho Community Church. I always loved your hair and wish mine was that same color. I know that you are with the Lord. I am praying for your friends, family, and your little baby (that is absolutely adorable). You and your friends always seemed to have so much fun together and I am sure you were a great friend to all of them. Everyone misses you. Love you Sarah!

She is so thankful to have such an amazing mom. I know your safe in heaven now and watching over all of us. i will meet you up there one day. I love you and will always remember you.
CommentsOh man Sarah today at the car wash my friend Jason came to help out. You guys have never met but let me tell you he is HOTT! So when I finally got to the car wash I went up to your mom and gave her a hug and she started to tell me about this Hott guy that is there helping out. And laughed and told her that I work with him. He is the sweetest guy ever. And boy Sarah does he have a nice chest! LOL...Anyways we made a lot of money today for you. I miss you girl. Love you so much. R.I.P.
CommentsSarah D, the first time we meet was in good ol Frosty Miller's class, it was u, me and Cagle everyday in the back of the class talking away and just absolutely pissing Frosty off every class. No matter how many times he gave us dirty looks or told us to shut the hell up, i didn't care because everything you said or did, or anything me and Mel did was just funny as hell and made the class a lot more tolerable, i don't know how i would of made it through that class with out u two ladies. I must say that i am very sad that we only got together once at Stadium Pizza for two for Tuesdays. I might be selfish but i was looking forward to getting together more and more at Stadium with the four of us. That was the first time i got to see beautiful Keegan and was so impressed at how excellent of mother you were with her, you made it look so easy being a parent and you were brand knew to all of it. It definitely makes me sad to think about how that was the last time i would see you again, and until the day comes when i can see again and chill and talk about those Frosty Miller math class days. Until then hopefully you will keep an eye on me and help me out when I'm struggling in my future math classes:) Love ya Sarah and miss ya.
CommentsI don't even know what to say Sarah. We shared some great memories and I've been thinking about them lately and laughing. always remember that blink 182 song and of course the greatest drink in the world, black cherry juice. I will always remember you and miss you all the time. To Sarah's family, I am very sorry for your loss and can only imagine what you're feeling.
Comments"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh or love or work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My short life has been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, A loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He has set me free" An angel got her wings...Rest in Peace Beautiful Sarah
CommentsSarah, I wish I could have seen you grow into such a beautiful young lady. My prayers are with you your journey and I love you so much. I will see you soon love your cousin.
Commentssarah i will always miss the smile u would put on my face after talking to u at the mall and talking about the latest things in our life . i love u and watch over us ... to your mom and dad and sisters i am so sorry that u had to go though the pain of losing sarah she was a wonderful person my prayers are with your family..
CommentsYou were so awesome girl!! I'll miss running into you at the mall!! We lost touch the last few months but you will never be forgotten!! I know your shinning down on us from heaven!! Keegan will carry down your beautiful smile and caring heart!! To your wonderful family my prayers are with you!!
Comments*Sarah- I held your "sweet" baby KEEGAN today and smelled her like crazy!!! She looks just like you and is soooo loved as you know. She is such a beautiful baby. Your family and friends are awesome and are so fun to be around. I love them like I love you and will be around forever!*
CommentsAll that comes to my mind is "You have got to be kidding me", it's so surreal. Everyday I sit back and pinch myself and pray I will wake up. You watched my child grow up, you were the highlight of her day, you were the smile on everyone's face, you were the light at the end of the tunnel. I think of all the friends I have lost in my life and it is so true that God ONLY takes the best!!! Mr and Mrs Dennis- you raised the best woman I have ever come across in my life, you should be so proud. I can only hope that my daughter turns out like yours. With Much Love- Matthew and Gayle Hoye
CommentsSarah you had such a strong and selfless nature. And anyone who knew you at all probably still imagines your distinct laugh, because you used it all the time. Let the gift of your daughter's life be tribute to your own and your beautiful story of sacrifice. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Best wishes to your baby!
CommentsWe are friends of the Terry family and we are so sorry for what you are going through. You have been and will be in our prayers. We do not even know your family or Sarah and we have been so touched by this. It has to be the worst thing that could happen in this life to a parent, sister etc. to loose a young person like Sarah. Please know that there are many, many people behind your family at this time praying and thinking of you. You are not alone for we care. With love, Mike, Susan, Darren & Tyler Curtis family
Commentssarah, You were a very nice and fun girl. I think your family loved you so much. Now that you are up in heaven every body will miss you so much but you are in a better place than we are. Lots of love xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
CommentsSarah, It has been a long time since I have seen you. We were at dinner and I was visiting with my young children. I remember you and your sisters at the restaurant. I remember the blonde hair and your smile. I remember how proud your dad was when he was bringing me up to date on how you were doing. That was ten years ago. By reading the comments, I can tell you have become a wonderful woman and you touched so many lives. This is very sad and I am at a loss as what to say. I pray for you and your beautiful daughter. I pray for sisters and your mom and dad. You were a blessing to so many people and you will continue to be in every thought everyone has about you. Uncle Chuck, and Aunt Debbie, I am so sorry! I have many fond memories of our family visits together. I am praying for you!
CommentsYou will be so missed. Alex and Bear will miss you, I will miss you. You have such an impacted on my children and the whole "Village". I know you were taken early from us to protect all little children. I have told the girls god needed you to be the gardian angle over all little children and protect them all. That when we get to heaven, you will be sitting right next to god and welcoming my girls with open arms. Alex said she looks forward to seeing you again. We love you and you will sooo be missed. Thank you for the moments we were gifted to spend with you. Stacy, Doug, Alex and Brittany Bear

CommentsI love you Dennis family and you know that I am always here for you. I loved your daughter with all of my heart. If you need my help with anything you know my number. Love you, Lauren
CommentsVery touched by this website in honor of Sweet Sarah. The outpouring of love is priceless. Sarah set a beautiful example on how we should pattern our lives...Love One Another. May we always remember the feelings, thoughts and love we are experiencing now. The world be a better place if we carried this always in our hearts. God Bless you Sweet Sarah and Thank You for sharing your life with so many. I can feel heaven is not far away! xo
CommentsGod bless you, your baby and your loved ones!
CommentsGod bless you Sarah. It's hard to swallow that some one so loved and recognized can be taken so abruptly. i don't think you would remember me, but I remember you... and although I was scared of your over the edge personality- I admired it above anything else. I remember having classes with you and just trying to figure out how person could be so out-going, so liked, so adored by her peers. I send much love to you, yours, and your beautiful baby. RIP.
Commentssarah, i don't know what i could possibly say to you or about you in a short paragraph to sum you up or my feelings about you. you were so full of life. you lived your life one hundred percent in the short years you had. you were a bit of a spitfire, and sometimes a pain in the ass, but you were so genuinely funny about the whole thing that no one could honestly stay mad at you. you were so smart, funny and beautiful. i have always loved you, but i could not bring myself to tell you, it seemed like coming out and saying it would be a death sentence. and i couldn't believe, and would'nt believe, that we might really lose you. but i know you understood. you were so determined to get what you wanted out of life, and it brings me some peace to know that at least you became a mommy before you died. keegan is so sweet, she looks just like you. i wonder how much of you she will have in her personality. i hope she gets your determination and sense of humor.i love you sarah
CommentsMike & Dennis family, I didn't know Sarah well but the times I did see her at Kory & Mandy's thru the years I knew she was special and a sweet, sweet girl. Mandy called her "my little sister in Christ". My family and I have you in our prayers. I thank God for giving her the joys of love and motherhood before bringing her to Him. What joy she must be experiencing now!!!!!!!!!!! My heart goes out to all of you.
CommentsI miss you but i know that you're in a better place. I was looking through all of our pictures throughout the years and it has reminded me of how amazing you are and teh fun times that we have shared. There is no doubt in my mind that you are looking down on all of us and little keegs. You are the best Sarah and i'll never forget you! NEVER. i Love you!
CommentsWe will always miss Sarah. She was a beautiful girl. She always had a funny but stubborn side to her. But I guess that's why I loved her so much. While I was with her at the end. We talked about God and how important faith and family was. She talked about how much she loved her baby, Mike and her mom, dad and sisters. I will always remember her in my prayers and in my heart. I know she will always be in Jehovah's memory. And I hope to see her again in paradise. Love Aunt Mindy
CommentsTo the Dennis family, This is a poem that someone gave me after Autumn died, it really ministered to me, hope you too. SAFELY HOME I am home in heaven, dear ones; oh, so happy and bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly trod the valley of shade? Oh! But Jesus' love illumined every dark and fearful glade. And He came himself to meet me in that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely; for I love you dearly still: Try to look beyond earth's shadows, pray to trust our Fathers will. There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth, you shall rest in Jesus' hand. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, oh, the joy to see you come! In His might grip together,
CommentsSarah, It is with a heavy heart that I write to you and it's truly a travesty that you have left. You brought so much life and energy to everyone you touched. I will never forget my interview with you, I thought I was interviewing myself, but more importantly a friendship developed from there. I will truly miss our many conversation's and the time we had here together. I know I will see you again so hold a spot for me right next to you. You are my little sis in christ and life. Chuck, Debbie, Jenny, and Emily my heart and prayer's go out to all of you, you are all loved and cared for. You are in my prayer's. Baby Keegan you are the legacy Sarah left for all of us to love and cherish. I can't wait for the day that I can tell you stories of your mommy and how she touched so many lives. Sarah I don't say good bye to you but that I will see you again someday. I love you always.
CommentsSarah I am going to miss you soooooo much you were such an amazing person and you will never be forgotten. I will never foreget all of the fun times we had together. You were such a fun person to be around. I am here for your family if they ever need anything. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and I cant wait to see you again. Love Tim
CommentsThis is the worst thing that has happened, and yet I still don't want it to be true. Just know that I think about you everyday and all the fun times that we have had over the years; being so obnoxious, loud, crazy.. I remember how everyone thought we were so annoying sometimes, or too loud and we wouldn't care at all- in fact, we'd get louder and do more annoying things. OR when we were sitting on my couch downstairs and thinking We were so cool for naming ourselves Sarah1 and Sarah2. =)When i'd come pick you up cause you didn't have your license and it'd take us forever just to figure out where we wanted to go or what we wanted to eat. I remember when you'd always try to convince me that "volatiles" are "the shit" and that i needed to come into Lexi's and get a pair! The list can go on and on, and yet I'm still at a loss for words. It's still amazing to look back and be so thankful for the opportunity to be close with you throughout high school. I love you and just like everyone else, I can't wait to tell baby keegs what a great mommy she had and what a great friend I found in you. You are the best! I love you Sarah.
CommentsSarah I remember all the times I was at the cart. Just to stop by and say hi. Every time I was drinking a soda. You had your smile and shook your head. You told me to promise you for every soda I had I will drink a glass of water. I know I drink too much soda. I am starting to drink more water. You did know I liked Pepsi better than coke.
CommentsSarah, God loved you so much he called you to be HIS angel. The tears of those who loved you so.. flow like a river, hearts are in pain, an empty place will forever remain in the lives of those left behind. It is hard to feel the joy of your entrance into God's Kingdom, when our loss is so huge. Sarah was loved by so many...whether they knew her well, or her sweetness brushed their life but briefly. May the comfort of God's love lighten the heavy hearts of the grieving. God bless you Keegan, Chuck, Debbie, Jenny and Emily
CommentsSarah, I’m always going to remember the very first time I met ya in 9th grade health class all the way till post high school craziness haha and all the fun stuff in between; including those extra points in Deshanes class haha ;) Although you’re gone, it makes things easier to know that your legacy will live on with your friends, loving family and reflect in your gorgeous daughter. Everything is going to be ok; you only realize how many friends you have and how much the world misses you when you’re gone, but everything is going to be ok. Keegan will live a happy life surrounded by the individuals who loved you most. So until I see you again; Good bye Sarah, were all going to miss you.

Commentslove you sarah
CommentsSarah- i love you so much! I looked up to you for as long as I could remember. When Miss Deniece called me and told me what happened, I knew that you would get through it. You are such a strong woman and no matter what you always will . When I saw you at the mall with Keegan, all i could think of was how she looked identical to you. I saw you as a mommy. Whenever i see Keegan, i see your face and when ever I see you, I think of how special you are. I miss you so much! I never thought that something like this could happen to you. When you told me that you were wanting to become a teacher, I thought "how amazing! Maybe you could be my children's teacher." MRS. DENNIS, you raised the most beautiful, loving, caring, and comical daughter. Whenever I had a bad day, she was always there to comfort me and tell that everything would alright. I know that she will be watching all of us, especially little Keegan. KEEGAN, I know that you will make your mom so proud. We all will be there for you. I LOVE YOU SARAH DENNIS! xoxo
CommentsSARAH, SARAH How sorry I was to hear what happened to you. I am still in shock that you are gone. You were a feisty little hot tamale and everybody loved you. You were the type that people would say, "Gosh, she's loud" but the people that truly knew you, knew that it was because you always had a lot to say and were so full of life, you wanted everyone to know it. I have watched you grow from a little girl to a young woman through the years, from Girl Scouts to Pop Warner Cheerleading (I was your Team Mom). Oh the memories we made in the Van to and from the Saturday Games - singing to the Backstreet Boys and NSync CD's - you always wanted to be the loudest. After Girl Scouts ended, we didn't see much of you except to run into you at Hometown Buffet and then the Sunglass Stand. You are in heaven now looking down on us. We are all crying buckets of tears now because you are gone from this life and gone to the next. I never got to see your little baby girl, but I heard she was absolutely beautiful. KEEGAN: Your mommy was a great lady and full of life. Everyone that knew her or came in contact with her wanted to be her friend and be a part of her life. You have a wonderful family that will always keep her Memories alive. DEBBIE & CHUCK: There are not enough words to express my sympathy to you and your family. What a beautiful daughter you brought into this world - THANK YOU for sharing her with all of us who had the opportunity to know such a wonderful and caring person. Today we are laying her to rest and celebrating her wonderful life. * * * SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN * * * SARAH - REST IN PEACE until we meet again. PAT
CommentsMOM, Do you remember when we went to Sea World all those years ago? Probably fifteen years or so... I remembered a funny little thing that happened that she did all those years ago and then I remembered what I did on Wednesday afternoon... We were all feeding the dolphins and I was holding Sarah in my left arm and holding a paper plate of dead frozen fish in my left hand. Sarah was grabbing the fish out of my hand and feeding the dolphins. After a few minutes of feeding the dolphins and actually getting to touch one of them, she rested her head on mine, sighed for a moment and then ran her "fish gut" dirty hand through my hair and said "Aaron I love you, your my favorite". So alright i walked through Sea World for the next few hours with fish guts and scales in my hair. when the wind blew just right, ( and it did quite frequently) i got a wonderful odor of dead fish to raise my awareness of how much Sarah loved me. I was just reminded of this on Wednesday the 21st of June 2006, when I was on the 7th floor of Loma Linda hospital, at around 4 p.m.. I went into Sarah's room with Aunt Debby. My knees shaking, Sarah in a coma, heart monitors and respirators beeping... I stood kind of off to the side not knowing what to do, when Aunt Debby said to me "Aaron come over here and talk to her". I walked over to her side not knowing what to say or do, when Aunt Debby told me to run my fingers through her hair and talk to her (cause that's what's she likes). So on that day... the last day I saw her. I walked up to her right side (with tears in my eyes, and my knees still shaking). I ran my trembling fingers through her hair and told her that i loved her and she was my favorite... Sarah my "favorite" cousin started to kick her feet, and I wondered if she remembered that day as I did. I hope she did. How things turn around 180*. she told me she loved me in her innocence. I told it in devastation and loss... I have buried a whole side of my family. and now I start on another. It is a sure all feeling. something I don't want to do. but i have to... I tried to be strong. but after the phone call I got at 2 in the morning on Wednesday I broke down... bad... And when I arrived at the hospital on Thursday afternoon I felt an eternal loss and heartbreak. When I saw Uncle Chuck collapse on the floor and break down in the hallway floor after she passed away I tried to stay strong, but i broke down... I remembered the times we had.. and the times we missed... Mom... I loved her like a sister that I never had... I will bury her like the sister that she is... and pray she is going to see me once again... Cause I may not be there. But I still pray and ask for forgiveness.... pray for her... pray for me... pray we don't or haven't walked the fence... I love you and miss you Sarah. Love, Your Cousin Aaron
Comments* Sarah Dennis's Life Celebration* So, I went to your Funeral this morning and it was more amazing than I ever could have thought. Melissa you were so strong to stand up and tell us and Sarah how much you love her!!! Emily, you and Jenny were awesome for telling some family stories and sharing all the emotion that your sister's passing has brought you. I was so glad to have said my good-bye to Sarah in her angelic pink casket sitting in the beautiful sunshine today. Debbie & Chuck; I cannot believe how strong you were today, it really made this day a little more easier for the rest of us. I would love to keep in touch and visit often to watch lil' "Keegs" (as Sarah nick-named her ;) )grow up so I can share my stories with her...if you need anything do not hesitate to call me. I will never let the memories of holding Keegan at the reception slip my memory, she is soo beautiful and is the spitting image of Sarah. All I wanted to do was hold her forever and let her know that all this was for her beloved mommy. I let my balloon go with my favorite memory of Sarah and I....I hope she reads it...it will definitely make her smile. Thank you for everyone who was there to celebrate Sarah's life and hug me when I thought I was going to break down. <3 I Love & Miss you Sarah S. Dennis....You will never be forgotten <3
CommentsSarah, I remember when your mom babysat my brother and I in the fifth grade. We would always go to Alberstons and get candy and pick out a free movie and watch it every morning. Then came girl scouts with Mrs. Hollins... then we got in to Mrs. Denice's troop Beverly Hills. HA!! We had so much fun in that troop. Ari, Laura and me went to her house the other day to look at all of the scrapbooks she had made of our troop. She made the most beautiful scrapbook for your family and Keegan. I am sure is is going to cherish it so much. I remember the last time I saw you was at the mall and you were so so excited to show off your "prego" belly. You looked so beautiful and happy. I think the one thing I will remember about you is your laugh. You had the greatest laugh and you put anyone in a good mood with that laugh of yours. Your baby is beautiful and I know that your family will take such good care of her. Your funeral was beautiful and you were loved by so many. Rest in Peace Sarah, and when I get up there give me a good laugh and then I will know that I am in the right place. To the Dennis family, it was such a joy to be a part of your family for that short time that you watched us and through girl scouts. You raised a wonderful daughter who made a permanent mark on so many lives as you found out today at the service. I am sure that I will see you around town and I can't wait to meet Keegan. Melissa, I know how it feels to loose your best friend. Stay strong and know that she is watching over you and when you go to her and your favorite places know that she will be with you in spirit. I am sure that you look forward to sharing the crazy moment had with Sarah with Keegan when she gets older. Hang in there. We all love you Sarah. Jenna Van Dun oxoxoxoxoxoxo

CommentsHey Sarah, Today as I arrived at your celebration of life and looked at the slides of you growing up and as a child, all the good times came back to me. I remember when you would baby-sit me and we would play Nintendo all day and watch CatDog. We would play Red light/Green light and hide-and-go-seek and we would run threw the house. And the time you and Melissa came to the beach with my family and we would have the best time in the water and sand before we got sun burnt. Those were the good old days. You are such a beautiful woman and have a wonderful and beautiful daughter, Keegan. Sarah, you will always be in my heart, mind, and souls for the rest of my life until we meet in heaven. You are a champion, trooper, young woman, and a happy person to me. I wish we could have meet sooner because the last time I saw you was four years ago. But I'm sure I will see you in heaven. I hope you are happy to be with the Lord and I know he is happy to see you. I love you very much Sarah and please don't forget me. You and your family and baby will always be in my prayers. I love you very much sweet and beautiful Sarah.

CommentsSarah, growing up with you and Jenny was the best thing that could have happened in my life. I'm not sure you or your family ever knew this, but your family was stability I didn't have at home during that time. I watched you and Jenny and how you bickered, and how you told funny stories about each other, and how much you all loved each other. You became the first little sister I ever had. You used to look out for Jenny and I, and lecture us about our behavior. Sarah I love you so much and I am so proud that you became an amazing mommy. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to share that with you, but my love for you and your family will always be in a special part of my heart. You're with Jesus now, and one day we'll all meet you there. In the mean time look down and watch Keegan grow because I can guarantee she'll be a "spitfire" just like you. To the entire Dennis family: Thank you for making me a part of your family. You will always be family to me and I will always love you. If there is anything you need I will be here everyday to help you. All my love and prayers

CommentsI MISS YOU!!! AND YOUR SPUNKY PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, YESTERDAY WE HAD WHAT SOME WOULD CALL A FUNERAL, BUT I CHOOSE TO CALL A CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR YOU. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, JUST AS YOU ARE. WE ALL WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE IT PERFECT AND COMPLETELY TO WHO YOU ARE. THE BEAUTIFUL PINK CASKET, WHAT YOU WERE WEARING AND HOLDING IN YOUR HANDS, THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, THE MUSIC, THE WORDS PASTOR DAVE SPOKE ABOUT YOU, THE PALLBEARERS, THOSE WHO SPOKE, THE PLACE IN WHICH YOU WERE LAID TO REST, THE BEAUTIFUL RECEPTION WERE ALL THOUGHT OUT IN GREAT DETAIL TO REPRESENT JUST WHO YOU ARE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE CAME TO CELEBRATE YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE. ALTHOUGH MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT I AM SO STRONG, REALLY MY HEART IS RIPPING INTO PIECES AND I CAN HARDLY BARE THE THOUGHT OF GOING ON WITHOUT YOU. ALTHOUGH I TAKE GREAT COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND HIS GLORY, I SELFISHLY WANT YOU HERE WITH ME. MY HEART IS CONSUMED WITH AN UNBEARABLE PAIN, AND I KEEP FORGETTING THAT YOU'RE GONE AND I LOOK FOR YOU. I NEVER IMAGINED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO US, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M SO HAPPY TO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU'RE IN HEAVEN. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT I COULDN'T GO ON. I JUST MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH, AND I'M THANKFUL THAT I CAN CARRY YOU IN MY HEART UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN. KEEGAN AND I WENT TO YOUR RESTING PLACE TODAY. I'M SO HAPPY WITH THE SPOT I CHOOSE FOR YOU. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL TREE ACROSS THE ROAD WITH A BENCH UNDER IT, ROLLING HILLS OFF TO THE SIDE, PRETTY PURPLE FLOWERS ON THE BACK WALL, AND THE GIRL BESIDE YOU WAS CLOSE IN AGE AND SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE LITTLE PROFESSOR BOOK STORE (HOW APPROPRIATE SINCE YOU LOVED TO READ). SARAH, I PROMISE YOU THAT KEEGAN WILL ALWAYS KNOW YOU, YOUR FACE, YOUR VOICE, YOUR BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY, EVERYTHING YOU ARE, SHE WILL KNOW. WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MIKE, AND EACH OTHER. YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN SUCH A COMFORT AND BLESSING THROUGH ALL OF THIS, AND I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT THEM. WE LOVE THEM ALL SO DEARLY. EVEN COMPLETE STRANGERS HAVE BLESSED US WITH THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, AND MADE THIS SOMEHOW A LITTLE MORE BEARABLE. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER, AND I'LL ALWAYS CARRY YOU WITH ME, MY PRECIOUS SARAH.
CommentsSARAH- When I got the call and heard what happened, I froze and just started crying. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I had just seen you like two weeks before at the mall with little Keegan, you were fine, happy smiling and everything. I love you so much, I'm not ready for you to be gone already. I remember I used to look up to you for the longest time, I always wanted to be more like you. You were always so strong and tough, and yet compassionate and loving all at the same time. I couldn't believe that you were a mommy, and yet it looked so prefect all at the same time. You and Keegan look so alike, I can't wait to see her all grown up I bet she'll look just like you. I miss you so much you don't even know. I never thought that anything like this would happen to someone I know. Don't forget all the good times from Girl Scouts with Miss Deniece, and cheerleading. **MRS. DENNIS- I am so sorry for your lose. You raised the most loving, caring, beautiful, and comical daughter I've ever met. No parents should ever have to bury a child. I'm so sorry. I know that Sarah will be up there watching all of us and keeping us out of trouble. Keegan will always be loved and cared for by all of us. I truly wish that Keegan could have known her mommy better they would have gotten along perfectly. **KEEGAN- I know that you will make your mom so proud. She was a wonderful person inside and out. We all will be there for you whenever you need us. Remember you are never alone. I LOVE SARAH!! I guess god really does work in mysterious ways, you will always be in my prays. Goodbye Sarah, I'll see ya soon okay ( save me good spot ).
CommentsSWEET SARAH, WE WON'T FORGET ABOUT YOU...EVER!
CommentsSarah- Friday was your celebration of life and everything has hit me so hard. Your family put on such an amazing ceremony for you with everything that you would have wanted. The burial was the hardest part for me...to touch your beautiful pink casket, knowing that you lay peacefully underneath and to say goodbye hurt me so bad. I left for the river later that day and I cried and cried and all weekend I couldn't stop thinking about you and your precious baby, Keegan and how wonderful your family is. I wanted to tell everybody your story because you are a hero to me and a beautiful angel. Your mom came up to me to tell me to come by to visit and tell Keegan stories and I can't wait! I want to tell her so many things about how great you are. I am going to be here for your family no matter what! You are always in my heart. It gives me hope that I will see you again someday in heaven.
CommentsTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT FORGETTING MY SARAH. THANK YOU BONNIE FOR SPENDING TIME WITH ME TODAY AND GOING TO SARAH'S GRAVE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS YOU ARRANGED. IT REALLY COMFORTED ME. SHELLY AND HEIDI, I WAS SO TOUCHED TO SEE YOU ARRIVING AS WE WERE LEAVING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS ALL SO FRESH AND NEW, AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO INCREDIBLE. I, WE LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. DON'T FORGET TO COME VISIT KEEGAN. I WANT HER TO HEAR ABOUT HER MOMMY. LOVE, DEBBIE
CommentsFriday was perfect. It was absolutely beautiful and I know you loved it and thought it was perfect too! Your baby looked so beautiful, as did your great family and your boyfriend. I still can't believe this has happened to my Sarah1... it hurts me so much to think about all of this and the loss in which we have all experienced. Later that night, I went home and needed to find all of our pictures together. I came across a CD of the time where you came to encinitas with me and we got a hotel room. You Justin Lance Anthony and I. We had so much fun and they just loved you. Every picture was "blaaaah, whatever!" or LAATER! It made me sad, yet smile. Every time I think of the times we shared, i can hear your voice and see your face! I love you so much and I thank god for Blessing me with the memories that we all shared with you. Your mom and the whole family looked so beautiful FRiday Sarah, I know you were so happy yet so sad too! Dennis Family- I could not have asked for a better friend than i found in your daughter! Her and I have shared some crazy times and some in which have been my favorite memories. You are blessed with a great granddaughter and Mike, I know you could not have asked for more. I just wanted to say that Friday was absolutely beautiful, it was beyond perfect and I was so thankful to be sitting there with everyone. Keep your heads high, although we all know how hard this is. Sarah, You're the best and You'll be in everyone's memories until we all get to meet with you again. Thanks for everything. I love you!!
CommentsSarah...I love you so much and wanted you to know how wonderful you have been throughout the years. You have this presence that makes everyone around you love you. I will always remember going to your house and just sitting there with you and your sisters and your mom, talking about all you girls when you were little. One memory that stands out in my mind was one of you and Jenny at Christmas that you always use to re-inact. You were both very little, and you had got a present from Santa that you did not want to share. So you kept telling Jenny in your little voice (I can still hear it) "Maybe Later, I said Maybe later...I'm gonna go put it in my room so nobody can get it!" Thank you for all the memories you have shared with me, I will cherish them and tell them often! I love you and your family so much...you are in my thoughts always. Love, Lauri xoxo
CommentsHey SARAH, what are you up to, watcha doing, I've been pursuing, trying to write you while my mind is still brewing. I stayed up all night, until I saw the daylight, thinking what to say and how to make it sound right. Well, now it is morning so I say good day, part of me wants to go out and play, but I stay instead because of the thoughts in my head, at least I'm out of bed, did you know, my favorite color is also red? Guess what Sarah, I bought something to wear, some people stare and ask "What you got there?", even though it's bare I use it all the time to remember you are there, and then I say a prayer. It is like a soldiers dog tags, about the size of a tea bag, and it's there to remind me like a little flag. SARAH DENNIS is what it reads, to remind me of your good deeds, I touch it all the time like a stack of prayer beads, and trust me when I say of all the jewelry it exceeds, and the border is in pink, I had to stop and think, what would people say, would they walk by and wink, that would really stink, but then I stop and think, I wear it for pride, how you made everyone feel inside, so if I wanna keep you by my side, I wear it with my eyes open wide. The picture is of you in your black dress, showing your success and lack of any stress, and yes, it shows your beautiful smile, your sweet and sassy style, and all the while, you are just showing that you were truly versatile. Last but not least is the wonderful fruit, that is under your suit, and Sarah darling, it looks so cute, it is not a cherry, or anything dairy, it is none other than the famous strawberry, it is kinda scary, of all the things that my necklace would carry, but on the contrary, I wear it all with you in mind, you were always kind, and one thing I find, it wasn't just me but all mankind, we all adored you for who you were, and I concure, at times you caused a bit of a stir, but you as a friend is what I prefer. You will remain in our hearts until we meet again, please help us start to mend, dance with us when it starts to rain, although there are things I could never explain, I have no reason to ever complain, because SARAH DENNIS, you were and are forever a true friend.
CommentsI was inspired to write a poem, shared it with a few people and was told to post it. If you read the first letter of each sentence, it reads the title. "SARAH DENNIS WE LOVE OUR LIL ANGEL" Sweet mommy, please don’t cry for me Always remember, now I live freely Really happy in a home without pain And I will never feel loneliness again Having my spirit taken to this better place Displayed the joyful expression on Grandpa’s face Even now I blame no one for what has been done Never forget, I’m still having fun Now it’s time to continue the journey Into unseen amazing territory So maybe I was taken a little bit too early Well now, I’m guarded safely by gates so pearly Even though it’s strange but not completely odd Love my new friend and his name is God Oh I want you to know the things I miss so much Very loving kisses, the hugs, and gentle touch Every moment, I watch over you in a special way Outside and inside, all throughout the day Understand that saying “Angels all around you” Ready for this, I have checked and yes it’s true Like the saying goes, they watch every move you make I am with them now to ease you when you ache Listen very closely because there’s something you should hear All of you may put to rest all your doubts and fears Now as my body stopped working a little after seven God was next to me as we listened to you from heaven Eventually slipped in the coma, but my pain was already through Last but not least, SMILE, the love we have continues!
CommentsSarah I hope that you are reading this right now...Even though you are now in a better place, it is hard to think that you will never be here with us again....We had some fun times that I will never forget..I want you to know how much I love and care about you and your family!
Commentssarah, you were a great friend, I will truly miss you very much. workin at the mall with you was great times. remember shmita!! LOL, sarah martens and mel just going to our work and just hanging out there like bums, man, we were trouble. DENNIS FAMILY, you guys are a great family, my family and I, are here for anything, just call. KEEGS, your mom was a great person, and loves you very much, she brought laughter to everyone. ALL HER FRIENDS,are best friends anyone could ask for especially you MELISSA. love you sarah
CommentsHey my beautiful angel! I miss you...just wanted to tell you that I love you and I went to your resting place with your mommy, melissa, keegan, sarah hotka and makaila. You had so many flowers..it was a pretty sight. It is the 4th of July today...so happy fourth! Anyways, I love you and makaila and keegan are so cute together...you already know that though! Love you hun
CommentsMy big sis, I don’t know what to say everyone keeps telling me to leave you a comment but then I will have to realize that it is true and I am not just in a dream and I need to wakeup...oh Sarah I miss you more then you could ever know. If only I knew this would happen to you I would have helped out a lil more and stayed with you every waking moment in the hospital. I wish I could have spent more time with you the last few years but I know I was to young and you had to protect me:) I wish you were back in your room screaming at me and telling me I was annoying and acting like a child. I know we didn’t get along all the time but we are still sisters and we always got over the stupid fights about clothes and as mom would say love one another hehe Well today was the forth of July and guess what.... your lil keegan loved the fireworks just like you she couldn’t keep her eyes of them, mom held her in her arms while she stared into the sky. I don’t know what to do it was so weird you not being there with the family and the whole group, I can’t even imagine what your birthday and Christmas are going to be like. Well I guess I will have to put my heart back together one piece at a time. You will always be in my mind and heart and MAYBE LATER I will see you up there ps mom is letting me get your tattoo hehe
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I WENT OUTSIDE AND STARED AT THE SKY AND ALL THE STARS, AND THOUGHT ABOUT HOW FAR AWAY THEY ARE, AND HOW HEAVEN IS FURTHER THAN THAT. THAT'S REALLY FAR AWAY! IT MADE ME SO SAD. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE STARS FOR AWHILE. I WISH I COULD GET TO KNOWING THAT YOUR GONE, BUT IT JUST HURTS TOO BAD. I LAID IN BED CRYING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, JUST SAYING I MISS MY SARAH. I WANT TO RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR, AS YOU LOVED SO MUCH, BUT INSTEAD ALL I CAN DO IS RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS AT YOUR GRAVE. THAT'S WHY I GO EACH DAY. IT JUST COMFORTS ME. I THANK GOD FOR YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN. IF I DIDN'T HAVE HER HOW WOULD I GET THROUGH THIS. WHEN I LOOK INTO HER PRECIOUS LITTLE FACE, THERE YOU ARE. I WONDER HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR A BROKEN HEART TO MEND? OR CAN IT? THE WORLD KEEPS GOING ON, WITHOUT YOU, AND I WONDER HOW CAN THAT BE? THIS IS ALL SO HARD TO EXCEPT! EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO THOUGHTFUL, AND ALTHOUGH I LOVE THEM FOR IT, I'D RATHER JUST HAVE YOU BACK. I TRY NOT TO ASK WHY, BUT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW, WHY, WHY, WHY? IT'S ALL SO UNBELIEVABLE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY! I GUESS GOD NEEDED SOME ENTERTAINMENT WAY UP THERE IN HEAVEN. OR MAYBE HE NEEDED SOMEONE WHO WOULD GET THE JOB DONE WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART. YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN. STRONG, FUNNY, STRAIGHT FORWARD, DETERMINED, LOYAL, AND LOVING. YOU'RE EVERYTHING I COULD HOPE TO BE. I GUESS THE PASTOR WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID THE PORTRAIT WAS FINISHED. IT WAS A MASTERPIECE. I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsEmily and aunt Debby, i'd like to know what tattoo you are both talking about. I was going to get one in memory of Sarah and I just want to get the right one.
CommentsGIVE US A CALL ABOUT THE TATTOO, O.K. LOVE, AUNT DEBBIE
Commentsi miss you and i love you so much. I can't wait to come visit you this weekend at your resting place. Your mom picked the most perfect spot ever!!! You're in my heart always Sarah1. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!<3
CommentsChuck in these very hard times my thoughts are with you and your family. It is hard to understand why God takes away beautiful people when he does, he works in mysterious ways. Sorry for your loss Sorayda Vasquez
CommentsHello Sarah. I know I do not know you but, I saw your Mom today at the Sports Park and she introduced me to your Daughter! She is so beautiful!!! God Bless you and your Family!

CommentsSarah...I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. I check your website everyday to read all the wonderful things people have to say to you. It helps me to know that I am communicating with you in some way and that you can read this and know that I love you! I look forward to being in Temecula again so that I can visit you and bring you beautiful bright pink flowers! Love, Lauri xoxo
Comments*sarah* every time i walk into the mall i cant help to look up at the sunglass stand like i always used to do to see if u were working...id sit there for hours talking to u.. wed always mess around being mean to each other...i could tell u anything.. and u'd give the absolute best advice...u were such a role model to me.. u still are...you'd come in to my work and id give u free baby clothes or keegan...i am so thankful to have met u and that u were part of my life.. and u will always be in my heart...I LOVE YOU SARAH!
CommentsSarah, I did not know you but I know a few of your friends. I just wanted to let you and your family know that they are in my prayers. I'm not sure why because I never knew you but your passing had a huge affect on me. Hearing my friends talk about you and seeing what your family and friends have written about you only tell me that you were an amazing person. You are safe in the Lords arms now and I know that you have a wonderful family and friends who are going to watch over your gorgeous daughter. RIP. God Bless!
CommentsSarah, I've never met you or your family. I'm an old pal of Mike's and have been devastate since I learned about everything that's happened. How can something like this happen to such a lovely young lady? I just had to write and say how moved I am by the messages from your mom - they leave me in tears. It urges me to call my mom just to tell her how much I love her. Life is so precious and it's so important not to let a day go by without making sure that those we love know how we feel. Thank you for reminding me of this. Peace to you, Sarah, and to your family and friends, and to my friend Mike.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS. WE WERE ALL SO BUSY MAKING EVERYTHING SO PERFECT FOR YOUR CELEBRATION OF LIFE, AND THAT FIRST WEEK FLEW BY SO FAST. THE SECOND WEEK WAS SPENT COLLECTING DOCTOR FILES TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED. TIME IS GOING SO FAST AND IT UPSETS ME. I WANT TO GO BACK AND MAKE IT ALL RIGHT, BUT I CAN'T. I FEEL SO HELPLESS. YOU ASKED ME TO PROMISE THAT I WOULD TAKE GOOD CARE OF KEEGAN, AND SHE'S DOING GREAT. SHE ROLLED OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME JUNE 28TH, SHE SAT UP ON EMILY'S BED THE OTHER DAY, SHE HAS HELD HER BOTTLE ALL BY HERSELF A FEW TIMES, AND SHE'S WORKING REALLY HARD ON TRYING TO CUT HER FIRST TOOTH. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED IN JUST THE SHORT TIME THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GONE. I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE IT ALL. WE WENT TO THE MALL TO THE BUILD A BEAR PLACE TO COPY THE VOICE BOX FROM THE BEAR THAT YOU TOLD HER YOU LOVE HER ON. I MADE A FEW COPIES SO I CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO COPY IT AGAIN SO SHE WILL ALWAYS HEAR YOUR VOICE AND HOW YOU LOVE HER. I ALSO BOUGHT HER A BABY KEY CHAIN THAT HOLDS PICTURES SO I CAN PUT A FEW PICTURES OF YOU IN IT AND ONE OF MIKE. SHE'LL ALWAYS KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU, AND HOW DEEPLY YOU LOVE HER. KEEGAN AND I SPENT SOME TIME WITH MIKE TODAY. NIGHT TIME SEEMS TO BE HARDEST ON ME. I HAVE MORE TIME TO MISS YOU. I'M SO GLAD THAT I CAN CUDDLE WITH KEEGAN WHEN I'M FEELING SAD BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE WHEN I LOOK AT HER. THANK YOU FOR PRECIOUS KEEGAN. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. MORE THAN ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY. HUGS, KISSES AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH PUPCAKE MISSES YOU. I DON'T DARE LET HER HEAR ME SAY MAMA OR SHE RUNS UP TO YOUR ROOM LOOKING FOR YOU. SHE SLEEPS ON ONE OF YOUR PAIRS OF PAJAMAS THAT I BROUGHT IN MY BED TO CUDDLE. SO SHE IS ALWAYS CLOSE TO MY HEAD. SUGAR MISSES YOU TOO. YOU'D BE SO SURPRISED, AUNT SUSAN, JERI, AND EVERYONE GET ALONG WITH BOTH THE DOGS NOW. SORRY YOU'RE NOT HERE TO SEE IT, I KNOW YOU ALWAYS WANTED THAT . LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI just wanted to remind you that I miss you. I come on here everyday, even though it makes me sad and I always start to cry (and im at work!) This should have never happened to you Sarah, never. It's still a shock to so many people =( Your mom has the most beautiful things to say to you and I know you'd love to see her again! And your baby Keegs.<3 Keep your head high and I can't wait to come visit you this weekend! I LOVE YOU SARAH1<3<3
CommentsSarah, you are such a pillar of strength to me. I still can't really believe this all happened and when I look at the beautiful pictures of you and of Keegan you make me feel that this life is worth fighting for. You are an amazing, beautiful, STRONG person and I'm so happy to know you.
Commentshey Miss Sarah!!!! I must admit that I too have been coming online just to see all the wonderful things that have been written about you, it truly keeps you alive in our hearts. I was able to go to your beautiful service last week but i honestly couldn't bear the thought seeing you be burried. So I still have yet to see the beautiful place your family choose to lay you. I know you saw how beautiful the service was. I loved the songs they played so much that i downloaded them onto my ipod! I think of you every time i play them. So Miss sarah what did you do when you finally met God... I could only imagine. Every time i pass the cemetery where you were buried I always say hi. It happens to be right next to my church, so when i go to church i pray for you and your family. You have inspired me to be more religious and to savor each day given to me. I now make it point to live it day as if it were my last because who knows when my portrait will be perfect.
CommentsSarah Sweetie- I think of you every day all the time and talk to others about you. Everyone knows you and your family! What an impact you have had on touching so many lives! It's still hard to believe that you are not here. I am so blessed to have had you in my life and for you to be a wonderful role model and example to my kids. I look up to you in so many ways. Even though you are not here on earth you are in so many hearts and have left so much for Keegan to know all about you. She will always and forever look up to her mommy! Love you and your sweet family and always will. See you soon. XO
CommentsI am very sorry for the loss of your daughter. I did not know her very long but in the short time I knew her I feel truly blessed to call her my friend. My heart goes out to all her family and friends. She is truly loved my everyone at the mall and her presence will be missed. Just know that times heals all wounds and you are blessed to have a piece of her you can still love in Keegan. Lastly to my friend Mike show your love for Sarah everyday in your actions and words to Keegan. From everyone in The Promenade management team to The Dennis Family we will keep you in our prayers.
Commentsdear sarah i wanted to let you now you are in a better place and your mom will always be thinking about you and that she will always be in your heart. And i will always remember the good times we had. Also I wanted to let you now you are very very pretty i wish I was Just as pretty as you.

I love very much and give you all my love and heart. I will miss you. goodbye sarah.
CommentsCousin Debbie, Chuck, Jenny, Emily and Keegan, Love is, being together in good and bad times, Being honest with yourself and each other.

