I am a little appalled at some of these responses. First, Sarah was unmarried and did not have children though she considered her four cats her "kids". I will be keeping these until better arrangements can be made. Please, forgive my oversight and offense for not posting an obituary while I deal with the death of a good friend. Amazing. While she may have considered the members her friends, I'm new, and at this point have no desire to post an obituary out here for the hordes of Internet users to view. I will however be more than happy to pass on good wishes to the family. I'm really trying hard not to be angry at some of the responses her. I will ABSOLUTELY NOT prove the death of my dear friend so some of you will accept it as truth. I assume I'll also need to post pictures of her lying in the casket before you accept this. You may disable my account, I will not be back, having fulfilled the wishes of Sarah by letting you know. - Mike

I come bearing the saddest of news and with a heavy heart, my name is Mike and Sarah and I were good friends. I'm not LDS but she and I were still able to maintain a good friendship and I consider her one of my best friends and companions. Sadly, she has passed on. She and I spoke often, especially during her stay at the hospital this last week, and I tried to visit her as often as possible. She let me know about this site and how comforting it was to be surrounded by friends. She spoke very highly of this place and people like Pam and Hordak. I'm sure I'm forgetting some names so please forgive me. While the details at this point are very sketchy best I understand is that they had identified some tumor growth in her abdomen as a result of the PET scan, it was not strictly isolated to her brain like before. The performed surgery because the tumor was in an operable location. As a result she developed MRSA and a blood infection. The chemotherapy she was going through put an additional strain on her system. I may be leaving out some details, my life is hectic now and filled with sadness. I feel that I've lost a good friend and hope God takes care of her. I hope to get to see her again when I pass. Services will be held this Wednesday and any kind words or wishes will be passed on to the family. I will be personally attending the service as a pal bearer and speaker. Before she passed, the day before, she asked should anything happen to her to please let you know. Sincerely, Mike
