I am feeling so very sad. We found out this afternoon that our sweet friend, Sarah passed away. She was 37 years old. Just two months ago she was diagnosed with leukemia. She was so many wonderful things to so many people. Most importantly, she was a child of God and lived each moment reflecting His glory. I haven't met many people like that....ones that truly embody the sweet spirit of Christ nearly every waking minute. She was the beloved wife of Scott, blessed mother of Hannah, Noah, Jonah and Rachel, precious daughter to Becky and Allen, mentor to many new moms, and treasured friend to countless ladies.
I just can't find words or even feelings to help me understand or explain her passing. Hundreds prayed and prayed for her miraculous healing. Many days we felt we were on the cusp of it as things were looking up. I am not questioning God's decision. I just wish she was still here.
Please say a prayer for Sarah's family and friends.

I am so with you. I am greatly saddened by Sarah's passing and am just a flood of emotions. I know that she's even now awaiting the reward that will be hers when God calls the righteous home. But as a husband who loves, AND NEEDS, my wife very much, I cannot possibly imagine life without her. And for that, my heart goes out to Scott and his kids. I pray that God will help us, and most especially Sarah's family, heal from our hurting and truly see that this is a time to celebrate that one of the saints is now in line for her reward.
All because of Him,
Tim
I love you honey! This is so hard for all of us. I have no words and I won't throw out any platitudes...just know that I love you, and that the nearness of God is our good.

This is my other blog, which I posted the lyrics to a song which helps me at times like these...
Jaime, I should have said this before, but thanks for being real. Scott & Sarah have been so transparent through these past 2 months. They would be honored by your sincere words and honest feelings.
I am so sorry for the loss. I will pray for your healing as well as all who knew and love her.
Kelly and David became friends with Scott and Sarah during the time they lived there. We prayed for them over Thanksgiving. I'm so sad to know that that family lost their precious wife and mommy. I'm so sorry for the loss you, your family, and your friends are feeling. We will be praying for Scott and his children.
I am so sorry that you are hurting over the loss of Sarah. I recently lost a dear friend to cancer. I will be praying for you and all of the women that were very close to her. Please let us know if you guys need anything.
Oops...by the way...the last post was from Laura Mundie....sorry...
Jaime- This is Amanda's sis, Erin. I read your blog tonight and wanted you to know that I have had the same exact questions. I just don't understand why God would take Sarah- especially when so many of us were praying for a miracle. Even my kids who have been praying for Sarah since she got sick are asking why God let Sarah die. I wish I knew- if for nothing else so I could tell my kids. And Sarah's own kids.....the questions they must have.
What I've been trying to remind myself is that Sarah never questioned God throughout her whole ordeal. She always said that God would use this situation. He did, He is, and I believe He still will.
Thank you for your words- your honesty.
Hey- and thanks for being such a good friend to my sis.
So sorry Jaime. We will be praying for everyone.
Jaime, I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry, I'll pray for everyone's healing.
Hey Jaime. Been thinking about you and sarah's family. We're praying still. I know it makes the holidays rough. Love ya! Laura
