Johnny Boy – my heart hurts for you and your sister because I know you miss her and will miss her forever. The silver lining is that she is still with you in Spirit, and is 100% pain-free and at peace. Love you dearly, son.
I will always remember your sweet spirit, kind and gentle! Such a precious person! You are now where you are pain free and at peace, I must think on that. I wish comfort and peace for your family! Love you, Annie
Well, here we are, folks. Sarah, my friend of fifty years, has moved on to whatever’s next. And in the grand absurdity of it all, I can’t help but marvel at the life she lived. From the start, Sarah was a beacon. Not the kind of flashy, obnoxious light that blinds you, but the steady, warm kind that draws you in, comforts you without asking anything in return.
She was sweet, gentle, kind—traits that, if we’re being honest, are in short supply these days. It made her something of a rarity, didn’t it? A person who just made life a little easier for the rest of us by being around. And boy, did we need that. Sarah faced this absurd dance we call life with a resilience that would make even the hardest cynic pause. Cancer came knocking, over and over again, but Sarah? She just smiled, rolled up her sleeves, and carried on.
She never stopped caring, never stopped loving, even when the universe threw everything it had at her. That takes guts, my friends. She lifted us up, even when we should’ve been the ones carrying her. It’s something, isn’t it, to meet a person who makes life seem a little more bearable just by existing?
And now she’s gone. We’re left here feeling the weight of her absence, and it’s heavier than words can say. But we’ll carry on, because what else is there to do? And we’ll keep her with us, in the stories we tell, in the way we try to show the same grace she did. Sarah’s gone, but her light? It’s sticking around.
