Gerry Walker and I have been patients for about 10years in the practice Sarah served and we are very sad to learn we will not see her again at the office.  Her cheer and familiarity were among the best things about our doctor's visits.  We will not forget Sarah.

Sincerely,

Craig S. Riley

Sarah, You were the one I want to love forever.  You were the one I wanted to wake up with every morning and snuggle with every night, the one I want to share my dreams with, build castles in the air with, the one whose hand I want to hold when I'm afraid, whose shoulder I want to lean on when I need support. You were the one I want to encourage to make your own dreams come true, the one I want to comfort when you need a source of strength, the one I want to hold close always.....You were the one, the only one, I want to love forever.   Love, Bill

Sarah was a good friend years ago, I will always have fond memories of her.

We will cherish all the memories we had with you and Bill. Our deepest sympathy to Bill and all her family. This is a sad day for so many of us. Rest my dear friend.

To Sarah's family and friends.  I was honored to meet Sarah at University Family Healthcare.  In the past few years I got to know Sarah more often because of my  frequent visits to the doctor's office.  Sarah new me by name and the few minutes we had at checkout time were always special.  She had one of those smiles and laughs that brightened my day and actually made my medical issues seem insignificant.  I will truly miss her and it wont be the same at the practice.  There is only one Sarah and I can't wait to see her on the other side.  You are already missed terribly. My sincere sympathy to her entire family and many friends.  May your beautiful memories of Sarah sustain you during this difficult time. I know it will help me.

Sarah.. You have been my friend for many years...I am deeply saddened by your passing. You and I have many memories, most of them good! We basically grew up as adults together. What a ride!I will miss you dearly, and I will see you on the other side my friend! To her family, my deepest condolences. Bill, you have always been there for her and I love you for that, and for taking care of her. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Ladyhawk!

I met Sarah & Bill sometime in the late 90's and we've stayed friends thru the years. Sometimes friends get lazy and don't pick up the phone just to chat, but that does not diminish the friendship. I didn't even know Sarah was sick and was shocked by her death. Bill, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Bill. Aubry & I share in your loss.. Sarah was truly a wonderful person .....

Bill, We are deeply saddened to hear of Sarah's passing , I am happy that we got to be on the same team on Thursday nights and how she would take a time out and call Aubry  and he would say well Sarah what are you thinking about doing?