Commentsi cry... i cry for you sarah ( i know how much you wanted and absolutely loved your beautiful keegan)... i cry for you keegan (because you will never get to see the love your mommy had for you and how devoted she was to your well-being; you'll only get to hear all the marvelous stories about her)... i cry for you melissa (because i cannot imagine losing my best friend in the world so suddenly, my other half)... and i cry for you sarah's family ( because although you raised a daughter that was so influencial to so many, she was taken from us so soon).... i cry.... i cry every time i see the pictures, read the messages, see happy babies.... i cry
CommentsI miss you Sarah…. I brought you some flowers on Friday afternoon and ended up just sitting there for like 45 minutes thinking about old times and life in general. Life is so precious and I thank you for reminding me of that…. For the past two weeks I have learned to stop and appreciate every little detail of life, whether it be good or bad. Things that I used to get so worked up over are now just a small commodity in my life. When I read the comments that people have left for you on your website it amazes me to see how many lives you have touched or influenced in such a short amount of time .….including mine. I keep thinking about what I would have done or said differently if only I would have known that the last time I saw you was actually going to be the very last. I guess that’s life’s way of reminding you to appreciate every single moment you have with people. So now I try to savor that last memory and pray that I will never forget all of the things that made you so much fun to be with. We both lived our own lives and have gone our separate ways since high school but it was always so good to see you when I could. I loved how we were able to just pick up right where we left off, which is something that I will never forget about you. In the end, I guess all I really wish I could say to you is that I truly did appreciate all of the moments we shared and you will forever be in my heart.
CommentsWoke up this morning to check Sarah's website before going to church...as I do each day a few times...I am touched each time I come here...new pictures are posted that have pulled at my heartstrings again, reminding me of how precious life is...what a beautiful family the Dennis's are...letting us look into their lives at such a difficult time...thank you...the memories of Sarah warm my heart but make me sad to...Baby Keegan looks just like her Mommy...beautiful...Sarah has touched my heart forever...keeping you all in my prayers that each day may become a little softer to bear...Sarah will never be forgotten...she had a purpose...just look around on how many lives she touched...may we do the same...xo xo xo xo
Commentssarah, i dreamed (or dreamt? i don't know) about you the other night. you were still around and i was at a party with you and of course you were the center of attention, making everyone laugh at what had been a really boring party until you showed up. when i woke up i thought i that you dying had just been a dream, and was half way out of bed before i realized that it wasn't. it is so weird with you gone, almost everyone keeps on living life like they had, only nothing feels the same anymore. you were like a big sister to me, even though i already have two big sisters, i always wanted your approval in my life. i really looked up to you and tried to impress you or at least make you laugh. but really, in the end you impressed me. you grew up right away when keegs was born, i already said this but you were such a good mommy. sometimes when i hear your voice in the build-a-bear i just want to cry because i wish keegan had more of you, the best mommy she could ever hope for. i love you so much sarah, i miss you
CommentsSarah today I was at church and I saw you Mom. My mom was with me and we saw little Keegan. She is so Pretty I know she will grow up to be just like her mom.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I JUST HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR MIKE. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HIM, BUT WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TALK THE OTHER DAY, AND I LOVE HIM EVEN DEEPER. HE TOLD ME YOU HAD TALKED TO HIM ABOUT LITTLE KEEGAN, AND WERE GOING TO SHARE HER AND ALWAYS LIVE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, WE'LL ALWAYS BE FAMILY. I WAS SO RELIEVED BECAUSE I COULDN'T BARE THE THOUGHT OF NOT KEEPING MY PROMISE TO YOU. KEEGAN IS DOING WELL, I TALK ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY. I SHOW HER DIFFERENT PICTURES OF YOU AND I SAY MAMA, MAMA, AND SHE JUST STARES AT THEM, STUDYING THEM. WE PLAY THE LITTLE VOICE BOX WITH YOUR RECORDING ON IT, AND SHE SMILES. SHE'LL ALWAYS KNOW YOU. KEEGAN AND I PUT A BEAUTIFUL HOT PINK ROSE WITH A LITTLE MESSAGE ON IT FROM HER ON YOUR RESTING PLACE. WE MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH. MIKE'S PARENTS CAME TO VISIT, THEY REALLY MISS YOU TOO. MELISSA IS SO LOST WITHOUT YOU. I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH HER, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME, SHE MISSES YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH. ALL THE LITTLE THINGS IN EACH DAY ARE JUST NOT THE SAME FOR HER WITHOUT HER VERY DEAREST FRIEND. MANDYKINS MOVED BACK FROM TEXAS BECAUSE OF LOSING YOU. BETH MISSES YOU CALLING HER NAMES, AND IN RETURN SHE DID THE SAME TO YOU. SHE ALSO MISSES YOUR ADVICE. YOUR FAMILY JUST PLAIN MISSES YOU, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. I MISS TAKING CARE OF YOU. I MISS HOW YOU LOVED TO IMITATE ME, AND SO MANY OTHERS. YOU WERE REALLY GOOD AT IT. YOU MADE US EVEN MORE FUNNY AND INTERESTING THAN WE REALLY WERE. I MISS OUR HEART TO HEART TALKS, TOUCHING, MY FINGERS RUNNING THROUGH YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR, AND THE WAY YOU SAID (AS CUTE AS COULD BE) I LOVE YOU MOMMY. I LOVE YOU TOO BABY. I LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND ALWAYS. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI just wanted to express my condolences to Sarah's family. After reading all these messages, it's clear that she was an amazing woman and that she brought sunshine into every life she touched.
Commentsi went through all of my pictures this weekend. I found so many throughout the years. Of course it made me cry and miss you even more, but i just wanted to let you know how beautiful you are!! I remember in 10th grade you said to me "I love the way you do your make up. You have to show me how you do it!" Then for winter formal in 11th grade, we went to get our hair done together at Kats house, and I did your make up! I found all the pictures my mom took of us at my house, and I remember being late cause we couldn't stop messing with our hair and dresses, and we couldn't take enough pictures! I just loved everything we did. Melissa and I have yet to go to Stadium for double stampers!!.. and just sit there together like we always did just laughing and talking about nothing. The littlest things made us laugh. To this day, no one is louder than we were together! i love you sarah. I miss you more than you'll ever know!!!!
CommentsI just got off the phone with Enfamil and their going to send me a case formula to help out. I don't how I did it. I guess I can say I'm just good. I am also having some Pampers coupons sent to me. When I get them I will give them to the Dennis Family. God Bless.
CommentsHi, Sarah. I've been touched by all the beautiful words written by so many. I met you a few times, when you were younger and babysitting the Jaeger kids next door. Oh, how that family loves and adores you...and your family! You always had a smile and were so sweet. I told you how much I loved your name, Sarah, because that's what I named all my baby dolls when I was little and I promised myself that I would name my baby girl Sarah (but that hasn't happened YET...) By the way, I am Shelli Jaeger's sister. =) My kids and I were going with Shelli's family out of town on July 3rd but couldn't leave town without visiting your resting place with flowers and a flag in honor of the 4th of July. We saw your pretty MOM leaving with a friend as we were walking up. It was so nice to meet her and see her. Shelli sweetly made sure your flowers were just perfect for ya. So, that set the mood for our ride and our trip began. We listened to James Blunt, "You're Beautiful" and really felt you as he sang about an angel. My 4year old daughter, Hailey, who has heard a lot about you recently, just began to talk about you. She asked me if you had wings and said you were with Heavenly Father in heaven. Then she said, "Sarah will always be in my heart." My eyes began to water because she talked as if she knew you. She talks about you a lot. I just had to share that with you. I just shows how your life has influenced so many and how much you are loved, even by a 4 year old who has never met you (well, at least not on earth) but believes she has because of stories of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers when you were in the hospital. My friend read about you on this site and says she cried like a baby and wishes there were more people on this earth like you. Well, thanks for letting me take up some space for a few words. You're beautiful. I am touched by your life and your masterpiece painting. I will never look at hot pink and black the same way again! With love! xoxoxo
CommentsSarah, You have always shined! There was something about you that drew everyone to you, while you were here with us on earth. And now that you are with our Heavenly Father, people are still being drawn to your beautiful kind spirit. Your smile, warmth and genuine essence is how we remember you! When Paul called, to tell us the very sad news, the girls and I immediately kneeled, and prayed for your speedy and complete recovery. Then I called Emily to offer support. She had been trying to bottle feed Keegan. I offered to help, but she said she had everything under control. And I knew that Keegan was so blessed, to have such a dedicated and loving Auntie such as Emily! She always took such good care of our girls. As I look back to the times we were so blessed to have you baby sit, and the countless times we would go to the mall, and visit with you at the sunglass stand I am grateful. I still have the memory of us looking for you, and saying to Emilee, Sarah and Makenzie... "Look who's working to day!" and all three would run over to you, to receive a hug and smile. My Sarah and you always were bonded...She really loved you! You both even had the same nickname. Just yesterday Makenzie and I sat together and viewed the slide-show of you. She's only five years old and she understood what truly has taken place. She asked me if you were with Jesus? I said "yes," then she asked "After she visits with Jesus, can Sarah come back to visit us?' I said "no sweetie," but someday we will" She then responded with " mommy I am going to miss her" We both hugged. Emilee has a song she wants to sing for your family she's been practicing. She expresses her feelings that way. I have to say that when we left two days after your hospitalization, it was hard.. vacation was almost two weeks and I prayed for you each and every day. When we returned and I heard the news I felt the breath knocked out of me! I called on the very day you were laid to rest. We all were so shocked and very very sad! A day or so later, I had the privilege of spending time with your mother at your resting place. We watched the sun go down, as your dear sweet mother shared her feelings and memories. It was so beautiful there. I hope to visit with the girls at that same time of day, soon. ...We'll always love, and remember you, and plan to get to know your beautiful sweet Keegan, and be there for your family, much love...The Phelps Family
CommentsBeing a Mother and having children of the same age breaks my heart when I hear of your lost. But I can see the love in Keegan eyes from Sarah and it is true the miracle of birth is the greatest blessing Sarah has passed on to her family.
CommentsSarah, I know that you are able to see all of these wonderful comments while you are resting in heaven. There are tons of people who love you and it is very nice to see that they share their thoughts on this board. My family and I miss you tons. The boys (David, Brad, and Kevin) are all sad and we wish we could see you again. We know that you are in a better place now, and God is taking great care of you. I am glad to know that your Mom is taking wonderful care of little Keegan and she will grow up knowing that there are plenty of people in this world that love her. You have made a huge impact on many people's lives your short time here. I am constantly praying for you and your family through this hard time. Your sisters love you very much and im sure that they are going be ok. We love you Sarah, rest in peace.
CommentsMY SARAH, TODAY WAS A REALLY HARD DAY. I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU AND HOW MUCH I MISS YOU. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN THIS FOG THAT I CAN'T FIND MY WAY OUT OF. I TRY TO BE HAPPY, AND I DO SMILE SOME, BUT UNDERNEATH IT ALL, I'M BROKEN INTO A MILLION PIECES. I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU, AND HUG YOU, AND NEVER LET GO. BUT I HAD TO LET GO AND IT HURTS SO BAD. I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH A HORRIBLE PAIN, MY HEART IS SO BROKEN. I WISH I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO SAVE YOU. WHY WOULDN'T ANYONE LISTEN TO ME? I KEEP GOING OVER IT IN MY MIND, AND IT EATS AWAY AT ME. I THINK ABOUT ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU WERE IN, AND NO ONE HEARD ME. YOU KEPT ASKING ME IF YOU WERE GOING TO DIE, AND I TOLD YOU NO, EVEN THOUGH I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. ONCE WE FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS, I REALLY BELIEVED WITH GREAT FAITH, DETERMINATION, AND PRAYER YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE A MIRACLE RECOVERY. EVEN TOUGH I WAS REALLY SCARED, I NEVER BELIEVED YOU WOULD DIE. THAT HAUNTED ME THAT I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WOULD NOT DIE. THERE WAS A MAN AT THE HOSPITAL THAT TOLD ME THAT I WAS AN INSPIRATION TO HIM BECAUSE I COMFORTED SO MANY STRANGERS, BUT HE WAS A COMFORT TO ME WHEN HE WROTE ME A NOTE AND ASKED HIS WIFE TO GIVE IT TO ME. THE NOTE SAID "YOU TOLD YOUR DAUGHTER SHE WOULD NOT DIE, THAT WAS THE TRUTH, TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD, YOUR DAUGHTER IS VERY MUCH ALIVE!" WHEN THE DOCTOR CAME IN EARLY IN THE MORNING AND TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE BRAIN DEAD, I JUST KEPT SAYING NO, NO, NO. I BEGGED HER FOR A SPECK OF A HOPE OF A MIRACLE, SHE JUST KEPT SHAKING HER HEAD WITH TEARS IN HER EYES, AND I KEPT SAYING NO, NO. IT WAS HOURS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CRY, I JUST COULDN'T EXCEPT IT BECAUSE I STILL BELIEVED I WAS GOING TO GET MY MIRACLE. WHEN EVERYONE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL, THEY CRIED, BUT I COULDN'T, I STILL WANTED MY MIRACLE. IT IS A VERY LONG PROCESS TO DECLARE SOMEONE BRAIN DEAD. IT TAKES MANY, MANY HOURS, AND ALL THROUGH IT I STILL HUNG ON TO A SHRED OF HOPE FOR A MIRACLE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST TEST, I TOLD YOU IF YOU HAD A MIRACLE IN YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THEM NOW, BUT I ALSO TOLD YOU IF YOU NEEDED TO GO HOME TO HEAVEN THAT WAS O.K. TOO. WELL WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, AND HERE I SIT MISSING YOU, AS SO MANY OTHERS DO. SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY IT IS THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOUR GREAT GRANDPA CAN LIVE TO BE ONE HUNDRED AND ONE, AND SOMEONE LIKE YOU CAN BE TAKEN SO YOUNG. IT JUST SEEMS SO UNFAIR. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED HIM, IT'S GOOD TO THINK OF YOU TWO TOGETHER. I LOVE YOU MY SARAH! HUGS, KISSES AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I WOKE UP CRYING, MISSING YOU. WHAT CAN I SAY, MY HORMONES ARE GOING CRAZY. KEEGAN IS STILL ASLEEP. I DON'T CRY MUCH IN FRONT OF HER. I LIKE FOR HER TO SEE ME HAPPY, AND SHE DOES TICKLE MY HEART. I WANT TO GET MY TATTOO SOON. I WAS GOING TO GET A STRAWBERRY ON MY ANKLE, BUT I CHANGED MY MIND. I DECIDED I'M GOING TO PUT MY TATTOO ON MY FINGERS THAT RAN THROUGH YOUR HAIR. WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING ON VACATION SOON. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GO, BUT I'M GOING TO. I WAS VERY UPSET AT THE THOUGHT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE WHILE WE'RE GONE. I TALKED TO A FEW FRIENDS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GO AS A PROXY FOR ME, SO NO DAY WILL BE MISSED. THEY ARE EVEN GOING TO CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WENT. IT'S JUST SOMETHING I NEED RIGHT NOW, A DAILY VISIT. I LOVE THEM FOR WANTING TO DO THAT FOR ME, WITHOUT QUESTION, OR JUDGMENT. THEY JUST REALLY WANT TO DO IT. I'M STILL TRYING TO GET ALL THE DOCTOR FILES IN ORDER, IT KEEPS ME REALLY BUSY. I'M TRYING TO GET THE HOUSE BACK IN ORDER, IT NEVER SEEMS TO END. BUT MOST OF ALL, I LOVE TO ROCK KEEGAN, SPEND TIME WITH LOVED ONES, AND REMEMBER YOU AND ALL THE CUTE THINGS YOU ALWAYS DID. MY SARAH, I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah...We don't know each other but I know you are hearing my prayers for you and your family. I met your mom a couple of days ago while I was getting an X-ray of my daughters heart. Your beautiful angel Keegan was playing and talking to my 4 month old son. It was precious. I thought about you the other night when my 5 year old daughter said to me "MOM...heaven is a much better place than it is here, huh?" I told her she was right. Coming from a 5 year old is surprised me. But its true... you are in a much more beautiful place with the lord. You are loved and remembered by so many people. I cry just reading the beautiful memories that everyone has of you. My daughter is 5 and needs to have another open heart surgery...and I know to have to see your kids scared or in pain is the hardest thing to go through. I just pray for your family...to give them strength and the love and support that they need right now. Beautiful Sarah may you rest in peace and always look down upon those you love. Theresa...
CommentsHey baby girl! Melissa and I are trying to make plans for this week for Stadium! I know it won't be the same without you. And im going to stop by and say hello before I head home also! It's so beautiful there Sarah, i couldn't imagine a more peaceful place for you!! I just wanted to remind you of how much I miss you and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of you! I know people say that you are in a better place, but I wish you were still here with us. I love you. And i miss your smile, your laugh, your jokes, your BLAAAHHHH! your crazy nails, everything.I LOVE YOU SARAH!
CommentsI wanted to send my love and sorrow for Sarah's family. I am so happy to see the love you have for Sarah and she was blessed to have you all. It reassures me that little Keegan will always have a life full of love that will be overflowing. God always takes care of the little ones and she will grow up with such much love and support it will be more than one person could consume- so in turn she will share it and make everyone around her know that God is good and He loves us deeply. I pray for strength and peace for everyone who love Sarah very much... Shelbie Griston and Family
CommentsSarah, i just wanted to say that i miss you a lot & think about you everyday. we weren't close friends, but it's still so weird to me that this happened. i know your in a better place though, watching over all of us & little Keegan. She is so adorable & I hope I get a chance to meet her. i read all the comments on here when i get a chance & they are all so beautiful & of course make me tear up. i keep thinking about the classes we had at msjc together last year & how you were one of the few girls i kept in touch with from girl scouts & i'm so thankful for that. we would like always run into each other at school or taco bell that one time where we saw our sign language teacher haha & remembering all those times brings a smile to my face. me, ari & jenna from girl scouts went to miss denises the week after we heard what happened & looked at all the old pictures & I remembered how much fun we had in that troop & then I saw the pic. of when i was in the hospital after surgery freshmen year & you guys all came to visit even tho the troop ended by then & you were there too.. we all miss you SO much, but we will never forget you. To the Dennis family & Sarah's friends, all of you guys continue to be in my prayers. Sarah has touched the lives of so many people, including mine.
CommentsWas she an aliance?
CommentsRest In Peace sarah..
Commentshey sweetie!! just stoppin by to say ur daughter is sooooo gorgeous and looks exactly like you!!! she's so lucky!!! me and emma cant wait to meet her. ur mom makes me cry everyday reading about u and how she has to try and be strong 4 lil keegan and every1!! i wish i could help somehow, ,besides praying and hoping and thinking about u and ur whole entire community of fam and friends. well until we meet again. me and emma r gonna come see u soon when it cools a lil. hope u r watchin over ur mommy and keegan, miss you and love you crazy red head. HTB 4 LIFE!!!
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN SLEPT SO CLOSE TO ME LAST NIGHT THAT WE WERE ALMOST ATTACHED. IT FELT GOOD HAVING HER SO CLOSE. I WISH I COULD TRADE PLACES WITH YOU SO IT WAS YOU SO CLOSE TO HER. IT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR NOT HERE WITH HER. I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVED HER. AS SICK AS YOU WERE, YOU NEVER ONCE WOKE ME UP DURING THE NIGHT TO TAKE CARE OF HER. YOU WERE AMAZING! YOU WERE ALWAYS SO FULL OF LIFE, SO DETERMINED, SO CURIOUS, BUT YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN. THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT HER MELTED MY HEART. I ALSO LOVED THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT MIKE. I KNEW HE WAS THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU STARTED EATING THINGS THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE TOUCHED FOR ANYONE ELSE. THE THINGS YOU'LL DO FOR LOVE. I FEEL LIKE YOU WERE ROBBED, WE ALL WERE. I KNOW YOUR IN THE MOST PERFECT PLACE, AND I AM COMFORTED BY THAT, BUT I STILL FEEL ROBBED BECAUSE THIS JUST SHOULDN'T BE. I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO HARD TO EXCEPT. AT TIMES I'M O.K. BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE WITH THE LORD, BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOUR NOT HERE WITH US MY HEART IS OVERCOME WITH AN UNBEARABLE PAIN THAT CONSUMES ME. I USED TO VISIT THE CEMETERY FROM TIME TO TIME, THE GRAVES OF SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, SOME OF WHICH I KNEW, AND OTHERS I HAD HEARD ABOUT. I DID THIS BECAUSE IT BROKE MY HEART THAT SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES HERE IN TEMECULA, AND I WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT GOD HAD WATCHED OVER MY THREE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS SO CAREFULLY. I NEVER DREAMED I WOULD BE VISITING YOUR GRAVE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU. I'M NOT MAD AT GOD, IF ANYTHING I'M GRATEFUL THAT HE DIDN'T ALLOW YOU TO SUFFER ANY LONGER IF THERE WAS NO HOPE. I AM HOWEVER MAD AT THOSE WHO LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. YOU WERE ROBBED OF YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE, PRECIOUS TIME WITH KEEGAN, MIKE, ME, YOUR FAMILY, MELISSA, AND EVERYONE THAT LOVED YOU. MY SARAH, YOUR FOREVER IN WHAT'S LEFT OF MY HEART. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentsawww sarah your daughter is gorgeous
CommentsI got this as an email from my little sister today, and the first people I thought to send it to was to you. I didn't know Sarah, but this has had a huge affect on my life. I met Jenny maybe once or twice and I have some friends who were close to Sarah. Your family is in my prayers every night! ~~~~~"Footprints in the Sand" One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. "Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You most, You leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you."~~~~~
CommentsI miss you!! And I love you so much. Just thinking of you and I thought I'd say hello. <3
CommentsI didn't know Sarah personally but was acquainted with her through pickles and giggles. My prayers are with the family. Sarah isn't gone she merely left the physical and went home to heaven. She is with all of you the minute you need her. Believe that and you will feel her. Love and Blessings.
CommentsI just look at pictures of you and ask over and over- "why?" You are so amazing Sarah- i think of all the times we've had together and i ask "why" even more. Not in a million years I would have thought that this could happen to you. I miss you so much and I'd do anything to go back to the years that we spent almost everyday together. I am upset, just like everyone else, at the people who could do this to you. We are happy that you are not suffering and in pain, but this was not the right answer. =( I love you!
CommentsMY SARAH, TODAY WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS I HAVE HAD. MY HEART IS SO HEAVY, MISSING YOU BEYOND WORDS. I JUST KEEP SHAKING MY HEAD AND ASKING WHY. IT'S SO JUST SO HARD TO EXCEPT BECAUSE IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. WHEN I WATCH PEOPLE WITH YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN I THINK THAT SHOULD BE MY SARAH WITH HER PRECIOUS KEEGAN. I LOVE THAT THEY ALL LOVE HER AND SPEND TIME WITH HER, BUT I'M ALMOST JEALOUS THAT IT'S NOT YOU. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND ADORE HER. KEEGAN AND I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE TODAY, AS I GO EACH DAY. KEEGAN SLEPT IN HER CARRIER, AS I CRIED MY EYES OUT MISSING YOU. I GUESS IT JUST TAKES TIME. I KEEP THINKING YOUR GOING TO COME WALKING INTO THE HOUSE. MANDYKINS AND I WENT TO LOOK AT HEADSTONES FOR YOU. I'M GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO MAKE SURE IT IS PERFECT, IT HAS TO BE PERFECT. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOU HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsTo Sarah's mom and her family, You don't know me but I heard from Sarah from a post someone put on My space. I feel connected to you in many ways although on this earth we are strangers. I'm pregnant and looking at Sarah's pregnancy pictures made me feel a sort of bond to her as only pregnant women can have with each other. And reading the messages from Sarah's Mommy broke my heart because I'm the mommy of two girls so I know the tremendous love you have for your baby girl. I cannot know how horrible the feeling is to lose you baby, but I do know how AWESOME our LORD is and I Praise Him for being so loving and so merciful that we can come to Him even at life's most terrible moments. GOD knows the pain of losing a child because His Son died on that rugged cross for our sins and I rejoice that you know HIM and that He's in your life! I will pray for all of you and specially that Keegan always knows how beautiful and amazing her mommy was and that she like her mommy walks with the Lord all of her life! God bless you!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU! I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE, MOMMY
CommentsSarah, You have lived and life that was taken from you to soon. You have made a very big imprint on this earth though. I have been blessed to have known you. Your daughter will know you through your mom and family and friends. I lost my dad at a young age. My family and myself would talk about him as if he were in the next room. (in the present tense) and some people would even say so what's your dad doing now....and I would pause and think ...oh my gosh! I have been talking with such love and happiness in the present tense about him that I forgot mentioned that he was no longer with us on this earth. He is still alive in my heart, so much that my kids that never got to meet him "know" him (with the help of my brother and uncle and family) Keegan will know what a honest beautiful and truly loving, caring woman her mother "is". Keep her alive for Keegan. All my prayers and love Debbie, Chuck, Jennie, Emily and Mike This is so hard on you!
CommentsSarah, As i was sitting in my room you came into my thoughts as you often do. I wondered what you were doing? I read all the nice comments people wrote especially your Mommy and it just proves how many peoples hearts you touched. You are a wonderful person. At such an early age you had a heart full of love where most girls that age dont really know what unconditional love meant. I can still hear you calling me NIRMS, WHATS UP???? (in sarah dennis tone-LOUD ans RASPY). I wished I would have been able to see you interact with Keegan but i never got the chance to meet up with you. Im sorry about that. I'm so grateful that you and Sarah2 met up and worked things out. I know she misses you. I know you know this but I went to see you at the hospital and you looked so peaceful. I kid you not, I was scared to go in but your mom went with me. She stood along side of you talking and running her fingers through your hair which gave her so much comfort. She was so strong that all my fears melted away. She loves you so much!!! I have to agree with her tho. You were robbed and so were all that loved you. It sounds so selfish but I wished you were still here for so many reasons... Well Darling thanks for coming into my thoughts, i feel so privledged. I love you, WHATEVER....... nirms
CommentsI Love You and I wish that this was a dream. =( I miss you.
CommentsOOO SARAH I TRIED SOO HARD TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE, BECAUSE WHEN I COME HERE I BALL MY EYES OUT, IT MAKES EVERYTHING REAL, AND IM NOT READY FOR IT TO BE REAL, I DON'T THINK I EVER WILL BE.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAD A BAG YOU WOULD MAKE ME EAT ALL THE GREEN AND YELLOW ONES. YOU KNOW THROUGH OUT THE DAY I FIND OUT GOSSIP LIKE USUAL ABOUT RANDOM PEOPLE AROUND TOWN AND I PRETEND LIKE IM TELLING YOU IN MY MIND ALL ABOUT IT AND I ALWAYS CATCH MYSELF LAUGHING BECAUSE I CAN ALWAYS PICTURE WHAT YOU WOULD SAY :)LAST WEEK SOMETIME I WAS HANGING OUT WITH YOUR MOM, WHICH I WANTED TO TELL YOU I KNOW WHY YOU LOVED HER SO MUCH, SHE'S AMAZING, BUT ANYWAYS WE WERE DRIVING KIND OF OVER BY RANCHO ELEMENTARY AND I TOLD HER A STORY ABOUT HOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE THERE I THINK OF THE TIME WHERE YOU HER AND I WENT AND BROUGHT BREAD AND MILK AROUND TO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T AFFORD IT. AND WE ASKED YOUR MOM WHY SHE DID THIS AND SHE SAID "BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO GOOD THINGS, GOD WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER HOUSE IN HEAVEN" HAHAH I LOVED IT! SO YOUR MOM AND I DECIDED THAT YOU HAVE A HUGE MANSION NOW, AND I CANT WAIT TO COME VISIT! WELL YOUR BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP THIS SATURDAY, SO WERE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BASH FOR YOU :) WELL MY LOVE, I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER SARE BEAR AND NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE YOU! I DON'T THINK THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE!
CommentsHey Sarah, I just wanted to tell you that you are such an inspiration. I know that we only worked together for a couple of months, but you were always really cool about everything. I think one of the last times I talked to you was when my ex's daughter was sick with a brain tumor. You told me to have faith because you told me the story of your grandfather, thank you. Say hello to my little angel Sandra for me. Rest in peace girly. I think of you often, you, your family, Mike, and Keegan are still in my prayers.
CommentsHi Sweet Sarah. Ashley, Kelsey and I went to visit your graveside. Sitting there with fingers through the grass reminded me of fingers through your hair when you were sleeping in the hospital. Sometimes hard to believe but know you are in a better place and what a beautiful little angel "Keegan" you have left behind for others to remember you! I know you know that you are loved so much by so many. XOXOXO
CommentsHEY MY LOVE...I WENT TO YOUR BURIAL SPOT TODAY. I LOVE GOING THERE BECAUSE EACH AND EVERY TIME THERE ARE FLOWERS OR CARDS AND LITTLE WINDMILLS. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I HEARD THIS QUOTE AND IT BRINGS SO MUCH PEACE TO MY HEART AND I TOLD YOUR MOM TODAY AND I MADE HER CRY...BUT IT WAS A GOOD CRY! I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU AND TO WHOEVER ELSE MAY READ IT... "FOR EVERY 1,000 YEARS ON EARTH IS SIMPLY 1 DAY IN HEAVEN." THAT MEANS WHEN WE PASS ON YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER MISSED US BECAUSE WE WILL BE IN YOUR ARMS IN ONLY A MATTER OF SECONDS! AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO AT PEACE WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION. I DO MISS YOU AND I GET THOSE MOMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHEN I LOOK AT OUR PICTURES ON MY FRIDGE AND START TO FEEL SO SAD AND BEGIN TO CRY BECAUSE YOU ARE IN SUCH A BETTER PLACE AND I AM SELFISH LIKE ALL OF US WHO WANT YOU BACK. I MISS YOU DEARLY AND EXPECT A CALL OR GO TO THE MALL AND LOOK TO SEE IF YOU ARE AT THE CART. I UNDERSTAND THAT WON'T EVER HAPPEN BUT I ALSO HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GUARDIAN ANGEL WATCHING OVER ME AND I CAN'T COMPLAIN. WE ALL MISS YOU AND MELISSA DOES TOO. I CAN SEE IT IN HER EYES...SHE LOVED YOU SO MUCH AND I WISH I HAD A FRIENDSHIP LIKE YOU TWO! I MISS YOU AND I DO DREAM ABOUT YOU...VERY RARELY.. BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING. MISS YOU AND SEE YOU IN 2 SECONDS...HEAVEN SECONDS! :)
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, WE'RE ON VACATION BUT IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. WHEN WE WERE DOWN AT THE RIVER I SAT AND CRIED THINKING WHERE'S MY SARAH "THE LIFE OF THE PARTY"? WE TALKED ABOUT YOU A LOT SO REALLY YOU ARE WITH US EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T SEE YOU. LITTLE KEEGAN HAS BEEN IN THE WATER AND WE TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES FOR HER MEMORY BOOK. EACH TIME I WALK ALONG WITH YOUR SISTERS, I GLANCE OVER AND NOTICE THERE IS SOMEONE MISSING AND I HAVE TO CATCH MYSELF NOT TO BURST INTO TEARS. YOUR SISTERS AND I WENT SHOPPING AND WE BOUGHT A SHOT GLASS FOR YOUR COLLECTION. EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY HAVE GONE TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE AND THAT COMFORTS ME. I ESPECIALLY LOVE IT WHEN THEY CALL ME WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY AT YOUR GRAVE BECAUSE I FEEL I AM THERE WITH YOU. I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR THE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING. I CAN'T WAIT TO COME HOME TO BE IN FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS AND BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AT YOUR GRAVE. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER, HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah, last night I was putting together a photo album with pictures of my family and friends - and I stumbled across an envelope of photos from a trip to Laughlin a few years ago. What a blast from the past. There were pictures of you, Jenny, Emily, Victoria, Bianca, Jessica and myself in the water...in the hotel room getting ready for "night life"...you name it! We really loved the camera on the trip didn't we. I have the most beautiful picture of you and Jenny standing on a hill over looking the river with your arms around eachother with your backs to me - What a perfect picture! I am going to find the perfect frame now and keep you two with me forever! I love you Sarah. I wish I had told you more when I had the chance. In my heart, I believe that you can hear each and every one of our thoughts about you...and let me tell you...you must be one busy lady in heaven because there are A LOT of us thinking about you down here! Love Lauri xoxo
CommentsHey you! I found so many pictures of us, i can't wait to drop some off at your resting place. I know you'll be cracking up at how crazy we are. Good times. So many pictures from stadium and my house, and at our little spot that we were at "break" at CHS. There is one of you and i in our CHS SENIOR sweatshirts, oh how we always wore that. haha I miss you so much Sarah, I'm sure you know. This should not have happened to you- its hard not to think about the "what if's" during your time with us. It's hard not to think about what went wrong, but now you are in a better place, living in a huge mansion and im sure youre throwing parties like everynight! I love you and I'll never forget our times together. May you keep your family strong and baby keegs in your heart forever. I LOVE YOU!
CommentsMY SARAH, TODAY WE CAME HOME FROM VACATION AND I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE HOME. MELISSA, ERICA & MAKAILA, JOSH, SHAWN, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. WE ALL LOVE GOING IN THE EVENING BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A PEACEFUL TIME. TOMORROW KEEGAN WILL BE FOUR MONTHS OLD AND SHE IS REALLY GROWING. SATURDAY IS YOUR 20TH BIRTHDAY AND SOME OF US ARE HAVING A PARTY FOR YOU AND THEN LATER WILL VISIT YOUR GRAVE. ON MONDAY, THERE WILL BE A FUNDRAISER AT PAT & OSCARS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A GOOD TURNOUT. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsJust wanted to let you know that i'm thinking about you. I can't believe it's your birthday already.. where has this time gone? I'll be thinking about you, as i always do- love you.
CommentsToday I recieved an e-mail at work, it had the quote "Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same" by Falvia Weedn. I would say this is Sarah. She has touched so many people and is definately missed. We love you Sarah!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS FOUR MONTHS OLD TODAY. SHE IS GROWING LIKE A WEED. WE MISS YOU WITH HEAVY HEARTS. TOMORROW IS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I KNOW THAT IS A REALLY SPECIAL DAY, AND IT WILL BE A HARD DAY. I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY. I'VE NEVER SEEN A BABY COME OUT WITH THE FULL PERSONALITY THAT THEY WILL HAVE FOR LIFE, EXCEPT FOR YOU. YOU WERE STRONG, HONEST, AND OPINIONATED FROM BIRTH. THROUGH THE YEARS YOU WERE THE MOST DETERMINED, HARD WORKING, HONEST PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I AM SO INCREDIBLY HONORED THAT GOD BLESSED US WITH YOU FOR ALL THOSE PRECIOUS YEARS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO PROUD OF YOU, EVEN IN YOUR DEATH YOU ARE AN AMAZEMENT AND WONDER TO ME. I AM SO TOUCHED BY ALL THE LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED. YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. I CARRY YOU WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO. I TALK ABOUT YOU EVERY CHANCE I GET. I TELL YOUR STORY IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE. I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU SUFFERED THE WAY YOU DID. WE WERE BOTH SCARED, AND FELT SO HELPLESS. I WAS SO COMFORTED BY YOUR COURAGE AFTER WE HAD OUR TALK, KNOWING THAT YOU WANTED TO TRY YOUR BEST TO BEAT THE CANCER. YOU WERE SO BRAVE. KNOWING THAT YOU HAD CERTAIN TALKS WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT YOU KNEW THIS WAS A POSSIBILITY, YET YOU FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. I WAS SO HAPPY THAT YOU RESPONDED TO ME WHEN YOU WERE IN THE COMA. WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT I KNEW YOU WERE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T TALK YOU MOVED YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER, AND WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT I COULD HEAR YOU WITH MY HEART YOU MOVED YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER AGAIN, AND WHEN I TOLD YOU TO TALK TO THE LORD YOU MOVED YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER AGAIN, AND WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT I KNEW THAT YOU COULD HEAR ME AND YOU DIDN'T NEED TO MOVE YOUR SHOULDER ANYMORE SO YOU COULD REST, YOU STOPPED MOVING YOUR SHOULDER. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN, TEARS FLOWED OUT OF YOUR EYES. THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO ME RIGHT TO THE END. I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS, AND WILL FOREVER MISS YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WITH ME. I JUST MISS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE, AND ADORABLE PERSONALITY. I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, BUT I ESPECIALLY MISS WATCHING YOU WITH YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN, THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FOR HER WILL FOREVER BE FELT. I THANK GOD FOR EVERY DAY I HAD WITH YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN. IT'S JUST SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU. I HAVE THIS EMPTY, HEAVY SPOT IN MY HEART AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO CONSUME ME. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH! You will always be remembered especially on your Birthday! I will never forget your Birthday because you were born on the some day as my Mother's. Say hello to Gloria Mae for me! She is usually peeking down from a big white fluffy cloud! She is the Jaeger children's Great Grandmother. Love you sweet Sarah. We continue to pray for your dear family & Baby Keegan. Love, Maryjane, Jaeger children's Grandma xo
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! THIS IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY AND WE ALL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! WE'LL HAVE A PARTY IN HONOR OF YOU WITH YOUR FAVORITE CAKE. MELISSA AND I ARE GOING TO BAKE IT. WE'LL ALL BE OVER TO VISIT YOU WITH FLOWERS AND BALLOONS. I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah, It was 20 years ago today that you blessed this world with your presence. In your short stay, you have touched the lives of so many people. I did not know that one person in a large town can make their presence so widely known the way you did. Your heart has touched people around this area and continues to spread like a ripple in a lake. The love you have shown others is widely recognized as the favor is being returned to your family. I thank your family for letting me stay and help where I am able to. That opened my eyes to the world I never knew. If I would receive $1 for every compliment given to you, I would retire a multi-billionaire. Thank you so much Sarah for opening my eyes to this world. I believe it is not what you have in life that is important, but who you are that makes the difference. Well Sarah, you have surely left your mark in this world. I just hope that I am half the person you turned out to be. Happy Birthday Sarah, be sure to make a wish before you blow out your candles.
CommentsDear Sarah's Mom, I had someone email me your daughter's story knowing it would touch my heart. Actually it touched 3 hearts as we are choriocarcinoma survivors. I was diagnosed in Jan 2000 with this type of " rare" cancer with brain, liver, lung and kidney mets after a miscarriage 18th months prior. I underwent brain radiation, lung surgery and 8 different types of chemo in various " cocktails". It took 4 years of treatment for me to maintain remission. A very, very long journey........ My heart goes out to you and your family. I run a support group with 2 others for those going through this tragic cancer. I hope you do not mind if I share your beautiful Sarah's story.
CommentsHAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!! hope u have a great and splendid time watchin everyone celebrate your life!!! miss you and love you, gonna visit you soon!!!! xoxoxo HTB 4 LIFE!!!
CommentsHAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SARAH! 20 YEARS OLD! We all miss you so very much. I am going to your house this after noon...I miss you girly so much. I wish you could be here...I love you always! ~xoxo

Comments*Happy 20th Birthday!!! Steve and I came to visit you today to give you your b-day card and flowers. =) Looked like a lot of people celebrated your birthday down here =) Well, we really miss you and love you!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox*
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, SO MANY PEOPLE CAME TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS ESPECIALLY HARD WHEN WE SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, AND KEEGAN BLEW OUT YOUR STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CANDLE (WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM HER AUNTIE EMILY). WE HAD A LARGE GROUP VISIT YOUR GRAVE. EVERYONE LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND WE ALL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY. PEOPLE ARE STILL COMING BY EVEN NOW AS I WRITE THIS MESSAGE TO YOU. THEY ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey Sarah I know I never met you but being in your presents the last week was big for me. Even though I never knew you I felt Like I have. Your mom is a wonderful person and your sisters are also. I just wanted to say hey and you showed me the meaning of live. You showed me that I should not take things for granted. I wish the family best wishes and I have been and always will be praying for the family. Even though I didn't know the family all that well I still think of yours as mine as well.
CommentsSARAH, I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I CARED FOR YOU. YOU AND YOUR MOTHER WERE BASICALLY MY FIRST FRIENDS I HAD WHEN I MOVED HERE FROM ORANGE COUNTY. IT WAS A HARD MOVE FOR ME BUT I STARTED TO FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WOULD VISIT ME AT MY STORE. I REMEMBER ONE TIME IN PARTICULAR WHEN YOU WANTED TO BUY YOUR MOM A BIRTHDAY GIFT AND WE HAD FORGOTTEN WHAT SHE WANTED. YOU SPENT AN HOUR WITH ME TRYING TO FIND THE PERFECT GIFT FOR HER. THE FUNNY THING IS I CANT REMEMBER WHAT WE PICKED OUT FOR YOUR MOM BUT I CAN REMEMBER LEARNING IN THAT HOUR WITH YOU WHAT A CARING AND THOUGHTFUL PERSON YOU WERE. I CANT BELIEVE MORE THAN SIX YEARS HAVE GONE BY AND I WATCHED YOU GROW UP. I WISH I HAD A CHANCE TO TELL YOU WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, CARING, LOVING, AND RESPONSIBLE YOUNG WOMAN YOU HAD BECOME. EVEN THOUGH IM A LITTLE OLDER THAN YOU I WILL ALWAYS LOOK UP TO YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE AND INDEPENDENCE YOU SHOWED ME!!!!!
CommentsHappy 20TH birthday Miss Sarah, I finally had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful daughter Keegan< she is honestly one of the most beautiful babies i've ever seen. She looks so much like you. Your mom holds her with the most beautiful smile. She is so lucky to have such a loving Grandma who adores her the way your mom does. I continue to pray for your family especially your Mom and your Best friend Melissa (I may not know her but its obvious that she was more like a sister) I pray that they see you in everything they do and that eventually it will bring comfort to them. To Sarah's Mommy: I truly miss your visits to the mall, even from a distance you have become such an inspiration to me, you have really been the reason as to why Sarah's friends have kept a positive attitude. I didn't see you until recently, and didn't get the chance to tell you but i would love to visit Sarah with you one of these days. My prayers to you and your family and friends
CommentsHONEY,
CommentsSarah your birthday was amazing yesterday!! We all care about you and miss you sooo..much!! Its weird to imagine a world without my little ereners sar!! I love you so much and would do anything to bring you back, but I know that you are now in a better place!! ~Love you~
CommentsSarah We had a birthday party for you yesterday and it was amazing, all of us just shared our stories with you. It was a pot luck so I brought T.G.I.Fridays Seasame Jack Daniels strips with out any green garnish, just the way you ordered it, it's gonna be weird when all of us girls go eat at T.G.I.Fridays and I get my Coconut Chicken Strips and Melissa get her Bread stick with out extra sauce, because you two asked for more, but the server never brings extra red sauce. I guess we will have to take Keegan and have her order the Seasame Jack Daniel Strips. Sarah we all miss you so much, theirs going to be a fund raiser for you at Pat and Oscars on Monday...It is amazing how much everyone is coming together...all your friends and Family and the community...So many people loved you and your so special to us all. Keegan is amazing she is so cute and by the way I find out next month what I am having Emily and I agreed that if it is a boy we will set Keegan up with him, I'll make sure he always pays for her and always get her home on time. I love you and Miss you so Much!!! <3
CommentsHey Sarah...It's Erica and Makaila. I wanted to say Happy Birthday. I know, I know...it's a day late. Your birthday was fun. Sara and I found all this Strawberry Shortcake stuff and Sara bought some of it to decorate. It was cute. Keegan was loving the attention! She is so beautiful, just like you. We have so many pictures of Keegs and Makaila together. They held hands and we got a picture of it. It started raining when we went to the cemetery to bring you flowers. It was so beautiful outside. There was lightning and it was nice after being 120 degrees outside. Your birthday was great and we sang you happy birthday. It sounded pretty good. I love and miss you and think about you all the time. Just remember...we all don't mind if you stop by in our dreams to say hi. XOXOXO
CommentsI remember the first thing I ever said to you " wow I really love your hair" lol and we talked about paris hilton to a brazilian bikini wax . =) I found this envelope that our checks would come in and I remember u somehow got my check and took it to ur house and u got a strawberry smudge on it lol I think u said u dropped a popsicle on it ! I thought it was strange cuz I found it in my old bible I guess i used it as a book mark hmmm now I want to go back and read what it said! anyways So that's why it makes me really sad to think about the way we ended things . If we had a problem we would just call each other and then get over it. But this time we didn't we let rumors and people get to the best of us . I know we were never close but I still really wish I called u and talked to you .p.s I'll always think of u when i see a cosmo magazine !
CommentsI heard this song and thought of you . I remember you said people thought you looked like her =) slipped away by Avril Lavigne Na na, na na na, na na I miss you, miss you so bad I don't forget you, oh it's so sad I hope you can hear me I remember it clearly The day you slipped away Was the day I found it won't be the same Ooooh Na na la la la na na I didn't get around to kiss you Goodbye on the hand I wish that I could see you again I know that I can't Oooooh I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly The day you slipped away Was the day I found it won't be the same Ooooh I had my wake up Won't you wake up I keep asking why And I can't take it It wasn't fake It happened, you passed by Now your gone, now your gone There you go, there you go Somewhere I can't bring you back Now your gone, now your gone There you go, there you go, Somewhere your not coming back The day you slipped away Was the day i found it won't be the same noo.. The day you slipped away Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh... Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah I miss you
CommentsMY SARAH, I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD MISS SOMEONE AS MUCH AS I MISS YOU! I WENT TO VISIT YOU A COUPLE OF TIMES TODAY. I JUST NEEDED SOME ALONE TIME TO CRY MY EYES OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER GET USED TO THIS. YOU TOOK SUCH A HUGE PART OF ME WHEN YOU LEFT, BUT I THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KEEP A PIECE OF YOU. IT'S THE NOT SEEING, AND NOT TOUCHING THAT HURTS SO BAD. IT'S HARD TO GO INTO YOUR ROOM, IT'S SO FULL OF YOU, AND I WANT YOU TO BE IN THERE TOO. PUPS STILL LOOKS FOR YOU. I WONDER WHAT SHE'S THINKING? KEEGAN LOVES PUPCAKE AND LAUGHS AT HER WHEN SHE CHASES AFTER TOYS. PUPCAKE WATCHES OVER KEEGAN AND BECOMES VERY PROTECTIVE OF HER IF SHE THINKS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT HER. KEEGAN AND SUGAR LOVE EACH OTHER TOO. KEEGAN STILL LOVES HER BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO, AND COOS A LOT. I BOUGHT HER A BABY EINSTEIN PLAYPEN AND SHE HAS SO MUCH FUN IN IT. SHE HAS A LOT OF FUN IN CHURCH. SHE LOVES THE MUSIC AND DANCES AS SHE STANDS ON MY LEGS. SHE HAS TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON. SHE ALWAYS FALLS ASLEEP DURING THE SERMON. THE PASTOR ISN'T AT ALL BORING SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE FALLS ASLEEP, BUT SHE NEVER DISTURBS ANYONE, AND I LOVE HAVING HER IN CHURCH WITH ME. NO BABY HAS EVER RECEIVED MORE LOVE. EVERYONE IS WATCHING OUT FOR HER. I KNOW THAT BESIDES GOD, YOU LOVED HER BEST, AND I PROMISE YOU THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS KNOW THAT. I FINALLY GOT THE HOUSE BACK IN ORDER, IT FEELS GOOD! I'VE GOT TO KEEP BUSY, WHEN I SLOW DOWN I HAVE TO MUCH TIME TO THINK, AND IT HURTS SO BAD. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDEAR HEATHER J, THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME. I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE MY SARAH'S STORY WITH OTHERS. I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT AFTER YOUR LONG JOURNEY YOU WENT INTO REMISSION. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THAT LOVE YOU. DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, BUT IF IT'S ANYWHERE AROUND TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA I'D LOVE TO MEET YOU, AND GIVE YOU A REALLY BIG HUG. LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU AND YOUR GROUP. SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsI haven't seen the Dennis family in years but it seem like yesterday the last time i did. i am a friend of Jenny's. I remember coming over to the house when we (Jenny and I) were in high school, and Sarah and Emily would steal my hat and run and hide it. This went on for years. When Jenny and I got ready for prom, I felt like i was at home with them. I'm sure im not the only friend of the family that feels this way. The Dennis family is so loving and friendly and caring. If i still lived in Temecula, I am sure the they would still welcome me into their home. I miss you guys so much. I cried my eyes out when I found out about Sarah. She was the sweetest and will not be forgotten. I love you guys with all my heart. My thoughts and love are with you Dennis family. Jenny, Call me. (707) 832-2639 please!!!
CommentsHey Sarah, it took me a really long time to write to you because it just breaks my heart to think about you not being here anymore... but I want Keegan to know just how special her mommy was, as is apparent by the outpour of love by all of your amazing friends. You have always been such a special person in my life, and although we haven't been as close as we used to be, I have so much love for you. Jenny meant so much to me as a friend and when she introduced us, I adored you the second we met. You were my adopted baby sister and I loved talking to you and being there for you when you went through your goofy high school phases, especially after Jenny graduated. You are just such a beautiful, intelligent and selfless woman and I know Keegan will grow up to be just like you. You leave a memory that has touched so many hearts and we all miss you so much more than you could ever imagine. I'll continue to pray for your wonderful family everyday and you will always be in my thoughts. I love you so much little... can't wait till the day we get to see each other again....
CommentsSarah- I never got a chance to write a comment to you on your birthday so happy birthday! I went by your parents' house on your birthday to bring PINK flowers for you and them. I go to hold Keegan for the first time. It is amazing how much she looks like you. Your mom and family are doing such a wonderful job taking care of her! You would be proud. Tonight is a fundraiser for you and my mom and I are going. I really hope tons of people go to support your family! xoxo

CommentsI love you baby girl. Your birthday on Saturday was amazing. We came to visit you at your gravesite. I hope you are having the time of your life in Heaven. Love, Lauren
CommentsCousin Katie here. Just wanted you all to know I'm praying and thinking of you all EVERYDAY! I wake-up and go to sleep with ARAH on my mind. I'm so excited for what's going on tonight for Sarah! I'm sorry I won't beable to be there, but know you all are in my thoughts. You all know I'm here for you all anytime, day or night. Call me! I love you my precious SARAH! ALWAYS AND FOREVER TIL WE MEET AGAIN IN ETERNITY! Can't wait to see you cous! xoxoxo
CommentsDearest Sarah, I miss you so much and boy does your whole family they love you so much you are so lucky that the time God gave you here on earth you were in the best family anyone could ask for. Gosh I have known you since you moved here just about 10 years ago when I met Jenny in the eighth grade. Throughout this past year we have gotten a lot closer since we were preggo at the same exact time i swear i thought Keegan and Lilly were going to be born on the same exact date but no Keegan came just four days later. It was nice to have someone to relate to while being preggo. So we can have those conversations like "are you dialated yet" or "any strech marks" how about when i talked to you after I had Lilly and I lied to you and said it wasnt bad but now you know how it really was after you had Keegan you thanked me for not telling you the whole truth about labor. The last time I saw you was in the hospital and you looked so beautiful and i held your hand and of course your nails were perfectly done just as they always were. Sarah I miss you so much and I really just cant believe the little miracle you left behind she is so beautiful her and Lilly are going to be real close. I will make sure of the "PRE-Arranged BestFriends" we always talked about. I was at your house a week before you went to the hospital and you were so strong i would have never known how sick you really were. To Your Family- I Know Sarah has her GGpa up in heaven but my grandpa is up there too he died on sarahs birthday this year so they will all be celebrating until we get to be with them someday. And its going to be soon cause this life is short. Cant wait to see you at the "Pearly Gates" Sarah
Comments**Sarah** you were my first and only babysitter. You were like my other MOMMY and I loved you coming over to my house all the time because we lived two houses away. You always loved to be silly and have lots of fun. It was fun when you would have Melissa baby sit with you and go on vacation with us. I now baby sit and try to be fun like you. You taught me so many great things and I will never forget them. I like to do my hair like you every day! I miss you soooo much Sarah and get sad but when I think of Keegan is makes me happy and I think of you. I want to be the best mother like you were to Keegan and to me and my brothers and sister. I love your mom, dad and sisters so much. They are so loving to everyone just like you. It's been nice getting to know Mike and he is so funny and loves Keegan. I will always be close to your family. I can't wait to see you again. I like to visit your resting place and leave pinwheels behind. Love you Sarah (Cat Dog and Yoshi rules!)
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, THE FUNDRAISER AT PAT AND OSCAR'S WAS AMAZING. THEY SAID IT WAS THE LARGEST THEY HAD EVER HAD. SUE, CORI, CATHEY, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WORKED SO HARD WERE INCREDIBLE. COMPLETE STRANGERS WHO WERE TOUCHED BY YOUR STORY CAME TOO. THEY WERE ALL SO LOVING, AND GENEROUS. ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE DONE, MY GREATEST HOPE IS THAT PEOPLE PASS YOUR STORY ALONG. I PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. IF YOUR STORY COULD HELP SAVE A LIFE THAT WOULD BE SUCH A BLESSING. IT'S HARD TO BARE THE THOUGHT OF ANYONE ELSE SUFFERING THE WAY YOU DID. I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE AFTER WE LEFT, AND WHEN I GOT THERE ALL YOUR FLOWERS WERE GONE. THAT PERSON WHO DOES THE GRASS THREW THEM AWAY AGAIN. I GUESS HE DOESN'T LIKE MY BEAUTIFUL, EXPENSIVE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT. SO I JUMPED INTO THE DUMPSTER AND GOT AS MANY OF YOUR PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS THAT I COULD FIND, AND YOUR PINWHEELS, AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO YOUR GRAVE TO JOIN THE NEW ONES. I WISH HE COULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPECT FOR THE DEAD, AND THOSE THAT GRIEVE. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey baby girl! Last night was beautiful. So many people were there to talk about you and be there for you. I talked to the a girl who worked at Pat and Oscars when we left- she told me "this did so well! There wasn't a stop in the line since 5 oclock." That made me really happy. IT kills me everytime I look at pictures of you- of you and Mike and of you and little Keegan. She's beautiful Sarah, so perfect. I went to the mall after I left to get my nails done and I saw Mike when I was leaving. Him and I talked for a long time. It reminded me of the times when I'd just stand and hang out with you at 100% UV for hours until you got off work. =) I always wonder what Schmeeda is up to- " you guys are crazy and annoying!" haha I'll NEVER forget that! He told me how much he misses you, and how this is hard for him. I believe it. I finally got to see the tattoo he got on his side for you. It's perfect. I started crying when I saw it- I guess it just made me realize what is going on and it made me miss you even more. I just wanted to let you know that I think about you everyday- you were so special to me. Love you.
CommentsSarah I Love You Happy Birthday to you sorry 3 days late its just so hard to visit this site sometimes
CommentsHi Sarah, we don't know each other but I have been so incredibly touched by your story...I went to Pat and Oscars last night with Courtney B and I felt so happy to be there and to see all the people that were there who love you! It was so busy...its truly amazing just how many lives you touched while you were here and you still continue to touch in your death. I saw your Keegan... oh my gosh she is gorgeous! What a precious little girl you blessed this world with. I was standing by the lake and I saw your friend Melissa ( I know it was her because my friend was telling me who people were and there relation) and the way she was holding Keegan, so loving, almost motherly, just the complete love she has for Keegan is amazing. You never need to worry about your gorgeous baby girl, she is in the hands of some amazing people! Your family is always in my prayers! God Bless
Commentswe miss u sarah, but you are in a better place, heaven.
CommentsHey love, it's makaila and her mommy again! Just want to say hi and tell you that I love you. You are amazing and loved more than you would have ever known. XOXO
CommentsI can't believe how beautiful Keegan is....Sarah she's gorgeous!! I really miss you....I still don't really believe this all has happened, but I know I have to. I hope you can see how much you have pulled the community together. I have never seen such an outpour like I did yesterday, so many people have been touched by you! You have brought me back to a lot of people that I have really missed having in my life...and I really miss you...but I plan on being around enough to see you grow in Keegan and watch her grow. I love you Sarah.

