There are no words to express to you to take away your pain you are feeling, but please know we are all thinking of you and sending our love to you all during this sad time. Sarah Ann was always pleasant to be around and I am honored to have known her. Barbie, one memory I will always have of your beloved sister–remember when we were going into her house one day and that rabbit jumped out from underneath the front door step at me, and you and Sarah Ann stood there and roared laughing because I must’ve jumped about 10 feet high…this is a memory of which I will never forget, just as you All will have many, many memories of her. Barbie, if you need anything, please let us know. We are here for you. God Bless You All. xoxoxoxoxo

To Sarah’s family – I was totally shocked to hear of Sarah’s sudden passing. I always enjoyed Sarah coming into Memory Lane with her constant smile. (She always liked to have a little chat before leaving the store). My thoughts are with the family during this very sad time.
Corina & Willis Huphman
To Brad, Robert, David, Julie, Barbie and Families – our thoughts are prayers are with you all at this very difficult time…we still can’t believe she is gone…we all became friends at Hibernia and that friendship blossomed into very special friendships, we have so many wonderful memories from the lake…washer toss, bingo, yardsaling, potlucks and just sitting around the fire…camping at the lake will never be the same as our camping family chain has been broken…may you rest in peace my dear friend…until we meet again!!!
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m FREE,
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to Love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found my peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
O yes, those things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undo grief.
Life up your hearts, and peace to thee,
God wanted me now he has set me FREE
Gone but we will NEVER forget you Sarah…
Love Willis & Corina

Brenda Munroe, Andrew Freeman, and Vicki Lewis & Family
Brad, Robert, David and Families,
We are so very very sorry for you loss. I don’t know how you must be feeling as a husband, or sister or brother, but as a child who has lost their mother I can certainly relate. It is the hardest thing in your life to deal with. But always remember: GOD DOESN’T GIVE US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE”. You will never forget and the pain over time lessens from what your feeling right now. But never goes away. Our advice is remember the funny things she said or did, or the words of wisdom she told you that at the time you really didn’t take heed in. They help comfort you in the days ahead. Know she is always watching over you and loves you more than you could ever imagian. Take care of all of you and god bless you all.

tracy wamboldt
so very sorry to hear of your loss. sara was a special person always ready with a joke or a smile. her crafts were beautiful and are scattered everywhere throughout the province due to the many sales and fundraisers she contributed to. i will always remember picking at her about the amount of canned pepsi she bought, i always teased her about that and the joke was that between her and barbie they must own stock in pepsi corp. its particularly hard when such things happen so quickly…you don’t get any warning.days to come will be hard but time will ease the ache ….remember her as she lived…with a smile.
