"Dear Clint, Alex & Sierrah and Brandon,Our hearts are broken at your loss and you are in our thoughts and prayers! Sarah was such a great example of honesty in being herself. She was loved and very loving and accepting of others. She was one of my (Susie's) favorite Sunday School teachers because of her openness, humility and personal honesty. She has been missed as we moved away and we know her passing has left a big hole in everyone's lives she was a part of. God be with you all until you meet with her again!"
"Clint and FamilyI am so sorry to hear of Sarah's passing. She was such a fun person to be around. I met her when she worked in Roosevelt and did my hair. I always had a hoot when I went into the salon and spoke with her. She brings a smile to face when I think of all the fun times we had in that salon. My hope is that you all find comfort and peace during this trying time."

"I am so blessed to have known Sarah. I remember when she was my Sunday school teacher when I was little and some Sundays she would forget that it is fast Sunday and bring us treats, we always had to promise secrecy and not tell bishop!:) I loved her testimony, her outlook on life and the gospel which she shared with all the young women in our ward. Girls camp was a hoot with boy advise and Laughing so hard it turned to tears and stomach aches. I love that she opened up to anyone that she knew may need strength or a friend. I love you Sarah!"