Their is about 9 family members in the temeculs/murrieta areaa and they told me all you haft to do is just ask.
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN IS SO MUCH LIKE YOU! SHE DOES NOT LIKE LIGHT IN HER EYES WHEN SHE SLEEPS SO SHE COVERS HER EYES WITH HER HANDS OR ARM, IT'S SO CUTE. SHE LOVES IT WHEN I RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH HER HAIR WHEN SHE IS FALLING ASLEEP. SHE IS AS SWEET AS PIE, YET SHE HAS A BIT OF A STUBBORN SIDE TO HER. YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO HOLD HER ON YOUR LEFT SHOULDER (AS YOU KNOW), OR SHE'LL LOOK AT YOU LIKE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, ARE YOU CRAZY. THAT'S SO MY SARAH, OPINIONATED! TODAY WE WENT TO THE MALL AND ENDED UP STAYING THERE FOR HOURS BECAUSE WE KEPT RUNNING INTO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN AWHILE, AND OF COURSE WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN. EVERYONE WANTED TO HOLD HER, AND OF COURSE THEY ALL SPOIL HER WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND GIFTS. BETH AND I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE, AND I HAD TO MAKE SURE YOUR FLOWERS WERE STILL THERE. I HAVEN'T WATCHED TV. SINCE YOU WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL, BUT I HAPPENED TO BE AT THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND GLANCED OVER AT THEIR TV. AND SAW SOME HOSPITAL SCENE WITH SOME PERSON HOOKED UP TO ALL THESE MACHINES AND IT BROUGHT IT ALL BACK, SO I HAD TO BOLT OUT OF THERE QUICK NOT TO BURST INTO TEARS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. IT'S CRAZY, THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME CRY, LIKE SEEING A FEW PEOPLE TODAY THAT HAD A NOSE PIERCING SO DAINTY LIKE YOURS. IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE I CAN TALK ABOUT YOU A LOT WITHOUT CRYING, BUT SILLY THINGS WILL SET ME OFF, AND I NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDearest Keegan, I met your mommy Sarah in high school and we quickly bonded. She was a beautiful, charming, delightful girl and friend. She will always be kept close in my heart as will you. I think about you and her everyday. I know you will grow into an extravagant beauty just like your mommy. Your family and friends are taking great care of you; to ensure that you grow up happy. Even though I've only met you twice, I love you baby girl, just as much as I love your mommy Sarah. I will always miss her. I hope I will get to see you and your family again. Love, Sarah vonVoigt
CommentsDear Sarah, My name is Deric. I only met you a few times when you came into chili's with your family. I am a friend of your sister Jenny. I just wanted you to know how inspirational your story has been to me. I am currently struggling with an alcohol addiction that is tearing my family apart. After hearing your story, and how hard you fought for life, It finally hit me. I am completely taking MY LIFE for granted. I am completely ashamed of myself. I am sure your family and your beautiful daughter Keegan would give anything to have you back for one more day. And here i am doing things that could end with me being ripped out of my families life. I just want you to know that i am going to think of you and your family everyday that i battle through this, as a reminder that life is so precious. It should be valued not wasted. I just wanted you to know that your story has helped me more then you will ever now. THANK YOU SARAH!!! You, Keegan, and your family will be in my prayers daily
CommentsWe don't know each other but you are friends with one of my friends & I saw your story & was touched...For you to be gone at such a young age & leaving behind such a beautiful baby girl... my heart & prayers go out to the family & Baby Keegan. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I WAS ABLE TO GET A LOT DONE TODAY. I'M FINALLY GETTING MOST OF YOUR DOCTOR FILES TOGETHER, IT'S BEEN QUITE A CHALLENGE! I WAS ALSO ABLE TO WRITE SOME OF MY THANK YOU NOTES, THANKS TO LINDA C. COMING OVER AND LOVING ON YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN. THANKS FOR THE NEW FRIEND, (OR MANY NEW FRIENDS). WE PICKED PLUMS TODAY, AUNT SUSAN AND I ARE GOING TO MAKE JAM AND JELLY. MELISSA AND STEVEN CAME OVER TO LOVE ON LITTLE KEEGS. KEEGAN AND I BOUGHT MELISSA SOME SKITTLES, WE TOLD HER SHE COULD EAT ALL THE COLORS, BUT SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THERE WERE HARDLY ANY YELLOW ONES, I GUESS SHE GOT USED TO THE YELLOW ONES BECAUSE OF YOU. KEEGAN AND I VISITED YOUR GRAVE TODAY AND YOUR FLOWERS LOOKED REAL GOOD. I'M GOING TO BE DESIGNING A MEMORIAL SPOT AT THE BACK WALL FOR YOU. I THINK YOU'LL LOVE WHAT I HAVE PLANNED. TODAY WAS WEIRD BECAUSE I NORMALLY LOVE TO LISTEN TO MY REMEMBER SARAH CD THAT I PUT TOGETHER IN HONOR OF YOU, BUT TODAY EACH TIME I TRIED TO TURN IT ON, IT MADE ME CRY. I'VE GIVEN QUITE A LOT OF THE CD'S OUT, AND WILL CONTINUE TO. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS WEB PAGE (IT'S LIKE A DIRECT LIFE LINE TO YOU), AND I'M ALWAYS SO BLESSED BY ALL THE COMMENTS THAT PEOPLE SHARE, (AND I FINALLY FOUND AN EXCUSE TO ENJOY THE COMPUTER). I LOVED THE NEW COMMENT BY DERIC, WHO SHARED HOW YOUR STORY HAS CHANGED HIS LIFE SO, AND MADE HIM TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU DERIC! I HAVE TO THANK OUR NEIGHBOR STEVE FOR THIS WEB PAGE (MY LIFE LINE)! I MISS YOU MY SARAH, I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO HOLD YOU AGAIN AND I'D NEVER LET GO! I CHERISH EVERY MEMORY I HAVE OF YOU! YOU'RE IN MY HEART AND THOUGHTS FOR ALL ETERNITY! THANK GOD FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF OUR SARAH, AND LOVING HER SO! SARAH ALWAYS HAD SO MANY INTERESTING QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU, I GUESS SHE'S GETTING THEM ALL ANSWERED NOW. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHappy late birthday sarah!!! I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell it to you on your birthday. I'm really sad to say that I missed your funeral. I don't have a car and I couldn't get a ride. I was so upset. You've been in my thoughts daily. Thinking about the memories we had back in the day makes me laugh! The time when you, Melissa and I got all dressed up in the ugliest clothes we could find in my mom's closet and walked down the street to Ashley's house with that guitar! Aww..that was fun. The time when we took a fart machine and put it in the hood of your jacket so when you walked pass people we pushed the button...hahaha;) I haven't met your daughter yet, but I've seen pictures. She's so beautiful! I think that's so cool that her name means fiery (after you). I love you Sarah! I'll see you soon!
CommentsSarah- Looking at those pictures of you made me smile so much but when I got towards the bottom and saw the picture of you in the hospital kissing your daughters arm, my heart just ripped out. I met you when I was in 8th grade because I was such good friends with Emily. I remember when I stayed with your family while my mom was out of town, and I'll never ever forget the sound of your nails clickity-clacking on the keyboard late at night. And I'll never forget the hairclip that I would bring that you just had to borrow for school because you loved it. (It always looked pretty in your hair..I'm looking at it right now). I went to two funerals that day, yours and Breet Neely's, and I just have to say I can't believe that two young lives were taken in such unexpected ways. It amazes me. I think about both of you daily. I brought you a huge strawberry shortcake balloon a couple weeks back and left you a note, I hope you liked it! Even though we weren't close, I want to let you know that you have affected me in more ways than you'll ever know. I will remember you forever! Your daughter is absoultely precious, she is so cute and so well mannered. I think she looks just like you... big blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. I hope that I can re-connect with your family again, like it was back in 8th grade because I would love to be in theirs and your daughters life. I know you are in a better place and I know I will see you again one day, everyone will see you again and we will rejoyce. May your earthly body rest in peace while your eternal life lives on. Much love to you and your family <3
CommentsMy beautiful Sarah, i went to the little shindig at "Pat and Oscars" the other day. i was standing in line to order a drink and some random stranger picked up your flier in front of me and started to read it. I watched her start to get a tear in her eye. i was proud and honored to tell her that the flier was about my baby cousin. I tried to stay strong the whole day. but when i saw my mom holding and feeding Keegan while she told me the story about your illness, I couldn't stay strong any longer. I punched my fist into my hand and stormed out of the room. I took a walk down to the shore line of the lake and wiped the tears from my eyes. More angry than sad. If people would've just listened to you... listened to aunt Debbie... anybody... just listened. than you would be here right now. i talked to my mom today. she answered the phone crying. I asked why as she said, "im listening to Sarah's tape", i cried as well... Because i was at the bank ten minutes before and i heard the song that was sung at your funeral, and had to walk out. I hate to see anybody lose the ones they love. I hate to lose the ones i love... Dearest Sarah... I and all of the people who knew you. Lost someone they loved... I want to greave. But i cant. Because it doesn't seem real. We lost an icon... We all lost you. the one we love... Dearest SARAH...
CommentsDear Sarah's Mommy I am Audra's mommy. I don't know if you will remember us. I just heard about loosing Sarah. I am so sorry. Thank god you have a strong faith and know that Sarah is fine and watching over all of you. Remember when you let us borrow one of the girls prom dresses and after we had an argument over how it got dirty? How unimportant that all seems now. I am sorry it is at this time that we connect again. I have no idea what to say to make you feel better. All I can share is the Serenity prayer that has helped me through everything in my life. Nothing I can compare to loosing your baby girl, GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. You were blessed to have had Sarah given to you as a gift, even for a short time, BUT know that Sarah was very blessed to have you as her mother!!!! Please call me for anything anytime 951-768-3382 Sincerely, Cindy (Audra Hale's mommy)
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I KEEP THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU WENT THROUGH, RELIVING EACH STEP IN MY MIND, WONDERING WHERE THE NO TURNING BACK POINT WAS, FEELING SO HELPLESS (THE BOTH OF US), WONDERING WHY, AND HOW THIS ALL COULD HAVE HAPPENED. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO GET ALL OF YOUR DOCTOR FILES TOGETHER. IT'S SO MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY DRAINING! IT KEEPS HAUNTING ME BECAUSE I KNOW IT SHOULDN'T BE! I WANT TO GO BACK AND CHANGE IT! I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO DO THAT! PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY KNOW HOW HARD I FOUGHT FOR YOU, THEY REMEMBER ME TALKING ABOUT IT AT THE TIME, BUT YET, I WASN'T ABLE TO SAVE YOU, (AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED), AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! MY HEART SO BROKEN! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHi my name is Jade and I happen to be at the Temecula Albertson's and read your daughter's story.I viewed her website and read all the comments that people have left her and what a beautiful human being Sarah was and her precious little daughter Keegan. I noticed you have the Sarah Dennis fund and wanted to know if you have a trust fund just setup for the baby for her future use and if so where can I donate for that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I know baby Keegan will be so loved and wish the very best for her she is angel. God Bless
CommentsJADE, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING ON SETTING UP A TRUST FUND FOR LITTLE KEEGAN, AND AS SOON AS THEY GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION I'LL MAKE SURE IT IS POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE. THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS.
CommentsMY SARAH, LITTLE KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE, AND YOUR FLOWERS WERE STILL THERE. THE FUNNY THING IS, JENNY, EMILY, AND I HAD ALL GONE OVER THERE TO COMPLAIN (NOT KNOWING THAT THE OTHER ONES HAD GONE). I FORGOT THAT TODAY WAS THURSDAY, THE DAY THAT THEY USUALLY MOW THE LAWN AND THROW THE FLOWERS AWAY. IT LOOKED LIKE THE LAWN HAD JUST BEEN MOWED, YET YOUR FLOWERS WERE STILL THERE, YEAH. I ALWAYS WANT YOU TO HAVE FLOWERS AND PINWHEELS. I NEED TO GET BUSY DESIGNING YOUR MARKER. I HAVE IDEAS IN MY HEAD, BUT I DON'T WANT TO RUSH AND BE SORRY. YOUR GREAT, GREAT AUNT DOROTHY AND COUSIN EULAINE SENT MONEY FOR FLOWERS, OR WHATEVER WE SAW FIT TO USE IT ON. I'M GOING TO USE IT TOWARDS YOUR MEMORIAL AT THE BACK WALL. I'M GOING TO BUY A BEAUTIFUL BENCH AND HAVE IT ENGRAVED. I'M ALSO GOING TO BUY A ARCH AND PLANT CLIMBING ROSES BESIDE IT. I WANT TO GET SOME STEPPING STONES AND HAVE THEM PERSONALIZED TO YOU, AND I'LL PLANT PRETTY PLANTS IN BETWEEN THEM. I REALLY WANT TO GET A BEAUTIFUL BOX FOR NOTES AND LETTERS TO YOU. IF ANY OF SARAH'S FRIENDS WANT TO HELP ME, LET ME KNOW. SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS GROWING SO FAST, IT ALMOST SCARES ME. SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT, JUST LIKE HER MOMMY. BY THE WAY, I BOUGHT SOME OF THOSE TEETHING TABLETS THAT JAMIE SUGGESTED, AND THEY REALLY WORKED. (JAMIE, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOU AT THE FUNDRAISER, I TRIED TO TALK TO EVERYONE, AND GIVE THEM A HUG). SARAH, I MISS YOU MORE EACH DAY AND HAVE A HARD TIME LOOKING FORWARD, (I ONLY WANT TO LOOK BACK TO WHEN YOU WERE HERE). I LONG TO SEE YOU AND HOLD YOU, IT HURTS GOING ON WITHOUT YOU, BUT I DO IT FOR KEEGAN, THE FAMILY, AND FRIENDS. YOU ARE WITH ME, AND I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI'm coming to visit you tomorrow. I can't wait!!! I think Melissa, Mike and I are going to go re-live the great times that we used to have at Stadium. Oh how we had the greatest times there, haha. I found your slippers.. the teal ones that are all furry. And i found a pair of strawberry shortcake pajamas.. the ones you just HAD to bring down to the hotel when we went to Encinitas. =) I miss you more and more each day- especially when i see pictures of our fun times! I love you.. <3
CommentsMY SARAH, I CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND. WHY IS IT GETTING HARDER? I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE. I SAW A GIRL DRIVING THAT LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE YOU (WITH GLASSES ON) THAT I HAD TO TAKE A TRIPLE LOOK. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE A LIFETIME WITHOUT YOU. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE MOST HORRIBLE DREAM EVER, AND I'M FIGHTING TO WAKE UP. HOW CAN THIS BE REAL? I WANT TO BE SAVED FROM THIS NIGHTMARE. I'VE CRIED A BUCKET OF TEARS, AND THEY JUST KEEP COMING. LATELY THE STUPIDEST THINGS MAKE ME CRY. PUPS MISSES YOU. I'M GIVING HER AND KEEGAN LOTS OF LOVE. SOMETIMES I HAVE KEEGAN ON THE LEFT SHOULDER, AND PUPS ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER, (BOTH YOUR BABIES). I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMy Dearest Sarah: Saying good-bye is so very hard for me, but I know that I must. I miss you, and missed seeing you this year on the 4th of July, and on vacation, and especially at the mall. Thank you for Keegan Sarah, she makes me smile, and thru her eyes, I will always see you. God promises that there are no tears in heaven, but down here, we are not so lucky. They have been flowing like a river because so many miss you. I'm so sorry you got sick, and had to leave, I know God had a better plan for you. I have this special room in my heart, were I place the memories of all the loved ones I have lost. I am opening the door and placing your memories there, where I know they are safe, and I always know where to find them. So until we met again in heaven, Good-bye for now, My Dearest Sarah!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS SARAH, I COULDN'T SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT. ALL I COULD DO WAS THINK OF YOU. AFTER LOOKING AT SOME OF THE DOCTOR FILES I DISCOVERED THAT YOU HAD SO MUCH MORE GOING ON THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. MY POOR, POOR BABY, THE PAIN THAT YOU HAD TO HAVE HAD ALL THROUGHOUT YOUR BODY. JUST THINKING ABOUT IT TEARS ME APART, BUT YET I KNOW EVEN WORSE THAN THE PAIN WAS THE HEARTACHE OF NOT BEING WITH YOUR BABY. I'M SO, SO SORRY! IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE AND THAT YOU'RE IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER, BUT I MISS YOU SO! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsChuck and Debbie: It was difficult to go through this site and its pictures and messages without tearing up. I can only imagine the pain that you are going through. I am praying for your family and especially for Keegan. She is a beautiful child. Take solace in the fact that Sarah is with the Lord and that someday we'll see her and Bro. Bill Bowers again. It is a privilege to have crossed paths with you on those Saturday visits with Bro. Vargo. You have my total support in prayers.
Comments* Hey Sarah! I miss you and love you! Lil' Keegs is soo freakin' cute, I just wanna squish her everytime i see her, ALways thinkin' of you.... XoXoXoxO*
CommentsMY SARAH, LITTLE KEEGS HAD FUN IN CHURCH TODAY. SHE LOVES THE MUSIC. DURING THE SERMON WE WENT INTO THE NURSERY AND SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING. THEY LOVED HER. SHE WORE A PRETTY PURPLE DRESS WITH THE BIG PURPLE HEADBAND THAT HAS A FLOWER ON IT. SHE LOOKED ADORABLE, AS USUAL. AFTER CHURCH, JOSH, KEEGAN, AND I WENT TO VISIT YOU. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHEY SARAH, I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE THIS MORNING, ON THE WAY HOME FROM STEVEN'S. IT WAS REALLY PRETTY SINCE IT HAD RAINED ALL NIGHT, EVERYTHING HAD LOOKED REALLY GREEN :) YOUR FLOWERS STAND OUT THE MOST, THEY ARE SOO BRIGHT AND PINK! I PICKED ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE LITTLE TINY PINK FLOWERS FROM YOUR GRAVE AND ITS IN MY CAR JUST LIKE THE LAST ONE. I ALSO HAVE A PIC OF YOU AND I ON MY VISOR SO WHEN IM DRIVING I LOOK UP AND SEE YOU. I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH, IT HURTS. I DON'T LIKE THINKING OF MY LIFE LATER ON WITHOUT YOU!
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGS SAID HER FIRST WORD, IT WAS MAMA, AND AS CLEAR AS CAN BE SHE ALSO SAID MOM A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. WE ALL HEARD IT AND JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER. SHE IS ROLLING OVER LIKE CRAZY, AND ATTEMPTING TO CRAWL. SHE IS STILL WORKING ON THAT TOOTH, THANK GOD FOR TEETHING TABLETS AND PAIN RELIEVER. I SHOW KEEGAN PICTURES OF YOU EVERYDAY AND SAY MAMA, AND SHE REALLY STUDIES THEM, AND SOMETIMES SHE BENDS FORWARD TO SUCK ON THEM, OR KISS THEM. AUNT SUSAN, KEEGAN, AND I VISITED YOUR GRAVE TODAY. YOUR FLOWERS LOOKED REALLY PRETTY. I LOVE WATCHING THE BUNNIES AND BIRDS PLAYING ON THE GRASS. I MISS YOU MY PRECIOUS SARAH, I'D GIVE EVERYTHING I HAVE AND THAN SOME TO HAVE YOU BACK. SOMETIMES I GET SO MAD AT TIME, IT'S JUST GOING TOO FAST. YOU'RE ALWAYS WITH ME! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah, I never knew you but we found out about what happened to you through a friend. I also have a baby girl and she is 7 months old so your story hits really close to home. She is our whole world and my biggest accomplishment. I don't know why God decided that it was your time to go but I do know that you brought a beautiful baby girl into this world. I believe that is also your biggest accomplishment. I can see in your smile that you were a beautiful person and your daughter will always be a reflection of you. May you rest in peace knowing that your baby is so loved.
CommentsMY SARAH, TODAY WAS A HARD DAY. YOUR CELL PHONE COMPANY CALLED AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD TALKED TO THEM LAST MONTH ABOUT TURNING YOUR CELL PHONE OFF, BUT I DIDN'T FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE ANY CHARGES BEYOND THE DATE OF YOUR DEATH, THEY DISAGREE. ANYWAY, I TOLD THEM THAT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE TO SIGN THE CONTRACT AND IF THEY WANTED TO ACT THAT WAY I WOULD TALK TO AN ATTORNEY, AND THE ONLY THING THAT THE GUY COULD SAY WAS, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY FOR THIS. WHERE IS THE HEART AND COMPASSION? LATER I WENT TO PICK UP SOME PICTURES FROM WAL-MART'S ONE HOUR PHOTO AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT SELL ME YOUR BABY PICTURE WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE COMPANY FROM WHICH THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN. I TOLD THEM THAT THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN TWENTY YEARS AGO AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT WAS. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT YOU WERE GONE, AND I JUST WANTED TO REPLACE A PICTURE THAT WAS MISSING FROM A FRAME. THEY WOULDN'T BUDGE. AGAIN, ARE THEY ALL HEARTLESS? I DID MANAGE TO GET SOME GOOD STUFF DONE TODAY. TIFFANI Y. AND NICOLE F. CAME BY TO VISIT. THEY HELD LITTLE KEEGAN AS SHE SLEPT SO PEACEFULLY IN THEIR ARMS. WE TALKED ABOUT YOU A LOT. WE LAUGHED, WE CRIED, AND JUST TALKED A LOT ABOUT OLD TIMES. NICOLE TALKED ABOUT YOU, GOD, AND HEAVEN A LOT. SHE GLOWED AS SHE SPOKE ABOUT YOU. I LOVE IT WHEN YOUR FRIENDS COME TO VISIT KEEGAN AND I. TIFFANI BOUGHT KEEGAN SOME STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE UNDERWEAR FOR HER BIG GIRL DAYS. I WENT BY TO VISIT YOU EARLIER. IT'S SO WEIRD BECAUSE I GO EACH DAY, BUT YET WHEN I GET THERE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE THE TIME BEFORE. I GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE I'M MISSING YOU SO MUCH! OH, I ALMOST FORGOT , GINGER STOPPED BY TO VISIT. THEY ALL LIVE IN TEXAS NOW AND RICKY ASKED GINGER TO COME VISIT ME WHILE SHE WAS OUT HERE. HOW SWEET, HUGH. ANYWAY, I MISS YOU MORE THAN COULD EVER BE IMAGINED! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSINCE YOUR MOM MENTIONED YOUR CELL PHONE I WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW I USED TO CALL YOUR PHONE EVERY NIGHT B4 I WENT TO SLEEP AFTER TO LEFT US, SO I COULD HEAR YOUR VOICE AND PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AND THE HARDEST NIGHT FOR ME WAS WHEN YOUR PHONE GOT SHUT OFF. MAN, I CRIED SOOO HARD THAT NIGHT! I MISS YOU SO MUCH SARAH. IM GOING TO GET ALL MY HOME VIDEOS OF YOU AND I TOGETHER EITHER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW AND BRING THEM BY YOUR HOUSE SO I CAN WATCH THEM WITH YOUR MOMMY AND KEEGAN! AND WE CAN LAUGH AT HOW DORKY WE WERE HAHAH I LOVE YOU!!!!
CommentsHey my precious angel...I miss you so much. I saw Keegan today with your mommy and Melissa. It is so cute because they adore her so much...everyone does. I think Makaila is jealous. But she said that she understand cause Keegan is beautiful and that's why they are friends. They are just how we imagined. I think about you everyday...and I have all wonderful memories of you and I think that is a blessing from GOD. You are amazing and so beautiful. Thank you for everything and thank you for being you and never changing for anyone! I miss you terribly. But like I told your mommy...for every 1,000 years spent on earth is simply one day spent in heaven. love you
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I'M JUST SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT YOU, I CAN'T GET YOU OFF OF MY MIND. YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL! I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I MISS OUR HEART TO HEART TALKS, WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING. I MISS RUNNING MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR. I MISS WATCHING YOU WITH YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN, YOU GLOWED! I MISS DOING THINGS FOR YOU, I ENJOYED IT ALL. I MISS YOUR BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY, YOU ALWAYS MADE ME SMILE. I MISS HOLDING YOU AND LOVING YOU! I MISS WATCHING YOU WITH YOUR SISTERS. I MISS YOU AND MELISSA BEING TOGETHER. I MISS YOU CUDDLING WITH PUPCAKE. I MISS WATCHING YOU NURSE YOUR BABY, YOU WERE SO AMAZING WITH HER. THERE IS NOTHING THAT I DON'T MISS ABOUT YOU, I MISS IT ALL! I ESPECIALLY MISS WAKING UP TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE WITH YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IN YOUR ARMS, AND YOU'D SAY "GOOD MORNING GAMAMA". I FEEL SO EMPTY WITHOUT YOU HERE. I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE, BUT I LONG TO BE WITH YOU! GOING FORWARD HURTS SO BAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN. THANK YOU FOR HER! SHE KEEPS ME PRETTY BUSY, BUT I AM HONORED TO LOVE HER, AND CARE FOR HER. I CARRY YOU WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO, YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentsmy sarah1- I keep seeing people who look exactly like you- who dress like you and who have their nails done like you. Its so bad sometimes, that i have to take a triple look- i hate it because it just brings back the last time that I got to see you. I think about that day- everyday. I miss you so much Sarah. You are so beautiful and such a good friend- I remember our last conversation like it was an hour ago, I never want to forget it. I love you baby girl.
CommentsMY SARAH, I MET THE BEST FRIEND OF THE GIRL IN THE GRAVE NEXT TO YOU TODAY. HER NAME IS JEN, AND SHE IS SO SWEET. SHE SAT THERE CRYING ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME THAT I WAS THERE. I THINK IT'S AS HARD ON BEST FRIENDS AS IT IS ON A MOMMY. I TOLD HER THAT I PICKED YOUR SPOT BECAUSE I WANTED YOU NEAR SOMEONE CLOSE IN AGE AND SHE WAS PLEASED TO HEAR THAT. LITTLE KEEGS WENT TO THE DOCTOR TODAY FOR A CHECK UP. THE DOCTOR TOLD MIKE AND I THAT SHE IS TALL FOR HER AGE, AND HER WEIGHT IS GOOD. THE DOCTOR SAID THAT KEEGAN IS DOING THE THINGS THAT A SIX MONTH OLD WOULD BE DOING AND SHE IS JUST FOUR MONTHS. KEEGAN LOVED THE PAPER ON THE TABLE SO MUCH THAT WE BROUGHT SOME HOME WITH US. SHE PLAYED, AND MOVED HER ARMS AND LEGS AROUND SO MUCH THAT SHE WAS WRAPPED UP IN THE PAPER. IT WAS REALLY CUTE! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHI... YOU DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS KRYSTAL, AN I HELPED YOU WITH YOUR PICTURES AT WAL-MART... I CAME TO LOOK AT THIS SITE AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND I KNOW ITS TOUGH AT THIS TIME, BUT I HOPE YOU ALL MAKE IT THROUGH STRONG... GOD BLESS YOU..
Commentsi carry your heart with me by e. e. cummings i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) --- I really love this poem, because when we lose someone, the best thing we can do is live life the way they would and do the things that would make them smile, carrying them with us to enjoy the journey. We can grasp onto life even more and be healed by the people around us. I know it's a love poem, but when someone we care about is with us, we can be even stronger with them inside us, cheering for us to be better and do great things for them! (and this can apply to anyone). We can face the world knowing we are that much stronger and we are living for someone that much greater. Just remember that every bit of happiness you feel isn't forgetting, it's carrying on Sarah's legacy even stronger!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT MELISSA AT WORK TODAY. EVERYONE LOVES KEEGAN AND THINKS OF YOU. WE HAD FUN HANGING OUT WITH MELISSA. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REPLACE THE MISSING BABY PICTURE OF YOU. I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I CRIED AND HUGGED EVERYONE THAT HELPED. WE WENT TO VISIT YOU AND THERE WAS A CUTE PINK TEDDY BEAR AND A NOTE FROM YOUR FRIEND SARAH. WHEN I SAW SOME TEENAGE KIDS PLAYING IN THE GRAVEYARD I DECIDED THAT I WOULD BRING THE BEAR AND THE NOTE HOME, BUT I REPLACED IT WITH SOME FLOWERS AND PINWHEELS, I HOPE SARAH WON'T MIND. I SHARE YOUR STORY EVERYDAY, EVERY CHANCE THAT I GET! I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I JUST WANT TO GO INTO YOUR ROOM AND BE ALONE AND CRY FOR DAYS, BUT WHO HAS THE TIME? HOW, OH HOW AM I EVER GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS? MY HEART IS BEYOND BROKEN, AND I CAN'T BEAR THE PAIN. I WANT TO HOLD YOU SO BAD AND TELL YOU HOW VERY MUCH I LOVE YOU! WHEN I LAID IN BED LAST NIGHT WITH KEEGAN ASLEEP ON ONE SIDE OF ME, AND PUPCAKE ASLEEP ON THE OTHER SIDE, I WISHED IT WAS YOU WITH YOUR BABIES. EACH DAY THAT GOES BY HURTS THAT MUCH MORE. WHEN I LOOK AT A PICTURE OF YOU, I JUST GET LOST IN IT. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU EVER TRULY KNEW HOW PRECIOUS AND DEAR YOU ARE TO ME. I DO KNOW, THAT YOU KNEW THAT I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS, AND I TAKE COMFORT IN THAT. WHEN I THINK OF YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN GOING THROUGH HER WHOLE LIFE WITHOUT HER MOMMY, IT TEARS ME UP. I MISS YOU MORE THAN ANYONE COULD EVER IMAGINE! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentshey sarah i miss hearing you call me fat ass as i go to the snack cart.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, THE DAY STARTED OFF HARD, I WOKE UP CRYING, AND CRIED FOR A FEW HOURS, BUT THAN I WAS ABLE TO GET A LOT DONE. AUNT SUSAN CAME OVER TO HELP OUT, AND I WAS ABLE TO DO SO MUCH HOUSE WORK, AND RUN TO THE BANK AND YOUR GRAVE WITHOUT KEEGAN, AND KEEGAN WAS ABLE TO NAP WHILE I WAS GONE. PAT FROM THE MORTUARY CAME BY AND BROUGHT SOME GIFTS IN REMEMBRANCE OF YOU, AND SHE VISITED WITH US, JUST CHECKING ON HOW WE'RE ALL DOING. THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO ME, JUST KNOWING HOW MUCH THEY CARE. IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VERY LONG PROCESS, AND WE ALL ARE FOREVER CHANGED. KEEGAN AND I WENT TO THE MALL TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR SISTERS, WHO WERE BOTH WORKING. THEY'RE BOTH ALWAYS SO BUSY THAT THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO GET SOME GOOD TIME WITH THEM IS TO HANG OUT WHILE THEY'RE WORKING. THEY BOTH GAVE KEEGAN LOTS OF GOOD LOVING, AND ARE VERY PROUD TO BE HER AUNTIES. WHEN WE CAME HOME, I SPENT SOME TIME IN KEEGAN'S NURSERY, AND THOUGHT OF YOU. THE PICTURES ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE LOOKING AT THE ONES OF YOU. EVEN THOUGH I MISS YOUR FACE, YOUR VOICE, AND TOUCHING, I FEEL YOU WITH ME. I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI thought it would be silly to write what I did a few days ago but when i saw your mom today she told me to write so sweet lil keegan could know everything about you. well lil keegan your mama loved chulupas from taco bell. I remember you ranting and raving about how good those chulupas were. so when i finally did have one i remember thinking "dang these are pretty good" So a few days ago when my uncle wanted taco bell. . . . i wasn't hungry but thought "i'll eat one in memory of sarah" so there it is miss sarah ... a chulupa to you
CommentsSarah, reading all the nice things people say about you brings me to tears. Everyday i come on this site and look at the pics and read what people write. I always see pictures of Keegan on Mellissa's Myspace. She is getting so big and she looks like you, you could not have had a more precious baby.... thinking of you always ....
CommentsDear Sarah's Mommy, I keep reading your posts my heart breaks for you. I can feel your pain. I mentioned before I am a chorioCa survivor who was not expected to make it through the first night in the hospital. I was diagnosed 6.5 yrs ago but it is so crystal clear in my mind it feels like it was yesterday. If understanding or talking about the disease could help you in any possible way I would love to help. Sometimes a "stranger" can be a comforting ear as well. Please feel free to email me at heather_kev_2000@yahoo.com.
CommentsMY SARAH, I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT MELISSA AT WORK TODAY. SHE ALWAYS LIGHTS UP WHEN SHE SEES YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN, AND EVERYONE ELSE LOVES TO SEE HER TOO. KEEGAN AND I BOUGHT YOU SOME PRETTY FLOWERS AND A CARD, THAN WE WENT SHOPPING FOR KENDAL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. WE STOPPED AND HAD SOME PICTURES TAKEN OF KEEGAN AND SHE LOOKED SO STINKING CUTE! THE PICTURES WILL BE READY IN A FEW WEEKS, AND I'LL MAKE SURE I PUT THEM ON YOUR WEB PAGE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE YOUR LITTLE ANGEL. I WAS SO RUSHED TODAY THAT I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO YOUR GRAVE BEFORE THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, SO I CRIED THE WHOLE WAY THERE. CATHEY AND MANDY HAD FUN WITH YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN, AND LILLIAN WAS SO BEAUTIFUL LOVING ON YOUR KEEGAN. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE, BUT IT'S HARD WITHOUT YOU. I DIDN'T GET HOME UNTIL LATE BECAUSE I STOPPED AT HOME DEPOT TO GET A ROOM DARKENING BLIND FOR KEEGAN'S ROOM, AND OF COURSE I HAD TO SHARE YOUR STORY WITH ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN. JERI WAS SO SWEET AND WENT WITH ME TO YOUR GRAVE A LITTLE AFTER 10:00 PM. I PROMISED I WOULDN'T GO AFTER DARK UNLESS SOMEONE WENT WITH ME. I'M NOT AFRAID TO GO IN THE DARK, ACTUALLY I FIND IT QUITE PEACEFUL, BUT I DON'T WANT PEOPLE BEING CONCERNED ABOUT ME, SO OUT OF RESPECT I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME WHEN I HAVE TO GO LATE. YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN IS ASLEEP NOW (I HOPE DREAMING SWEET DREAMS OF YOU) AND HERE I SIT, MISSING YOU SO HORRIBLY, WISHING YOU WERE HERE! YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS, I CARRY YOU WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO! IT'S SO HARD TO GO ON WITHOUT YOU. I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SLOWLY SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME, AND TIME IS MY ENEMY. I SELFISHLY WANT YOU BACK, AND I'M ANGRY AT TIME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, IT IS UNBEARABLE! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah I love you so much and miss you more than you'll ever know. It's so hard to come onto this site and just realize that this has really happened. I wish it was a dream, I wish we could go back and things would be different. You are so special to me and I never leave home without a piece of you. Miss you.. blaaahh whatever!
CommentsHEY YOU! WOW LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY ROUGH ON ME :( I WAS GOING THROUGH YEAR BOOKS THAT I HAD... AND 2 OF THEM YOU NEVER SIGNED, IM KIND OF SAD ABOUT THAT.... WE WOULD JUST SAVE A PAGE FOR EACH OTHER AND SAY WELL I SEE YOU EVERYDAY SO WE WILL DO IT LATER! HAHA BUT ON THE SENIOR ONE IT MADE ME CRY, THE PAGE THAT WE ARE ON TOGETHER WHERE WE HAD OUR OLD PIC OF US AND OUR NEW ONE, THE FRIENDSHIP PAGE :) YOU SAID TO ME "MELISSA WE'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN FROM FIFTH GRADE TO NOW. OUR FRIENDSHIP HAS BEEN A 'KADOOZIE,' ALWAYS REMEMBER MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS! I LOVE YOU." AND I SAID TO YOU, "LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE GOTTEN; THROUGH THE ROUGH TIMES, WE DID IT TOGETHER. I LOVE YOU." AND THEN I WENT TO THE BACK OF THE BOOK AND READ WHAT YOU WROTE TO THE SENIOR CLASS... "THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ESPECIALLY MY MOM WHOS ALWAYS BEEN THERE 4 ME. MELL WE ARE FINALLY DONE FROM 5TH GRADE TO NOW BFF. MISS MARTINS YOU ARE A PARTY IN A HALF LOVE YA GIRLFRIEND. EMILY GOOD LUCK IN YOUR LAST TWO YEARS.

CommentsMY SARAH, I WOKE UP WITH A MIGRAINE, SECOND DAY IN A ROW, SO KEEGAN AND I SKIPPED CHURCH TODAY, INSTEAD WE WENT OVER TO YOUR GRAVE AND LAID A BLANKET DOWN AND AN UMBRELLA AND LAID THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. IT WAS NICE TO HAVE SOME TIME JUST US. WE GOT A LOT DONE TODAY. MELISSA AND SOME OTHER FRIENDS CAME OVER AND MELISSA TOOK KEEGAN OUT FOR THE EVENING. MELISSA WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I RECENTLY TOLD HER THAT SHE COULD TAKE KEEGAN NOW AND THEN, HER FACE LIT UP AND SHE HAD TEARS IN HER EYES. I WENT OVER TO YOUR GRAVE AGAIN, IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER FROM DAY TO DAY, AND I JUST NEEDED TO LAY DOWN BESIDE YOU, AND SOB. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey beautiful, I got stickers made for my car today that say in loving memory of you. At the gas station someone asked what happened. So I told her about it and told her to go to the website. I have the website on the sticker so people can learn more about your story. I met my dad for the first time this week and he met Keegan too! He couldn't stop talking about Keegan, She is so loved. Today at Sabrina's birthday bash your mom let Melissa take Keegan and she was crying. So, I held her and softly said in her ear how beautiful you are and how much you loved her, I kept saying "mommy" to her. Melissa was playing in the pool water and Keegan loved it. She looks just like you...breathtaking. I just want you to know that I think about you everyday. I miss you and I'm a better mom because of you. You are so special...see you when I see Keegan again:)
CommentsThis is the first time I have written a comment...but I go on the website everyday at work. It's hard, but somehow seeing Sarah's beautiful face and Keegan angel in all the pictures brings me some peace. I have shared Sarah's story with so many people and they are all so touched by it. Sarah has made such an impact in my life and the lives of so many others that never even knew her. Her memory will live on through those that knew and loved her and those who are complete strangers. Her story will continue to be told...and others will be saved and that is a true blessing. Dennis Family- I want you all to know that I am and always will be here for you...anytime and anything! Katie is basically my sister and that means you guys are stuck with me forever. I can't wait to come out and visit and see lil' Keegan angel. I hate that I have not been out since the service, but I will see you very soon! You all are always in my thoughts and prayers and I love you! Sarah, thank you for teaching me about courage and love. Rest in peace now. You are missed like crazy, but it makes me happy to know that you will be up there to meet me someday...save me a seat!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, AUNT SUSAN, KEEGAN, AND I WENT TO YOUR GRANDMA'S HOUSE TODAY. SINCE GREAT GRANDPA PASSED AWAY THE DAY AFTER KEEGAN WAS BORN, GRANDMA IS GOING TO BE SELLING THE HOUSE. IT'S HARD TO THINK ABOUT THAT, ALL THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES WE SHARED THERE, AND SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING IS CHANGING SO FAST. GRANDMA GAVE KEEGAN THE LITTLE ANTIQUE CHAIR, I'LL TELL HER HOW YOU USED TO SIT IN IT WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL, JUST LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS LITTLE. KEEGAN AND I VISITED YOUR GRAVE EARLY TODAY, AND I BOUGHT THE PLOT BESIDE YOU. I REALLY MISS YOU BABY GIRL! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY P.S. KEEGAN IS BLOWING RASPBERRIES AS SHE SITS IN MY ARMS, WHILE I'M TYPING.
CommentsTO ALL OF THOSE WHO LEAVE A MESSAGE ON THIS WEBSITE I THANK YOU! TO THOSE WHO SHARE THAT SARAH'S STORY HAS CHANGED THEIR LIFE, YOU PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE, TO THOSE WHO THINK OF, AND TAKE THE TIME TO REMEMBER SARAH, YOU MELT MY HEART, AND TO THOSE WHO SHARE REMEMBRANCES OF SARAH, YOU LIFT ME UP! SO I THANK YOU, FOR MYSELF, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR LITTLE KEEGAN WHO WILL SOMEDAY READ ALL OF THIS AND KNOW HER MOMMY BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU! TO THOSE WHO ARE PRAYING FOR US, WE FEEL YOUR PRAYERS, AND THANK YOU! TO THOSE WHO CALL OR COME BY, WE LOVE YOU FOR IT! TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE DONE SO MUCH, WHETHER IT BE A LOT OR SOMETHING SMALL AND SWEET, IT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED, WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! I COULD BEGIN THE LIST OF INCREDIBLE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEYOND AWESOME, BUT THERE WOULD BE NO END, FOR WE ARE TRULY BLESSED WITH AWESOME FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND EVEN STRANGERS THAT HAVE TOUCHED US. SO TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU, (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) WE LOVE YOU, AND COULD NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING! LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, TO MY SARAH, YOU WERE AN AMAZEMENT AND WONDER HERE ON EARTH, AND EVEN MORE SO, SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN GONE! I COULD NOT BE MORE BLESSED, HONORED, AND PROUD TO HAVE BEEN YOUR MOTHER, AND HONORED STILL TO CARRY YOUR LEGACY ALONG WITH ME. I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMiss Sarah Dennis, I miss and think about you a lot. I have some good memories that go back to MMS and I cherish them, like SAM'N lol. I smile just thinking about it. oh and my paintball team played a tournament in your honor and ended up winning it:) Love you
CommentsDear Sarah's mommy and family, you don't know me but i went to high school with Sarah and wanted to tell you that Sarah was such a wonderful, caring and funny person. I think about her time to time more since i had my baby girl and just to think how life is so Precious. To Keegan's dad stay strong and be positive. My prayers are with you all.
CommentsTo Sarah and the Dennis Family, I would like to give you my condolences. Even though I did not know Sarah that well I did know she was a sweet girl. Jenny I would like to say I'm sorry about the loss of your sister, and say I miss you. Debbie and Chuck I saw the pictures of your beautiful granddaughter and know you will take good care of her. To the rest of Sarah's family and friends my prayer's are with you and God Bless!!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, JESSICA AND RAMONA CAME OVER YESTERDAY AND THEY LOVED YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN'S NURSERY. THEY LOVED ON KEEGAN AND THAN WE WENT OVER TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. JESSICA BROUGHT YOU THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HOT PINK ROSES AND WROTE YOU A SWEET NOTE. MANDYKINS ALSO CAME OVER YESTERDAY TO WATCH KEEGAN SO AUNT SUSAN AND I COULD GO TO THE MOVIES. EMILY AND MANDYKINS TOOK KEEGAN TO THE MALL AND HAD LUNCH, WHILE WE WENT TO SEE PIRATES. ALTHOUGH THE MOVIE WAS GOOD, IT WAS HARD BEING NORMAL (LIFE IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL SINCE YOU LEFT US). AFTER THE MOVIE I STOPPED BY THE CANDY CART AND SAW MIKE AND ZIM AND THAN I WALKED AROUND THE MALL AND CRIED (THERE IS SUCH A PRESENCE OF YOU THERE), AND I WENT OVER TO SUSIE AND SHE HUGGED ME AND COMFORTED ME. ON THE WAY HOME I PASSED JENNY ON THE ROAD, I GUESS SHE HAD STOPPED BY ON HER LUNCH BREAK TO VISIT. WHEN I GOT HOME KEEGAN WAS ASLEEP IN MANDY'S ARMS, SHE LOOKED SO PEACEFUL, AND MANDY LOOKED SO HAPPY TO BE HOLDING HER. LATER ON MANDY, EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I WENT OVER TO VISIT YOU. WE SAT THERE FOR A LONG TIME, IT WAS SO PEACEFUL. WE TALKED ABOUT YOU, AND HOW MUCH WE ALL MISS YOU, AND HOW IT'S GETTING HARDER. YOUR DAD HAS ROCKED KEEGAN TO SLEEP A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND WHEN HE DOES HE ALWAYS ENDS UP FALLING ASLEEP TOO, THEY BOTH LOOK CRASHED. I MUST ADMIT, I'VE DONE THAT A FEW TIMES MYSELF. KEEGAN HAD A HARD TIME FALLING ASLEEP LAST NIGHT SO BETH AND I WENT OUT BACK TO ROCK BY THE MOONLIGHT, AND OF COURSE LISTEN TO THE FOUNTAIN OUT BACK (YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SHE LOVES LISTENING TO WATER), AND SHE FELL RIGHT TO SLEEP. KEEGAN AND PUPCAKE WOKE UP ALL BRIGHT EYED AND BUSHY TAILED EARLY THIS MORNING, AND FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE BOTH FULL OF ENERGY TODAY. WELL I BETTER GET BUSY, THE DAY IS SLIPPING AWAY. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS! I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI have never met Sarah, but heard of her story through a friends website. I have seen her my space awhile back while she was pregnant with her daughter and so amazed at how beautiful she looked, pregnant and all. I am a mother of two, just recently gave birth to baby boy, and I get so choked up when I read letters written from the mother. Losing a loved one is such a tragedy. I can not imagine the heartache everyone is going through. I pray for Sarah, her family and friends, and for her precious baby girl and her significant other. I cannot help but cry at how much she cannot be there with her daughter, especially taken away months after giving birth. But we all know she is in heaven, being the angel that she is. My prayers go out to her family and dear friends. God Bless you all. Kisses to her baby girl LIFE'S LOSSES Our greatest losses in life Are loved ones, who've passed on, Always hard to handle, But harder when the order is wrong. The pain of losing a lifetime mate Is a crushing blow, at the least, A terrible ache that won't dissipate, That buckles the heart as the knees. But what greater loss for parents, Than a child born of their flesh, Cut off an arm - cut out a heart, Such pain would surely be less. Many times I've heard it said, And I think it must be so, The greater the pain that one sustains, The closer to God one grows. No child, no parent, no mate, Whoever has loved and been loved, Can be as close to those who love him, As to his God who loves from above. While God wants no man to suffer, Sometimes that is God's way, To bring a man totally to Him, By taking a loved one away. When this happens, a man is given A place for his sorrow to go, As the Holy Spirit moves in, And enters the grieving man's soul. Assured of reunion in heaven, And with peace now residing within, One can handle such separation, As a closer union with God begins. Virginia (Ginny) Ellis Copyright July 2005
CommentsMY SARAH, I THINK OF YOU EVERY WAKING MOMENT, AND I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF YOU TOO. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I GIVE KEEGAN ALL THE HUGS AND KISSES THAT I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU, SO SHE GETS HER LOVING AND YOUR LOVING, LOTS OF LOVE THAT'S FOR SURE! WE LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES A LOT, AND WE BOTH GIVE THEM KISSES. I TELL KEEGAN HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER EVERYDAY! MY HEART ACHES SO BAD FOR YOU TO BE HERE WITH US. IT'S SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU! YOU WERE SO FULL OF LIFE, SO ENTERTAINING! I WISH I HAD VIDEO TAPED YOU MORE IN RECENT YEARS, ESPECIALLY WITH KEEGAN, I HAVE SO LITTLE AND IT UPSETS ME THAT I DON'T HAVE MORE FOR HER, BUT YOU WERE SO SICK, AND I WAS SO BUSY TAKING CARE OF YOU AND YOUR KEEGAN, I KEPT TELLING MYSELF I'LL DO IT TOMORROW, BUT TOMORROW NEVER CAME, AND I'M SORRY FOR THAT. I WOULD LOVE FOR HER TO SEE HOW INCREDIBLE YOU WERE WITH HER, BUT I GUESS SHE'LL HAVE TO KNOW THROUGH WORDS AND STORIES THAT WE TELL HER. SHE'S SITTING HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW, AND I'M GIVING HER KISSES FROM YOU. I MISS YOU MY SARAH, I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDebbie just wanted you to know that I am praying for your strength and also let you know I think about Sarah everyday and I miss her so much.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, TIFFANI Y. CAME BY LAST NIGHT. TIFFANI BROUGHT KEEGAN A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BACKPACK FOR HER FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (SOMEDAY). IT'S SO CUTE! WE HAD A NICE VISIT. SHELLI AND KELSEY CAME BY TODAY TO VISIT. IT IS KELSEY'S BIRTHDAY AND SHELLI ASKED HER WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO FOR HER BIRTHDAY, AND SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO VISIT KEEGAN AND I (AND OF COURSE THEY BROUGHT GIFTS FOR KEEGAN, A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BALL AND STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ADORABLE FLOPPY HAT), AND THAN THEY WERE GOING TO GO VISIT YOU WITH FLOWERS. THEY ARE ALWAYS SO THOUGHTFUL! OUR DAY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETE HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MELISSA DROPPING BY TO LOVE ON KEEGAN, AND PUPCAKE TOO! NOW KEEGAN AND I ARE GOING TO RUN AROUND A LITTLE AND OF COURSE GO VISIT YOU, MY PRECIOUS ANGEL! I LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSARAH, I JUST GOT BACK FROM PALM SPRINGS WITH MY FAMILY. AND THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU, BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I WENT UP THERE WAS WITH YOU! AND WE PLAYED UP AT WHITE WATERS, IT WAS A BLAST! ON THE 8TH IT WAS 47DAYS FROM YOU BEING GONE, OUR FAVORITE NUMBER! I LOVE YOU AND KEEGS!!
Comments*~*SARAH*~* I KNOW THAT WE WERE NOT THAT CLOSE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME ONE THING LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, BE YOURSELF AND DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE! I HAVE YOUR STUFF UP ON MY WALL SO I CAN SEE YOU EVERY DAY. I HAVE YOUR PIN ON MY WALLET. OH YEAH ON YOUR BIRTHDAY NICK AND I BOTH WORE YOUR PINS. SINCE NICK WORKS AT OGGIES AND JENNY WORKED THERE, THEY HAVE YOUR POSTER UP IN THE FRONT WINDOW. I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE STOP AND READ IT. I TRIED TO GET THEM TO PUT A DONATION BOX UP BUT THEY CANT DO THAT THERE. ANYWAYS...I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I COME ON HERE EVERY DAY. I CANT STAY AWAY....I TELL YOUR STORY TO ANYONE THAT I KNOW IT WILL TOUCH. MY THOUGHT AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOUR FAMILY. I KEEP SAYING THAT I AM GOING TO STOP BY AND SEE EVERYONE BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT A GOOD TIME IS. OKAY SWEETIE I HAVE TO GO MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU. *~*R.I.P.*~*
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING MY LOVE, I JUST HAD TO TAKE A MOMENT FROM THE DAY TO SAY I LOVE YOU! I'LL GET BACK TO THIS LATER. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah-- I just got back from watching Keegan for your mom. She wouldn't go to sleep in my arms but I absolutely loved hanging out with her! She keeps getting prettier and prettier. I got her to laugh a few times which made me very happy. I am still lost for words around your family...i just don't know what to say because I know they are in such pain. I miss you and wish you were still here but I know I will see you again someday! Love always-Whit
CommentsMY SARAH, JANET, MY BEST FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND HER HUBBY SCOTT CAME BY TO VISIT TODAY. THEY LIVE IN TEXAS, BUT WERE OUT HERE FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS REUNION WHICH I DECIDED NOT TO GO TO BECAUSE I'M TO EMOTIONAL, BUT THEY WANTED TO SEE ME, AND OP COURSE YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN. JENNY CAME OVER TOO. WE ALL WENT OUT TO BREAKFAST, AND THAN WENT TO VISIT YOU. JANET WAS SO SWEET, SHE HELD MY HAND AS I RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS, AND TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU. I TOLD HER ABOUT MY PLANS FOR YOUR MARKER AND MEMORIAL SPOT AT THE WALL. JENNY AND I VISITED A FEW OTHER GRAVES OF FRIENDS ALSO GONE. AFTER OUR NICE VISIT BACK AT THE HOUSE THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY, AND THAN YOUR FRIEND WHITNEY CAME OVER TO HELP OUT WITH KEEGAN SO I COULD GET SOME THINGS DONE. SO MANY THANK YOU NOTES STILL TO BE SENT OUT, THE FINAL PLANS FOR YOUR MARKER, AND OF COURSE THE NEVER ENDING HOUSE WORK. I ACTUALLY DID SOME THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET TO SINCE YOU WERE SICK, DUSTING! ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO OUR HOME KNOWS THERE'S A LOT OF THAT TO BE DONE SINCE I LOVE TEACUPS AND PRETTY THINGS. BY THE WAY, I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN SOMEDAY GETS ALL OF THE THINGS I HAD PLANNED ON LEAVING TO YOU, HAD THIS NOT BEEN OUT OF ORDER. WHEN I LOOK AT THE THINGS YOU HAD REQUESTED TO BE YOURS SOMEDAY IT MAKES ME SO SAD, AND REALITY HITS LIKE A THOUSAND KNIVES. I CARRY YOU AROUND IN THIS BROKEN HEART OF MINE, I TRY TO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE, BUT THE LAST MONTH AND DAYS OF YOUR LIFE ARE SO HARD TO OVERCOME, I HAVE TO WONDER IF I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO GET BEYOND THEM. IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE YOU SO SICK, SO SCARED, SO LONGING FOR YOUR BABY, I WISH I COULD STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT I'M NOT ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF MY MIND. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI have never met Sarah but after reading all these wonderful posts, I wish I had. I actually learned of this website through a friend of mine. Sarah's mom, I don't know you either but I have to say I wish I could at least give you a hug. I have read some of the posts from other people but have read every single one of yours. Every time I read, I cry. My heart goes out to you to the fullest extent. I'm so sorry for your loss. You seem like such a wonderful, sweet family. I wish there was something I could do for people like you. It's heartbreaking to me and if I saw you in the mall crying I would've walked up to you and asked you if you were ok and then listened to your story that you love to talk about, and I'd cry with you and give you a hug. My email address is shortnpetite1977@yahoo.com if you'd like to hear my story about my loss and then maybe you can talk more about your Sarah. Again, I truly am sorry for your emptiness, I wish I could tell you it gets easier but honestly it hasn't for me and it has been 4 years. God Bless You and your family and I'm sure I'll be back to check comments
CommentsMiss Sarah, The mall really isn't the same without you, Not too many days pass by that we don't talk about you. Today when I socked George he said, he remembered when you would beat him "right between of my muscle and bone" Knowing George I'm sure he deserved it. Your Mom came by the other day and it really made me feel special that she thought of me to comfort her. I knew she was down, your mom has this radiance about her that seemed dim that day. She told me she was having a hard day, I immediately hugged her. You know Sarah, you were taken too early from this world, but i am grateful that you got to experience every beautiful thing in life as a woman. You had a wonderful family, an incredable mom, you fell in love, and were given a beautiful gift from God, Keegan. I told your mom that the most wonderful gift God gave you, you gave to her. I pray for you and your family all the time. Watch Us. . . . and laugh because I'm sure we make excellent entertainment. And I'm not gonna call George "Fat a*$" cause that was your job and I'm sure he hears you every time he buys doughnuts at the candy cart.
CommentsMy Sarah, I have not been on your website yet to say something to you because usually when I want to talk to you, I go visit you at your graveside. But tonight I miss you extra bad, since it is really late (or early I guess I should say) I can't go to you right now, so I guess this will have to do. I miss you so much, I know you know that. I can just feel it. I read through the comments for the first time, it was really hard and that's exactly why I've been avoiding it. I looked at all the pictures of my beautiful sister, and the love of my life Keegan. Sarah, its amazing how much I love your baby girl! She's my little peaches, remember that? I see your eyes in her almost every time I look at her. Gosh she's cute. It shouldn't even be allowed to be THAT cute, because its not fair to everybody else. I think about you every few minutes, every single day, and I dream about you almost every night (if I could control my dreams it would be every night, but I can't so I guess I'll just have to take what I can get). I wish I could talk to you about what's on my mind right now. I KNOW you would be here for me, and you are the only person I would want to talk to right now. I will be able to go sit in the grass and look at the sky, and talk to you tomorrow. I know one thing Sarah, I was never shy about telling you how much I love you. It makes me feel good and brings me comfort to know that you knew it! I love you, I miss you more every day. To all of the wonderful people who have been here for our family, Thank You. Thank you so much for everything from the bottom part of my heart. It is hard for me to come on the website, and I know it is for some of you too. That's why I thank you for sharing your thoughts and stories and prayers and love with all of us. For those of you who know us well, you know my family has a lot of love and hugs to give. So big hugs and lots of love to all of the great people that we are so blessed to have in our lives. Thank you to all of my friends who left comments for me or for Sarah. I know my mom really loves to read them, and it helps her to come on this website. I love you Mommy!
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! CAN YOU BELIEVE I ACTUALLY WOKE UP BEFORE KEEGAN. I GAVE KEEGAN AND PUPCAKE EACH A KISS FROM YOU, AND WHISPERED IN THEIR EAR, MOMMY LOVES YOU! THEY ARE BOTH SLEEPING SO PEACEFULLY. I MISS YOU MY SARAH! KEEGAN JUST WOKE UP FOR A DIAPER CHANGE AND BOTTLE, BUT SHE'S OFF TO WONDERLAND AGAIN. PUP'S DECIDED TO GO BACK TO BED WITH HER. I'LL BE OVER TO VISIT YOU LATER. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THAT JENNY LEFT A MESSAGE. I LOVE YOU TOO, JENNY! JENNY AND I HAVE BEEN CRYING TOGETHER LATELY, AND SHARING HOW IT'S GETTING HARDER. IT'S EMILY THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. SHE DOESN'T TALK MUCH, AND SEEMS SO ANGRY. WE'RE ALL HURTING! I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsA SOUL IN HEAVEN FOREVER MAY YOU REST HAVING YOU IN OUR LIVES WE WERE ALL TRULY BLESSED THE TIMES WE LAUGHED AND SHARED A JOKE TO THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE WHENEVER YOU SPOKE THE TIMES WE NEEDED YOU AND YOU WERE THERE TO THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED ITS BEYOND COMPARE OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL OF LOVE I KNOW YOUR IN HEAVEN WATCHING FROM ABOVE THESE MOMENTS I WILL KEEP FOREVER IN MY HEART FOR IN THIS LIFE MY DEAR FRIEND WE MUST BE APART BUT WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT WE WILL MEET AGAIN THOUGH AT THE MOMENT IT IS HARD TO COMPREHEND A SOUL IN HEAVEN FOREVER MAY YOU REST HAVING YOU IN OUR LIVES WE WERE ALL TRULY BLESSED
CommentsWOW, YOUR MOM AND JENNY ARE SOO RIGHT, IT IS GETTING HARDER... ESPECIALLY WHEN I COME ON HERE OR JUST SEE PICTURES OF YOU, OR HEAR A SAD SONG... SO BASICALLY ALL THE TIME! I NEED YOU BACK SOO BAD, IT HURTS. IT STILL DOESN'T FEEL REAL, AND I THINK IM OK WITH THAT, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE REAL! YOUR MOM AND KEEGAN CAME INTO MY WORK TODAY AGAIN, THEY DO IT A LOT, I LOVE IT. I PARADE AROUND THE STORE WITH HER AND SHOW HER OFF. EVERYONE SAYS THAT SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL THEY HAVE EVER SEEN, AND ITS SOOO TRUE! BUT THAT'S NO SURPRISE TO YOU RIGHT? DUH WELL I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. I ALSO HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU EARLIER, YOU AND I WERE SWIMMING WITH KEEGAN :)
CommentsMY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT MELISSA, AND THAN WE WENT TO VISIT YOU. YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS DOING A LOT OF CUTE THINGS, LIKE BLOWING RASPBERRIES, SMACKING HER LIPS, SUCKING THE SIDE OF HER LIP IN, AND BOWING FORWARD WHEN YOU STAND HER UP. SHE'S SO SILLY! MAN CAN SHE TURN INTO A BEAR WHEN HER TEETHING GETS GOING. IT TAKES ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES FOR THE MEDICINE TO KICK IN, AND SHE HAS A WHINEY SCREAM CRY THAT SHE DOES UNTIL IT STOPS HURTING. IN THE EVENING I WENT SHOPPING AT THE STORE, AND THAN WAL-MART. WHILE AT WAL-MART FOR SOME REASON I WAS FIGHTING NOT TO BURST INTO TEARS AT THE THOUGHT OF MISSING YOU. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE CAR BEFORE THE TEARS STARTED FLOWING. I FOUND MYSELF DRIVING OVER TO YOUR GRAVE ONCE AGAIN. THE HARDER I TRY TO BE BETTER, THE WORSE I SEEM TO GET. I LAID DOWN BESIDE YOU AND CRIED, AND TALKED TO YOU. WHEN I LEAVE, IT'S ALWAYS SO HARD TO DRAG MYSELF AWAY, AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK BACK SEVERAL TIMES, AND I CAN'T STOP ASKING WHY? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. I UNDERSTAND WHY ON GOD'S PART, BUT NOT THE REST, AND I DON'T THINK I EVER WILL. I KNOW THAT I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME. SOMEHOW IN TIME I'LL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH ALL OF THIS, BUT FOR NOW, ALL I CAN DO IS ASK WHY? THE PAIN IS SO UNBEARABLE! I'M GLAD I HAVE LITTLE KEEGAN TO PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY I HAD SUCH A HARD TIME WHILE I WAS OUT, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T WITH ME. I PRAY THAT YOU'RE HAVING THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME IN HEAVEN! I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah... wow... this must still be a sad thing for your family and friends. I just can't believe it. I know after middle school/battlezone we didn't talk much (good ol' days of running from the battlezone security, along with catdog and telletubbie phone call three ways with Michelle and whoever else we could connect with), but when we all were together you always made me laugh. I went by the sunglasses hut today and missed seeing ya there. So strange... anyways, we all know you're in a much better place now, but i'm sure everyone still wishes you were here. We'll all miss ya. -Brent

CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, JENNY, KEEGAN, AND I WENT TO CHURCH TOGETHER. LITTLE KEEGAN HAD FUN IN CHURCH TODAY. SHE LOOKED SO SWEET IN HER BEAUTIFUL WHITE EMBROIDERED DRESS WITH THE ADORABLE WHITE HEADBAND I BOUGHT HER. EVERYONE STOPS TO SAY SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY. RYAN, AND HIS FAMILY CAME OVER TO VISIT AFTER CHURCH. EMILY, BRYAN, YOUR DAD AND I WENT OUT TO LUNCH, AND STOPPED BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. I PICKED FRESH FLOWERS FROM OUR GARDEN, AND SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS LET ME HAVE SOME FLOWERS FROM THEIR GARDENS TO BRING TO YOUR GRAVE.

CommentsDEAR GOD, THANK YOU FOR THE FOOTPRINTS! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CARRYING ME THROUGH THIS VALLEY OF DESPAIR. PLEASE GIVE MY SARAH A KISS AND HUG FOR ME, AND IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, WOULD YOU PLEASE GENTLY RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH HER HAIR! LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsSarah… I don’t know what hurts the most, the thought of you not being here anymore, or the thought of the pain and heartbreak Melissa and your family are going through. I think of you and your family everyday and wonder if someone like me, an old casual friend, can be so affected, how it must be for everyone else who were even closer to you. I have learned to appreciate people in my life so much more now. I make sure to tell my best friend that she the bestest ever and that I love her for being her, I take the time to give my mom and dad extra hugs and kisses, and I constantly stop to think of how fortunate I am to live the kind of life I have. It is just so sad that it has taken the loss of an old friend to make me realize just how much more I need to prioritize certain things in my life. You were always so much fun to hang out with.... so outrageous and spontaneous, always being sure to say what was exactly on your mind. There was sure to be so much laughter anywhere you were and smiles just seemed to follow you everywhere you went. I will always remember you for that and miss you for that too.
Commentshey you! Just wanted to remind you that i'm thinking of you. I just got back from an 8 day vacation to Indiana. There wasn't a computer, so the second I got home I had to come onto your site. =) I miss you so much and everyone is right, this is only getting harder. It's so hard to think of what you'd be doing right now. There are so many times when I just want to call you or do our random texts of the "blaaaaahhhh, later!" Just know i think bout you everyday Sarah, and I miss you so much.
CommentsHi I don't know any of you but i can't seem to stay off of this web site. I read about the website inside sav-on one day and decided to check it out. I am a young mother of three girls and i can't begin to imagine the feeling of losing one of your daughters. I am so sorry for your loss. Your daughter Sarah is absolutely beautiful as well as your granddaughter. What a joy to have her to watch grow up to still have a piece of your daughter with you. I pray for you and your family to get through such a difficult time in your life. May god bless you all always and forever and give you the courage to be strong
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN WENT WITH EMILY TO BONNIE'S WHILE SHE BABYSAT. AUNT SUSAN AND I WENT OVER TO YOUR GRAVE. I BROUGHT YOU SOME FRESH FLOWERS FROM THE GARDEN. WE MEASURED THE BACK WALL SO I CAN MAKE MY FINAL DECISION ON WHAT I'M GOING TO BUY. AFTER VISITING WITH THE GARDENER (WHO BY THE WAY IS VERY NICE, AND NOW UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE FLOWERS, AND GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SPOT), I STOPPED BY YOUR GRAVE AGAIN TO RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS, AND GIVE YOU A KISS. WHEN WE LEFT WE WENT OUT TO LUNCH, AND THAN WE WENT TO SEE RITA SO I COULD MAKE MY FINAL DECISION ON A ARCH. I SPOTTED A DIFFERENT ONE TODAY THAT I HAD MISSED BEFORE AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT FOR SALE. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT IS SO PERFECT. WHEN THEY SAW MY DISAPPOINTMENT AND ASKED WHAT IT WAS FOR AND I TOLD THEM, THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEE IF THEY COULD WORK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW ON WEDNESDAY. I HUGGED THE LADY FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT CONSIDERING IT. I'M TRYING NOT TO GET MY HOPES UP TO MUCH JUST IN CASE IT DOESN'T WORK OUT. THERE IS ALSO A REALLY PRETTY BENCH THAT I WANT THAT I HAVE SPECIAL PLANS FOR, AND AUNT SUSAN THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY TO WANT THE OTHER THING THAT I'M CONSIDERING BUYING, BUT IT'S REALLY CUTE! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BUSY WITH IT ALL. I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOUR MARKER, I HAVE MOST OF THE PLANS IN MY HEAD, BUT I WANT TO GO OVER IT WITH THE FAMILY, AND I NEED HELP WITH A PICTURE FOR IT. I BOUGHT PUPCAKE A NEW DOG BED FIT FOR A QUEEN. LATELY SHE LOVES LAYING DOWN AT MY FEET, UNDERNEATH THE COMPUTER DESK. LITTLE KEEGAN IS SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS! I JUST LOVE THAT LITTLE BABY SO MUCH! EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A PIECE OF YOU, SHE DOESN'T REPLACE YOU, NOBODY COULD! I MISS YOU BEYOND BELIEF! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY P.S. TO ANY OF SARAH'S FRIENDS, I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD LEAVE SOME (REMEMBER WHEN) MESSAGES ON THIS WEBPAGE SO KEEGAN CAN KNOW ALL ABOUT HER MOMMY, BUT PLEASE KEEP IT TASTEFUL. THANK YOU!
CommentsMY SARAH, PUPCAKE AND SUGAR WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE AND PUPCAKE CLIMBED UP ON ONE OF THE PATIO CHAIRS THAT I HAD PUT HER OLD DOGGIE BED IN. PUPCAKE IS SUNBATHING WHILE SUGAR STANDS GUARD SO A HAWK WON'T GRAB PUPCAKE. IT IS SO CUTE, I ALMOST CALLED OUT YOUR NAME TO COME SEE, AND IT HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. FOR A MOMENT I HAD FORGOT THAT YOU ARE GONE. I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL EVER GET USED TO THIS. I'LL BE OVER TO VISIT YOU SOON, AND THAN AUNT SUSAN AND I ARE GOING TO GO TO A MOVIE. MIKE IS TAKING KEEGAN OVER NIGHT. I'LL MISS HER, BUT LOVE FOR THEM TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS! I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY

YOU ALWAYS COULD MAKE ME LAUGH AND PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE NO MATTER WHAT. YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME, OR AROUND ME TO MAKE ME LAUGH. THE WAY YOU TALKED, THE WAY THAT YOU DRESSED JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU MADE ME HAPPY. MAN I WISH THAT YOU AND I GOT TO BE CLOSER. OH YEAH I REMEMBER THE ONE HIGH SCHOOL DANCE THAT AL US GIRLS WENT TO. IT WAS HOMECOMING OUR 10TH GRADE YEAR. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN. WE ALL WENT TO YELLOW BASKET FOR DINNER THEN TO THE DANCE. MELISSA'S MOM DROVE US IN THE VAN AND MICKEY WAS THERE. WOW I SEE HIM ALL THE TIME...HE WAS SO SHORT AT THAT TIME AND HE MADE SURE TO DANCE WITH ALL US GIRLS. WE WAS SO INTO BEING AROUND US GIRLS.

CommentsI love you. Keegan, your mommy was such a great woman. She was beautiful and you could really love everything about her. From her fiesty personality to her caring personality. She will be missed and always loved. Love, Lauren
CommentsSarah--- today I had a really hard time :( ...I was driving to work and the country song, "The Dance" came on and I just started balling my eyes out. That song is so sad and I just thought about you and your mom and the love she has for you! I wanted to call your mom so bad just to talk but I didn't want to bring her down if she was doing good at the moment. I also kept thinking about your precious Keegan and how you are going to miss the "dance" with her and it just breaks my heart. However, I do know that she will know what a great, loving, funny person you are and she is in good hands! well we all miss you Sarah!...... --DEBBIE-- and Keegan(of course)My fondest memory of Sarah( which I have wrote on here before) is when we got guest passes to go to Jenny's homecoming when we were in 8th grade. We were so excited. We went through Jenny's closet to find one of her dresses to wear then your mom did our hair in updos. When we were at the dance, I was really nervous but not you, you were so outgoing and willing to dance with the boys but you made me tag along with you even though I was being my stupid shy self. It was soo fun! You always knew how to brighten up people even by just saying one word, you could because of your humor and sarcasm.. Oh geez, you cracked me up! I also always remember how much you loved Strawberry milk! When I would go to you house after school all the time, you would always pour yourself strawberry syrup and milk! Anytime I see Strawberry syrup or milk or strawberry shakes.. you are on my mind! And of course, you can never forget getting our pics taken at the mall in what we thought were the coolest clothes! Sarah, you made such a lasting impression on so many people! We love you. Keegan- you are truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother and an angel to guide you through life! <3 Whit
CommentsMY SARAH, I CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND! AFTER FINISHING A CALL ON MY CELL PHONE, I ALMOST MADE ANOTHER CALL, IT WAS YOU THAT I WANTED TO CALL, AND THAN I REMEMBERED. YOUR NAME AND NUMBER ARE STILL IN MY ADDRESS BOOK AND I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF TAKING THEM OUT, SO I WON'T. WELL IT'S LATE, AND I'M TIRED, SO I THINK I'LL GO TO SLEEP. I HOPE I DREAM SWEET DREAMS OF YOU! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I HEARD SOMEONE COUGHING, AND IT BROUGHT IT ALL BACK. WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL I HAD BEEN WITH YOU FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS, NEVER LEAVING YOU UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE HAD COME TO VISIT. I HAD PROMISED YOU, AND MYSELF THAT I WOULD ALWAYS STAY WITH YOU. WHEN THEY TOLD US ALL ABOUT KEMO AND RADIATION, AND HOW DANGEROUS IT WOULD BE FOR YOU TO BE AROUND SOMEONE WHO WAS ILL, THAT REALLY HIT ME, THAT NO CHANCE COULD BE TAKEN. LATER THAT DAY, BEFORE TREATMENT HAD BEGUN, WE WERE ALL IN THE WAITING ROOM (YOU HAD ABOUT THIRTY VISITORS THAT DAY), AND I HAD STEPPED OUT INTO THE HALL TO TALK TO A FRIEND. I HAD A TICKLE IN MY THROAT AND I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I WAS GOING TO ENDANGER YOU. YOU WERE WHEELED OUT INTO THE HALLWAY AND FOUND ME CRYING. YOU HAD SUCH CONCERN ON YOUR FACE, AND I ASSURED YOU THAT IT WAS NOT ABOUT YOU, BUT RATHER THAT I HAD A TICKLE IN MY THROAT AND DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH ENDANGERING YOU. I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU AND THAT WAS WHY I WAS SO SAD, BUT THE MOTHER'S LOVE I HAVE TOLD ME I HAD TO. I PROMISED YOU THAT I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT YOU WERE NEVER ALONE, THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ONLY THE BEST THERE WITH YOU. SO I TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU, AND I LEFT. I GOT ON MEDICATION RIGHT AWAY. I CALLED THE HOSPITAL TO TALK TO YOU MANY TIMES, BUT THEY ALWAYS SAID YOU WERE UNAVAILABLE, SO I ASKED THEM TO HAVE THE PERSON THAT WAS WITH YOU CALL ME SO I SENT YOU MESSAGES OF LOVE. I WANTED TO COME BACK ON TUESDAY, BUT FELT I MIGHT BE TAKING A CHANCE, SO I DECIDED TO WAIT ONE MORE DAY (THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE). WEDNESDAY MORNING I GOT UP REAL EARLY AND GATHERED MY THINGS, GETTING READY TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN (FINALLY)! THAN I GOT THE CALL, YOU HAD SLIPPED INTO A COMA. I RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL, I SAT AND TALKED TO YOU, TOUCHING YOU. I WAS SO UPSET TO FIND THAT YOU WERE IN A ROOM WITH A WOMAN THAT WAS COUGHING, AND ALSO HAD A FOUL MOUTH. HERE I HAD TORN MY HEART OUT LEAVING YOU TO PROTECT YOU, AND THEY HAD YOU IN A ROOM WITH A SICK PERSON. I CAME UNGLUED. I WENT TO TALK TO A NURSE ABOUT IT. I TOLD HER HOW I HAD LEFT TO PROTECT YOU, AND NOW THEY HAD PUT YOU IN A ROOM WITH A SICK PERSON. SHE SAID SHE WOULD WORK ON IT. I ALSO TOLD HER THAT WHEN YOU HAD BEEN ON THE SEVENTH FLOOR THAT THERE HAD BEEN A CRAZY WOMAN IN THE BED BESIDE YOU THAT KEPT YELLING "OH SHIT" AND IT SCARED YOU SO BAD THAT YOU HAD BEGGED ME TO HAVE THEM MOVE ONE OF YOU FROM THAT ROOM, AND THEY NEVER DID. SOME TIME PASSED AND I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM WHEN I HEARD THE SON OF THE WOMAN IN THE BED NEXT TO YOU SAYING THAT HIS MOTHER WAS HAVING ANOTHER ONE OF HER RAGING FITS AND THEY HAD TO TIE HER DOWN TO HER BED. ALTHOUGH I WAS VERY NICE TO HIM, AND TOLD HIM HOW SORRY I WAS FOR WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH, I EXCUSED MYSELF AND MARCHED DOWN THE HALL AND WENT UP TO THE FIRST HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE I FOUND AND ONCE MORE EXPLAINED ALL THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON, AND I TOLD HER THAT I HAD HEARD SOMEONE SAY (AS I HAD JUST ENTERED) THAT YOU WERE AT YOUR MOST CRITICAL MOMENT, AND I THAN TOLD HER I'M NOT ASKING ANY MORE, I'M TELLING YOU, GET THAT WOMAN OUT OF MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY, THEY WENT RIGHT OVER THERE AND OPENED THE DOUBLE DOORS AND PULLED HER BED OUT. FROM THAN ON THEY NEVER PUT ANOTHER BED IN THERE WITH YOU. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO PUSH ME TO THAT POINT? I TRY TO BE A NICE PERSON, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LISTEN UNTIL YOU GET NASTY. IT MAKES ME SAD THINKING OF YOU SO SCARED WITH THOSE TWO PEOPLE IN THE BED BESIDE YOU (FIRST ON THE SEVENTH FLOOR, AND THAN ON THE NINTH FLOOR, IN ICU). WHY DID THEY DO THAT TO YOU? I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU WERE COMFORTED WHEN THEY FINALLY MOVED HER OUT, AND THAT YOU FOUND PEACE IN YOUR FINAL HOURS. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, BUT SOMETIMES THE FIGHT WAS HARD AND TOOK TOO LONG, AND IT COST YOU, AND THAT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!! I FEEL SO CHEATED THAT I DIDN'T GET TO BE WITH YOU IN YOUR FINAL WAKING MOMENTS, AND I'M SO MAD THAT I LOST THAT PRECIOUS TIME WITH YOU ONLY FOR THEM TO ENDANGER YOU. I KNOW EMILY HURTS TOO, BECAUSE SHE WAS SO BUSY TAKING CARE OF KEEGAN, OR WORKING THAT SHE DID NOT GET TO SPEND A NIGHT WITH YOU. I WASN'T AT HOME (I WAS AT CATHEY'S HOUSE SO I COULD GET SOME REST), AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EMILY WAS FEELING LEFT OUT. THAT BREAKS MY HEART! EMILY WAS SO INCREDIBLE WITH KEEGAN. IT'S NOT A EASY THING FOR A BABY TO BE RIPPED FROM THE BREAST AND PUT ON A BOTTLE. IT WAS A TRUE STRUGGLE, I KNOW, I HAD TRIED IT A FEW TIMES AND KEEGAN HAD FOUGHT THE BOTTLE! SHE WOULD LOOK AT YOU WITH THE MOST PITIFUL FACE, HER EYES WOULD FILL WITH TEARS, HER LIP WOULD QUAVER, AND SHE WOULD LOOK AT YOU LIKE, WHY? WHY? WON'T YOU GIVE ME MY BOOBY? EMILY IS AMAZING FOR GETTING HER THROUGH ALL OF THAT! I'M STILL SORRY THAT SHE DIDN'T GET TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU THOUGH. I KNOW THAT REALLY HURTS HER! EVEN THOUGH I'M SO ENVIOUS OF THOSE WHO WERE WITH YOU IN YOUR LAST DAYS AWAKE, I'M GLAD THEY WERE WITH YOU. I KNOW MINDY IS FOREVER CHANGED. SHE WAS WITH YOU WHEN YOU WENT INTO THE COMA. MINDY AND I ARE SO CLOSE NOW. I LOVE HER SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH YOU, EVEN THOUGH I'M JEALOUS TOO. I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS, AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH, THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I MISS YOU! I THOUGHT CHILD BIRTH WAS PAINFUL, I'D TAKE THAT KIND OF PAIN (AND I MEAN NATURAL CHILD BIRTH, LIKE ALL MY GIRLS WERE), I'D TAKE THAT PAIN OVER THIS HEARTACHE PAIN ANY DAY! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsIts Joe again Yes I am drinking water I also drink pespi But every time I drink a Pespi I will remember Sarah and and her telling me YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT IS its because I drank way to much soda. I know when I see her again she will tell me all about it all over again. Keegan Your mom was great she was very kind We all love love you and wish you the best through the years to come. God Bless Your hole Family.
CommentsMY SARAH, YESTERDAY MICHELLE AND JOSH CAME OVER TO VISIT YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN AND I. WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND KEEGAN DROOLED ALL OVER THEM. LATER WE ALL WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. KEEGAN, EMILY AND I WENT SHOPPING AT THE MALL AND WE SAW TIFFANI (YOUR NAIL GIRL) WHO SO HAPPY TO SEE KEEGAN, AND WE ALSO SAW SARAH AT THE JEWELRY STORE, SARAH DOWN STAIRS (WHO THINKS SHE IS ALSO KEEGAN'S GRANDMA, AND ALWAYS TELLS EVERYONE THAT SHE IS), IT IS CUTE. AS WE WERE LEAVING THE MALL WE SAW MIKE AND SOME OTHERS WHO LOVED ON KEEGAN. WHEN WE GOT HOME LAURA AND RAMONA WERE WAITING FOR US. LAURA BROUGHT A BEAUTIFUL GIFT, A MIRRORED PIECE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT AND IT HAD A FLOWER WHICH SHE HAD TIED A BRIGHT PINK RIBBON AROUND (THE ONE FROM THE PROGRAM FROM YOUR MEMORIAL) AND IT ALSO HAS A HEART SHAPED FRAME ON IT. IT WAS SO THOUGHTFUL! LAURA HADN'T SEEN KEEGAN'S NURSERY YET, SO WE SHOWED IT TO HER AND SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. EMILY WATCHED KEEGAN WHILE LAURA, RAMONA AND I WENT TO THE STORE SO LAURA COULD BUY SOME FLOWERS, WHICH INCLUDED ONE OF YOUR FAVORITES, HYDRANGEA. THE FLOWERS WERE SO BEAUTIFUL!! WE DROVE OVER TO VISIT YOU. RAMONA WAS A BIT SCARED BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AND QUITE DARK, BUT I TOLD HER THAT IT'S NOT AT ALL SCARY, IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE PEACEFUL. SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY, BUT LATER ADMITTED THAT IT WAS PEACEFUL. LAURA AND I TOOK OUT THE OLD FLOWERS, PUT THE NEW ONES IN, AND KEPT ANY OF THE OLD FLOWERS THAT STILL LOOKED GOOD. WE VISITED FOR AWHILE, AND I PUT A KISS IN MY HAND AND RUBBED IT THROUGH THE GRASS AND TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU AND WE LEFT. KEEGAN AND YOUR DAD WENT FOR A WALK THIS MORNING, AND I SLEPT A LITTLE, THAN I DID LAUNDRY. WE'RE GOING TO AUNT MINDY'S TODAY, BUT BEFORE WE GO, I'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU. I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS SARAH, AND I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI remember a very personal moment between us . I was going through a VERY hard time about something and I didn't know what to do . And we had a very long talk about everything that was going on with me I was hurting so much at that time and you were so sweet and gave me great advice . I always play that moment in my head for some reason. It always makes me sad. But the one I love the most is when I got my hair done and I hated it and I was so upset lol and you were very blunt and said ya it was bad LOL i was like thanks sarah! but then you have me the number to your hair stylest to get my hair fixed =] so all was well in the world again !
CommentsI am a mother myself and I share your pain of loosing your daughter. I lost my daughter at 6 months and till this day it tears my heart apart to think of the precious life that god took back. Joy, to say the least he has a plan for us all and he would never give you more than you can handle. Mothers are special and they are never forgotten and the Lord blesses us each day with every breath we take. Heed the day for the next you will never know what is to come. Hang in there. God has his reasons weather we want to realize it or not things happen for a reason and i truly believe that. Blessing and happy days to come.

CommentsSarah~ I miss you...Well my grandma finished the painting for Keegan. My mom is going to pick it up for me and tonight i am going to bring it over. I cant wait to hold and lone on baby keegs. i love you and i will talk to you later. Thinking of you always and forever! Love Always, Heather
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, WHEN I WAKE, YOU ARE MY FIRST THOUGHT, THROUGH THE DAY, IT IS YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS KEEGAN THAT OCCUPY MY MIND, AND AT THE CLOSE OF THE DAY, I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THE YEARS AND DAYS THAT WE SHARED, AND THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES I HAVE TO CARRY WITH ME. I WILL BE BY TO VISIT YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE. YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS DROOLING ALL OVER YOUR PICTURE, AND SHE HAS SAID MAMA SEVERAL TIMES TODAY. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE PLAYING TAG, AND HIDE AND SEEK. LIFE GOES ON, BUT YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN, YOU ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF OUR DAY. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMy Sarah it truly did not hit me that you are gone until yesterday when I was watching a movie on lifetime and looking at the pictures of you that mom put up...why did this happen to you?? I love you and miss you with my whole heart. I cant stop balling. I asked god today...why....why my sister...nothing ever happens to our family.. so why my Sarah. I cant believe that i am never gonna see you again and never be able to hug you or give you a kiss. a couple of weeks ago I was talking to beth and she said that she was talking to my sister earlier that day and I said which one.. I had to stop and realize that I only have one sister left and yet I take everything for granite still. I want you back!!! wont you come back to us? I love you
CommentsI keep looking at my hands on the keyboard and expect them to type up a miracle that would do you good and make your family proud, but i am continually reaching for the backspace. The best that i can offer is you left your mark on the world by having a child that will be able to shape a perfect image of you, and who will grow wise and beautiful under the caring watch of a family that misses you more then words can describe. I couldn't comfort Emily because i don't know what it's like but through her i can see just how large of an impact your trail to the heavens had. I know you will watch over her like a hawk and will wait patiently for when the time comes to be re-united with your family and loved ones. You are sorely missed Sarah, and forever loved.
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! LITTLE KEEGS IS PLAYING IN HER WALKER AND WATCHING HER BABY EINSTEIN DVD. SHE'S SO ACTIVE, JUST LIKE HER MAMA! THIS PAST WEEK I STARTED PUTTING HER ON THE FLOOR AND SHE ROLLS ALL OVER THE PLACE. SHE IS STILL WORKING ON CRAWLING AND MANAGES TO GET AROUND. HER NEW THING IS THROWING HER HEAD BACK WHILE YOU'RE HOLDING HER SO SHE CAN HANG UPSIDE DOWN. SHE IS SO SILLY, AND LOVES TO LAUGH. SOMETIMES SHE LAUGHS SO HARD THAT SHE CRY LAUGHS, AND THAN SHE GETS THE HIC-UPS. KEEGAN IS REALLY TESTING HER VOICE LATELY, SHE CAN MAKE ALL SORTS OF NOISES. PUPS IS SILLY TOO, SHE LOVES TO HIDE HER HEAD UNDER MY CHIN AND WIGGLE AROUND. SHE'S AN ATTENTION GETTER TOO. PUPCAKE IS ASLEEP ON HER QUEEN BED UNDER THE DESK WHERE I'M SITTING. YOU WOULD LOVE HOW SOFT IT IS! SHE JUST MELTS INTO IT. YESTERDAY, MELISSA, ERICA, AND MAKAILA CAME OVER TO VISIT KEEGAN AND I, AND THEY ENDED UP TAKING KEEGAN TO THE MALL SO THEY COULD TAKE BABY PICTURES. JESSICA AND SARAH H. JOINED THEM. I WENT TO LOWE'S TO BUY SOME PAINT SO YOUR DAD COULD PAINT KEEGAN'S DRESSER TOP, AND THAN I WENT TO THE MALL TO SEE JENNY (WHO WAS WORKING AT THE CANDY CART). WHEN THE GIRLS FOUND OUT THAT I WAS THERE, THEY ASKED ME TO JOIN THEM. THEY WERE BUYING DRESSES FOR THE BABIES. I HAD SENT PINK MATCHING HEADBANDS. THE BABIES LOOKED SO CUTE FOR THE PICTURES. AFTER THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN, WE ALL WENT OUT TO DINNER AT RED ROBIN. WE SAW UNCLE RICHARD AND HE HELD KEEGAN. AFTER DINNER WE WENT TO GET THE PICTURES AND THEY WERE SO ADORABLE! OF COURSE I THOUGHT OF YOU WHILE I WAS OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS, THINKING IT SHOULD BE YOU, NOT ME! WHEN I GOT HOME, MANDYKINS WAS THERE. SHE LOVED ON YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN AND VISITED WITH US UNTIL SHE HAD TO LEAVE TO GO SPEND TIME WITH JENNY. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY! LIFE IS KIND OF DULL WITHOUT YOU, YOU ALWAYS KEPT ME GOING, AND LAUGHING! I REALLY MISS THAT! I HOPE YOUR KEEGAN GROWS UP TO BE THE ENTERTAINER YOU WERE. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI miss you so much sarah... It hasn't been until recently that this whole thing has become a reality. It shouldn't be you- you were the one to brighten up everyone's day, to lift them up when they were down, and to make them realize not to take things to seriously. I remember you being over at my house days at a time, to watch you become such a good friend to me- and to my mom. We'd be so ridiculous and no one could understand us, even Melissa would tell us to be quiet sometimes! I am so thankful that I have pictures to remind me of how funny we were, and how happy you made me, even at the times where I was falling and getting weak. I thank you my Sarah1 for all the memories. We have so many- and there aren't enough words for me to write or the correct sentence to explain what we have been through. I don't ever want to believe that this has happened to such an amazing person. It's so hard to think about our high school times because It makes me miss you so much more. I just want to hear your voice.... I want to hear you say those famous sayings... those funny things you'd say, just one more time. I love you sarah- and i know you know to this day, losing you is so very hard for me <3 =(
CommentsMY SARAH, LAST NIGHT YOUR FRIENDS HEATHER AND LAURA CAME OVER TO VISIT. HEATHER'S GRANDMOTHER PAINTED AN OIL PAINTING THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND RIGHT ON TO EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. HEATHER HAD TOLD HER GRANDMOTHER ABOUT YOU AND HAD SAID SHE WOULD LIKE A PAINTING WITH STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE AND PUPCAKE IN IT TOO. HER GRANDMOTHER MUST HAVE BEEN TALKING TO YOU BECAUSE SHE PAINTED A GIRL SITTING AGAINST A TREE IN A PRETTY PINK DRESS WITH SHOES BESIDE HER AND STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HER. PUPCAKE IN FRONT OF HER, ROLLING HILLS IN THE BACKGROUND, WITH A CASTLE IN THE DISTANCE. THE GIRL IS ALSO HOLDING AN OPEN BOOK IN HER HANDS. SO MUCH MORE, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO GO ON BECAUSE I NEED TO GET READY FOR CHURCH. ANYWAY, IT REMINDED ME OF YOUR RESTING SPOT, AND SO MANY OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. AFTER CHURCH, I'M GOING TO GO BUY THE THINGS FOR YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT, AND THAN I'LL BE OVER TO START WORKING ON TURNING THE GROUND, AND PREPARING THE SPOT. I'M ALSO GOING TO TRY TO GET THE FAMILY TO HELP ME MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS FOR YOUR MARKER SO THAT I CAN ORDER IT. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsWell hello miss Sarah! oh my goodness your mom is so sweet. When i gave her the painting she just lost it. she feel in love with it. I hope that Keegan will keep it forever. Anyways...so I was telling my grandma how your mom just loved the painting and she asked me if she liked the color of the dress that the girl is wearing and i told her yes because that's your favorite color....well she said that she didn't like the color and the way it came out but she just kept painting. It was like you were there telling her what to paint. When your mom was looking at it she was pointing out all the things that are about you and i never once told my grandma anything about you. It made me feel really good...You know people can say some mean things to one another but I want you to know that i have always liked you and i was very upset to here that you were sick. I am so sorry for the pain that you must have been in. I wish that i could have been there for you. But i am here now, and i will do whatever i have to help out your family. Oh yeah your mom told me that she would love to learn how to oil paint and my grandma said that she would teach her. I think that is really cool. well sweet heart im at work right now and i have to go, but i will come back later. Debbie i have tomorrow off and Wed off so if you have Keegs would you please call me! I would love to come over if that's okay with you all? Love always Heather. R.I.P. My sweet Sarah
CommentsMY SARAH, I'M JUST TAKING A QUICK MOMENT FROM THE DAY TO SAY I LOVE YOU AND I'M THINKING OF YOU! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN IS SITTING IN HER WALKER RIGHT BESIDE ME, PLAYING WITH HER TOYS. WE WENT BY TO VISIT YOU EARLIER AND MET A REALLY NICE FAMILY WHO HAD HEARD ABOUT YOUR STORY. YOUR FLOWERS THAT LAURA BOUGHT YOU STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL, AND THERE ARE ALSO SOME FROM OUR GARDEN. KEEGAN AND I GAVE YOU KISSES IN THE GRASS. KEEGAN WAS HAPPY TO GET BACK HOME, AS SHE IS FULL OF ENERGY. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE PLAYING TOO. MELISSA IS COMING OVER TOMORROW TO HELP ME WITH THE ARCH FOR YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT, AND OF COURSE LOVE ON YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWO MONTHS, I CAN'T GET USED TO YOU BEING GONE, AND I KEEP HOPING THIS IS ALL A HORRIBLE DREAM. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE YOU BACK. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY

CommentsDear Sarah's family, I did not know you, but just happened onto your sight (friend of a friend)& the story of your loss brought tears & really touched on a nerve. Especially seeing the funeral pictures. I am deeply sorry for your loss, your daughter is so beautiful. I am sure she is smiling down from heaven so proud of all of her family. The pain of losing a child has to be the worst pain there is...I can relate. I too lost my son. I am sending prayers for your family. God Bless you! Christie www.nathanmcguire.com

CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN TOOK A TWO HOUR NAP IN MY ARMS, LAYING ACROSS MY CHEST AS I ROCKED IN THE RECLINER. SHE LOOKED SO PEACEFUL AND PRECIOUS, I JUST COULDN'T PUT HER DOWN. PUPS SLEPT RIGHT NEXT TO MY FEET. I JUST LOVE AND ADORE YOUR BABY GIRL! EARLIER, EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I WENT TO JENNY'S. WE BROUGHT LUNCH SO WE ALL ATE TOGETHER. HEIDI WAS THERE ALSO. AFTER LUNCH, WE ALL SWAM. KEEGAN KICKED HER LITTLE FEET, AND HAD A GOOD TIME IN THE POOL. WHEN WE LEFT WE DROVE BY TO VISIT YOU. KEEGAN LEARNED A NEW WORD TODAY, IT'S BABA. SHE LOVES VOICING HER OPINION, JUST LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW! I'M MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY! WE ALL DO! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHi Sarahs Mommy--I just read some more of your comments because a couple weeks ago I told you in an email I come by to read your posts. You are an amazing person, you should write a book. God Bless you, stay strong and healthy. Take Care Love Amber
CommentsHi, I'm not sure if you remember me Debbie, but my name is Melissa Pirayoff and I went to Cawthon with Sarah...also we were in brownies together. I was so sad to hear that Sarah had passed...but I got to thinking about what a great person she was and I'm glad I got to know her for the short amount of time that I did. I have so many memories of her, so many...I think the one that sticks out the most was when I had a birthday party at Bullwinkle's and we all went on the rides and on the boat ride that swings back and forth, Sarah's hair kept flying in the air. I don't know why we found it so funny, but we did and of course she laughed right along with us. I'll never forget that if you called her hair red or blonde she would always quickly correct you and let you know that it's "strawberry blonde". The last time I got to see her was when your family had just moved to Temecula and I can't remember why, but you and Sarah stopped by Cawthon after school and I was in daycare so she found us outside and we talked. She told me how much she liked it there and that she had a dog. I don't know why we didn't bother exchanging phone numbers, but we were pretty young. I am glad that she was such a good friend to me and I'm sorry I never got to talk to her again. Her daughter is gorgeous and I hope she knows how truly great her mom was.
Commentswe miss you
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN, HOW YOU CAME OUT JUST AS YOU GREW TO BE. YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOURSELF AND HELD TO YOUR OPINION. WHEN YOU WERE A BABY AND I ROCKED YOU, AND SANG TO YOU, YOU WOULD SHAKE YOUR HEAD NO, YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO SING, YOU WANTED ME TO HUM. WHEN YOU WERE IN YOUR CRAWLING STAGE, YOU WOULD SOMEHOW GET JENNY DOWN ON THE GROUND AND WRAP YOUR FINGERS AROUND THE HAIRS AT THE BACK OF HER NECK AND PULL HER ALONG AS YOU CRAWLED. (JENNY WAS FOUR YEARS OLD, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED THAT, AND MORE THAN ONCE). WHEN YOU WOULD THROW YOUR BOTTLE DOWN FROM YOUR HIGHCHAIR IF SOMEONE (USUALLY JENNY) DIDN'T PICK IT UP REALLY QUICK AND GIVE IT TO YOU, YOU WOULD SCREAM (AND WE COULD SEE THE SCREAM BUILD FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR STOMACH AND WORK IT'S WAY UP). WHEN IT CAME TO WALKING, YOU KNEW HOW TO DO IT, BUT CHOSE TO HOLD OF FOR AWHILE. LOOKING BACK, I THINK THAT IT WAS ALL A PLOT TO GET JENNY DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL. YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP ON THAT CONTROL UNTIL AFTER YOU WERE ONE. I REMEMBER WHEN OUR DOG CHERIE WOULD BARK, YOU WOULD GO OVER TO THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR, POINT YOUR FINGER AT HER WITH YOUR ARM EXTENDED, AND WITH AUTHORITY YOU WOULD SAY MO PUPPY MO! THAT DOG LISTENED TO YOU EVERY TIME. YOU LOVED BEING IN CONTROL! WHEN EMILY WAS BORN AND YOU CAME TO THE HOSPITAL TO SEE HER, YOU DECIDED THAT SHE WAS SO CUTE AND FUN, SO YOU WANTED TO TAKE ALL OF THE BABIES HOME WITH US. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THE OTHER BABIES BELONGED TO OTHER PEOPLE. YOU LOVED GETTING TO BE A BIG SISTER. YOU WATCHED OVER HER CAREFULLY AND IF SHE SNEEZED YOU MADE SURE THAT EVERYONE BLESSED HER. YOU WOULD ALWAYS LIGHT UP EVERY HOLIDAY WITH YOUR ADORABLE PERSONALITY. SOME OF MY FAVORITES ARE; WHEN YOU GOT M&M'S IN YOUR EASTER BASKET AND YOU SHOUTED "THANKS EASTER BUNNY, BOP BOP", AND WHEN YOU GOT A FISHER PRICE CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS AND JENNY WANTED TO SEE IT BUT YOU WEREN'T ABOUT TO LET HER, SO I TOLD YOU TO TELL HER MAYBE LATER, AND YOU KEPT SAYING "MAYBE LATER, MAYBE LATER, I'M GOING TO GO PUT IT IN MY ROOM WHERE NOBODY CAN GET IT"! THE FUNNY THING IS THAT JENNY HAD MOVED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT YOU KEPT SAYING MAYBE LATER. EACH CHRISTMAS WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR PRESENTS YOU WOULD GET SO EXCITED, YOU WOULD RUN OVER TO THE PERSON WHO HAD GIVEN YOU THE PRESENT, HUG THEM AND REPEATEDLY THANK THEM. YOU LOVED THE FOURTH OF JULY AND ALL OF THE FIREWORKS. THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE WAS BETTER THAN THE FIREWORKS (TO ME)! THERE WASN'T A HOLIDAY THAT YOU DIDN'T ENJOY. VALENTINE'S DAY, YOU LOVED MAKING COOKIES, AND GIVING OUT CARDS, AND OF COURSE SAYING "I LOVE YOU"! ST. PATRICK'S DAY, YOU LOVED DRESSING UP AND PINCHING THOSE THAT DIDN'T (USUALLY YOUR DAD). HALLOWEEN, YOUR WERE ALWAYS SO CREATIVE WITH YOUR COSTUMES, AND YOU LOVED GETTING LOTS OF CANDY, BUT RARELY ATE A LOT, INSTEAD YOU SHARED. I THINK YOU LOVED THANKSGIVING A LOT BECAUSE IT CAME WITH SOME OF YOUR MOST FAVORITE FOODS; STUFFING, HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS, JELLIED CRANBERRY SAUCE, CORN, MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY, AND OF COURSE TURKEY. LET'S NOT FORGET MY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PIE. YOU MADE ME MAKE SEVERAL OF THEM SO YOU COULD HIDE ONE FOR LATER. ON CHRISTMAS, YOU DIDN'T LIKE WAITING FOR YOUR SISTERS TO GET CUTE FOR PICTURES, YOU JUST WANTED TO GET AT IT. I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE AND YOU TOLD ME THAT SANTA CLAUS WAS BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE HE GAVE BIGGER AND BETTER PRESENTS. THINGS CHANGED AFTER THAT, MINE WERE BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE. HOW DARE SANTA TRY TO COMPETE WITH ME! YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE OF MY GIRLS THAT WENT TO PRESCHOOL. YOU INSISTED ON IT, AND YOU RAN THE CLASS! YOU LOVED SCHOOL SO MUCH THAT YOU WOULD CRY WHEN IT WAS THE WEEKEND, OR A HOLIDAY. SUMMERS SEEMED LIKE FOREVER TO YOU, SO ONE YEAR YOU DECIDED TO GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. YOU HAD SO MUCH FUN! TEACHERS EITHER LOVED YOU, OR BUTTED HEADS WITH YOU. WHEN THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT YOU I WOULD TELL THEM TO PUT YOU TO WORK AS A HELPER. THE TEACHERS THAT COULD SEE HOW THIS WOULD WORK TO THEIR ADVANTAGE FOUND A AWESOME STUDENT, AND LOVED YOU, BUT THE TEACHERS THAT WANTED TO FIGHT WITH YOU LOST OUT ON A WONDERFUL STUDENT, AND HELPER. HOW BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU WANTED TO BE A TEACHER! YOU WERE A HARD WORKING STUDENT, AND RARELY ASKED FOR HELP, YOU WERE PROUD TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. YOU PUT YOUR WHOLE HEART INTO EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID. I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN YOU WERE IN THE THIRD GRADE (I THINK), YOU CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TRY OUT FOR THE TALENT SHOW. I ASKED WHEN TRY OUTS WERE, YOU SAID THAT DAY. I SAID YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO SING "HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW". I SAID SARAH, YOU DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE WORDS TO THAT SONG, AND THAN MUCH TO MY SURPRISE YOU SANG THE WHOLE SONG. YOU HAD ME HUNT FOR A STUFFED DOG FOR THE SONG. OF COURSE YOU STOLE THE SHOW WITH YOUR ADORABLE PERFORMANCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WAGGED THE TAIL OF THE DOG AT THAT PART OF THE SONG. YOU ALWAYS LOVED BEING THE ENTERTAINER. TO PEOPLE THAT TRULY KNEW YOU AND LOVED YOU, YOU WERE THE MOST AWESOME FRIEND! (INCLUDING ME). YOU WERE NEVER FAKE, BUT BRUTALLY HONEST! SOMETIMES THAT SCARED PEOPLE, BUT AT LEAST THEY KNEW YOU DIDN'T TALK BEHIND THEIR BACK, YOU NEVER HELD BACK. YOU LOVED WORKING HARD FROM A YOUNG AGE. YOU ALWAYS TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY. YOU WALKED NEIGHBORS DOGS, WATERED THEIR YARDS AND TOOK CARE OF THEIR HOUSE WHEN THEY WERE GONE, BUT THE TWO BEST WAYS THAT YOU DISCOVERED MAKING MONEY WERE; YOU WOULD GO UP TO A FAMILY MEMBER WITH A DIME AND A NICKEL AND A SAD FACE AND TELL THEM THAT YOU WERE SAD BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A QUARTER, AND OF COURSE THEY WOULD GIVE YOU ONE, THAN YOU WOULD GO TO THE NEXT PERSON WITH THE QUARTER, DIME AND NICKEL AND A SAD FACE AND TELL THEM THAT YOU WERE SAD BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A DOLLAR, AND OF COURSE THEY GAVE YOU ONE, THIS WENT ON UNTIL YOU HAD A LOT OF MONEY, SOMETIMES TWENTY DOLLARS AND ALL OF THE MONEY YOU HAD MADE ALONG THE WAY, AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT YOU DID THIS TO US MORE THAN ONCE. THE OTHER CREATIVE WAY THAT YOU MADE MONEY WAS TO ASK ME TO DRIVE YOU TO THE STORE SO YOU COULD BUY SOME CANDY THAT WAS INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED (THE TWO FOR A DOLLAR BAG KIND) AND YOU PUT IT ALL IN A BOWL, SET UP A CANDY STAND OUT FRONT, AND YOU SOLD EACH CANDY FOR A QUARTER. WHEN YOU HAD SOLD ALL OF THE CANDY, YOU HAD ME DRIVE YOU BACK TO THE STORE SO YOU COULD BUY A LOT MORE CANDY TO SELL. THIS CONTINUED ON ALL DAY. YOU MADE OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT DAY OFF OF ONE DOLLAR. YOU WERE ALWAYS A SMART COOKIE! OK, I KNOW I'VE GONE ON A BIT, BUT I WANT KEEGAN TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! AS WE'VE LEARNED, NONE OF US KNOWS WHEN OUR TIME HERE ON EARTH WILL END, AND THAT IS WHY I TRY TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SHARE WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU, WHILE THEY CAN, SO KEEGAN CAN KNOW YOU. I LOVED IT WHEN SUSIE SHARED ABOUT THE CHULUPA'S BECAUSE I HAD FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT. SHE ALSO REMINDED ME THAT I USED TO BRING THEM TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE WORKING. PRECIOUS MOMENTS WE SPENT TOGETHER. I NEVER WOULD HAVE TRIED A CHULUPA HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR YOU, AND THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I HAD ONE FOR LUNCH YESTERDAY. I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M DOING IT AGAIN, I'LL SAVE SOME FOR ANOTHER DAY. I MISS YOU MY PRECIOUS, I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentsdear melissa pirayoff, i totally remember you! you have, or had blonde hair, right. thank you for the comment, i had forgotten how sarah wouldn't let you call her blonde or red head, only strawberry blonde. thank you for sharing that! i hope to hear from you again. do you know if mr. hornbeck is still at cawthon? love sarah's mommy
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN SLEPT IN UNTIL 9:30. SHE WOKE UP SO HAPPY, TALKING MY EAR OFF. PUPS WIGGLED ALL OVER US AND KEEGAN REACHED OUT TO PET HER A LOT. KEEGAN LOVES PUPCAKE! KEEGAN IS SITTING IN HER WALKER, PLAYING AND CHEWING ON TOYS, AS SHE WATCHES HER BABY NEPTUNE VIDEO. IT'S ALL ABOUT WATER, HER FAVORITE THING! TODAY MANDYKINS, AND AUNT SUSAN ARE COMING OVER TO HELP SCRAPE AND PAINT THE ARCH AND GLIDER FOR YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT ALL DONE! STEVE NEXT DOOR IS WORKING HARD ON THE VIDEO FROM YOUR CELEBRATION OF LIFE. HE IS HAVING SOUND PROBLEMS, AND IT IS SO BIG THAT WE NEED TO REDUCE, OR SEPARATE INTO SECTIONS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO LOAD IT INTO THEIR COMPUTERS. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT ON THIS WEBSITE SO THAT EVERYONE THAT DIDN'T GET TO GO CAN SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentssarah...i was just reading some of the comments that your family and friends have left on here...as i do often...and came across a message your mommy left you that talked about how you always use to imitate her! i am sure you used to do this with everyone, but i specifically remember you and jenny would constantly imitate your mom. when your mom would be listening to something and she was being interrupted...she would say "wanna hear, wanna hear" and i remember imitating her with you as a joke, and you saying, "but you have to do it four times. it is always in fours 'wanna hear, wanna hear, wanna hear, wanna hear'..." as you motioned your hand from your ear to whatever it was she was listening to! i miss you! you always made me smile...and still do when i think of that raspy voice that sets you apart from anyone! you are truly...one of a kind sarah! ♥ lauri
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, AUNT SUSAN AND I WORKED REALLY HARD ON THE ARCH AND BENCH TODAY. WE SPENT HOURS ON IT. JENNY PLAYED WITH KEEGAN SO WE COULD GET A LOT DONE. IT'S LOOKING GOOD. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT ALL DONE. MANDYKINS WASN'T ABLE TO COME OVER BECAUSE SHE HAD A HEADACHE. LATER, MELISSA, ERICA, AND MAKAILA CAME OVER. WE WENT TO VISIT YOU. KEEGAN WAS NOT AT ALL HAPPY TO BE IN THE CAR, SO SHE REALLY WORKED MELISSA. AT TIMES, BOTH BABIES WERE CRYING. IT WAS QUITE SAD. WHEN WE GOT HOME KEEGAN AND I TOOK A BATH TOGETHER. SHE KICKED AND SPLASHED SO MUCH THAT OUR FACES WERE DRIPPING! SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN IN THE BATH AND DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND THE WATER ALL IN HER FACE. I, ON THE OTHER HAND CLOSED MY EYES AND MOUTH WHILE I HELD ON TIGHT TO HER, AS SHE SAT ON ME. IT WAS LIKE GIANT WAVES WERE OVERTAKING US AS SHE SPLASHED. I THINK THAT SHE WORE HERSELF OUT BECAUSE AFTER I PUT HER DIAPER AND PJ'S ON SHE WAS OFF TO DREAMLAND. PUPCAKE IS IN DREAMLAND TOO. SO HERE I SIT, THINKING OF YOU, AS ALWAYS! WISHING YOU WERE HERE, MY LOVE! I KEEP HOPING THE HEARTACHE WILL LESSON, BUT IT ONLY SEEMS TO GROW STRONGER! I KEEP CLOSING MY EYES TO PRETEND THAT THE PICTURES OF YOU AND US TOGETHER IN MY MIND ARE REAL AGAIN. I'M HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE HAVING A GRAND TIME WITH THE LORD, BUT I SELFISHLY ACHE FOR YOU! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDEAR GOD, MY HEART IS SO BROKEN! PLEASE HELP ME! LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN TOOK A TWO HOUR NAP IN HER CRIB. WHEN SHE WOKE UP SHE DID THE LOWER LIP AT ME. AS SOON AS I PICKED HER UP SHE STARTED BABY TALKING TO ME. PUPCAKE PLAYED WITH KEEGAN AND EMILY. WE'RE GOING TO GO GET SOME THINGS DONE, AND THAN WE'LL STOP BY TO VISIT YOU. LATER, AUNT SUSAN IS COMING OVER TO HELP ME FINISH THE ARCH AND GLIDER BENCH. I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDEAR GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STRENGTH WHEN I HAVE NONE. LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, THE ARCH AND GLIDER BENCH ARE ALMOST COMPLETE. TOMORROW MORNING I WILL FINISH THEM AND I WILL BRING THE GLIDER BENCH OVER TO YOUR MEMORIAL WALL. THE ARCH WILL HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER SO THAT IT CAN BE TRIMMED TO SIZE, AND CUT FOR PLANTINGS. WE ALSO NEED TO CEMENT THE ARCH IN PLACE, WHICH WILL TAKE SOME DIGGING AND PLANNING. I STILL NEED TO PREP THE GROUND WITH RICH SOIL FOR PLANTINGS. BETH, EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I VISITED YOU EARLIER. TOMORROW, YOUR DAD, EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I ARE LEAVING FOR A THREE DAY TRIP TO PALM SPRINGS TO VISIT WITH YOUR THREE AUNTS ON YOUR DAD'S SIDE AND YOUR COUSINS. IT WILL BE GOOD TO BE TOGETHER. ERICA PROMISED ME THAT SHE WILL GO VISIT YOUR GRAVE ON SATURDAY FOR ME. THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS IN DREAMLAND, BUT PUPS IS STILL GOING! I PICKED UP THE PICTURES TODAY THAT I HAD TAKEN A FEW WEEKS AGO OF KEEGAN. THEY ARE ADORABLE! OUR NEIGHBOR STEVE IS GOING TO ADD THEM TO THE WEBPAGE TONIGHT. JOSH HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL ABOUT HELPING ADD PICTURES TOO. HE ALSO CORRECTS MY SPELLING WHEN I TYPE LATE AT NIGHT AND DON'T WEAR MY GLASSES. HE'S AN AWESOME FRIEND! I MET A REALLY SWEET YOUNG LADY AT HOME DEPOT TODAY. SHE JUST LOVED YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN. SHE WAS PREGNANT SO I HAD TO TELL HER YOUR STORY. SHE LISTENED WITH HER WHOLE HEART, AND THAN SHE ASKED ME IF SHE COULD GIVE ME A HUG. THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD HUG THAT I REALLY NEEDED! SHE TOLD ME THAT HER BEST FRIEND HAD PASSED AWAY AND I ASKED HER IF SHE STILL SEES THE FAMILY. SHE SAID IT'S BEEN AWHILE. I TOLD HER THAT THEY NEED HER, THAT IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR HER FAMILY TO KNOW THAT SHE IS THINKING OF THEIR DAUGHTER, AND SHE NEEDS TO KEEP IN TOUCH SO THAT THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THEIR DAUGHTER HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN. IT'S SO HARD TO GO ON BUT WHEN THE VISITS STOP, OR PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT YOU, AS IF YOU NEVER WERE, THAT PAIN IS INDESCRIBABLE. YOU JUST FEEL SO ALONE. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE LEAVE MESSAGES FOR ME AND I NEVER GET BACK TO THEM, IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M BEING RUDE, IT'S BECAUSE MY MIND IS IN A THOUSAND PLACES, SO KEEP TRYING, AND FORGIVE ME. ANYWAY, THE GIRL SAID THAT KEEGAN AND I HAD A GLOW AROUND US, AND THAT WAS WHY SHE STOPPED TO VISIT WITH US. THAT MADE MY DAY, A STRANGERS HUG, AND EAR! SHE CALLED HER FRIEND'S MOM AS SHE WALKED AWAY. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, YOUR MOMMY LOVED YOU, AS I LOVED HER, AND I LOVE YOU! YOU WERE THE GREATEST GIFT THAT SHE EVER RECEIVED! YOU COMPLETED HER! SHE GLOWED BECAUSE OF YOU! I'M SO SORRY THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO STAY HERE ON EARTH WITH YOU AND ME, BUT SHE IS ALWAYS WATCHING OVER US, AND ALTHOUGH SHE IS NOT HERE IN BODY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PRESENCE OF HER WITH US! SHE WAS SO FULL OF LIFE AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT HER! I WILL WRITE TO YOU OFTEN TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT YOUR MOMMY! I'M SORRY THAT I DIDN'T DO IT SOONER, BUT I'VE BEEN BUSY TAKING CARE OF YOU, AND MISSING HER SO! I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS, MORE THAN ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY, JUST LIKE YOUR MOMMY! GOD LOVES MOMMY, AND GIVES HER HUGS! GOD LOVES YOU TOO! LOVE GAMAMA

CommentsSarah And Keegan Sarah I just wanted to let you know that the Barkers just broke up last week...you know all that hollywood stuff so no more tuesday night "Meet the Barkers" Its a bummer. I went out to dinner with the girls tonight it was alot of fun we talked about you and how much we miss you...you would love it Makaila is our entertainment...you should see her eat a strawberry, but we all miss you so much and wish you could be there with us. At dinner it got me thinking about all the times we would go to T.G.I.Fridays and I would order Cocunut Chix strips and you would get the Jack daniels strips with NO GREEN Garnish and Melissa would order breadstix for you two to share, because I don't eat red sauce, but Fridays would NEVER give you more than one container of dipping red sauce. You would get that look of disgust when the server would never bring you more. I miss everything about you that made you...you. You always deffended any of us if someone was making fun of us by telling them they were UGLY...You always stood up for us...you and erica both...no one will ever take your place...I don't think I have ever met anyone like you. Oh Grandpa is coming to town in the next month he misses you also you voice...you were his favorite. Keegan is amazing and getting bigger and bigger and I have about 4 months left to go until I pop!! God Bless and your in all our hearts.
CommentsDear Sarah, Cousin Mike hear. Your Mommy called me tonight and left me a voice mail. I am so sad that I wasn't hear to talk with her. She was hoping that I could help her, to not miss leaving you a note while she can't access your site while out of town this weekend. Well hear I go and try for all of my family, Sarah! You are our SPECIAL ANGEL FOREVER... I WATCHED YOU COME INTO THIS WORLD, AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WERE TAKEN FROM US. OUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, YOU WERE ALWAYS THE ONE TO STAKE YOU POSITION WITH ALL OF US, YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND. LITTLE KEEGAN IS SO LOVED AND TAKEN CARE OF, I THINK SHE WILL GROW UP KNOWING YOU LIKE YOU DID THE RAISING OF HER. TO ALL HER FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN THEMSELVES THROUGH ALL THAT HAS GONE ON, I PERSONALLY WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU AND GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE. DON'T CHANGE A THING! KEEP UP THE LOVE THAT SARAH HAS ALWAYS GIVEN! for my cousin DEBBIE, LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE YOUR MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, WE'RE IN PALM SPRINGS VISITING WITH YOUR AUNTS AND UNCLE KRIS. WE'RE GOING TO GO SWIMMING IN THEIR POOL AND I'M SURE KEEGAN WILL SPLASH EVERYONE! I'M SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO USE THEIR COMPUTER FOR A MOMENT. WE'RE HAVING FUN REMEMBERING CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT YOU AND COMPARING YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN TO YOU. SHE HAS A LOT OF YOU IN HER, BUT YET SHE IS HER OWN PERSON. I LOVE IT! WE'RE GOING TO GO SHOPPING LATER. IT'LL BE FUN. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHELLO BEST FRIEND :) GOSH I MISS YOU! SO I WENT TO STEVEN'S BROTHER'S WEDDING LAST NIGHT AND AS I WAS WATCHING THEM GETTING MARRIED I THOUGHT TO MYSELF HOW I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE YOU GET MARRIED AND BE IN YOUR WEDDING. AND I ALSO THOUGHT THAT I AM GOING TO FEEL SO HORRIBLE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE AS MY MAID OF HONOR AT MY WEDDING, BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR SPOT! AND AS I WAS GETTING READY I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU, THERE WAS 2 SPECIFIC THINGS I THOUGHT ABOUT... ONE WAS WHEN I WAS PAINTING MY TOE NAILS AND I REMEMBERED HOW WE WOULD PAINT EACH OTHERS TOE NAILS AND YOU WERE CRACK UP SO HARD BECAUSE I WOULD LET YOU PAINT MY ENTIRE FOOT, LIKE ALL OVER, NOT JUST THE TOES HAHAH AND ONCE WE GOT BRIGHT RED NAIL POLISH ALL OVER THE CARPET!!! THEN WE WOULD POUR NAIL POLISH REMOVER EVERYWHERE AND IT JUST DIDN'T QUITE WORK OUT.... HAHA AND ANOTHER THING I THOUGHT ABOUT WAS WHEN YOU WOULD BEG ME TO PART MY HAIR ON THE SIDE, NOT JUST A LITTLE ON THE SIDE LIKE MOST PEOPLE, NO YOU WOULD BASICALLY PUT ALL MY HAIR TO ONE SIDE AND LIE TO ME AND SAY IT LOOKED GOOD HAHAH THANKS! HAHAH AND THAT GOT ME THINKING AS WELL... ABOUT WHEN YOU AND LIZ, TREYS LITTLE SISTER (WHICH WAS OUR "FAKE" LITTLE SISTER TOO) THOUGHT I NEEDED A HAIR CUT IN THE 8TH GRADE AND ME THINKING OK... I LET YOU GUYS CUT MY HAIR WITH BARBIE SCISSORS!!! BAD IDEA! IT WAS ALL MESSED UP AND WE WERE CRYING LAUGHING SO HARD. I ENDED UP HAVING TO CUT IT TO MY SHOULDERS! GOSH WE WERE SOO GOOFY, I MISS BEING GOOFY WITH YOU! WE WERE ALSO SOO LAZY SOMETIMES. I REMEMBER WHEN JENNY STILLED LIVED AT HOME, IN NOW EMILY'S ROOM, AND SHE WOULD SOMETIMES LET US STAY THE NIGHT IN HER ROOM WHEN SHE WASN'T HOME. SO ONE TIME WE SLEPT IN THERE AND WOKE UP AND PLAYED TONY HAWK, THE VIDEO GAME ALL DAY AND I MEAN ALLLL DAY, UNTIL LIKE 7 AT NIGHT! THAT ALSO REMINDS ME WHEN YOU, EMILY, ALEX NEGRI, AND I WOULD LAY IN YOUR OLD HUGE BUNK BED TOGETHER AND WE WOULD ALL LINE UP AND SCRATCH EACH OTHERS BACKS, HMM AND SOMEHOW YOU WOULD ALWAYS END UP IN FRONT AND NOT HAVE TO SCRATCH ANYONE HAHA LUCKY :) AND ONE ONE OTHER TIME I SPENT THE NIGHT, I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT THIS ONE, BUT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE AND I WAS ON THE TOP BUNK, SO YOU CAME UP THERE WITH ME AND IN MY DREAM I HAD I WAS GETTING IN A FIGHT WITH MY BRO FOR KILLING MY NANO BABY HAH AND I GUESS IN MY SLEEP I HIT YOU, BUT WE LAUGHED ABOUT IT. SARAH I MISS YOU SOOO BAD, IT HURTS! I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS TOO NICOLE ONE OF OUR BEST BUDDIES FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL PAST AWAY THIS MORNING, ITS HORRIBLE FOR THINGS LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO SUCH GREAT PEOPLE, SUCH FUN PEOPLE. SO PLEASE SHOW HER THE FUN HANGOUTS UP THERE, I KNOW YOU GUYS PROBABLY ALREADY FOUND EACH OTHER, SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. AND SARAH AND NICOLE ALWAYS REMEMBER "SAMN FOR LIFE"!!! LOVE YOU SARE-BEAR! "SLOW DOWN SARAH SLOW DOWN!" HAHAHA

CommentsMY SARAH, WE HAD FUN IN PALM SPRINGS, I'M HAPPY TO BE HOME THOUGH. I WAS SO UPSET TO HEAR ABOUT NICOLE F. PASSING AWAY TODAY. I READ THE MESSAGE THAT SHE LEFT YOU ON JULY 27TH.

CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, WHEN WE CAME HOME FROM PALM SPRINGS MELISSA, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. WE LAID ON A BLANKET WITH A PRETTY NEW PARASOL (THAT I BOUGHT ON OUR TRIP) AND TALKED ABOUT YOU, AND HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU! WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT NICOLE, AND ALL THE GOOD TIMES YOU ALL HAD TOGETHER. MY HEART BREAKS FOR THEIR FAMILY! I KNOW THE PAIN THAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH! A FEW WEEKS AGO NICOLE HAD COME TO VISIT KEEGAN AND I WITH TIFFANI. SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL (AS ALWAYS), AND SHE TALKED ABOUT YOU, AND GOD A LOT. SHE WENT ON AND ON ABOUT HEAVEN, AND GOD. I REALLY ENJOYED OUR VISIT! SHE LOVED YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN, AND ENJOYED CUDDLING HER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE TOGETHER NOW. I'M STILL NOT USED TO YOU BEING GONE. I WENT INTO YOUR ROOM ON FRIDAY AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO LEAVE QUICKLY AS I RAN OUT IN TEARS. YOU SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN YOUR ROOM (ESPECIALLY THE LAST MONTH) AND THERE IS SUCH A PRESENCE OF YOU THERE. I JUST WANT YOU TO BE IN THERE SO BAD! PUPS DOES TOO! SHE STILL LOOKS FOR YOU. I HAVE TO WONDER WHAT SHE'S THINKING. I'M TAKING GOOD CARE OF HER THOUGH! I GIVE HER LOTS OF GOOD LOVING! I DON'T LET YOUR DAD TEASE HER EITHER. I TREAT HER JUST AS YOU DID! KEEGAN GETS SUCH A KICK OUT OF THAT LITTLE DOG! I THINK PUPCAKE IS REALLY GETTING USED TO KEEGAN BECAUSE SHE NOW ALLOWS KEEGAN TO TOUCH HER MORE, AND EVEN STOPS TO POSE FOR PICTURES WITH HER. KEEGAN HAD SO MUCH FUN TALKING TODAY. SHE LOVES TESTING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SOUNDS THAT SHE CAN MAKE. SHE LOVES TO LAUGH, AND SHE IS SO ADORABLE WHEN SHE DOES! WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN COMING UP WITH NEW WAYS TO MAKE HER LAUGH. EMILY HAD HER BUSTING UP EARLIER. MELISSA TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES. SPEAKING OF MELISSA, KEEGAN AND PUPCAKE HAVE HER WRAPPED AROUND THEIR LITTLE FINGER AND PAW. ON THE WAY HOME FROM VISITING YOU, KEEGAN WAS FUSSING IN THE CAR AND SHE REALLY WORKED MELISSA FOR ENTERTAINMENT. WHEN ALL ELSE HAD FAILED, MELISSA PULLED OUT HER CELL PHONE AND PLAYED SONGS FOR HER, BUT KEEGAN WOULD COMPLAIN IF SHE DIDN'T CHANGE THE TUNE QUICKLY. WHEN MELISSA LEFT THE HOUSE TONIGHT SHE WAS AFRAID PUPCAKE WAS GOING TO BARK AT HER AND WAKE THE BABY UP (KEEGAN WAS ASLEEP IN MY ARMS) SO MELISSA CRAWLED OUT OF THE HOUSE. IT WORKED, SHE DIDN'T BARK, WHERE NORMALLY SHE WOULD OF. I HAD TO LAUGH THOUGH, THEY WORK THAT POOR GIRL. EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I HAD FUN WITH MELISSA! WHAT CAN I SAY, SHE'S PART OF THE FAMILY. WE ALL MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsBefore your death I admit that I lived each day for granted, what a gift it is to be alive. You really made everyone around you realize that Sarah. I'm sorry that it took your life for me to understand the incredible gift that is given to me everyday. I think about you all the time especially Sundays when I go to church, and when I listen to that beautiful song "imagine" it allows me to reflect on how strong my faith is. I pray for you, your family, and friends. I pray that the Lord provide them with the strength they need. I pray that your daughter keegan be a mirror image of what a beautiful, and honest mother she had. I believe that your in her dreams every night telling her how much you love and miss her and, i believe that she will soon shower your friends and family with kisses from you. I just wanted to take the time to say 'thank you' for the lesson you have taught me. I now take every chance to tell my family and friends how much they truly mean me. I tell them I love them everyday and try to let go of old grudges and live each day without regret. thank you for that lesson. God Bless you and your family.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I LOVE YOU ANGEL! KEEGS WAS SO CUTE IN HER MORNING BATH. SHE HAD A SINK BATH, AND WATCHED EMILY'S FISH IN THE BOWL BESIDE THE SINK AS SHE SPLASHED AND PLAYED. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE PLAYING TAG AND HIDE N' SEEK. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER, AND WEAR EACH OTHER OUT. PUPCAKE LOVES EGGIN' HER ON. THEY ARE DOING WORK OUT ON OUR STREET, AND PUPCAKE IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. SHE KEEPS TRYING TO BARK, AND I SQUIRT HER WITH A WATER BOTTLE. SUGAR IS AFRAID TO BARK BECAUSE SHE HATES WATER. PUPCAKE WENT FROM CONSTANT BARKING TO A LITTLE WHISPER OF A BARK. I THINK SHE'S GETTING IT. I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET A SHOCK COLLAR LIKE SOME PEOPLE SUGGESTED. I'M STILL WORKING ON MY LIST OF THINGS TO DO. IT NEVER ENDS! KEEGAN IS WATCHING HER BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO. SHE HAS THE HICK UPS. I REMEMBER WHEN MIKE SAID HE'D PAY HER A QUARTER FOR EACH HICK UP, AND THAN HE FOUND OUT THAT SHE CAN HICK UP FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND HE'D GO BROKE ON THAT ONE. IT WAS FUNNY! I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE MESSAGES OF MEMORIES WITH YOU! I'M SO EXCITED THAT KEEGAN WILL HAVE ALL OF THOSE PRECIOUS MEMORIES TO READ SOMEDAY! I'M SO HAPPY THAT NICOLE LEFT ONE TOO BECAUSE NOW SHE IS GONE AND KEEGAN HAS A PIECE OF YOU BECAUSE SHE TOOK THE TIME TO DO THAT. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO LEAVE MEMORIES ON THIS WEBPAGE FOR KEEGAN, YOU CAN ADDRESS THEM TO SARAH OR KEEGAN. WELL MY LOVE, I'VE GOT TO GO GET BUSY GETTING THINGS DONE. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS, AND WITH ME! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY

CommentsPSS YOUR BABY IS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN
CommentsMY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS SARAH, I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I'M SO TIRED OF THIS HEARTACHE! I JUST WANT TO CLOSE MY EYES AND BE WITH YOU! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN GET OVER QUICKLY. LOSING A CHILD IS THE MOST PAINFUL LOSS. YOU ARE A PART OF ME. I CAN REMEMBER YOU GROWING INSIDE ME, THE LOVE I FELT FOR YOU EVEN THAN, BEFORE WE MET. WATCHING YOU GROW FROM A LITTLE BABE TO AN AMAZING BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN, AND MOTHER IS TREASURED TIME TO ME! I JUST FEEL SO CHEATED THAT YOU WERE RIPPED OUT OF OUR LIVES SO SENSELESSLY. YOU ARE FOREVER A PART OF ME, AND ALL THOSE YOU TOUCHED! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN WILL KNOW YOU THROUGH ALL OF US. SHE WILL KNOW, AND FEEL THE LOVE YOU GAVE HER! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT YOU. YOUR MOMMY GLOWED WITH SUCH A LOVE FOR YOU, AND I TOO GLOWED AT THE THOUGHT OF YOU! I LOVED YOU FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT THAT I KNEW ABOUT YOU! YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE! A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD! YOUR MOMMY WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU, AND LOVE YOU! WE ALL LOVE YOU! IT WAS SO FUN WATCHING YOUR MOMMY'S TUMMY GROW, WAITING TO HOLD YOU. I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. YOU WERE A WEEK LATE AND THEY WERE GOING TO INDUCE LABOR BUT YOU DECIDED THAT NO ONE WAS GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO SO LABOR BEGAN VERY EARLY MORNING THE DAY SHE WAS TO BE INDUCED. YOUR MOMMY AND I WATCHED A MOVIE "JUST LIKE HEAVEN" TO PASS SOME TIME. SHE WAS HAVING A LOT OF BACK LABOR (JUST LIKE I HAD WITH MY KIDS) AND WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER THE MOVIE WAS OVER. YOUR DADDY WANTED TO MEET HER AT THE HOSPITAL AFTER SHE WAS CHECKED IN. WHEN WE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL SHE WAS A BIT SCARED, I TOLD HER EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE FINE, THIS WAS THE DAY THAT SHE HAD BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO, MEETING HER PRECIOUS BABY! LABOR WAS LONG, TWENTY ONE HOURS! SHE WAS DILATED TO TEN FOR FOUR HOURS. SHE PUSHED FOR OVER AN HOUR! YOUR DADDY KEPT SAYING GO RED! (HE'S THE ONLY PERSON THAT COULD EVER GET AWAY WITH CALLING HER RED). I WOULD LOOK HER IN THE EYES AND LET HER KNOW IT WAS ALMOST OVER AND THAT SHE COULD DO IT EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS SO WORN OUT. IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, BUT THE MOMENT YOU CAME OUT, SHE WAS RADIANT! THE LOVE IN THE ROOM WAS AMAZING! THEY COULDN'T KEEP ANY OF US OUT! AFTER WE ALL SPENT TIME WITH YOU, WE LEFT, SO THAT YOU, YOUR MOMMY, AND DADDY COULD HAVE TIME TOGETHER, ALONE. YOU AND YOUR MOMMY HAD TO SPEND AN EXTRA DAY IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE YOUR MOMMY HAD HAD A HIGH FEVER DURING LABOR. THE DAY AFTER YOU WERE BORN, YOUR GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER ON YOUR MOMMY'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY PASSED AWAY. YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER ON YOUR DADDY'S SIDE PASSED AWAY SOMETIME IN THOSE DAYS ALSO. I DIDN'T TELL YOUR MOMMY UNTIL AFTER YOU TWO CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN YOUR HOMECOMING. I WAITED FOR A FEW HOURS UNTIL YOU TWO WERE SETTLED IN, AND THAN I HAD TO BREAK THE NEWS. OF COURSE WE WERE ALL HEARTBROKEN. YOUR MOMMY WANTED HER GREAT GRANDFATHER TO SEE YOU SO MUCH. HE DID GET TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BIRTH BEFORE HE DIED THOUGH. YOUR MOMMY ALSO REALLY WANTED A FIVE GENERATION PICTURE, LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT THE FOUR GENERATION PICTURE THAT WE TOOK AT HIS FUNERAL WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE TAKEN BEFORE YOUR MOMMY JOINED HIM IN HEAVEN. WELL BABY GIRL, I'LL TELL YOU MORE STORIES ABOUT YOU, AND YOUR MOMMY ANOTHER DAY. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER, JUST LIKE MOMMY! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsHey Sarah, I thought of you today. You always had something funny to say. Last night I needed something to drink so what did I grab. A Pepsi Than I though what did sarah say. yes it was late. So I put it back and had water. Yes I am drinking Less soda I am drinking water. We all Love and Miss you. We will see you someday. God Bless your Family. and my prayers are with them.
CommentsHey you. I keep missing you more and more, and keep closing my eyes thinking that this is not real, that you are still at home with little keegs, and working the sunglass cart. I have so many memories with you, i could write for days! I remember one time when i came to visit you at the sunglass cart. (you know cause melissa and i would come just hang out for hours so you wouldnt be alone) and you were hungry. I'm like, ok lets go get something to eat! And you told me how Cory never lets you take a lunch- and i'm like yes he will! So you quietly told me to ask. I'm like ok Cory, sarah is hungry and we are going to eat. He said "ok" and you were all, OMG! This is the first time he's letting me take a lunch break. Ever since then, Mike and Cory knew we were trouble! Mike would call us double trouble- haha remember we weren't allowed to go over to SCHMEEEDAS cart because we were too loud! Of course everyone remembers to never EVER tell you that your hair was red.. Sometimes you'd let me slide but normally you'd do the "Yaaaaaaa, try strawberry blonde!" No one would even try it because they knew it wasn't ok. Or when i'd come over to your house and we'd hang out in your room. One time particularly we were switching belly button rings. You wanted to borrow one of mine and You said I could borrow one of yours- but you didn't really let me pick which one i wanted, you chose it for me. Of course I loved it! (and it's been in since your funeral. I won't ever take it out!) I remember when you'd always come over- like everyday for a while! We would just sit on my couch with NIRMS and who ever else was over, we had so much fun! Remember the time when my mom ordered pat and oscars cause people were coming over that night. I had you come with me to pick it up- we stopped at the albertsons too to get some sodas but there was barely enough room, we thought it was so funny that we had so much food! but we were soo hungry!!! the pizzas were burning your legs, but my car was so small we didn't have anywhere to put them! It was great, the time when you, melissa, and I all tried sleeping in my bed together. hahaha! The second we layed down we decided that we were hungry. We didn't want to go downstairs so we called Danny S. to bring us Jack in the Box. We all ordered a hamburger. Once danny got there, you didn't even want to eat! I think you were sleeping already, so Melissa and I ate together. She even ate EVERYTHING on it, which was prob. the only time she ate everything on a hamburger. Or what about the time when you came down to encinitas with me. You and your strawberry shortcake pajamas and your turqouis furry slippers (that i still have!!) OMG we were so annoying to everyone! haha, we wouldn't let anyone sleep, we just kept screaming "BLAAAAH LATER GRANDMA!" "LAAATER" "GOODNIGHT GRANDMA!" and throwing up the "WHATEVER" fingers! But they couldn't help but laugh. We always had so much fun after school- you, melissa and i, always having to go out to lunch! haha we were always eating something! Taco bell of course, and stadium, or jack in the box... remember when Melissa had to drive the van to school and we went through the drive-thru at jack in the box. hahha we were laughing so hard! We'd take pictures everywhere, gosh I have some of the funniest pictures together. =) DOUBLE STAMPERS! And how we would just sit in Stadium pizza for hours- you showing off what Mike bought you (like your ipod, your new phone, some new shoes....haha, I was so jealous!)We'd take soo many pictures, and we'd all just talk for hours! We'd have to "switch it up" a few times, and we'd go to the one off margarita instead of jefferson. I remember the last time we hung out like it was yesterday. I came to see you at the mall. I came up to get my nails done and I waited for you to get off work so you could come get shawn a pair of shoes with me. the whole time we were trying to figure out what you were going to name Keegan.. you kept saying you liked Zoe, but you didnt know if you REALLY liked it. You kept talking about Mike and how excited you were to have Keegan. We joked the entire time of how throughout highschool you and I would always say that we didnt want to be moms for a long time, and then we were laughing and you were all "and look what happened!" but you were soo excited! I'll never forget you, melissa and i always going into Spence's class before we left school. SPENCE CANCE UTS LATES!!! or the time when you came with me to get our hair done for our winter formal.... we made my mom keep taking pictures of us, so we were late! But we had to have some cute ones, some WHATEVER ones, and some funny ones! Oh, and you wanted me to do your makeup that night too! ;) I will NEVER forget the time when you named yourself sarah1 and me sarah2. I asked you why you got number one and i got number two, and you were all "I'm special... blaaa" We were always laughing, having the best time! I love you and I miss you so much. I know you're having fun up there. Keep shining down on little keegs, as I know you do all day long. I LOVE YOU.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, GOOD MORNING SWEETHEART! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! LITTLE KEEGS IS PLAYING WITH HER TOYS AS PUPS TRIES TO JOIN IN. THEY'RE SO CUTE! MIKE WILL BE OVER IN A BIT TO PICK UP KEEGAN. SHE IS GOING TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH HIM. I'M GOING TO HANG OUT WITH AUNT SUSAN, AND GET SOME STUFF DONE, AND THAN DO SOMETHING FUN. KEEGAN IS TALKING UP A STORM, TESTING ALL THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS SHE CAN MAKE, AND THE DIFFERENT TONES, HIGH AND LOW. SHE IS SO ADORABLE! I BOUGHT KEEGAN A HIGHCHAIR THAT ATTACHES TO A CHAIR. EMILY AND I JUST FED HER GREEN BEANS, HER FIRST VEGETABLE, AND FIRST SPOON FED FOOD. SHE WAS SO CUTE, AND MADE SOME FUNNY FACES! I TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES, AS ALWAYS. I'LL PUT ONE ON THIS WEBPAGE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MISS MOST ABOUT YOU IS GETTING TO SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE AS KEEGAN DOES SOMETHING NEW. YOU WERE SO PROUD OF HER, AND YOU ENJOYED EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. WE HAD A SONG FOR EVERYTHING. THE SMELLY NECK SONG (LIKE SMELLY CAT, FROM "FRIENDS") THAT YOU CAME UP WITH. THE POOPIE SONG (WHEN SHE HAS A DIRTY DIAPER). WE HAD A LOT OF FUN! I STILL SING THOSE SONGS TO HER, AND NORMAL ONES TOO. SHE'S A VERY HAPPY LITTLE BABY! EVERYONE ALWAYS COMMENTS ON WHAT A WONDERFUL BABY SHE IS! THEY ALSO ALWAYS SAY HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS! I SAY DUH, SHE LOOKS LIKE HER MOMMY! YES, SHE LOOKS LIKE MIKE TOO. SHE GOT THE BEST OF BOTH OF YOU! LUCKILY LITTLE GIRL! WELL MY PRECIOUS, I'VE GOT TO GO FOR NOW. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, AUNT SUSAN AND I WENT OUT TO LUNCH, AND THAN STOPPED BY TO SAY HI TO ZIM, THAN WE WENT TO THE DISNEY STORE TO VISIT YOUR COUSIN AMANDA. AMANDA IS ALWAYS SO THOUGHTFUL AND BUYS KEEGAN DISNEY CLOTHES AND TOYS ALL THE TIME. TODAY SHE EVEN BOUGHT ME A CUTE DISNEY WALLET THAT WAS ON SALE. NOW I WILL BE ABLE TO FIND MY LICENSE AND ATM CARD, YEAH! WHILE WE WERE IN THE DISNEY STORE, YOUR FRIEND AUTUMN CAME IN (SHE WAS LOOKING FOR ME) AND WE HAD A NICE VISIT. I MENTIONED TO HER THAT I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOUR FRIENDS WOULD LEAVE MEMORIES OF YOU ON THIS WEBPAGE. SHE SAID THAT SHE HADN'T BEEN ON THE WEB PAGE IN AWHILE. SHE THAN BEGAN TO TELL ME CUTE STORIES OF WHEN YOU TWO USED TO WORK TOGETHER, FUN THINGS THAT YOU DID TOGETHER. I SAID THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF STORIES THAT I WANT KEEGAN TO BE ABLE TO READ ABOUT HER MOMMY. I TOLD AUTUMN THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE COMMENTS FROM THIS WEBPAGE INTO A BOOK FOR KEEGAN. SHE WAS SURPRISED AND SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I ASKED HER TO PASS IT ALONG. I TOLD HER THAT PEOPLE CAN DIRECT THE COMMENT TO YOU OR TO KEEGAN. SHE WAS SO FUNNY WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT ON THE EVE OF YOUR BIRTHDAY, AROUND MIDNIGHT, SHE, AND A FRIEND WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. SHE SAID THAT THEY HOPPED THE FENCE. I LAUGHED, THAN I TOLD HER THAT THERE IS A LITTLE GATE TO THE SIDE SO ANYONE CAN GO IN ANYTIME, 365 DAYS A YEAR. SHE LAUGHED TOO. WHEN THE THREE OF US LEFT THE DISNEY STORE WE WENT BY ZIM AGAIN. WE GOT TALKING AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD GONE TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE IN THE NIGHT AND HE HOPPED THE FENCE. I LAUGHED AGAIN! I TOLD THEM THAT YOU WERE PROBABLY STANDING OVER AT THE GATE SAYING DUH!!! I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER FENCE HOPPERS THERE ARE OUT THERE. HOW FUNNY. WHEN AUNT SUSAN AND I LEFT WE WENT OVER TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. WE DIDN'T HOP ANY FENCES, ALTHOUGH IT WAS PAST CLOSING TIME, THE BIG GATE WAS OPEN AND THEY LET US DRIVE IN. AUNT SUSAN WATERED YOUR PLANTS AT THE BACK WALL AND YOUR GRAVE. I SAW THE MAN THAT WORKS AT THE PLACE WHERE THEY MAKE THE HEADSTONES AND WAS ABLE TO ASK HIM A FEW FINAL QUESTIONS SO NOW I CAN CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO ORDER YOUR HEADSTONE. I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE, PUT A KISS IN MY HAND AND RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS WITH AN "I LOVE YOU"! AFTER AUNT SUSAN DROPPED ME OFF AT HOME I STARTED CLEANING. AT FIRST I DID RANDOM CLEANING, BUT THAN I ENDED UP IN KEEGAN'S ROOM AND I TOTALLY CLEANED HER CLOSET. I TOOK OUT THE CLOTHES THAT SHE HAS OUT GROWN, ADDED THE ONES THAT SHE IS GROWING INTO, AND ORGANIZED (BY COLOR, OF COURSE). THAN, I ORGANIZED HER TOYS ACCORDING TO AGE. A BUNCH OF THE NEIGHBOR KIDS CAME OVER TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP WITH KEEGAN, AND THEY WERE SO DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE WASN'T HERE, BUT WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY COULD COME IN AND HELP ME IN HER ROOM. THEY WERE SO CUTE, I COULDN'T TURN THEM DOWN, AND THEY REALLY DID HELP ME WITH THE TOYS. IT FINALLY LOOKS GOOD AGAIN, AND I CAN FIND THINGS, YEAH! WELL, NOW COMES THE HARD PART, I THINK I MIGHT GO WORK ON YOUR ROOM. I REALLY NEED TO DO IT. NOT JUST BECAUSE IT REALLY NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING, AND SOME ORGANIZATION, BUT BECAUSE I NEED TO WORK THROUGH SOME EMOTIONS IN THERE TOO. I'M SURE PUPS WILL FOLLOW. I LOVE YOU BABY, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMy dear Sarah, I have had a really hard time dealing with you being gone. I have not written to you because i cant accept the fact that you are gone. i LOVED YOU AND LOVE YOU STILL so much and i hope i showed that to you. i don't want to write sad memories to you because i remember you by all the good ones we have but you need to know. The night you passed away i was driving to work and i thought about you and i went to call you but my phone was dead. I had talked to you about 2 weeks before that while i was waiting for my medicine and we had planned on going to lunch or just hanging out. i never knew that you were really sick. I knew that you were sick because we had compared stories but i didn't know that you were sick and getting worse. i wished for you to feel better that day and you wished me the same. i wanted so bad to just stop by and say hi but i was already late for work. Then the next few days i don't remember what happened but the day i found out about you i was in shock. I cried so hard!!! i sat in the locker room for about 5 minutes and cried and finally my best friend ashlee came in looking for me. Well they made me leave work cause i couldn't breathe or even talk right for that matter. i tried to talk to my tables and sarah if you could see there faces. it almost made me laugh because i was one minute happy and energetic and then the next time they saw me my face was bright red and puffy and they just looked at me funny. Then i thought because i heard it through my space that it could be false so i called mike. he was very calm and so i thought everything was ok. i never really asked if you passed away i just said i heard things and it went from there. Then on the way home the song "i can only imagine" came on and i was so hysterical i could barely see anything. by the time i got home to tell my mom i couldn't even park so i left my car running in the middle of the street. lucky for me no one drove by haha! I cried a lot after that as well. then i was driving to work and i noticed that they were having a car wash at the albertson's parking lot and i saw your name on a poster board and i freaked out. i went to work and got off as early as i could and went back. i thought every one would be gone by then but they were still all there. when i saw your mom and dad and sisters and mike everyone seemed okay. your mom told me its ok to cry but happy thoughts is better. i cried a little after that but then i just thought about all our good memories we had. i remember different and new things every day about us. sometimes i laugh (most of the time) and sometimes i get sad but i know you are better now and you are watching over me and everyone that you were close to and i feel okay. i know i am writing you a book in just one comment, mom this is going to be a long book for keegan to read, but there is so much to say. it has been a long time since i have physiacally talk to you. i say things to you all the time. Sometimes i think you hear me sometimes i don't but i know i have said them for you. Everyone has been telling you how beautiful your daughter is and she is. she is gorgeous. every time i go any where i always stop by the little girls section to see what cute outfits they have that i can buy your little Keegan. i have a pile of them right now. i tracked down your mom today because i missed them and i missed you. i know she told you about our little hopping the fence story. so next time i go late at night can you hold the gate open for me so i can see it? at least i was not the only one who didn't know it was there. i feel better now that i have written and i will continue to write our memories for you me and keegan so that me and you can laugh at them now and Keegan can laugh at what dorks we were when she gets older. i think i have written enough for one comment i will be back soon and i am going to visit your grave tomorrow. i will bring you beautiful flowers and i am just going to enjoy your swing for a while as well. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOUR DAUGHTER TOO. hugs and kisses love always autumn p.s. tanks mom for encouraging me to write and talk to sarah i love you too.
CommentsMY SARAH, I DID A LOT OF CLEANING IN YOUR ROOM, AND I WAS FINE FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I PICKED UP YOUR BROWN JACKET, AND THAN I LOST IT. I JUST STOOD THERE HUGGING IT, CRYING, AND EMILY CAME HOME AND FOUND ME CRYING. EMILY HUGGED ME, AND WE CRIED TOGETHER. I TOLD HER, I MISS MY BABY, I WANT YOU BACK. SHE SAID SHE MISSES YOU TOO. I TOLD HER THAT I NEED HER TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH ME, I'M LONELY! AS WE WERE HUGGING SOMEONE KEPT TRYING TO CALL MY CELL PHONE (WHICH WAS IN MY POCKET), BUT I DIDN'T ANSWER. THE NEXT THING I KNEW JENNY WAS COMING IN THE HOUSE. (SHE HAD BEEN TRYING TO CALL ME). SHE CAME UPSTAIRS AND SAID SHE WAS THINKING OF ME AND THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD DROP BY. WE ALL CRIED, AND LAUGHED, AND ENJOYED EACH OTHER. I TOLD THE GIRLS THAT I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE TOGETHER, AND THAT WE NEEDED TO DO IT MORE OFTEN! I GOT A LOT DONE IN YOUR ROOM. I'M NOT CHANGING IT, JUST CLEANING AND ORGANIZING. I DID PACK SOME SPECIAL THINGS OF YOURS AWAY FOR KEEGAN. SHE GETS THE BEST THINGS, AND THE MOST. I'LL DO A LITTLE AT A TIME, BUT I'M KEEPING IT YOUR ROOM! PUPS WAS SO HAPPY TO BE IN THERE THAT SHE FELL ASLEEP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. I'M HAPPY THAT I FINALLY SPENT SOME TIME IN YOUR ROOM, EVEN IF IT WAS HARD. WELL I BETTER GO TO BED BECAUSE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT LITTLE KEEGAN WILL BE COMING HOME AND WANTING HER GAMAMA'S ATTENTION! I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS. I'M GOING TO GO OUT AND WASH YOUR CAR, AND THAN I'M GOING TO ASK EMILY TO PUT THE STICKER THAT I BOUGHT YESTERDAY ON THE BACK WINDOW. LITTLE KEEGS AND I WILL BE OVER LATER TO VISIT YOU. I TRIED TO CALL AUTUMN TO SEE IF SHE MIGHT WANT TO GO TOGETHER, SINCE SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TODAY. I'M EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF THE WORK THAT I GOT DONE YESTERDAY SO I THINK I'LL KEEP GOING ON THAT. I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO GET DONE IN MY ROOM TOO AS THAT'S THE ROOM THAT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO GET THROWN IN. I'LL PUT A BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO ON IN MY ROOM WHILE I CLEAN SO THAT KEEGAN WILL BE HAPPY. MAYBE I SHOULD INVITE UNCLE RICHARD OVER TOO, I UNDERSTAND THAT HE REALLY ENJOYS THOSE VIDEOS TOO. HOW FUNNY! I SLEPT WITH YOUR BROWN JACKET LAST NIGHT. IT SMELLS JUST LIKE YOU! I HUGGED IT THE WAY THAT I WANT TO HUG YOU, GOOD AND TIGHT! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentssarah i miss you and I'll never forget the time when you taught me how to write "s"'s the way you do... because we thought the way i wrote our names wasnt as cute...or the time when we fought over what color plugs we were going to get each other for christmas because we wanted to get each other the coolest colors. You could always make me smile! love you.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN TOOK A TWO AND A HALF HOUR NAP IN MY ARMS. SHE ALWAYS SLEEPS SO GOOD IN MY ARMS, DRAPED ACROSS MY CHEST. EVERY TIME I LAY HER DOWN FOR A NAP SHE ONLY SLEEPS ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES, BUT BOY DOES SHE SLEEP WHEN SHE IS HELD. SOME MAY SAY, SPOILED BABY, BUT I SAY, WELL LOVED BABY! SHE SLEEPS VERY WELL AT NIGHT ON HER OWN THOUGH. AUTUMN CAME OVER TODAY WITH A ARMFUL OF CLOTHES FOR KEEGAN, AND SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS FOR YOU. WE WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE, AND AUTUMN ARRANGED YOUR FLOWERS. WE HAD A NICE VISIT AS KEEGAN SLEPT IN HER CAR SEAT NEXT TO YOUR GRAVE. (OH BY THE WAY, I SHOWED AUTUMN THE LITTLE SIDE GATE AND SHE LAUGHED! SHE SAID "IT WAS DARK AND I DIDN'T SEE IT", AND SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE FELT BETTER TO KNOW THAT SHE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE TO HOP THE FENCE). WHEN WE GOT HOME MELISSA CAME OVER. EMILY, MELISSA, AUTUMN, KEEGAN AND I HUNG OUT IN KEEGAN'S ROOM. THEY PLAYED WITH KEEGAN AND TOOK PICTURES. LATER, WE ORDERED PIZZA, AND ATE AS KEEGAN SLEPT ON AUTUMN'S SHOULDER. MELISSA ORGANIZED PICTURES IN THE COMPUTER AND PUT THEM INTO FILES. WE ALL HAD A NICE VISIT. JESSICA, LAURA, AND A FRIEND CAME OVER TO PICK ME UP SO WE COULD GO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. JESSICA HAD BOUGHT SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND SHE PLACED THEM BESIDE THE ONES THAT AUTUMN HAD BROUGHT EARLIER. YOU ARE SO SPOILED! IT LOOKED BEAUTIFUL! THEY LOVED YOUR GLIDER BENCH, AND JESSICA SAID THAT SHE WOULD LOVE TO HELP WITH THE MEMORIAL SPOT. WE HAD A NICE VISIT, AND SHARED PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF YOU WITH EACH OTHER. THEY MISS YOU, AS I DO, AND EVERYONE DOES! I JUST LOVE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY ARE MY FRIENDS TOO! I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS ANGEL! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsTO:MRS.Dennis Don't Worry Mommy Mommy please don't be sad, I miss you so much too. It's beautiful here, but I worry a lot about you. I sleep with angels watching me... there is only love up here. I am never lonely or afraid because God is so very near. I walk with Jesus every day, He is very kind and loving. Don't worry Mom, He holds my hand when we cross a golden street. I never cry or hurt myself. I see Grandpa every day. I play and laugh and sing a lot and I hear you when you pray. Please Mommy, don't be mad at God, you see He loves me too. And even though you are not with me, I am really still with you.
CommentsTO WHOM EVER IS LEAVING MESSAGES FROM SARAH, PLEASE STOP!!!! I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT I AM MAD AT GOD, IN FACT I HAVE SAID THE OPPOSITE, THAT I AM NOT MAD AT GOD! I HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THAT I KNOW THAT SARAH IS IN THE MOST WONDERFUL PLACE, AND THAT I AM COMFORTED BY THAT! IT IS WRONG FOR YOU TO SPEAK FOR SARAH ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAY WOULD NOT BE HER WORDS AT ALL! SARAH WOULD BE HAPPY THAT I AM MAD AT THOSE THAT DID THIS TO HER. IT WAS NOT GOD, BUT MAN. SARAH WOULD NOT SIT BACK AND SAY THIS IS OK, SHE WOULD FIGHT, FIGHT FOR THIS, AND FIGHT THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. SHE DIED A HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATH, AND SHE WAS RIPPED FROM HER THREE MONTH OLD BABY, WHY IS THAT OK WITH YOU? SHE HAD POOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, WHICH COST HER HER LIFE. SARAH WOULD SAY, YOU KEEP FIGHTING FOR ME MOM! SARAH WOULD ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I, AS OTHERS NEED TO GRIEVE. WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT? I DON'T SPEND ALL OF MY TIME GRIEVING, I HAVE A LOT OF HAPPY TIME. MORE HAPPY TIME THAN GRIEVING, BUT I DO GRIEVE. SO I AM ASKING YOU, OUT OF RESPECT FOR SARAH AND RESPECT FOR THE GRIEVING PLEASE DON'T SPEAK FOR SARAH, AND PLEASE DON'T LECTURE ME FOR GRIEVING, IT IS A NATURAL PROCESS. THANK YOU! SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS ASLEEP IN HER CRIB, LAYING ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SOFT, FLUFFY LAVENDER BLANKET THAT I GAVE HER FOR EASTER. YOU LOVED THAT BLANKET! SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S FLOATING ON A CLOUD WHEN SHE LAYS ON IT. PUPS IS RUNNING AROUND PLAYING WITH HER KITTY TOY. I'VE GOT A LOT TO GET DONE, BUT I HAD TO TAKE A MOMENT TO VISIT WITH YOU. I LOVE WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, GLANCING AT DIFFERENT PICTURES OF YOU. THEY MAKE ME SMILE MOST OF THE TIME. I'M SO GLAD THAT I LOVE TAKING PICTURES, AND I'M ALSO SO HAPPY THAT YOU HAD THOSE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES TAKEN WHEN YOU WERE PREGNANT. YOU ABSOLUTELY GLOW IN THOSE PICTURES! I CLEANED YOUR CAR YESTERDAY, AND TODAY EMILY PUT THE "IN LOVING MEMORY" STICKER ON THE BACK WINDOW FOR ME. IT LOOKS REAL NICE. WELL, PUPS JUST SETTLED DOWN AND IS ASLEEP AT MY FEET, AND KEEGAN IS STILL ASLEEP ON HER FLUFFY CLOUD BLANKET, SO I THINK I'LL GET BUSY ON SOME OF MY CHORES. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHI SARE-BEAR. LAST NIGHT I HAD FUN WITH YOUR MOM AND EVERYONE... ESPECIALLY KEEGS. YOUR MOM ALWAYS MAKES US HOT CHOCOLATE MMMM ITS SOO YUMMY I LOVE IT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I LOVE IS HER PANCAKES, I ALWAYS TOLD YOU THEY ARE THE ONLY PANCAKES I WILL EVER EAT, ALL OTHERS ARE NASTY. YESTERDAY I WAS TELLING YOUR MOM SOME OLD FUNNY MEMORIES OF YOU AND I. LIKE HOW SENIOR YEAR I ALWAYS DROVE US, SO ON THE WAY HOME WE WOULD STOP BY JACK IN THE BOX MOST OF THE TIME, AND THE REASON WHY WAS BECAUSE WE LIKED TO ORDER THE SAME EXACT THING EVERY TIME SO WE COULD HEAR THE LADY SAY THE TOTAL WAS 7.77 OUR ORDER WAS 2 OREO SHAKES AND 2 BIG PLAIN CHEESE BURGERS. ANOTHER THING I WAS SHARING WITH HER WAS HOW WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER OUR MOMS WOULD DROP US OFF AT TARGET AND FOR SOME REASON WE LIKED TO JUST HANG OUT THERE?? HAHA AND ONE TIME WE SAID "OK FILL UP A CART AS MUCH STUFF AS YOU CAN AND MEET BACK AT THE PRICE CHECK" WE WOULD SEE WHO HAD THE MOST EXPENSIVE CART, AND I FEEL BAD BECAUSE WE WOULD JUST LEAVE THE CARTS THERE! I FOUND SOME FUNNY OLD PICTURES OF YOU NICOLE AND I. WE WERE DRESSING UP IN ANYTHING WE COULD FIND IN YOUR ROOM, IT LOOKS PRETTY SILLY! IT WAS THE SAME ROOM THAT WHEN THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE I WAS ASLEEP ON YOUR FLOOR AND YOU TURNED TO ME AND SAID "STOP KICKING MY BED!" AND I WASN'T, SO WE BOTH GOT THE MOST SCARED LOOK ON OUR FACES! AND I JUMPED UP IN THE BED WITH YOU AND WE SQUEEZED EACH OTHER AND SCREAMED! HAHAHA THEN... THIS IS THE FUNNY PART YOUR DAD CAME RUNNING INTO YOUR ROOM AND HE WAS JUST WEARING HIS UNDERWEAR AHAHAHAH SO IT MADE US START TO LAUGH SOOO HARD AND EVERYTHING WAS BETTER! I LOVE YOU MY SARAH ALWAYS AND FOREVER
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT CATHEY AND MANDYKINS TODAY. CATHEY'S SISTER IS VISITING AND SHE WAS SO SWEET TO ME, SHE CAME OVER AND HUGGED ME AND SAID I'M SO SORRY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, AND I TOLD HER YOU JUST SAID THE PERFECT THING. WE ALL HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER. WE WENT SHOPPING, AND I BOUGHT KEEGAN A COUPLE OF NEW HEADBANDS THAT ARE REALLY CUTE. IT'S FUNNY, IF I DON'T HAVE A HEADBAND ON HER THAN PEOPLE ASK ME WHERE IT IS, AND THEY WANT ME TO PUT ONE ON HER. SHE'S SO ADORABLE NO MATTER WHAT, BUT THE HEADBANDS ARE A FINISHING TOUCH. I TRY TO ALWAYS DRESS HER CUTE, AND GIRLY, JUST LIKE I DRESSED YOU AND YOUR SISTERS. KEEGAN AND I STAYED AT CATHEY'S HOUSE UNTIL 8:00 BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. KEEGAN HAD SO MUCH FUN ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR, PLAYING WITH HER TOYS. SHE WAS SO CUTE! AFTER DINNER, MIKE (CATHEY'S HUSBAND) HELD KEEGAN AND SHE FELL ASLEEP IN HIS ARMS. SHE LOOKED SO PRECIOUS! SHE SLEPT THE WHOLE WAY HOME AND WENT STRAIGHT TO BED WITHOUT WAKING UP. I ASKED YOUR DAD TO LISTEN FOR HER SO I COULD LEAVE REAL QUICK TO GO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE TO GO WITH ME, SO I TALKED ON MY CELL PHONE TO A FRIEND (BECAUSE IT WAS DARK, AND PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT ME). I LOVED MELISSA'S MESSAGE, ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE. I LAUGHED SO MUCH! I'M SO EXCITED WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE MEMORIES OF YOU. SO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT, AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO READ THEM, AND I KNOW KEEGAN WILL REALLY ENJOY THEM SOMEDAY! BY THE WAY, PUPCAKE TOOK A SHOWER WITH ME, SHE SMELLS JUST LIKE A FLOWER, AND SHE IS SO SOFT, SHE IS SITTING HERE ON MY LAP AS I WRITE TO YOU. I WISH THAT I COULD TELL SOME OF THE CUTE STORIES THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECENTLY TOLD ME ABOUT YOU BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD WRITE THEM ON THIS WEBPAGE SO I'LL LET THEM TELL THE STORIES. YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS. YOUR LITTLE KEEGS SLEPT SO GOOD LAST NIGHT. SHE WENT TO SLEEP AT 8:00 AND WOKE UP AT 7:38 THIS MORNING. SHE WOKE UP TWICE DURING THE NIGHT FOR A DIAPER CHANGE AND BOTTLE BUT QUICKLY WENT BACK TO SLEEP. I WASN'T SO LUCKY, I WENT TO BED AT 2:15 AND EACH TIME SHE WOKE UP MY HEAD WAS SO FULL OF THOUGHTS OF YOU THAT I HAD A HARD TIME GOING BACK TO SLEEP. KEEGAN WOKE UP SO FULL OF ENERGY AND SMILES! SHE'S SITTING IN HER WALKER RIGHT BESIDE ME WATCHING HER BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO, AND PLAYING WITH SOME TOYS. SUGAR WALKED BY HER AND GAVE HER A BIG KISS. SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES DOGS! KEEGAN IS GROWING SO FAST THAT AT FIVE MONTHS SOME OF HER SIX MONTH CLOTHES ARE SNUG ON HER. PUPS IS ASLEEP ON HER QUEEN BED UNDERNEATH THE COMPUTER DESK. SHE'S SO CUTE! PRETTY SOON KEEGAN AND I ARE GOING TO GO SHOPPING, AND THAN WE'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU. I MISS YOU MY PRECIOUS, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentshey you! Ok so i was cleaning out my dresser last night and i found alllll of our pictures from stadium and taco bell! Of course there is one with u and your chalupa having the infamous "sarah look" It made me smile, even though it makes me miss you even more! I also found all of the disneyland pictures from 11th grade. Remember it was you, amanda word, and I in the back seat... I remember we wanted to see how many disposable cameras we'd go through on just the ride up... sure enough, i had two rolls of just us in the car! I also found two notes that you wrote me. On the top (of course they were folded all cool) One said "to sarah2 love sarah1" and on the other it says "to hardcore love tuff" ..... just wanted to remind you of our fun times and know that i think bout u everyday.
Commentshey sarah, i miss you so much. i even miss how you used to yell at everyone to be quiet so you could sleep in until 3 in the afternoon. keegs is such a good baby, i know you would be so proud. she is so smart! and she makes me laugh almost as much as you did. life is really weird without your opinions on everything and everyone. im still deciding what i want my strawberry tattoo to look like, if anyone could make me brave enough to go get one, i guess it's you...im just imagining what sort of insult about how wimpy i am you'd have to say to that. i miss you sarah, in every little way. but im sure you're really happy now, and not in any pain. love you
Name:
CommentsMY SARAH, I MISS YOU SO MUCH! KEEGAN AND I KISSED YOUR PICTURE. I'M GIVING HER LOTS OF GOOD LOVING FROM YOU! PUPS TOO! TODAY WAS A HARD DAY! I WISH YOU WERE HERE SO I COULD HUG YOU! I KNOW THAT GOD IS GIVING YOU LOTS OF GOOD HUGS AND KISSES THOUGH! I MISS YOU BABY GIRL, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah- Today was the car wash fundraiser for Nicole. Your mom was there with Keegan. I really enjoyed talking to your mom. I love Keegan so much! She fell asleep in my arms and it felt so warm to my heart. She is so precious (I can't even explain)! Every time I see her she looks more and more like you. I wish you were still here to see your baby grow up but I know you are her guardian angel and secretly telling her your motherly thoughts in her dreams! Its amazing how many strangers who hear about your story are so intrigued. They comment on how cute Keegan is and ask who's baby she is; its so hard to tell them you aren't there. :( Miss you and Love you Sarah!
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD, A TREASURE TO US ALL! YOUR MOMMY WAS SO BLESSED WHEN SHE HAD YOU! ALTHOUGH YOUR MOMMY WAS SICK, SHE TOOK SUCH GOOD CARE OF YOU! SHE ABSOLUTELY GLOWED WHEN IT CAME TO YOU! YOUR MOMMY WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU, AND SO PROUD OF YOU! YOUR MOMMY LOVED TO CUDDLE WITH YOU! SHE LOVED TO GO ON WALKS AND SHOW YOU OFF! YOUR MOMMY WOULD SLOWLY DANCE AROUND WITH YOU, IT WAS SO PRECIOUS! YOU BOTH LOVED TO TAKE A BATH TOGETHER! SHE WOULD SING YOU SILLY LITTLE SONGS AND GIVE YOU SWEET KISSES! SHE LOVED TO ROCK YOU IN THE GLIDER CHAIR, AND HER ROCKER (FROM WHEN SHE WAS A BABY). SHE ALWAYS LOOKED SO HAPPY WITH YOU IN HER ARMS! YOUR MOMMY WATCHES OVER YOU FROM HEAVEN NOW, SHE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY! SHE LOVES YOU BEYOND WORDS! YOU ARE HER SWEET LITTLE ANGEL BABY! YOUR MOMMY IS ALWAYS WITH US! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH! JUST AS MOMMY LOVES YOU, WE ALL LOVE YOU, PRECIOUS KEEGAN! YOU ARE A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsHey Sarah! I know that this is way late, but Happy Birthday! =] I visit this site often and read all the beautiful comments that people leave you. I really love reading the comments from your Mom. They never fail to make my cry and smile. I've never met her, but reading her messages, I know that she is INCREDIBLE. How lucky you are to have such an amazing mom, family, and friends. I love reading the memories that people share here as well. I cry and I laugh. To anyone who could see me as I sit at my computer and read them, you might think that I was totally nuts laughing one minute, crying the next, and sometimes both at the same time! =] Melissa's comment about the earthquake and dad in underwear made me laugh so much, haha! I love looking at the pictures on here of you and all those close to you and especially your beautiful baby girl Keegan. She is beyond perfect. I was looking at some of my old yearbooks the other night and found my eigth grade yearbook. I saw lots of pictures of you in it and some of Nicole too. You had that beautiful smile on your face in every one of them. I feel sad knowing that we've been going to the same schools since middle school, and yet I never really got to know you much at all. I wish that I had. The one thing that I really remember about you is your laugh. You had the best laugh, I loved it! I want you to know that even though we weren't really friends, that not a day goes by that you don't enter my mind.
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS, I LOVE YOU! TODAY EMILY, KEEGAN, AND I ARE GOING TO NICOLE'S FUNERAL. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD! NOT ONLY AM I IN NO WAY USED TO YOU BEING GONE, BUT NOW I HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN, KNOWING WHAT NICOLE'S FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, TODAY WE WENT TO NICOLE'S FUNERAL. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT HARD TO ATTEND. IT WAS HARD TO SEE HER FAMILY HURTING SO. HER MOTHER WAS REAL STRONG JUST LIKE I WAS, BUT I'M SURE IT WILL HIT HARD IN THE DAYS TO COME. I TOLD HER HOW NICOLE HAD COME TO VISIT KEEGAN AND I, WITH TIFFANI. I TOLD HER THAT NICOLE HAD TALKED ABOUT HEAVEN, AND GOD, AND YOU FOR ABOUT FORTY-FIVE, AND THAT SHE GLOWED WHEN SHE TALKED. I ALSO TOLD HER THAT NICOLE HAD LEFT YOU A MESSAGE ON THIS WEBPAGE SAYING THAT SHE LOVED YOU, AND THAT SHE WOULD SEE YOU SOON. NICOLE'S MOM ASKED IF SHE COULD HOLD KEEGAN, AND WE VISITED FOR AWHILE. IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO THINK OF THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER. WE MISS YOU BOTH THOUGH! EVERYONE WAS HAPPY TO SEE YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN! THEY ALL TOOK TURNS HOLDING HER. I'LL BE BY TO SEE YOU SOON. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey Sarah just wanted to take a minute to say hello and let you know that I am ALWAYS thinking about you and MISSING you. Your mom called me the other night it was really great to hear from her she is the best ever! She was just saying how we need to get the girls together its really nice to see them when I do, KEEGAN- You are the sweetest little thing Lilly and I love you so much and are always going to be a part of your life forever and ever. Love you Sarah miss you, love you too! Keegs
CommentsMY SARAH, AUNT SUSAN AND I WENT BY YOUR GRAVE. I PUT KISSES IN MY HAND AND RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS. I MISS YOU, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME, BUT I STILL MISS YOU, I MISS TOUCHING YOU, AND HEARING YOU, AND HOLDING YOU! GIVE GOD A BIG HUG FOR ME, AND I KNOW HE'S HUGGING YOU! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsJust wanted to say. My thought and prayers are still with the Dennis Family. I see little Keegan at church on sunday and every time I see her I know she is going to be Just like her Mom. My prayers are with you forever. Sarah was a good friend to everybody. and we will see her again. God Bless Every one one.
CommentsTo Keegan, Your family misses your Mother with much pain. We know Sarah is with our Lord in Heaven. Keegan, you are soo Blessed, you are so beautiful. I met you at your Great Great Grandfathers Funeral, only weeks old. Your Mommy held you with total JOY. Then I saw you again, only a few moments of time, later. You had advanced so much in that short time, I could feel you were hurting also. I Loved your Mommy too! I miss her more each day... Sarah, I feel you are with us all, and forever. Love, Cousin Mike XO
CommentsMY SARAH, I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! KEEGAN AND I WENT TO CHURCH THIS MORNING. WE MET AUNT SUSAN, AUNT KATHY, AND UNCLE BRIAN THERE. KEEGAN DANCED TO THE MUSIC, AS SHE ALWAYS DOES! AFTER CHURCH AUNT SUSAN, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO BUY SOMETHING FOR YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT. I'M HOPING TO GET BUSY TURNING THE GROUND THIS WEEK SO THAT I CAN PLANT AND DO ALL OF MY FINISHING TOUCHES. WHEN PEOPLE THINK THAT I AM KEEGAN'S MOMMY I AM ALWAYS QUICK TO SHARE YOUR STORY, AND HOW YOU'RE IN HEAVEN. I'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. WE MISS YOU PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsDEAR JESUS, THANK YOU FOR WRAPPING YOUR ARMS AROUND MY BROKEN HEART! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY HOPE, AND LIGHT! PLEASE GIVE OUR SARAH KISSES AND HUGS FROM ME TOO, AND GENTLY RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH HER HAIR! LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I CAN'T GET YOU OFF OF MY MIND! I MISS YOU SO MUCH! MY HEART ACHES SO, TO HOLD YOU! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, IT'S SO PAINFUL! I CAN'T STOP CRYING, I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH! I KNOW YOU'RE WITH ME, BUT I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU SO BAD! I'M GLAD YOU'RE IN A HAPPY PLACE, AND FEEL NO PAIN, AND NO HEARTACHE, BUT IT'S SO HARD ON THOSE WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND! IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT LOSING A CHILD, IT'S THE MOST HORRIBLE PAIN. IT'S JUST SO OUT OF ORDER! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW GRAND HEAVEN IS, AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING! I TRY SO HARD TO FOCUS ON THAT! I TRY TO STAY VERY HAPPY AND BUSY DURING THE DAY, BUT NIGHTS ARE ESPECIALLY HARD ON ME BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME TO THINK, AND WE SPENT A LOT OF SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER IN THE EVENINGS. TOMORROW WILL BE A NEW DAY, HOPEFULLY A BETTER ONE. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI LOVE YOU!!! I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU TODAY WHEN I WAS WALKING BY THOSE HOLIDAY COOKIES AT MY WORK. BECAUSE EVERY HOLIDAY YOU WOULD MAKE COOKIES AND WOULD ALWAYS ASK ME TO HELP. AND WE HAD A BLAST MAKING THEM FOR V-DAY! :)
CommentsGood Morning Sarah love you miss you
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS. I LOVE YOU! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS ALREADY DOWN FOR HER MORNING NAP. PUPCAKE AND I HAVE BEEN IN YOUR ROOM CLEANING. PUPCAKE KEEPS STEALING ANYTHING THAT SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH. WHEN I STRIPPED YOUR BED TO CHANGE THE SHEETS PUPCAKE JUMPED UP THERE AND SNIFFED ALL AROUND, AND THAN SHE ROLLED AROUND WHERE YOU USED TO LAY YOUR HEAD AND CHEST. I GOT A NICE AMOUNT DONE. I DO A LITTLE AT A TIME. I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsLITTLE KEEGS, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOUR MOMMY AND WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL WE HAD ANNUAL PASSES TO KNOTT'S BERRY FARM. YOUR MOMMY ESPECIALLY LOVED THE PETTING FARM. SHE WAS SO CUTE WITH THE ANIMALS! SHE LOVED RIDING THE PONIES. AS QUICK AS SHE WOULD GET OFF OF ONE, SHE WOULD BE BACK IN LINE TO RIDE THEM AGAIN. SHE HAD A WAY OF WIGGLING HER WAY UP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, (I WOULD TELL HER TO WAIT HER TURN) BUT EVERYONE ALWAYS LET HER HAVE CUTS BECAUSE SHE WAS SO CUTE. SO MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES AT KNOTT'S KNEW US BECAUSE WE WENT ALMOST EVERYDAY. THEY WOULD LET YOUR MOMMY AND AUNT JENNY RIDE THE RIDES A BUNCH OF TIMES IN A ROW WITHOUT GETTING OFF. AUNT EMILY WAS TO SMALL TO RIDE SOME OF THE RIDES. ONE OF YOUR MOMMY'S FAVORITE RIDES WAS THE HUFF N' PUFF RIDE. SHE WAS ALWAYS FIRST IN LINE ON THAT RIDE. SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE SLOWING HER DOWN. AUNT JENNY WOULD ALWAYS RIDE BEHIND AUNT EMILY SO SHE COULD PUSH HER ALONG. THAT'S A LOT OF HUFFING N' PUFFING. IT WAS SO FUNNY BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOUR MOMMY WOULD BE ON A SECOND ROUND AND CATCH UP TO YOUR AUNT'S FIRST ROUND. YOUR MOMMY WAS SO FUNNY IN THE BALLROOM. SHE WOULD THROW HERSELF IN THERE AND LAUGH. AUNT JENNY WAS ALWAYS HELPING YOUR AUNT EMILY WHO WAS GETTING SWALLOWED UP BY THE BALLS. IT WAS SO FUN WATCHING THEM! YOUR MOMMY WAS SO ACTIVE, JUST LIKE YOU! ALWAYS GOING, ENJOYING WHAT SHE WAS DOING! SHE ALWAYS MADE US ALL LAUGH FROM SUCH A YOUNG AGE, AND ALL THROUGHOUT HER LIFE! SHE LOVED GOING TO THIS ONE PARK IN CERRITOS. IT HAD A BRIDGE THAT LED TO AN ISLAND. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS CALLED SARAH'S ISLAND. SHE LOVED THAT PARK SO MUCH, AND RULED THE ISLAND! SHE WAS SO CUTE HOW EXCITED SHE GOT OVER EVERY DETAIL OF THE ISLAND. AT TIMES IT WAS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH HER, BUT SOMEHOW I ALWAYS MANAGED. I HAVE SO MANY OLD VIDEOS OF THEM ALL PLAYING AND HAVING FUN. WE'LL WATCH THEM TOGETHER SOMEDAY! I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsMY SARAH, I WAS BY EARLIER TO WATER YOU FLOWERS, AND PLANTS. OF COURSE I PUT KISSES IN MY HAND AND RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS. LITTLE KEEGAN HAD A BUSY DAY PLAYING ON HER BIG STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BLANKET (THAT I MADE HER) WITH A BUNCH OF TOYS. SHE IS SO ACTIVE! I JUST LOVE THAT LITTLE BABY SOOOO MUCH! WE MISS YOU THOUGH! I SHOWED HER DIFFERENT PICTURES OF YOU AND SHE STUDIED THEM, AND THAN PULLED THEM CLOSE TO HER FACE TO SLOBBER ON, AND OR KISS! I PLAYED THE LITTLE VOICE BOX THAT YOU RECORDED, TELLING HER THAT YOU LOVE HER. SHE GOT SO EXCITED! PUPS GOT EXCITED TOO! IT WAS KIND OF SAD THOUGH BECAUSE PUPS LOOKED FOR YOU. WELL I'M GOING TO GO PLAY WITH LITTLE KEEGS NOW. I'LL GIVE HER LOTS OF KISSES FROM YOU, AND TELL HER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER! SHE LOVES TO PLAY PEEK-A-BOO. SHE COVERS HER FACE WITH A BLANKET, OR BURP CLOTH AND PULLS IT DOWN AND I SHOUT PEEK-A-BOO. SHE LAUGHS SO HARD! PUPS TRIES TO GET IN ON IT BY STEALING THE BLANKET. SHE'S SO QUICK TOO, THAN IT'S A GAME OF CHASE. THEY KEEP ME BUSY, BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE IT! I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT FOR A LONG WALK. SHE REALLY ENJOYED IT! WE STOPPED BY AUNT NANCI'S HOUSE AND VISITED FOR AWHILE. YOUR COUSINS HAD FUN HOLDING KEEGAN AND PLAYING WITH HER. SHE WAS SO SLEEPY ON THE WAY HOME THAT SHE WENT RIGHT TO SLEEP. PUPS IS CHASING A FLY AND BARKING AT IT. I WENT TO GET A FLY SWATTER BUT I THINK I WAS TO LATE, I THINK THAT PUPS ATE IT. SHE'S NOT GETTING ANY KISSES FROM ME UNTIL THAT LITTLE FACE IS WASHED. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO TO SLEEP, BUT NOT WITHOUT ME TELLING YOU THAT I LOVE YOU! LITTLE KEEGS JUST WOKE UP FOR HER MIDNIGHT SNACK. I PROPPED THE BOTTLE AND SHE'S BACK OFF TO DREAMLAND. I HOPE WE DREAM SWEET DREAMS OF YOU! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN WOKE UP EARLY, YAKKING' AWAY. SHE KEPT SAYING HI, HI. PUPS AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE, KEEGAN GO BACK TO SLEEP. PUPS TUCKED HER HEAD UNDER THE COVERS, I TRIED THE SAME, BUT LITTLE KEEGS JUST KEPT ON YAKKING'. SHE WOKE UP FIVE TIMES LAST NIGHT BUT WENT BACK TO SLEEP QUICKLY. I THINK WE'LL TAKE A NAP TOGETHER TODAY. KEEGAN IS CHEWING ON HER TOYS (IN BETWEEN HICK UPS) AS SHE WATCHES HER BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE EATING BREAKFAST (NO NOT FRENCH TOAST WITH POWDERED SUGAR), THEY'RE EATING DOG FOOD. IN BETWEEN BITES THEY GO BY AND GIVE KEEGAN KISSES. IT'S CUTE! WELL PRECIOUS, I'LL BE BY IN A BIT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey woman...I haven't been on here in awhile. We don't have internet yet so I have been sneaking on while i am at work! All of us girls miss you...We went out to eat a couple weeks ago and were talking about you. Melissa started to cry and I felt so bad. We are keeping her busy for ya and she's doing better. It hard to go out to eat and there not be all of us girls there. We will always be the "SEXY SIX and TINY TWOS" except we will need to change that when Jess has her little one. Love you...Makaila and I will visit you today. Oh yeah, I love how your grave isn't going down. It's a total reminder of how you are feisty and stubborn...in a great way! Anyways, Keegan looks just like you...it drives me crazy...our little girls look like twins of us. Miss you and our little inside jokes. I miss you so much...I love you...
CommentsDEAR LORD, YOU SEE THE REAL ME, HIDING IN MY SKIN, BROKEN FROM WITHIN, UNVEIL ME, COMPLETELY, THERE'S NO NEED TO MASK, MY FRAILTY, CAUSE YOU SEE THE REAL ME. I JUST WANT TO BE ME, AND YOU LOVE ME, JUST AS I AM, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, IS WHAT YOU SEE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, CAUSE YOU SEE, THE REAL ME. LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHEN YOUR MOMMY DECIDED TO GET PUPCAKE. SHE CALLED ME AND SAID "YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAD AT ME". I SAID "WHY AM I GOING TO BE MAD AT YOU SARAH"? SHE SAID "CAUSE I BOUGHT A LITTLE DOG, AND IF YOU TELL ME NO THAN I'LL HAVE TO MOVE OUT". KNOWING THAT SHE COULDN'T MOVE OUT (FINANCIALLY), AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO ANYWAY, I SAID BRING IT HOME, I'LL TALK WITH YOUR DAD. WHEN SHE BROUGHT PUPCAKE HOME WE ALL THOUGHT SHE WAS SO CUTE, AND SO TINY, AND SUGAR WASN'T USED TO OTHER DOGS SO WE WERE CONCERNED THAT SUGAR MIGHT HURT HER. WE DECIDED THAT YOUR MOMMY WOULD GO TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE WHILE I TALKED YOUR GRANDPA INTO IT. AS WE WALKED OUT THE DOOR YOUR GRANDPA WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WERE A LOT OF US OUTSIDE SO WE PLAYED PASS THE PUP TO TRY TO HIDE HER UNTIL I COULD TALK TO HIM. IT WAS SO FUNNY WATCHING THAT LITTLE PUP PASSED AROUND, ACTING LIKE NOTHING WAS GOING ON. HE FINALLY CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF IT, AND SAID "WHAT'S THAT"? WE ALL SAID "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"? HE FINALLY SAW HER, AND I SAID "WE'LL TALK". YOUR MOMMY LEFT IN A HURRY! I FINALLY CONVINCED HIM THAT WE WOULD SLOWLY INTRODUCE THE DOGS TO EACH OTHER. IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME (BECAUSE SUGAR IS SO MUCH BIGGER, AND NOT USED TO OTHER DOGS), BUT THEY EVENTUALLY BECAME THE BEST OF FRIENDS. THEY LOVE TO PLAY CHASE, TAG, HIDE N' SEEK, TUG-A-WAR, AND (SOMETIMES) THEY EVEN SNUGGLE UP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THEY BOTH LOVE YOU PRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsMY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS SARAH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! TODAY, JENNY, EMILY, KEEGAN, MELISSA, MELISSA'S MOM, AND I WENT TO LUNCH. WE ATE AT RED ROBIN, SO WE ALSO SAW UNCLE RICHARD, WORKING. WE HAD A NICE VISIT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT YOU TOO. JENNY ASKED MELISSA TO BE ONE OF HER BRIDESMAID'S AT HER WEDDING SINCE YOU'RE UNABLE TO DO IT, AND ALSO BECAUSE MELISSA WOULD HAVE BEEN IN YOUR WEDDING. MELISSA WAS DELIGHTED! EMILY IS GOING TO BE HER MAID OF HONOR. (WHEN JENNY HAD ASKED EMILY, SHE SMILED AND CRIED). IT'S HARD THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THAT WITHOUT YOU! WE ALL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY! KEEGAN AND I SAW A LOT OF OUR MALL FRIENDS, AND THEY ALWAYS ASK HOW WE'RE DOING, AND I TELL THEM IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BE AT THE MALL, BUT I ENJOYED SEEING THEM! THEY'RE ALL SO NICE, AND THOUGHTFUL, AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE IT WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT YOU! THEY LOVE YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN, AND TELL ME HOW SHE REMINDS THEM OF YOU, IN LOOKS, AND PERSONALITY! I LOVE HEARING THAT! I SAW NICOLE'S BROTHER (WORKING), AND I WENT OVER TO HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT I'M HERE FOR HIM, AND HIS FAMILY. I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT I KNOW HIS PAIN, AND I CARE. I KNOW YOU AND NICOLE ARE HAVING THE BEST TIME IN HEAVEN, AND SOMEDAY WHEN WE'RE ALL TOGETHER IN HEAVEN, YOU'LL TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT. YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN WENT TO SLEEP EARLY TONIGHT, BUT PUPS IS STILL FULL OF IT. BEFORE I ROCKED KEEGAN TO SLEEP, WE LOOKED AT PICTURES OF YOU, AS I SAID MAMA, AND PLAYED THE VOICE BOX. I'LL MAKE SURE SHE ALWAYS KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, AND IN THE HAPPIEST WAY! I WANT HER TO GLOW WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT YOU, THE WAY YOU GLOWED WITH HER! I TRY REALLY HARD NOT TO CRY IN FRONT OF HER, AND SHE IS SUCH A HAPPY BABY! I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah, I held your beautiful baby girl Keegan the other day as she slept and I thought of you. As your neighbor, I would see you leave your home on your way to school. My girls always wanted to stop by and see you at the sunglass stand at the mall. I never really knew you that well but I have come to know your family and count myself blessed for the association. The same loving family that cared for you will create a wonderful life for Keegan in all respects. Your memory will be preserved, cherished and passed on. You will never be forgotten.
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! KEEGAN WOKE UP AT 6:30 FULL OF ENERGY, YAKKING' AWAY. SHE'S SITTING BESIDE ME, PLAYING WITH HER TOYS AND WATCHING HER BABY EINSTEIN. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE RUNNING AROUND, PLAYING. I DREAMED ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS! I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! I'M GOING TO ATTACK MY NEVER ENDING LIST OF THINGS TO DO TODAY. I'LL ALSO BE BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. PUPS JUST DECIDED TO GO BACK TO BED, SHE'S LAYING ON HER QUEEN BED UNDER THE DESK. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsKeegan- There wasn't a day when your mom couldn't make any one smile. She was always there to cheer people up when they weren't having a good day, or there to listen when they needed advice. She'd tell you what she thought and what she thought you should do about your situation. She was always there, and I miss having her help me with my obstacles. But most importantly, I miss her voice (no one had a voice like hers!) and I miss her laugh (no one had a laugh like hers either!) Youre Mommy is the best person ever and I know she's very proud of you! <3
Commentshi sarah! Gosh i had to come on here today and write you something, i had such a strange dream about you last night,you looked like an angel, you were just glowing! i went and visited you today and put some pretty pink roses and a pink butterfly on your burial site. I was thinking the other day about how in middle school when it was cool to go to photo galleria every single weekend and get new picstures done, mainly you and melissa but it was funny our little group shots are so cute, i saw it the other day in my scrapbook! i just wanted to say hi and know that im thinking about you, i know your in an awesome place up there with nicole now too!!!
CommentsToday I was Throwing out stuff that I dont use anymore and I came across A bottle of Victoria Secret Pure Seduction body spray =] And its the same one that I would take to work every day and The first thing you would do it take it out if my purse and spray yourself lol its not that full anymore (thanks to you lol) but I didnt want to throw it away . I sprayed some on today it smells just like strawberrys no wonder why you liked it so much. Oh and I went through my Big ol pink purse that you liked I found your lip gloss that you "lost" hahaha sorry u were bummed cuz it was ur fav . Its still strange you not being here anymore It was just last year that I talked to you and you were fine.......well They say angels never stay in one place for to long.
CommentsMY SARAH, THERE'S A WEIRD STORM OUTSIDE BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN BY TO VISIT YET, SO I'M GOING TO BRAVE THE STORM. I'VE HAD A MIGRAINE TODAY AND GRACE NEXT DOOR MESSAGED ME, SO I FEEL A LOT BETTER. AUNT SUSAN IS ROCKING KEEGAN SO I CAN GET SOME STUFF DONE. EMILY AND AUNT SUSAN WORKED ON THE LAUNDRY ROOM AND IT'S LOOKING GOOD. TOMORROW I'M GOING TO GO ORDER YOUR MARKER, I TALKED TO THEM TODAY. I'LL BE BACK TO TALK LATER, GOT TO GET OVER TO YOU NOW. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI love you and I think about you everyday. Some days are hard for me Sarah. When I think about the joy you brought to my life and the way you made me laugh it brings a tear to my eye. I miss you so much and I wish everyday that you could see your beautiful baby girl. She looks so much like you and she is so very beautiful. She brings joy to every face she sees. I love you and as I type this, hoping that you hear me, I wish that you are in Heaven enjoying the everlasting life that God has given you. I love you and miss you with all my heart. My tears pour for you dear Sarah. God had a beautiful plan for you.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I THOUGHT OF YOU SO MUCH TODAY! I WENT SHOPPING AT WINCO TODAY, AND EVERY TURN I MADE, I THOUGHT OF YOU! I SAW ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES; GOLDFISH CRACKERS, CHEEZ-IT'S, CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH CEREAL, SUNNY DELIGHT, CHOCOLATE MILK, STRAWBERRY MILK, PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, HOT POCKETS, CHICKEN TEQUITOS, BANANA'S, CANTALOUPE, ROTISSERIE CHICKEN, STOVE TOP STUFFING (CHICKEN FLAVOR), PEANUT M&M'S, AND SKITTLES, BUT THE THING THAT GOT ME THE MOST WAS THE DELI ROAST BEEF. I STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE DELI FOR A MOMENT, ABOUT TO ORDER SOME, AND THAN I REMEMBERED THAT I DIDN'T NEED ANY. YOU LOVED TOASTED ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES. I DID BUY SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES, IN HONOR OF YOU, BUT SOME OF THEM I JUST COULDN'T. EVERY LITTLE THING MAKES ME THINK OF YOU! PUPCAKE WAS ACTING CRAZY AND I CALLED HER WILLIS. I REMEMBER WHEN YOU AND I CALLED HER WILLIS SO MUCH THAT WE THOUGHT THAT SHE PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT HER NAME WAS WILLIS. OH, IT WAS SO CUTE, A FEW NIGHTS AGO WE HAD STEAK AND THE DOGS EACH GOT A STEAK BONE. SUGAR HAD HERS OUTSIDE AND SHE BURIED IT, BUT PUPCAKE CARRIED HERS AROUND FOR HOURS AND WOULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. SHE WAS SO CUTE! I KEPT THINKING, HER MOUTH MUST BE GETTING TIRED, AND THE BEST PART WAS SHE NEVER BARKED BECAUSE SHE WASN'T WILLING TO DROP THE BONE. IF ANYONE CAME IN THE HOUSE SHE WOULD RUN UP TO KEEGAN'S ROOM AND HIDE WITH IT. IT REMINDED ME OF YOU, AND YOUR FISHER PRICE CAMERA. WELL IT'S LATE (AGAIN) AND I NEED TO GO TO BED. I WANT TO DREAM SWEET DREAMS OF YOU! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, AS THE SUN ROSE THIS MORNING, I THOUGHT OF YOU! I WONDERED IF THE SUN RISES AND SETS IN HEAVEN, AND HOW GLORIOUS IT MUST BE! LITTLE KEEGS WOKE UP WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE ON HER FACE THIS MORNING! (SHE MUST HAVE DREAMED SWEET DREAMS OF YOU BECAUSE SHE WAS GLOWING)! SHE ALWAYS WAKES UP SO HAPPY! SHE'S SITTING IN HER WALKER, PLAYING, WATCHING BABY EINSTEIN, WITH THE HICK UPS! PUPS IS ASLEEP ON HER QUEEN BED, AND HERE I SIT MISSING YOU SO! YOU WERE ALWAYS SO ADORABLE IN THE MORNING, YOU WERE A GOOD MORNING PERSON, JUST LIKE KEEGAN IS! KEEGAN IS SO CUTE, HER NEW THING IS PUTTING HER HAND, OR HANDS BEHIND HER NECK, LIKE SHE'S A MOVIE STAR POSING FOR A PICTURE. IT'S ADORABLE! WELL MY SWEET ANGEL, I'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU SOON! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN AND I TOOK A HOUR AND A HALF NAP TOGETHER. WHEN WE WOKE UP I GAVE HER A SINK BATH. SHE SPLASHED A LOT AND THAN SHE STOOD UP, I SAT HER DOWN AND SAID HEY, WE'RE NOT DONE. SHE SMELLS REALLY PRETTY. I BOUGHT HER THIS NEW BABY WASH AND LOTION THAT SMELLS LIKE SWEET PEAS. NOW SHE'S ON HER BLANKET, ROLLING ALL AROUND AND ATTEMPTING TO CRAWL. SHE GETS AROUND SO FAST THAT I CAN HARDLY KEEP UP. I'M KEEPING MY EYE OUT FOR A PLAY YARD FOR HER. SHE IS ALSO TESTING HER VOICE AND YACKIN' A LOT. SHE KEEPS YELLING MAMA, MAMA. PUPCAKE KEEPS TRYING TO STEAL KEEGAN'S TOYS, BUT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY WHEN KEEGAN WONDERED SO FAR OFF THE BLANKET THAT SHE MADE IT OVER TO PUPCAKE'S LITTLE BALL, THE LOOK ON PUPCAKE'S FACE WAS FUNNY, LIKE ONLY I'M ALLOWED TO STEAL TOYS. I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN FELL ASLEEP IN MY ARMS IN THE RECLINER R0CKING CHAIR. SHE REMINDED ME SO MUCH OF YOU AS SHE SLEPT. I LOVED WATCHING HER SLEEP, AND EVEN THOUGH MY HEART IS SO BROKEN, I CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE WHEN I LOOK INTO HER PRECIOUS LITTLE FACE. SHE IS VERY MUCH HER OWN PERSON, AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER, AND YET, SHE IS A PIECE OF YOU, AND I AM ALSO SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT TOO! SHE LOOKED SO SWEET AS SHE SMILED IN HER SLEEP (I'M SURE SHE WAS DREAMING ABOUT HER MOMMY), SHE WAS SO PEACEFUL, AND SLEPT FOR A LONG TIME. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE A DOLL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE USED TO SAY ABOUT YOU. HOW FUNNY THAT THAT IS THE WAY THAT PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DESCRIBE HER, JUST AS THEY DID YOU. YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHTS ALWAYS! I CARRY YOU WITH ME! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PRECIOUS! I GOT THE PICTURES PRINTED TO BRING WITH ME TOMORROW WHEN I GO TO ORDER YOUR MARKER. I TOOK TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO RUSH, I WANTED EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT, THE STONE, THE WORDS, THE PICTURES, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WELL THOUGHT OUT. THIS IS FOREVER, SO IT HAS TO BE PERFECT! I LOVE YOU, AND MISS YOU! WHEN I VISITED YOUR GRAVE TODAY, I WATERED YOUR FLOWERS AT YOUR GRAVE, AND YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT, THAN I RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS WITH A KISS ON THEM. I'VE BEEN HURTING REALLY BAD LATELY, MY HEART IS SO BROKEN AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO HIDE MY HEARTACHE. I KNOW THAT IT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE, SO THAT'S WHY I TRY TO HIDE IT. I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU, AND HEAR PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOU. TIME HURTS! GOSH HOW I WISH I COULD HAVE A PEEK INTO HEAVEN TO SEE YOU, AND MAYBE TOUCH YOU. I'LL JUST HAVE TO COUNT ON GOD TO DO THAT FOR ME! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN TICKLES MY HEART! SHE IS SO SMART, AND ACTIVE. TODAY I WATCHED HER SPOT THINGS FROM A FAR, AND THAN MAKE HER MOVE TO GET TO THEM. MY KEYS WERE ON THE FLOOR AND THEY CAUGHT HER EYE AND SHE MOVED SO FAST TO GET THEM. SHE REALLY REMINDS ME OF YOU! SHE BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY! JENNY, JENE, AND LILLY CAME OVER, AND WE ALL WENT INTO THE NURSERY AND PLAYED. THE BABIES WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER! IT'S SO CUTE, KEEGAN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE ALREADY HAS SO MANY FRIENDS. A LOT OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL AND COME TO VISIT HER AND I. THEY HOLD HER AND LOVE HER, AND I LOVE HAVING THEM OVER! NO BABY HAS EVER BEEN MORE LOVED! EVEN JENNY'S FRIENDS HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL. (JENNY'S FRIEND) BIANCA, AND KEEGAN AND I ARE GOING TO LUNCH TOMORROW. BETH COMES OVER A LOT TOO! SHE REALLY MISSES YOU! YOU WERE ANOTHER BIG SIS TO HER, THE OPINIONATED SIS, BUT SHE RESPECTED YOU. AUNT SUSAN HAS BEEN WONDERFUL! SHE CHECKS ON ME A LOT, AND HELPS OUT A LOT TOO. I KNOW SHE CAN SEE HOW LONELY I AM WITHOUT YOU. SHE'S GOING THROUGH HER OWN THINGS AND STILL MAKES TIME FOR ME. I REALLY DO WANT TO DO WHAT I SAID I WAS GOING TO DO, GO TO HOSPITALS AND FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING, AND COMFORT THEM. A HUG AND LOVING WORDS GO A LONG WAY. THAT'S WHAT I DID WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL, AND NOT ONLY DID IT COMFORT OTHER PEOPLE, BUT IT HELPED ME TOO. SOMETIMES I GET CONCERNED THAT PEOPLE HAVE MADE THIS WEBPAGE ABOUT READING MY MESSAGES TO YOU, AND ALTHOUGH I DON'T MIND THEM READING THEM, AND I LOVE HEARING FROM THEM, AND EXCHANGING E-MAIL ADDRESSES, WHAT I REALLY WANT IS FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW THEIR LIFE IS CHANGED BECAUSE OF YOUR STORY, AND I REALLY WOULD LOVE FOR PEOPLE TO WRITE MEMORIES OF YOU FOR KEEGAN. THAT'S WHAT THIS WEBPAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT. THE REASON I WRITE SO MUCH IS BECAUSE IT IS A COMFORT TO ME, TO BE ABLE UNLOAD. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH SOME GREAT STORIES, PLEASE, PLEASE, SHARE THEM WITH KEEGAN! SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THEY READ, THEY ARE UNABLE TO WRITE, THAN WRITE FIRST, PLEASE! WELL MY SWEET ANGEL, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO GET SOME REST BEFORE YOUR LITTLE KEEGS WAKES UP. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU IN MY DREAMS TONIGHT! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsYou are a beautiful angel!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, GOOD MORNING SWEETHEART! LITTLE KEEGS IS STILL ASLEEP, AND PUPCAKE IS RUNNING AROUND CHASING HER BALL. I HAVE A LOT TO DO TODAY, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY I LOVE YOU! I'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE LATER TOO. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsKeegan me and your aunt Jenny took Lilly over to your house to play with you, you girls are just getting so big so fast. I saw a picture of your Mommy in her prom dress and I remember that day I was over there while she was getting ready she looked so beautiful and of course wearing a hot pink dress with hot pink ribbons in her hair. We followed her to meet up with her friends to take pictures and I remember thinking how many friend she had and thats cause your Mommy was such a fun person to be around. love you Keegs
CommentsMY SARAH, I WENT TO ORDER YOUR MARKER, AND I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD BE QUITE PLEASED WITH IT! THE ONE PICTURE THAT I CHOSE REPRESENTS SO MANY THINGS FROM THE BIBLE, THE ROCK, THE WATER, THE SUN (ON YOUR FACE), THE WIND (THAT BLEW THROUGH YOUR HAIR), IT JUST SPOKE TO ME, AND YOU ABSOLUTELY GLOW IN THE PICTURE. IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL! THEY WERE ALL SO NICE AND HELPFUL THERE! ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AND BOUGHT SOME FLOWERS AND A CARD AND BROUGHT THEM TO NICOLE'S GRAVE. SHE DIDN'T HAVE A VASE YET BUT TOM BLOOM TOOK CARE OF THAT RIGHT AWAY. HE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS MAN. HE LOVES YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN! I'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU IN THE EVENING, I LOVE TO SIT THERE AROUND 7:00 P.M. BECAUSE IT'S SO PEACEFUL! EMILY TOOK KEEGAN TO SHOW HER OFF TO BRYAN'S PARENTS, AND SOME FRIENDS. KEEGAN WAS SO PEACEFUL AS EMILY DROVE OFF, SHE WAS SOUND ASLEEP. PUPS IS HANGING OUT WITH ME, LAYING RIGHT BESIDE ME. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND THAN SOME! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! YOU ARE SUCH A PIECE OF ME, AND KEEGAN A PIECE OF YOU! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey Sarah! Heather and I felt the need to come visit you tonight and I'm very glad we did because we ran into your mom. I always love seeing her. She is so sweet and has been very strong throughout everything. I'm excited to see what your mom has come up with for your marker! I'm sure it will be just gorgeous. I hope to stop by again soon (Heather also) and we can't wait to visit you're sweet, precious baby. We'll see you soon! <3 You
CommentsMY SARAH, TODAY WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY. I GOT A LOT DONE AND IT FELT GOOD! WHEN I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE WHITNEY AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE THERE. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THEM! SHE BROUGHT YOU SOME BEAUTIFUL PINK ROSES WITH BIG BUNCHES OF BABY'S BREATH. I BROUGHT YOU A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, PINK, HOT PINK, AND WHITE FROM KEEGAN AND I. YOUR GRAVE WAS VERY DECKED OUT! AS I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE, HEATHER AND ASHLEY CAME TO VISIT. I ENJOYED VISITING WITH THEM. YOUR LITTLE KEEGS WENT TO BED EARLY. MELISSA CAME OVER TO VISIT, AND EMILY, MELISSA AND I WENT INTO YOUR ROOM AND HUNG OUT AND LOOKED AT A BUNCH OF OLD PICTURES. IT WAS FUN, BUT AT TIMES I WANTED TO CRY BECAUSE I MISS YOU SO. I LOVE THAT MELISSA COMES OVER AND HANGS OUT WITH US. WE'RE ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU! PUPS KEPT TRYING TO STEAL PICTURES SO MELISSA WOULD PRETEND THAT SHE WAS THROWING A BALL AND PUPS WOULD RUN OUT INTO THE HALLWAY LOOKING FOR IT. PUPCAKE IS SETTLING DOWN NOW, RIGHT BESIDE MY FEET. I MISS YOU ANGEL, MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMiss sarah, i called your mom a few days ago to see how she was doing, I hadnt seen her in a while and wanted to make sure she was ok. It was really sweet because after i spoke to her she showed up at the mall with your lil keegan. My gosh sarah!!!! she is so beautiful, she's a sparkle of you. She is by far the happiest little person i have EVER seen. i bet id be just as happy if people told me how cute i was, as much as she does. im hoping that i will be able to make it to visit you this sunday with your mom. say hello to my grandpa for me ( he's the lil old man wearing a cap prob. randomly screaming "goaaaal") help watch and protect us
Commentshey Sarah I haven't been by to say hi to you lately, i just miss you so much!! Mel was over tonight and we were talking about when you, me, and mel took a bath in our swimsuits and you decided to teach me how to shave my legs, but it wasn't until after we did one leg that we thought to ask mom. So i ran downstairs and asked mom "please can they teach me to shave my legs". She said "no that is something that your mother should teach you"...so i let her know we already did one leg so she said "fine whatever". I was so excited and you made sure to let me know, "be careful with your knee and shin it is very easy to cut them." Oh remember our shabaths.....you plug the bathtub and turn the shower head on....so it fills up while it feels like its rain on top of you. :) I LOVE you so much!!!! and miss you more than anything
CommentsI didn't know Sarah at all. I just ran across her through a friend on my space. But I thought I'd tell you anyway, that from the pictures I've seen of your daughter, she's beautiful. And you are so lucky. Everyone who writes to you shows so much love. You can tell just by what they write that you were an AMAZING person. I wish nothing but the best for your family.

CommentsSarah I just wanted to comment to you on the picture your mom is putting on your marker it is so perfect and I know that you would love it cause you look so pretty. Its very rare that you ever take a bad picture but I just know that you would love this one. Who knows better than your Mommy. Sarah have a Wonderful day and when its time for all of us to "GO HOME" we will all be expecting you to show us around up there. Love You!
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS. LITTLE KEEGS JUST WENT DOWN FOR A MORNING NAP, SO I THOUGHT I'D TAKE A MOMENT FOR YOU. I DREAMED A LOT OF DREAMS OF YOU LAST NIGHT. IT WAS NICE! I PUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF YOU NEAR MY BED, SO I WOKE UP TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE! THAT MADE MY DAY! I'M GETTING A LOT OF THINGS DONE ON MY NEVER ENDING LIST SO I THINK I'LL KEEP ON THAT. WHEN KEEGAN WAKES UP WE'RE GOING TO GO VISIT MELISSA AT WORK, AND THAN WE'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. I HOPE ALL OF THOSE FLOWERS LOOK AS GOOD AS THEY DID YESTERDAY, THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL! IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE A FLOWER SHOP. I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS, AND I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I CARRY YOU WITH ME, I SPEAK OF YOU OFTEN, YOU ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF ME, AND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE WITH ME, I DO MISS TOUCHING, SEEING, AND HEARING YOU! THAT'S WHERE THE HEARTACHE COMES IN. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I REMEMBER WHEN WE MOVED TO TEMECULA. YOUR MOMMY HAD JUST FINISHED THE FOURTH GRADE. I HAD BOUGHT A TRAMPOLINE TO SURPRISE MY GIRLS, AND IT WAS IN THE BACKYARD WAITING FOR THEM WHEN WE MOVED. THEY WERE SO EXCITED. YOUR MOMMY WASTED NO TIME GETTING OUT AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS. SHE BROUGHT THEM ALL OVER TO JUMP ON OUR TRAMPOLINE. IN OUR OLD COMMUNITY THEY WERE ON A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL YEAR, BUT WHEN WE MOVED TO TEMECULA THEY HAD YEAR ROUND SCHOOL. THEY DID THIS THING CALLED TRACKS, AND THERE WERE FOUR DIFFERENT TRACKS, YOU WOULD GO TO SCHOOL FOUR MONTHS AND THAN HAVE SOME TIME OFF AND THAN BACK ON. IT WAS HARD TO HAVE FRIENDS ON OTHER TRACKS. WELL SINCE YOUR MOMMY HAD JUST FINISHED SCHOOL IN OUR OLD COMMUNITY I WAS GOING TO WAIT AWHILE BEFORE I REGISTERED THE GIRLS. YOUR MOMMY HAD OTHER PLANS, BECAUSE SHE LOVED SCHOOL SO MUCH SHE WANTED TO GET RIGHT IN THERE. AUNT JENNY AND AUNT EMILY DIDN'T WANT TO GET RIGHT INTO SCHOOL, BUT AUNT JENNY WAS SO SAD, AND MISSING ALL OF HER OLD FRIENDS THAT I DECIDED IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THEM TO GET INTO SCHOOL TO GET BUSY, AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS. YOUR MOMMY MET HER VERY BEST FRIEND THAT DAY IN FIFTH GRADE. YOUR MOMMY AND MELISSA WERE MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS, THEY WERE LIKE SISTERS, AND JUST LIKE SISTERS THEY HAD THERE GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES BUT ALWAYS REMAINED TRUE TO ONE ANOTHER. MELISSA IS PART OF OUR FAMILY, AND SHE LOVES YOU JUST AS SHE LOVED YOUR MOMMY! YOU'RE A LUCKY LITTLE GIRL TO HAVE SO MUCH LOVE IN YOUR LIFE, AND MOMMY WATCHES OVER YOU AND LOVES YOU FROM HEAVEN, AND GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH THAT HE HAS GIVEN YOU A LOT OF PEOPLE TO WATCH OVER YOU, AND LOVE YOU! I OFTEN WONDER IF YOUR MOMMY HADN'T INSISTED ON STARTING SCHOOL RIGHT AWAY IF YOUR MOMMY AND MELISSA WOULD HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER, OR WOULD THEY HAVE BEEN THE DEAREST OF FRIENDS. I'M GLAD SHE HAD HER WAY! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH PRECIOUS KEEGAN! YOU BRING SO MUCH JOY TO US, AND ALTHOUGH YOUR MOMMY DIDN'T GET A LOT OF TIME WITH YOU, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME IN HER LIFE, SHE TREASURED EVERY MOMENT WITH YOU! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsHey, I was in jail while all this happened and I didn't have a chance to send my deepest sympathy but hopefully she's in a better place!!!
CommentsMY PRECIOUS PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO VISIT MELISSA AT WORK AND THEY WERE ALL SO HAPPY TO SEE HER. I WENT BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE AND ENDED UP STAYING THERE FOR A FEW HOURS. IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY, NOT TOO HOT, AND A NICE BREEZE BLEW THROUGH THAT OAK TREE THAT I LOVE ACROSS FROM YOUR GRAVE. I'VE MADE A FEW NEW FRIENDS THERE THAT I SEE FROM TIME TO TIME. I TOLD MY NEW FRIEND KATHY ABOUT YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU COULD DO THAT. SHE WAS SO EXCITED AND I COULD SEE IDEAS RUNNING THROUGH HER HEAD AS WE VISITED. I PUT A FEW NEW PICTURES ON THE WEBPAGE, ONE WITH NICOLE IN IT, AND THE OTHER HAS WHITNEY IN IT. WHITNEY HAS BEEN SO SWEET, AND I ENJOY HER COMPANY, AND I KNOW YOU AND NICOLE ARE ENJOYING EACH OTHER IN HEAVEN. IT'S SO UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE NICOLE WAS HERE AT THE HOUSE NOT LONG AGO TALKING ABOUT YOU AND GOD IN HEAVEN, AND NOW SHE'S WITH YOU! I'M ALMOST JEALOUS. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO TORN, WANTING TO BE IN TWO PLACES AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I KNOW I NEED TO BE HERE NOW WITH YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. I REALLY MISS YOU THOUGH. I TALKED TO GREAT AUNT DOROTHY TODAY. SHE UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN BECAUSE SHE LOST HER DAUGHTER NANCY SO LONG AGO. HER AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A SPECIAL BOND, BUT NOW IT'S EVEN STRONGER. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, LIKE NO ONE ELSE. EVEN THOUGH SHE'S SO FAR AWAY, AND I SO RARELY SEE HER, SHE IS SO CLOSE AT HEART. THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU. I'M GLAD THAT I HAVE A PIECE OF YOU TO CARRY WITH ME, AND YET I WANT MORE! I KNOW THAT IT IS SELFISH OF ME, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN PARADISE, BUT I LONG TO BE TOGETHER! TIME HERE ON EARTH SEEMS FOREVER, AND YET IT IS REALLY THE BLINK OF AN EYE. WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT STUPID LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE, I THINK TO MYSELF, THAT'S SO UNIMPORTANT. I DON'T MEAN TO SEEM UNCARING, BUT THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER THINGS IN LIFE, AND LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS TO LET EVERY LITTLE THING GET TO YOU. NOW, INSTEAD OF GETTING UPSET ABOUT LITTLE THINGS, I PRAY. I'VE ALWAYS PRAYED, BUT I PRAY MORE. WELL MY SWEET ANGEL, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I REMEMBER ONE CHRISTMAS A LONG TIME AGO WHEN YOUR AUNT EMILY RECEIVED A REMOTE CONTROL WALKER WITH A DOLL IN IT. EVERYONE LOVED THAT THING. YOUR GRANDPA KEPT TRYING TO STEAL IT TO PLAY WITH IT (I GUESS HE MUST HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED AS A CHILD), AND OF COURSE YOUR MOMMY WANTED TO PLAY WITH IT TOO. YOUR MOMMY AND I BROUGHT IT UPSTAIRS AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THE REMOTE WAS SO POWERFUL THAT IT CONTROLLED OTHER THINGS. WE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW A NEIGHBOR BOY AND HIS COUSIN PLAYING WITH A NEW REMOTE CONTROL CAR, WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WONDERED IF EMILY'S REMOTE WOULD CONTROL THAT CAR, SO WE HID AND TRIED IT, IT WORKED, WE NOW HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE GIGGLED WATCHING THEM SO CONFUSED AT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE CAR COULD MOVE WHEN NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THE REMOTE. EVERY TIME THEY STOPPED THE CAR, WE WOULD TAKE OVER. WE WERE EVEN ABLE TO OVER RIDE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE DOING. THE ONE BOY GOT SO UPSET WITH HIS COUSIN AND SAID "YOU BROKE MY NEW CAR" AND THE OTHER BOY HAD SUCH A CONFUSED LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE HAD DONE. YOUR MOMMY AND I LAUGHED SO MUCH! WE FINALLY DECIDED THAT WE HAD TO TELL THEM THAT IT WAS US DOING IT BECAUSE THE ONE BOY WAS GOING TO GO TELL ON HIS COUSIN FOR BREAKING HIS TOY. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS AS FUNNY AS WE DID, BUT WE FELT PRETTY POWERFUL AND CONTENT AT THE TIME. LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsMY SARAH, WHEN I LOOK AT A PICTURE OF YOU, I CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE. YOU HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE! I GET LOST IN YOUR EYES, AND I REMEMBER WHAT JOY YOU BROUGHT TO MY LIFE! I TREASURE EVERY MOMENT THAT WE SPENT TOGETHER! YOU TICKLED MY HEART IN WAYS THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD! I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT HE HONORED ME WITH THE BLESSING OF YOU! IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE THAT HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN I DO, BUT I KNOW IT'S TRUE! EVEN THOUGH I MISS YOU SO, I'M HAPPY YOU'RE TOGETHER, I KNOW YOU LOVE HIM TOO! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN SPENT THE NIGHT WITH MIKE, SO I SLEPT IN. WHEN I OPENED MY EYES YOUR FACE WAS THE FIRST THING THAT I SAW. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE TURNED TOWARDS YOUR PICTURE, AND IT MADE ME HAPPY AND I SMILED. IT REMINDED ME OF YOU AND KEEGAN, HOW EACH MORNING YOU WOULD WAKE ME UP WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE. I MISS THAT! PUPCAKE AND I ARE GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER TOGETHER. I WANT TO CUT THE HAIR OUT OF HER FACE, AND CUT HER NAILS, AND CLEAN HER EYES (SHE HAS DRIED TEARS), AND THAN SHE'LL SMELL LIKE A FLOWER, JUST THE WAY YOU LOVED HER. SHE IS SO SUBMISSIVE IN THE SHOWER WHERE NORMALLY SHE WILL ARGUE WITH YOU. I'M HOPING TO WORK ON YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT TODAY. I REALLY NEED TO TURN THE GROUND AND ADD RICH SOIL. I REALLY WANT TO GET IT DONE, BUT I'VE LEARNED TO JUST DO THINGS AS I CAN. EITHER WAY, I'LL BE BY TO VISIT. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsSarah- It's been a couple days since I've been able to go on the internet but now that I got a chance I thought I would write you. On Friday, I went to visit you. The glider bench your mom did is so gorgeous! I put my flowers in the vase next to it. It was very windy and I was hoping that they wouldn't blow over so I had Jake dig a little hole to put the vase in. I wanted to just lay next to you but I knew it would have been too hard. When we were leaving, we ran into your mom. She had some beautiful, bright flowers for you. She seemed strong when we saw her. I can't wait to visit you when your beautiful marker is there. Hope you are having a good time with Nicole in Heaven. Miss you, Sarah! Love Whit
CommentsMY SARAH, I WANTED TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO TELL YOU THAT I'M THINKING OF YOU, AND I LOVE YOU! PUPS LOOKS GOOD AFTER HER SHOWER WITH ME. I TRIMMED HER FACE HAIR, AND PAWS, I ONLY CUT A FEW OF HER NAILS BECAUSE SHE WAS GETTING WORN OUT, BUT I'LL DO MORE LATER ON IN THE WEEK. SHE LOOKS BETTER THOUGH, AND SMELLS REAL GOOD, JUST THE WAY YOU LOVED HER. WHEN KEEGAN CAME HOME SHE WANTED TO WATCH HER BABY EINSTEIN, SHE LOVES THAT, AND IT TEACHES HER A LOT. I'M THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO THE MALL. THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT I WANTED TO GET DONE, AND A FEW PEOPLE THAT I WANTED TO SEE. MOST OF MY FRIENDS WEREN'T THERE, BUT WE SAW YOUR COUSIN AMANDA AND SHE WAS SO DELIGHTED TO SEE YOUR KEEGAN. SHE GAVE KEEGAN LOTS OF KISSES AND HUGS, AND SHOWED HER OFF TO ALL OF HER DISNEY FRIENDS. AFTER THAT WE WENT TO VISIT SUSIE. SHE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE KEEGAN, AND SHE PLAYED WITH HER. YOUR FRIEND TERA SPOTTED US AND WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE KEEGAN! TERA HELD KEEGAN FOR A LONG TIME. SHE PLAYED WITH KEEGAN, AND THEY TALKED TO EACH OTHER, AND GIGGLED, AND HAD THE BEST TIME TOGETHER! TERA FED KEEGAN A BOTTLE AND SHE FELL ASLEEP IN HER ARMS FOR AWHILE. WHEN SHE WOKE UP SHE WAS READY TO PLAY AGAIN. WE ALL TALKED A LOT ABOUT YOU, ABOUT HOW WRONG THIS WHOLE THING WAS, AND ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL AND FUN YOU WERE. WE ALL AGREED THAT KEEGAN IS JUST LIKE HER MOMMY, BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY! SUSIE AND I HAD ALREADY MADE PLANS TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE AFTER SHE GOT OFF WORK, SO WE MET UP THERE. I BUNDLED KEEGAN IN HER STROLLER WITH A BOTTLE PROPPED UP, AND THE THREE OF US WENT TO YOUR GRAVE. KEEGAN SLEPT AS SUSIE AND I ARRANGED YOUR FLOWERS (SHE BROUGHT YOU TWO BUNCHES OF FLOWERS) THAT I ADDED TO YOUR OTHER FLOWERS. IT LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL! I WATERED YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT, AND THAN WE VISITED AT YOUR GRAVE. AS THE SUN WENT DOWN I LAID BESIDE YOU, AND WE TALKED ABOUT YOU AND OTHER THINGS. AS I LAID THERE LOOKING AT THE STARS (FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME) I THOUGHT OF YOU. I THOUGHT ABOUT HEAVEN, AND YOU IN HEAVEN, AND HOW IT IS SO FAR AWAY, YET YOU ARE CLOSE AT HEART. I PUT KISSES IN MY HAND AND RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH THE GRASS. I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD BEGIN TO IMAGINE MY HEART ACHE, I MISS YOU SO! I OFTEN WISH THAT THIS IS A HORRIBLE DREAM, AND THAT I JUST NEED TO WAKE UP. DEAR GOD HOW I WISH THAT WERE TRUE! ANYWAY, SUSIE AND I HAD A REALLY NICE VISIT, AND SHE WAS SO SWEET AND COMFORTING! SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT YOU, AND I LOVE THAT! WHEN WE GOT HOME I PUT KEEGAN TO BED AND SHE'S SLEEPING PEACEFULLY. PUPCAKE IS LAYING ON HER QUEEN BED. SHE'S SO CLEAN AND SOFT. IT'S QUIET NOW, AND THAT'S WHEN IT IS THE HARDEST. I LOVED THE EVENINGS WHEN YOU WERE HERE BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE SOME GREAT HEART TO HEART TALKS. SOMETIMES WE WOULD WATCH TV OR A MOVIE TOGETHER AND JUST ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY. I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO WATCH TV ANYMORE, EVEN MOVIES ARE HARD FOR ME. I'M SURE IN TIME THAT WILL PASS, BUT FOR NOW IT'S PRETTY MUCH BABY EINSTEIN. I THINK I'M GOING TO START WALKING EVERYDAY LIKE I USED TO. IT FELT GOOD, AND KEEGAN LOVES NATURE SO I KNOW THAT SHE'LL ENJOY IT TOO. SHE'S SO CUTE HOW SHE WATCHES THE WIND BLOW THE LEAVES ON A TREE, AND BIRDS FLYING ARE QUITE A CURIOUS THING TO HER, AND ANYWHERE THERE IS WATER IS A HAPPY PLACE. I WONDER IF SHE LOVES NATURE SO BECAUSE WHEN SHE WAS IN YOU, YOU WORKED OUTSIDE AND SHE HEARD ALL OF THOSE SOUNDS. I KNOW YOUR GREAT GRANDPA WOULD HAVE LOVED HER! THEY BOTH LOVE THE OUTDOORS! ALL OF THE THINGS THAT SHE LOVES, HE LOVED! I REALLY WANT TO BRING KEEGAN TO LONG BEACH (WHERE GREAT GRANDPA LIVED) SO THAT I CAN BRING HER TO THE BAY, WHERE YOU ONCE PLAYED AND SWAM AS GENERATIONS FROM OUR FAMILY HAVE ALWAYS DONE. I REMEMBER THE BIG THING WHEN I WAS A CHILD, AND WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, WAS TO SWIM OUT TO THE BUOY AND BACK. OF COURSE IT JUST WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT GREAT GRANDPA TO SWIM BESIDE. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD TIME TO MISS HIM, WITH ALL THAT WENT ON WITH YOU. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS 101 YEARS OLD, AND HE LIVED A GOOD LONG LIFE, HE WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PERSON IN ALL OF OUR LIVES, AND LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT HIM. BUT YOU, TAKEN SO YOUNG, A NEW MOMMY, SOMETHING SO CURABLE, THAT'S A LOT TO BARE! THAT'S THE PART THAT HURTS SO BAD, KNOWING THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE! I HAVE TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. IN YOUR NAME, IF A LIFE OR MORE COULD BE SPARED WOULDN'T THAT BE A BEAUTIFUL THING! TO KNOW THAT OTHERS WERE SPARED YOUR PAIN, AND THEIR LOVED ONES MY HEARTACHE, THAT WOULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SO MANY ERRORS WERE MADE THAT BROUGHT YOU TO YOUR GRAVE. WHEN I GO THERE, TO YOUR GRAVE, I SIT THERE THINKING, HOW CAN ALL OF THIS BE REAL. WHY DIDN'T THEY SEE THIS, IT WAS SO CLEAR THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG. I KNEW IT, YOU KNEW IT, WHY DIDN'T THEY CARE? I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING, I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TRUST PEOPLE, AND YOU HAVE TO FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT TO GET THE TRUTH! HOW SAD, THAT THEY MAKE YOU FIGHT. HOW SAD THAT THEY DON'T CARE. LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS, AND SHOULD BE TREATED SO! I WISH THAT PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND THAT. I GET SO ANGRY WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LIFE! BUT GOD, IN HIS PERFECT GRACE, WELCOMED YOU INTO HIS KINGDOM, SAFE FROM ANYMORE PAIN. THOSE OF US THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND STILL SUFFER THE PAIN OF THE HEARTACHE OF LOSING YOU. A PAIN WE WILL CARRY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. WE MISS YOU SWEET ANGEL! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS. KEEGAN AND I HAVE BEEN BUSY IN THE GARDEN. I DID THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T DONE SINCE BEFORE YOU LEFT US. THE GARDEN WAS LOOKING PRETTY SAD, BUT I NEED TO MAKE IT NICE AGAIN IN YOUR MEMORY. YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME OUT IN THE GARDEN, WHEN I COULD GET YOU OUT OF BED. KEEGAN AND I LOVE THE GARDEN TOO. SHE HELPED ME WATER AND TOP OF THE FOUNTAIN. KEEGAN JUST WENT DOWN FOR HER MORNING NAP, AND PUPS IS FULL OF ENERGY. PUPCAKE WANTS TO BARK AT THE MEN DOING CABLE WORK OUTSIDE BUT I KEEP THREATENING HER WITH MY WATER BOTTLE. WELL MY LOVE, I'M GOING TO GET BACK TO WORK, BUT I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU, AND I'LL BE BY TO VISIT LATER. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentskeegan i have been trying to write to u for a long time now but every time i come on i read and then i cant even write. i just wanted to tell you keegan that you are a very lucky little girl to have such a loving family and friends, hopefully i will be able to tell you some stories so you can remember your mommy. well it was easter and i had never in my life painted eggs so your grandma debbie invited me over to paint some eggs with the girls. jenny, emily, beth, and me started working on the eggs while sarah was still sleeping,(12:00)hahaha and finally after debbie begged with sarah she came down. sarah sat down at the table and started by sticking some stickers on the eggs and said there its done. she was being silly but noticed that she had to get ready for home town buffet, so i told her i would do her hair after she got out of the shower. she came down stairs in her work clothes and a blow dryer, debbie wanted to take some of her famous pictures but sarah didn't want to do eggs any more. she was fussing about it even though relentless sarah took her blow dryer and started drying the eggs just to act like she was participating and of course to pose for a pic. it was so cute, i still look at the picture and get a little sence of how sarah was and it brings a big kool-aid smile to my face. i hope it brings a smile to yours, because your mommy had the right idea to finish the eggs with style. may god bless you with lots of love and respect. love laura
CommentsSarah-- I was looking at the pictures on this webpage and I saw the one of me, you, Melissa, and Ginae. I just started laughing and it made me so happy to see you and me together. Those dickies overalls were so ugly but we thought that they were so cool and HAD to have them! I can't believe how cool it used to be to get those pictures like once a week and hand them out to all of our friends with little notes on the back! haha on one of my pictures that you gave me, you put... "Cherish this forever!" you were saying it sarcastically but I never would have thrown it away and I am so glad that I didn't, now that you are gone. I will always have memories but pictures are always nice to look at because they make me smile just as you always did! Love you and miss you, Sarah.
CommentsMY SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN RANCHO CALIFORNIA ROAD AND THERE WAS THIS LONG MEDAL THING IN THE ROAD, I COULDN'T AVOID IT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO IN THE LANE BESIDE ME TO DO SO. I ENDED UP GETTING A BAD FLAT TIRE ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE. AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE UPSET ABOUT IT (I KNEW YOUR DAD WOULD COMPLAIN), BUT THAN I THOUGHT, THANK GOD IT WASN'T THE FRONT TIRE BECAUSE THAT THING FLEW UP AFTER I HIT IT, AND WHO KNOWS, IT COULD HAVE HURT KEEGAN. SO INSTEAD I THANKED GOD FOR PROTECTING KEEGAN AND I. I WALKED OVER TO THE ROAD AND PICKED UP THE BIG MEDAL THING SO THAT NO ONE ELSE WOULD GET A FLAT, OR WORSE. I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU MORE THAN WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, WHEN YOUR MOMMY WAS IN THE FOURTH GRADE SHE HAD A REALLY FUN TEACHER, MR. HORNBECK. THEY GOT ALONG GREAT, AND I OFTEN WONDERED WHO IT WAS THAT RULED THE CLASS, MR. HORNBECK OR YOUR MOMMY. I GUESS THEY BOTH DID. HE WAS ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS THAT FOUND THE GIFTS IN A CHILD, AND USED THEM. MR. HORNBECK LET YOUR MOMMY HAVE A DESK AS BIG AS HIS, UP FRONT NEAR HIM, AND HE TOLD HER THAT IF SHE WANTED, SHE COULD BRING A OFFICE CHAIR FROM HOME TO HAVE AT HER DESK, AND SHE DID. HE GAVE HER IMPORTANT JOBS, AND USED HER TALENTS. I'LL NEVER FORGET ON CRAZY HAIR DAY WE DECIDED TO TEASE HER HAIR SO IT STOOD STRAIGHT OUT AND SPRAYED TONS OF HAIR SPRAY IN IT. WHEN SHE GOT TO SCHOOL, MR. HORNBECK ASKED HER IF SHE HAD STUCK HER FINGER IN A LIGHT SOCKET. SHE WON THE CONTEST. OUR FAMILY USED TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH SARAH WHEN IT CAME TO HER SPELLING LIST. SHE WOULD FORGET HER SPELLING LIST AT SCHOOL, BUT SHE WOULD WANT TO START STUDYING, SO SHE WOULD CALL HER FRIEND CASSANDRA TO GET THE WORDS. SHE WOULD ASK CASSANDRA THE FIRST WORD, AND THAN SHE WOULD SAY SPELL IT, AND THAN THE NEXT WORD, AND SHE'D SAY SPELL IT. OUR FAMILY WOULD BE REAL CLOSE TO HER WHEN SHE WAS ON THE PHONE BECAUSE EACH TIME SHE SAID SPELL IT, WE WOULD SAY I, T. SHE WOULD GET SO FLUSTERED TRYING SO HARD NOT TO SAY SPELL IT, KNOWING WE WERE WAITING TO TEASE HER. IT WAS SO CUTE, AND SHE DID IT A LOT, ALMOST EACH WEEK. SHE LEARNED A LOT IN MR. HORNBECK'S CLASS, AND SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING IT! I TOUGHT IT WAS SO NEAT THAT YOUR MOMMY GREW UP AND WANTED TO BE A TEACHER. I KNOW SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY GOOD ONE LIKE MR. HORNBECK! LOVE GAMAMA
Name: CommentsKEEGS, YOUR MOMMY AND I LOVED GETTING DRESSED UP FOR ANY REASON! BECAUSE WE LOVED WATCHING JENNY DO IT. SO FOR THE 8TH GRADE DANCE WE WERE AT HER HOUSE, (YOUR HOUSE), AND YOUR GRANDMA DID OUR HAIR AND IM SURE AUNTIE JENNY DID OUR MAKEUP. I WENT WITH MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME BLAKE AND MOMMY WENT WITH JUST A FRIEND, BRIAN O'DOWD. WE LOOKED SOOO DRESSED UP JUST FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE, BUT WE DIDN'T CARE, WE FELT PRETTY. THE DANCE WAS SO FUN , I HAVE IT ALL ON VIDEO. AND OUR FAV SONG AT THE TIME CAME ON, "BACK THAT THANG UP." CommentsSarah was loved by many people. touch many hearts. we will never forget her. Sarah was one of a kind but left a piece of her here. We will never forget you Sarah.
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, GOOD MORNING SWEETHEART. KEEGAN AND I SAT IN THE GARDEN AND LISTENED TO THE FOUNTAIN. SHE LOVES THAT! SHE'S DOWN ON HER BLANKET PLAYING WITH HER TOYS AND MOVING ALL AROUND. I PUT A BUNCH OF BIG PILLOWS IN A CIRCLE TO KEEP HER FROM WANDERING AROUND THE HOUSE. I KNOW THAT WON'T WORK FOR LONG. I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS! I LOVE WAKING UP TO YOUR PICTURE IN MY ROOM. YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE MAKES MY DAY, AND THAN I SEE YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN'S BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY TOO! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY

CommentsI love you and i miss when you'd yell "MY HAIR IS NOT RED!" I miss how you always had ur nails perfect, ur hair perfect, ur shoes and clothes perfect, and I miss the times when you'd teach me new things- Like the time when you started wearing those bandana's in ur hair- I came over to ur house and you were trying to teach me how to wear them. Of course, they didn't look cute on me- and to this day, I think you are the only person i know who can pull the bandana thing off! I love u so much and i'd do anything to have you back here with us and ur baby... <3 u sarah1
CommentsO my goodness You are soooo loved Sarah. I just got back from visiting you and there were so many flowers in your pot i had no room for mine. It looks like such a beautiful bouquet with all the different flowers and colors well just had to tell you i love you!!!!
CommentsPRECIOUS KEEGAN, WHEN YOUR MOMMY WAS A LITTLE GIRL SHE LOVED TO GO TO CHURCH, AND SHE ALWAYS HAD THE MOST INTERESTING QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD. SOME OF THEM WERE SO DEEP THAT I COULDN'T ANSWER THEM, I TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO ASK GOD SOMEDAY. WHEN SHE WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DURING THE SUMMER SHE LOVED TO GO TO VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL. ONE SUMMER OUR CHURCH (COTTONWOOD CHRISTIAN CENTER) WAS HAVING A RENAISSANCE THEME FOR VBS. IT WAS THE WEEK OF HER BIRTHDAY SO I DRESSED HER UP SO PRETTY IN A PINK RENAISSANCE TYPE DRESS, AND I MADE HER A RENAISSANCE HAT FIT FOR A QUEEN. SHE LOOKED ADORABLE! SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT OUT OF HUNDREDS OF KIDS THERE, THEY CALLED HER UP ON THE STAGE TO COMMENT ABOUT HER OUTFIT. WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY, THEY ALL SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HER. THAT WAS ALSO THE DAY THAT EMILY ASKED JESUS INTO HER HEART. A SPECIAL DAY FOR BOTH OF THEM! YOUR MOMMY WAS SO CUTE, THEY HAD A CONTEST GOING TO SEE WHO COULD BRING THE MOST VISITORS TO VBS. YOUR MOMMY MADE ME MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS EACH WAY, EVERYDAY SO THAT SHE COULD WIN THAT CONTEST, AND SHE DID WIN! SHE BROUGHT NEARLY FORTY VISITORS. SHE WON A TRIP TO SUMMER CAMP. SHE WAS SO EXCITED! WHEN SHE WENT TO SUMMER CAMP SHE HAD THE BEST TIME! THEY HAD SO MANY ACTIVITIES, AND CAMP FIRES WITH SONGS, AND BIBLE TIME. SHE LOVED IT! I'M SURE SOMEDAY YOU'LL GO TO SUMMER CAMP, LIKE MOMMY, AND I KNOW YOU'LL HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME TOO. AS A CHILD I WENT TO SUMMER CAMP MANY TIMES, AND THEY ARE REALLY FOND MEMORIES TO ME! I LOVE YOU KEEGAN! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsMY SARAH, JENNY CALLED ME, SHE SOUNDED SAD. SHE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO GO VISIT YOUR GRAVE WITH HER. SO KEEGAN AND I WENT RIGHT OVER THERE. JENNY BOUGHT YOU SOME BEAUTIFUL RED FLOWERS. THE THREE OF US SAT ON A BLANKET WITH A PARASOL AND TALKED ABOUT YOU. IT WAS NICE TO BE TOGETHER, WE'RE BOTH HURTING SO! WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU, AND HOW HEART BROKEN WE ARE. WE SAT THERE FOR A LONG TIME, IT JUST FELT RIGHT. WHEN I GOT UP TO GO GET THE CAR THE GARDENER ASKED ME IF IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY. I SAID NO. HE SAID THAT YOU HAD HAD SO MANY VISITORS AND FLOWERS THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY. I SAID NO, WE JUST MISS HER SO MUCH, IT'S HARD! WE WENT TO THE MALL, ATE SOME LUNCH, SAW SOME FRIENDS, AND DID A LITTLE SHOPPING. KEEGAN IS ON HER BLANKET, DRINKING HER BOTTLE. I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE HER ON AN EVENING STROLL. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU MY PRECIOUS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMet you at Gymboree today...will pray for you. Dana
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN AND I WENT ON A WALK AND BETH JOINED US. WE WENT TO THE PARK AND I TOOK KEEGAN ON A PARK SWING FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE GIGGLED SO HARD! WE WENT DOWN THE TWISTY SLIDE (QUITE A CHALLENGE FOR ME), AND WE WENT ON THE WIGGLY BRIDGE, AND THAN DOWN SOME REGULAR SLIDES. SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN, AND SHE EVEN RAN HER TOES THROUGH THE SAND. WE WALKED UP TO THE BIG PARK ACROSS FROM RANCHO ELEMENTARY, AND SHE FELL ASLEEP. ON THE WAY BACK DOWN THE HILL WE SAW YOUR FRIEND JOSH. WE HAD A NICE VISIT AND THAN WE KEPT WALKING. WHEN WE GOT HOME KEEGAN AND EMILY TOOK A BATH TOGETHER. SHE KICKED AND SPLASHED AND HAD SUCH A FUN TIME IN THE BATH. AFTER I PUT HER PJ'S ON I ROCKED HER TO SLEEP. AS I SAT THERE ROCKING HER I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP TOO, BUT I LOOKED DOWN AT HER IN MY ARMS, SO PRECIOUS, WITH HER HAND CURLED UP NEAR HER FACE, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE HER. SHE REMINDED ME OF YOU AS A BABE, SO PRECIOUS IN MY ARMS. I LOVE MY MEMORIES OF YOU AS A BABY, A CHILD, AND THAN A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN. WHILE I WAS ROCKING HER, I LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT PICTURES AROUND THE ROOM, AND I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH YOU SO BAD! AFTER I LAID KEEGAN DOWN, I PULLED OUT THE ENVELOPE FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH LOCKS OF YOUR HAIR IN IT AND I RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH IT. I MISS THAT, YOU LOVED IT WHEN I RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. BETH AND I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE, AND IT WAS SO PEACEFUL. IT WAS REALLY DARK, AND WE LAID ON RUGS AND LOOKED AT THE STARS. WE STAYED THERE FOR AWHILE, AND BETH HELD MY HAND AS I CRIED. I TOLD BETH, I THINK NEXT TIME I'LL BRING A POP UP TENT, JUST KIDDING, BUT IT IS PEACEFUL THERE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. SOME PEOPLE THINK IT'S CREEPY, AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SO BEFORE, BUT NOT NOW. WHEN WE LEFT WE WENT AND BOUGHT SOME ICE CREAM. WHEN WE GOT HOME I THANKED EMILY FOR WATCHING KEEGAN FOR ME, AND THAN WE ALL ATE ICE CREAM. NOW, HERE I SIT, DRINKING A CUP OF TEA, THINKING OF YOU. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI am soooooo sorry for your loss. i heard about it from a friend(susie)the day you lost your precious Sarah. my heart hurts so much for all of you. Debbie, being a mom myself, i can only imagine what you're going thru. if there was a way i could help you thru this, i would do it in a heartbeat. I come to the site to read all about your angel Sarah and what a treasure she was to so many. i see how beautiful she was and is, in her pictures and in Keegans. what a precious gift she gave you all. please know that you, your family, and Sarahs friends are in my prayers. although we've never met i feel i know you just from all the great things susie has told me about you. (she ADORES you!) stay strong and know you are very loved and never alone! ((((((((HUGS)))))))
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! LITTLE KEEGAN WOKE UP SO MANY TIMES LAST NIGHT THAT I LOST COUNT, AND THAN SHE WOKE UP FULL OF SMILES THIS MORNING. WHAT A SILLY BABY! SHE'S ON HER BLANKET WITH THE HICK UPS. PUPS IS CLOSE BY. WE'RE GOING TO GO WATER THE GARDEN SOON, AND JUST HANG OUT. I LOVE YOU MY SWEET ANGEL! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHey hun, Jessica is having a baby boy. And Mels new apartment isn't as bad as she says it is. There is a truck down the street though that is a grocery store to the neighborhood. It's so funny. You would laugh so hard if you saw that. Sabrina is engaged now to Shawn. She's really happy, so that's always good. Makaila is getting big and she never takes naps anymore. It's driving me crazy. There's this huge strawberry shortcake doll at wal-mart that I am getting for Keegan. I think it's bigger than her. All of us miss you so much. Jessica and I were talking about you last night...It's still hard thinking that you are gone. I totally remember thinking that you were going to make it. There wasn't a single doubt in my mind that you were going to wake up when we were talking to you. I'm sad that I never got to talk to you before you went into the coma. None of us knew we could come to the hospital. I was up all night trying to call people. It was like 3:00 am and I was about to hop in my car and head to the hospital but I didn't want to wake you up or disturb you. It's so frustrating. I know you're having fun up there. I'm glad you aren't hurting anymore...Love you and miss you...
CommentsFRIENDS Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship. Thank you ! ! That was Sarah Thank you Sarah Very much.
CommentsMY SARAH, I DID A LOT OF HOUSEWORK EARLIER TODAY. KEEGAN KEPT INSISTING THAT I HOLD HER SO I HAD TO DO MY WORK AS SHE ALLOWED. I SAT AND ROCKED HER, SHE JUST WANTED TO SNUGGLE. AS I CLEANED, I PLAYED MUSIC AND CRIED MY EYES OUT, JUST MISSING YOU SO! LATER, JENNY AND AUNT SUSAN CAME OVER AND WE ALL WENT TO IN AND OUT, AND THAN STOPPED BY YOUR GRAVE. I FINALLY GOT A PLAY YARD FOR KEEGAN. IT'S REALLY NICE! USUALLY THEY ARE BORING WHITE, BUT THIS ONE IS PRIMARY COLORS, AND HAS TWO ACTIVITY PANELS. SHE LOVES IT, AND IT KEEPS HER SAFE! PUPS THOUGHT SHE BELONGED IN IT TOO. I THINK KEEGAN IS TAKING OVER THE HOUSE WITH HER PLAY YARD, WALKER, SWING, PLAY PIN, PLAYHOUSE, TOY BOX, AND NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS, BUT YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE IT, BECAUSE I LOVE HER SO MUCH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LEAVING A PIECE OF YOU BEHIND! SHE DOESN'T REPLACE YOU, BUT I LOVE HER THE WAY THAT I LOVED YOU! I THINK OF YOU ALWAYS, AND TALK ABOUT YOU OFTEN! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, YOUR MOMMY WAS SO FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING! IT WAS SO HARD TO DISCIPLINE HER BECAUSE SHE MADE EVERYTHING FUNNY. WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE AND I WOULD COUNT TO TRY TO GET HER TO OBEY, SHE WOULD SAY "YOU COUNT REAL GOOD MOMMY". I WOULD END UP LAUGHING AND WE'D GO ON WITH SOMETHING ELSE. WHEN IT CAME TO SINGING, SHE ALWAYS STOLE THE SHOW! SHE PUT HER WHOLE SELF INTO EVERYTHING THAT SHE DID! I ALWAYS LOOKED FOR HER REACTION BECAUSE SHE WAS SO EXPRESSIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC! I HAVE TO SAY LITTLE KEEGAN, YOU ARE A CARBON COPY OF YOUR MOMMY WHEN IT COMES TO EXPRESSION AND ENTHUSIASM! MOMMY LOVED YOU, AND WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABY GIRL! LOVE GAMAMA
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN JUST WOKE UP. I TOOK HER IN YOUR ROOM AND ROCKED HER IN YOUR ROCKER (THE ONE THAT I ROCKED YOU IN WHEN YOU WERE A BABY). IT FELT GOOD! I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART! LOVE MOMMY
Commentsjust wanted to say sorry and my prayers are with you all
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD NIGHT MY PRECIOUS. I HOPE KEEGAN AND I SLEEP REAL GOOD, AND DREAM SWEET DREAMS OF YOU! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsHEY BABY KEEGAN!!! I'VE NEVER MET U BUT I'VE SEEN U THROUGH PICTURES AND SUM OF UR MOMMY'S FRIENDS MY SPACES. U ARE A VERY BEAUTIFUL GIRL JUST LIKE UR MOMMY WAS! I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH UR MOMMY FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL UP TO COLLEGE. I HAD A COUPLE OF CLASSES WITH HER AND I REMEMBER HOW SHE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST CONVERSATIONS...SOMETIMES I THINK I PAID MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT SHE WAS SAYING THAN WHAT OUR TEACHER HAD TO SAY! LOL!! BUT EVEN THOUGH SHE DID A LOT OF TALKING SHE STILL MANAGED TO GET HER WORK DONE. ME AND UR MOMMY WEREN'T BEST FRIENDS BUT SHE WOULD STILL ALWAYS HELP ME OUT WITH SCHOOL WORK OR EVEN PERSONAL PROBLEMS. UR MOMMY WAS SUCH A CARING, BEAUTIFUL, SMART, AND STRONG WOMAN JUST LIKE YOU'LL BECOME ONE DAY!! IM ABOUT TO BE A MOMMY TOO IN NOVEMBER TO A LITTLE BOY, AND AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO UR BEAUTIFUL MOMMA IT REALLY REALLY BROKE MY HEART. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT U HAD TO BE SEPARATED FROM HER...NO BABY SHOULD BE TAKING AWAY FROM THE ONE PERSON THAT LOVES THEM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. I WANT TO LET U KNOW THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, AND THAT JESUS LOVES SOO SOO MUCH AND HIM AND UR MOMMY WHO IS NOW AN ANGEL, ARE ALWAYS WATCHING OVER U!!! I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST SAW UR MOMMY PREGNANT I WAS SOO HAPPY FOR HER BECAUSE I KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT MOMMY!! WELL BABY GIRL IM ALWAYS PRAYING FOR U AND YOUR SWEET GRANDMA, AND BECAUSE OF YOUR GUYS TESTIMONY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT WITH JESUS IN A WAY I NEVER IMAGINED. I'VE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE LIFE MORE AND THE PEOPLE I LOVE AND WHO LOVE ME AS WELL. SARAH'S MOMMY HAS MADE ME REALIZE HOW MUCH A MOTHER REALLY DOES LOVE THEIR CHILD. I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN MY MOMS LOVE FOR ME FOR GRANTED, AND AFTER READING SUM OF YOUR COMMENTS I KNOW I WOULD NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE MY MOM HURT THAT MUCH. SHE'S ALWAYS PRAYING FOR ME AND I KNOW IT BRAKES HER HEART TO KNOW THAT I DON'T GO TO CHURCH ANYMORE...I KNOW THAT SOUNDS KIND OF SILLY BUT IN MY FAMILY A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN NUMBER ONE. BUT I'M MAKING MY WAY BACK TO CHURCH, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND ARE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH TO GO TO IN TEMECULA. I DON'T ONLY WANNA GO BACK TO CHURCH TO PLEASE MY MOM, BUT ALSO BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE IT IF MY BABY BOY HAD THE SAME FOUNDATION I DID WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. AND I ALSO MISS THAT FEELING OK KNOWING GOD LOVES ME AND THAT HE'S ALWAYS WITH ME. WELL SORRY FOR GOING ON ABOUT MYSELF BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY...I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU GUYS BUT I CAN FEEL HOW STRONG YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IS. THANK YOU FOR CHANGING MY LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU AND STAY STRONG!!!
CommentsCECILIA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE! YOU MAY WANT TO TRY CORNERSTONE CHURCH, THAT'S WHERE WE GO, IT'S REALLY NICE! LOVE SARAH'S MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! KEEGAN'S IN HER PLAY YARD, OH SO ACTIVE! IT'S JUST A FEW FEET FROM ME. SHE IS HAVING THE BEST TIME IN THERE! HOW CAN SHE HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY WHEN SHE WOKE UP SO MUCH LAST NIGHT? I WANT SOME OF THAT ENERGY! PUPS WENT BACK TO BED ON HER QUEEN BED. I'M THINKING ABOUT JOINING HER, IT'S SO SOFT AND COMFORTABLE! SHE LOOKS SO CUTE CURLED UP IN A LITTLE BALL. I'M TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOUR BABIES FOR YOU! I GIVE THEM LOTS OF LOVE AND TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, IM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ON HERE IN A WHILE. I MOVED IN WITH STEVEN LAST WEEK AND WE DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER SO I HAVE TO COME BACK HOME AND USE IT. I THINK YOUR MOM CALLED ME LAST NIGHT BUT I WAS ALREADY ASLEEP. I LOVE WHEN YOUR MOM AND I GET TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER. YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ME SAD IS THAT WHENEVER YOUR MOM CALLS ME I GET SCARED ALL OVER AGAIN, BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL AND SHE WOULD CALL ME TO KEEP ME UPDATED ON HOW YOU WERE, EVERY CALL SEEMED TO GET WORSE :( I ALSO STILL HAVE YOUR HOSPITAL ROOM PHONE NUMBER SAVED IN MY PHONE. I CANT BRING MYSELF TO DELETE IT, BECAUSE THAT WAS HOW I TALKED TO YOU THE LAST TIME. WE TALKED AND YOU SAID THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH KEEGAN AT NIGHT. AND THE LAST TIME THAT I GOT TO SEE YOU BEFORE YOU WENT INTO THE COMA, YOU WERE IN YOUR WHEEL CHAIR AND I LEANED DOWN TO GIVE YOU A HUG AND WE SAID I LOVE YOU TO EACH OTHER. WHEN YOUR MOM, SISTERS, KEEGAN, AND MY MOM WENT TO RED ROBIN LIKE A WEEK AGO WE WERE ALL TALKING ABOUT FUNNY OLD MEMORIES OF YOU. AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THE TIME WHEN YOU AND I WANTED TO BE MORE HEALTHY, WE WERE LIKE 10 OR SOMETHING, AND SO WE WENT TO LOOK IN MY FRIDGE TO FIND SOMETHING TO HAVE. WE FOUND HI-C AND THOUGHT "O IT HAS SOME VITAMIN C IN IT, IT MUST BE HEALTHY" WELL WE ENDED UP DRINKING THE WHOLE CONTAINER, WE WERE A LITTLE SICK LATER THOUGH... EVERY TIME I THINK OF A MEMORY OF YOU I PUT IT IN MY PHONE AS A NOTE. YOUR MOM LOVES IT WHEN I DO THAT. SO I HAVE SOO MANY, LIKE... WHEN WE HAD MR. KEE FOR A TEACHER IN 8TH GRADE AND WE THOUGHT HE WAS SOOOO ANNOYING! BUT HE WAS FUB AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW CLOSE WE WERE AND SO HE WOULD MESS WITH US, LIKE WHEN HE CAUGHT ME READING A NOTE FROM YOU AND HE TOOK IT. HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO START TO POST ALL OUR NOTES ALL AROUND THE CLASS SO EVERYONE COULD READ. WE WERE SO MAD SO WE STARTED TO USE CODE WORDS FOR PEOPLES NAMES. THEN... YOU HAD TO GO TO SATURDAY SCHOOL, AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO SATURDAY MORNINGS SINCE YOU WOULD BE THERE. SO I WENT WITH YOU AND GUESS WHO WAS OUR TEACHER!?! YEP MR KEE! HAHA AND HE ACTUALLY LET ME STAY IN THE CLASS, I THINK HE JUST OT A KICK OUT OF US, WE MADE THE CLASS FUN. ANOTHER TEACHER WE HAD WAS MS SMERSHAL. WE LOVEDDDDDD HER! SHE WAS SOO MUCH FUN. SHE WOULD WRITE US FAKE REFERRALS TO BRING TO OUR MOMS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY TO SEE THEM GET MAD, EVEN THOUGH IT JUST SAID WE WERE IN TROUBLE FOR BEING FAT HAHAHAH. I LOVE YOU SARAH, I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP WHEN I THINK OF YOU AT NIGHT
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, I REALLY MISSED YOU TODAY! JENNY, EMILY, KEEGAN AND I VISITED YOUR GRAVE EARLIER TODAY, AND THAN WE TOOK KEEGAN TO THE BEACH FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE LOVED IT! SHE PLAYED IN THE WATER, AND IN THE SAND, AND HAD A JOLLY OLD TIME! KEEGAN RAN HER FINGERS THROUGH THE SAND AND WATCHED IT RUN OUT WITH SUCH CURIOSITY. SHE ENDED UP GETTING SAND IN HER MOUTH AND NOSE, SHE LOOKED SO CUTE, AND IT DIDN'T BOTHER HER IN THE LEAST. SHE REMINDED ME OF YOU, SHE WAS HAVING TOO MUCH FUN TO BE UPSET ABOUT SAND IN HER FACE. SHE PLAYED WITH HER BUCKET AND SHOVEL AND THAN I TOOK HER IN THE OCEAN AND RINSED HER OFF. SHE COULDN'T TAKE HER EYES OFF OF THE WAVES! WE TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES OF HER. AFTER SHE WAS ALL CLEANED UP AND COZY WITH A BOTTLE, WE LEFT FOR HOME. SHE SLEPT GOOD ON THE WAY HOME! WHEN WE GOT HOME KEEGAN AND I TOOK A NICE LONG BATH AND SHE SPLASHED AND KICKED. SHE LOVES HER BATH TOYS, ESPECIALLY HER RUBBER DUCKY. WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE BATH, PUPCAKE JUMPED IN, SHE WAS SOAKING WET, AND A LITTLE SURPRISED. AFTER I DRIED KEEGAN OFF AND DRESSED HER WE WENT FOR A SHORT WALK. I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU A LOT TODAY, ALL THAT YOU WERE MISSING. IT WAS FUN, BUT IT WASN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU! THE CAR RIDE WAS ALMOST BORING WITHOUT YOU, YOU ALWAYS ENTERTAINED US SO! I'LL NEVER FORGET ONE TIME WHEN WE WENT TO THE BEACH AND YOU DIDN'T LIKE MY MUSIC SO YOU PULLED MY TAPE OUT OF THE PLAYER, STUCK YOUR HAND OUT THE WINDOW, AND STARTED PULLING THE TAPE OUT OF THE CASSETTE. I TRIED TO FIX THAT TAPE, BUT WAS NEVER ABLE TO. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR DAD WAS WATCHING SMALL VILLE AND IT MADE ME THINK OF YOU. I REMEMBER WHEN HE USED TO CALL US ON OUR CELL PHONES DURING COMMERCIAL TO TELL US WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HE'D SAY CLARK DID THIS, OR LANA DID THAT, AND WE'D TELL HIM WE DIDN'T CARE, BUT HE ALWAYS CALLED ANYWAY. SOMETIMES HE CALLED WHEN WE WERE DOING IMPORTANT THINGS, AND HE WOULDN'T STOP, WE WOULD GET SO ANNOYED! AT TIMES WE WERE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND HE WOULD CALL ONE OF US AND THAN THE OTHER. WHEN HE DID THAT, THE SECOND ONE TO GET THE PHONE CALL WOULD ANSWER BY TELLING HIM WHAT HE HAD JUST TOLD THE OTHER. THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO PHASE HIM, HE WAS ONLY MORE EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE WOULD LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME. TO GET BACK AT HIM WE STARTED MAKING THINGS UP ABOUT THEM AND CALLED HIM AS IF THEY HAD REALLY HAPPENED. HE'D GET SO CONFUSED. WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE, WE DECIDED TO CALL HIM AND TELL HIM ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON WITH CHARACTERS FROM GENERAL HOSPITAL, ONLY WE DIDN'T TELL HIM IT WAS FROM A SOAP OPERA, THAT REALLY CONFUSED HIM. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH HIS CRAZINESS WITHOUT YOU? YOU WERE THE ONE THAT I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON! WE UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER, WE AGREED, AND WE PLOTTED WELL TOGETHER! I MISS THAT! I MISS YOU! YOU ALWAYS KEPT ME GOING! I MISS THAT TOO! THERE'S NOTHING THAT I DON'T MISS ABOUT YOU! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING MY PRECIOUS. I LOVE YOU! YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN WOKE UP SAYING HI, HI, AND THAN SHE BLEW RASPBERRIES. PUPCAKE AND SUGAR ARE PLAYING THEIR MORNING GAMES AS KEEGAN PLAYS IN HER PLAY YARD. IT'S OVERCAST OUTSIDE, BUT WHEN IT CLEARS I'LL BE BY TO SEE YOU. I THINK WE'LL GO VISIT MELISSA AT WORK ALSO. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I'M TAKING A QUICK MOMENT TO SAY I LOVE YOU AND I'M THINKING OF YOU! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS SUCH A JOY, AND SHE'S DOING SO MANY FUN THINGS! IT HURTS NOT HAVING YOU HERE TO SEE IT ALL! IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART THAT YOU WERE CHEATED FROM THAT! AUNT SUSAN TOOK KEEGAN AND I OUT TO LUNCH TODAY. THE COUPLE AT THE TABLE NEXT TO US COULDN'T KEEP THERE EYES OFF OF KEEGAN. THEY KEPT TELLING US HOW PRECIOUS SHE IS. AFTER THEY HAD GONE ON FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, I HAD TO SHARE ABOUT YOU, THAN MELISSA CALLED ME AND I NOTICED THAT THE WOMAN HAD PUT HER SUNGLASSES ON. AUNT SUSAN SAID THAT THE LADY WAS CRYING, AND HER HUSBAND HAD WIPED SOME TEARS AWAY TOO. I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE THEM CRY, I SHARE WHEN I FEEL LED TO. WHEN I DO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOU THEY OFTEN THANK ME FOR REMINDING THEM HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO THINK TWICE ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT LITTLE THINGS. I THINK THAT'S SO SWEET WHEN SOMEONE TAKES A LOOK AT THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF YOU. I MET SHANNON'S MOM YESTERDAY AT THE CEMETERY. YOU AND SHANNON GRADUATED TOGETHER. HER MOM IS SO SWEET, AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER. I TOLD HER THAT I KNOW, AND THAT'S THE HARD PART KNOWING THAT IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER. HOW COULD IT? I KNOW THAT I AM FOREVER CHANGED! I HOPE THAT SHANNON'S MOM AND I CAN BECOME FRIENDS. I KNOW SHE'S STILL HURTING AND I'D LOVE TO BE A COMFORT TO HER, I KNOW HER PAIN, AND I KNOW HOW MUCH TIME HURTS! WELL MY SWEET ANGEL, AUTUMN JUST CAME OVER TO VISIT, SO I'LL WRITE MORE LATER. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY

CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, HOW DID YOU LIKE KEEGAN'S MESSAGE TO YOU? SHE'S BEEN WANTING TO DO THAT FOR A LONG TIME, AND I'VE BEEN MEANING TO DO IT, BUT AUTUMN AND KEEGAN WERE SITTING AT THE COMPUTER AND KEEGAN JUST WENT CRAZY OVER THE KEYBOARD. HOW DID YOU LIKE THE FACT THAT KEEGAN MANAGED TO GET YOUR'S AND MELISSA'S FAVORITE NUMBER IN THERE, AND IT WASN'T EVEN PLANNED. SHE WAS REALLY SPEAKING TO YOU. AUTUMN GAVE KEEGAN TONS OF KISSES, JUST LIKE SHE PROMISED YOU SHE WOULD. I LOVE THE WAY YOUR FRIENDS LOVE HER! SHE ALSO TALKED ABOUT YOU TO KEEGAN AND THAT MELTED MY HEART! I LOVE THAT SHE DID THAT! JOSH W. DROPPED BY AND HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH KEEGAN HAS GROWN IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. I LOVE YOU SWEET ANGEL! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THE THINGS THAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW. I WISH I COULD GO TO YOUR GRAVE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S SO LATE AND I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE WITH YOU. I'M SO LONELY FOR YOU! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, EVERY TIME YOUR LITTLE KEEGS WAKES UP, THOUGHTS COME POURING INTO MY HEAD AND I'M UNABLE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP. I'M MISSING YOU SO! I LOVE YOU! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS! WE'RE GOING TO AUNT MINDY'S TODAY. I'LL WRITE MORE TO YOU LATER. I'M THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, YOUR LITTLE KEEGS IS IN HER PLAY YARD HAVING A GRAND OLD TIME, PUPS IS CHEWING ON A TOY BESIDE THE PLAY YARD, AND HERE I SIT THINKING OF YOU! AUNT MINDY AND I HAD A NICE TALK ABOUT YOU, AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN IS SO LIKE YOU! AUNT MINDY REALLY LOVES HER! THEY WENT A WALK TOGETHER WITH MINDY'S DOG, TWO OF KEEGAN'S FAVORITE THINGS, OUTDOORS AND DOGS. I WENT BY YOUR GRAVE THIS EVENING AND I JUST LOST IT! I MISS YOU SO MUCH, I JUST CAN'T STAND IT! JERI AND FRED JOINED ME AT YOUR GRAVE, THEY WERE SUCH A COMFORT TO ME! JERI TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU RECENTLY AND SHE SHARED IT WITH ME. (SHE WASN'T SURE IF SHE SHOULD). I THANKED HER AND TOLD HER I LOVE TALKING ABOUT YOU! I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU EVEN IF IT MAKES ME CRY, I NEED TO, I NEED TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU, WHEN PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT YOU THAT'S WHEN I HURT THE MOST! YOU ARE SUCH A PART OF ME, MY PRECIOUS BABY! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, AUNT SUSAN, EMILY, KEEGAN AND I WENT TO MARIE CALLENDER'S TO GET A LATE NIGHT MEAL. WHEN EMILY FINISHED EATING SHE WALKED KEEGAN AROUND TO KEEP HER HAPPY. A FEW PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT KEEGAN BELONGED TO EMILY, AND EVEN ASKED HER. SHE TOLD THEM ABOUT YOU AND THEY JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THEY WERE SO SWEET, ONE OF THEM GAVE EMILY A GIFT CARD TO COME BACK, AND THE OTHER CAME OVER TO AUNT SUSAN AND I, AND SAID HOW SORRY HE WAS TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, AND THAN HE GAVE ME A RETURN CARD FOR SEVERAL MEALS. HOW SWEET, I HAD SUCH A HARD DAY AND IT WAS SO NICE TO MEET SUCH A CARING PERSON. THE GIFT CARDS WERE SO THOUGHTFUL, BUT THE FACT THAT HE CAME OVER AND TALKED TO US, SO SWEET, AND CARING, THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME! HE HAD SUCH LOVE AND KINDNESS IN HIS FACE, AND AS WE WERE LEAVING THE OTHER GUY CAME OVER TO US ALSO, HE WAS SO KIND TOO! EVERY LITTLE THING REMINDS ME OF YOU! I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT I'M TAKING GOOD CARE OF KEEGAN, AND THAT SHE IS SUCH A HAPPY LITTLE BABY! SHE IS SO LOVED, AND I TELL HER OF YOUR LOVE FOR HER TOO! I'M TELLING YOU, EVERYWHERE THAT WE GO PEOPLE COMMENT ON HER. SHE GLOWS, JUST LIKE HER MOMMY! I MISS YOU MY SWEET ANGEL! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentshey sarah.. kyle and i were just thinking about back when he worked at the candy cart and i worked at the theatre and you guys would spend your work days sitting together singing the fabulous oldies the mall would constantly be playing outside!! i remember being at my work and wishing i were having as good of a time at work as you guys were. we are very sad that you had to leave us so soon but we thank you, keegan and mike again for coming to our going away party in may. when kyle and i come home from germany during christmas time we will be stopping by to visit you! Love-Janeen and Kyle
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, GOOD MORNING SWEETHEART. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! KEEGAN IS IN HER SWING WATCHING BABY EINSTEIN, WITH THE HICK UPS. PUPS IS EATING BREAKFAST. I'M GOING TO GET US READY FOR CHURCH NOW. AFTER CHURCH WE'LL BE BY TO VISIT YOU. I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
Commentshi sarah, ive been dreaming about you again. my mom thinks lindsey's roomate looks like you, after she saw her she dreamed about you too. i dont really think she looks like you, although she is really pretty. i remember when we were little and i used to say you looked like avril lavigne and you would get so mad but try and pretend like you weren't. i still get sad every time i hear an avril song. i wish my dreams were real...everyone misses you so much and we'd love to have you back. but i am sure that you are very happy where you are. keegan is such a doll. she is the best behaved baby ive ever seen and so adorable. your mom and i took her to the park and it was the cutest thing i'd ever seen. well, ill talk to you later, love you sarah
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, KEEGAN, EMILY, AND I WENT TO CHURCH. WE MET UP WITH JENNY, AUNT SUSAN, AUNT KATHY, UNCLE BRIAN, AND ANDREW. CHURCH WAS REALLY GOOD, I WISH YOU WERE THERE TOO, ALTHOUGH I'M SURE HEAVEN IS WAY BEYOND HOW GOOD CHURCH WAS! ALMOST ALL OF YOUR AUNTS, UNCLES, AND COUSINS ARE COMING OVER FOR A BARBEQUE TODAY. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE FUN, AND ALSO A BIT HARD BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT YOU. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU THOUGH! I TRIED TO INVITE MIKE TOO, BUT HE WAS BUSY. KEEGAN AND I WENT BY TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE AFTER CHURCH. SHE SLEPT IN HER CARRIER AS I WATERED YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT AND PUT FRESH WATER IN YOUR FLOWER POT. THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE TODAY. KEEGAN IS DRINKING FROM HER BOTTLE AND TRYING TO FALL ASLEEP. PUPCAKE IS ALL SNUGGLED UPON HER QUEEN BED. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE OUT BACK CLEANING THE TABLES, AND GARDEN UP, BUT I HAD TO TAKE SOME TIME AWAY FOR YOU. WHEN I WAS IN CHURCH EARLIER, I FELT SO CLOSE TO YOU BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS SO HEAVENLY! IT FELT SO GOOD TO CLOSE MY EYES AND JUST THINK ABOUT GOD, AND YOU. KEEGAN HUNG OUT IN THE NURSERY AFTER THE MUSIC PART OF CHURCH WAS OVER. THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO GET HER! SHE'S BEEN IN THERE A FEW TIMES BEFORE, BUT I ALWAYS STAYED. I TOLD THEM IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF HER, BUT RATHER IT'S HARD FOR ME TO LEAVE HER CAUSE I LOVE HER SO! SHE DID WELL THOUGH. WE ALL WENT TOGETHER TO GET HER. I MISS YOU MY SWEET ANGEL! I MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL OF THE STARS IN THE SKY, AND BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsPRECIOUS LITTLE KEEGAN, I'M SURE AS YOU GROW UP, YOU WILL HEAR THIS STORY MANY TIMES, AS IT IS A FAVORITE OF ANYONE WHO KNEW YOUR MOMMY. ONE CHRISTMAS, WHEN YOUR MOMMY WAS A LITTLE GIRL, SHE RECEIVED A FISHER PRICE CAMERA THAT SHE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT. SHE WOULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, AND YOUR AUNT JENNY WAS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THAT CAMERA. YOUR AUNT JENNY KEPT ASKING YOUR MOMMY, "SARAH, MAY I PLEASE SEE IT", AND YOUR MAMA WOULD TURN HER SHOULDER TO YOUR AUNT JENNY BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE IT UP. YOUR AUNT JENNY ASKED HER REPEATEDLY, AND YOUR MAMA HAD NO INTENTION OF LETTING GO OF IT, SO I TOLD YOUR MAMA TO SAY "MAYBE LATER", SO YOUR MAMA SAID "MAYBE LATER, MAYBE LATER, I SAID MAYBE LATER, I'M GOING TO GO PUT IT IN MY ROOM WHERE NO ONE CAN GET IT"! PUPCAKE REMINDS ME OF YOUR MOMMY EVERY TIME I GIVE HER A RIB BONE, SHE RUNS OFF TO YOUR ROOM AND HIDES OUT FOR A LONG TIME. AS SHE RUNS OFF, I CAN ALMOST HEAR HER SAY "I'M GOING TO GO PUT IT IN MY ROOM WHERE NO ONE CAN GET IT"! I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART! MOMMY LOVES YOU TOO! LOVE GAMAMA CommentsMY SARAH, AS OUR FAMILY GATHERED AT OUR HOME TODAY I FELT YOUR ABSENCE. YOU ARE CONSTANTLY ON MY MIND. I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, AND THAT MAKES ME SAD. ALL I WANT IS FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT MEMORIES OF YOU. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID TO LET THEIR FEELINGS SHOW EITHER. IF THEY CRY, THAT'S OK ALSO, IT SHOWS THAT THEY CARE, IT ACTUALLY TOUCHES ME. IT'S WHEN PEOPLE TOTALLY AVOID TALKING ABOUT YOU THAT I FEEL SO LONELY! YOUR LITTLE KEEGS GOT SO MUCH LOVING AND ATTENTION! UNCLE RICHARD HAD A GOOD TIME MAKING HER GIGGLE, AND YOUR COUSIN AMANDA JUST ADORES HER, AND LOVES TO HOLD HER! YOUR COUSIN CHRIS HELD HER FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I COULD SEE HIM STUDYING HER TO SEE YOU. THE LAST TIME THAT HE SAW YOU WAS AT GRANDPA'S FUNERAL, RIGHT AFTER KEEGAN WAS BORN. I COULD TELL THAT HE FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT WHAT TO SAY, SO HE SAID NOTHING AT ALL. I JUST GAVE HIM A HUG, AND TOLD HIM THAT I LOVE HIM. WE HAD A LOT OF YOUR FAVORITES FOR DINNER. WE HAD STEAK, CHICKEN, MASHED POTATOES, VEGETABLES, RICE, AND OF COURSE YOUR FAVORITE (HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS). I CAN'T LOOK AT HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS WITHOUT THINKING OF YOU! AFTER DINNER SOME OF US WENT INTO KEEGAN'S NURSERY. AUNT LINDA LOVED ALL OF THE PICTURES OF YOU AND SHE GOT CHOKED UP WHEN SHE TRIED TO TALK ABOUT YOU. IT WAS NICE GETTING TOGETHER, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. THAT WOULD BE FUN! I HOPE THAT I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS TONIGHT! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsI close my eyes and i still wish that this was a dream.... you are so missed sarah and It's not fair that you were taken away so early from us and especially baby keegs. Keegan- you're mommy loved you more than anything. She glowed at the thought of you before you were even born! She was the best mommy ever... Sarah I miss you so much! Words can't explain this...
CommentsMY PRECIOUS SARAH, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY OUTSIDE. I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SIT IN THE GARDEN WITH KEEGAN AND I, BUT YOU'RE IN GOD'S GARDEN, MUCH BETTER THAN MINE. MY GARDEN ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU THOUGH. KEEGAN IS IN HER PLAY YARD, SO ACTIVE, AND MAKING ALL SORTS OF NOISE. PUPCAKE IS WANDERING AROUND THE HOUSE, JUST LOOKING TO GET INTO TROUBLE. WE HAVE A BUSY DAY AHEAD OF US, BUT YOU'LL BE VERY MUCH A PART OF IT. I'M THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN CUT HER FIRST TOOTH YESTERDAY. YOU CAN FEEL IT MORE THAN SEE IT, AND BOY IS IT SHARP! I LOVE YOU SARAH! LOVE MOMMY
CommentsKeegan is growing up to be so beautiful, just like her mommy. I do not go a day without thinking about you. i always so go through all my old pics of us in our cat dog shirts and when you pushed my face in my cake..lol..Calling each other every monday to sing the 7th heaven song...If I could i would take back the times we stopped talking to each other. but through it all we still always remained friends with one another since 6th grade..I have great memories with you and they will never be forgotten (trust me) I love you!
CommentsMY SARAH, I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS! I GOT A LOT DONE TODAY, AND IT FELT GOOD. KEEGAN AND I WENT TO SEE BETTY LOU (THE PRECIOUS WOMAN THAT PUT YOUR FUNERAL RECEPTION TOGETHER) AND SHE WAS SO SWEET. I WANTED TO HUG HER AND THANK HER, AND TELL HER HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER FOR MAKING THE RECEPTION SO PERFECT! SO MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, AND SO SARAH! SHE IS THE MOST AMAZING PERSON, AS I WAS THANKING HER SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ELSE SHE COULD DO FOR US. SHE HAS SUCH A KIND, THOUGHTFUL HEART! I TOLD HER MORE THAN ANYTHING I JUST WANT HER TO BE MY FRIEND, AND GIVE ME HUGS. SHE SAID "YOU'VE GOT THAT" BUT SHE WANTS TO DO SO MUCH MORE. HER CARING HEART MADE MY DAY! WHEN I GOT HOME AUNT SUSAN AND AUNT KATHY CAME OVER TO HELP ME WITH THE DOCTOR FILES. IT'S SO HARD ON ME TO KNOW THAT EACH OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF PAPERS ADDS UP TO YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, MY HEART ACHES WITH AN UNBEARABLE PAIN! I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD HOW PAINFUL IT MUST BE AS I WENT TO FUNERALS OF YOUNG PEOPLE, KNOWING HOW MUCH I LOVE MY GIRLS I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD OTHERS PAIN, BUT IT'S UNIMAGINABLE, AND IT DOESN'T GO AWAY. YOU JUST TRY TO TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES. I DO TRY TO APPRECIATE EACH DAY, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW. PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THAT THINGS LIKE THIS ONLY HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT IT HAPPENED TO US, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO BE RIGHT WITH GOD. YOU ALWAYS HEAR THAT, AND SOME PEOPLE THINK OH I'LL DO IT TOMORROW", BUT TOMORROW MAY NOT COME. KNOWING THAT YOU KNEW THE LORD IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I'M ABLE TO FIND ANY COMFORT IN THIS AT ALL. I LOVED READING THROUGH SOME OF YOUR JOURNALS ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE GOD, AND HOW YOU COULDN'T WAIT TO MEET HIM. I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN LOVES CHURCH SO MUCH, AND I ALWAYS TELL HER THAT GOD LOVES HER, AND MOMMY LOVES HER TOO! HER LITTLE FACE IS SO PRECIOUS WHEN I PLAY THE VOICE BOX WHERE YOU TELL HER THAT YOU LOVE HER. SHE NEVER FAILS TO SMILE THE BIGGEST SMILE, I THINK SHE KNOWS HOW SPECIAL IT IS! SHE LOVES KISSING YOU PICTURES, AND I KISS THEM TOO! I TELL HER HOW MUCH WE LOVE MOMMY, AND THAT MOMMY LOVES HER TOO! SHE IS THE SWEETEST BABY! I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO SAY "DON'T SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HER, CAUSE SHE'LL DO THE OPPOSITE", THAT IS SO TRUE! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING WHAT A SWEET, GOOD BABY SHE IS, SO YESTERDAY SHE CAME UP WITH A FAKE CRY. IT'S ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! SHE SQUISHES HER NOSE UP, AND CLOSES HER EYES, AND WHINES A FAKE CRY, THAN SHE PEAKS TO SHE WHAT REACTION SHE'LL GET. IT IS THE FUNNIEST THING! I CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH, AND THAN SHE LAUGHS TOO. SHE'S DONE IT FOR A FEW PEOPLE AND THEY CRACK UP! AS I WAS WRITING THAT, SHE MUST HAVE KNOWN BECAUSE SHE WOKE UP FUSSING, WHAT A SILLY BABY. AUNT SUSAN WATCHED KEEGAN WHILE AUNT KATHY AND I WENT TO COPY THE FILES. WHILE WE WERE OUT AUNT KATHY AND I WENT TO VISIT YOUR GRAVE. SHE ASKED WHY THE GROUND HADN'T GONE DOWN, I SAID BECAUSE IT'S SARAH, YOU KNOW HOW STUBBORN SHE IS. WE SAT IN THE GLIDER BENCH AT YOUR MEMORIAL SPOT AND VISITED FOR AWHILE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND I ENJOYED IT. PUPCAKE, SUGAR, YOUR DAD, KEEGAN, AND I SAT OUTBACK IN THE GARDEN THIS EVENING. KEEGAN WAS LAUGHING ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND THAN SHE'D DO HER FAKE CRY, AND GO RIGHT BACK TO LAUGHING. SHE LOVES THE FOUNTAIN SO MUCH! YOUR DAD TOOK HER ON A LITTLE WALK WHILE I WAS MAKING DINNER. WHEN I CALLED THEM IN, THEY WERE VISITING WITH FRED AND JERI. THEY LOVE KEEGAN SO MUCH! LATER, STEVE AND SUE CAME OVER. THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH KEEGAN HAS GROWN. THEY GOT SUCH A KICK OUT OF HER FAKE CRY. SHE FELL ASLEEP IN MY ARMS, AS USUAL, AND I TREASURE EACH MOMENT WITH HER! PUPCAKE IS SO CUTE, SHE COMES OVER TO ME AND WANTS ME TO PICK HER UP, AND I GIVE HER LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOU TOO! YOUR BABIES ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF! I KNOW IT'S NOT THE SAME, AND SOMETIMES I'M ALMOST JEALOUS OF MYSELF, THAT IT'S NOT YOU, BUT IT'S ALL THAT I CAN DO, AND I AM SO HONORED TO BE DOING IT FOR YOU! AUNT SUSAN HAS BEEN SO AMAZING, SUPPORTIVE, HELPFUL, AND COMPASSIONATE! SHE LOVES YOUR LITTLE KEEGAN SO MUCH, AND ALWAYS BRAGS ABOUT HER! I FEEL SORRY FOR ANY OTHER BABIES BECAUSE SHE THINKS NO OTHER BABY COMPARES TO KEEGAN. I'D HAVE TO AGREE! LATER THIS EVENING I GOT SOME HURTFUL, HEART BREAKING NEWS, NOTHING I CAN SHARE, BUT PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! SOMETIMES I THINK HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE, LET SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE A TURN, BUT THAN AGAIN I WOULDN'T WISH ANY OF THIS UPON ANYBODY. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE LORD WHAT WOULD I DO. IT'S STILL HARD, BUT I COULDN'T IMAGINE ANY OF THIS WITHOUT GOD. I'VE HAD A FEW PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THEY ARE UPSET WITH GOD ABOUT YOU, I TELL THEM THAT I LOVE GOD, IT IS MAN THAT I AM UPSET WITH. IT MAKES ME SAD THAT THEY ARE UPSET WITH GOD. EVEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS PAIN I CONTINUE TO WORSHIP HIM! AFTER ALL, YOU ARE IN HEAVEN, IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD'S GLORY. HOW COULD I BE MAD AT GOD, NO IT IS MAN THAT I AM MAD AT! I AM HOWEVER SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERY MOMENT, AND MEMORY THAT WE SHARED! YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART! I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES, AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! I ALWAYS KNEW THAT YOU WERE AMAZING, BUT YOU WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY AT THE LIVES THAT YOU TOUCHED. THERE WERE 321 PEOPLE AT YOUR FUNERAL, AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, JUST AS YOU WERE! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE AND ADORE YOU! I THINK OF YOU ALWAYS, AND CARRY YOU WITH ME EVERYWHERE THAT I GO! I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT YOU, MY PRECIOUS SARAH! MY PRIDE AND JOY! I AM SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN THAT YOU TURNED OUT TO BE! YOU KNEW YOURSELF LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN IN ANOTHER PERSON! SO MANY PEOPLE ADMIRED YOU! YOUR HUMOROUS PERSONALITY NEVER FAILED TO PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE! SO MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT YOU! I MISS THAT SO MUCH! I MISS YOU! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
CommentsMY SARAH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I'M HAVING COMPUTER MONITOR PROBLEMS SO I'LL BE BACK LATER TO WRITE MORE. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS! I MISS YOU BEYOND WORDS! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER! HUGS, KISSES, AND FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR. LOVE MOMMY
