Sarah King Obituary

A full year has come and gone. Each celebration missing your shining presence. Each day missing your words of comfort and guidance. Oh Nana, how we all miss you so. We go on, only because we must, with the knowledge in our hearts that we will be together again. We will share in your joyous laughter, your kind words, and your warm embrace. How we long for that day... I cherish each and every memory we shared. You were ours. It was a long, hard year without you. There's more of that to come. We love you and miss you with all that we are, Nana.

To Nana, who shaped each of our lives in ways that define us as individuals and as a family:

Your abundance of love and your courage in the face of adversity live on as shining examples of who we would like to be. The loss of your touch leaves our skin forever longing for your warmth; the loss of your unrestrained laughter makes our ears ring with silence. Although we cannot see your smile or smell your perfume like we did before, we feel you among us and know you will never leave. You are with each of us, walking beside us along the remainder of our own paths, where in a clearing our roads as children and grandchildren; sisters and brothers; aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, will all converge and we will all be as one again. We will always belong to you and you to us; the bond transcends life and its end.

We mourn our loss and celebrate your life. You are deeply, deeply missed.

Dear Mom~

Today we stood at your grave and as we all mourned your passing, we were amazed that a year has already passed. A year of "firsts" without you...our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays...all celebrated with tears of love. We made it through those days with a heavy heart, wishing we could spend those days with you. Today I placed flowers on your grave, missing you with each passing moment. It does not get easier, I still want to call you with the latest news; Maggie's accomplishments, Luke's first words; what happened that day...I miss you so very much. Please watch over us from above. You are truly loved.

My Dear Sweet Mom,
It is so hard to believe that it has been 1 year since we said our good-bye.I know your struggle in life for I shared it with u holding your hand to the very end.I will always remember that last moment when you turned and left me with a simple smile i knew at that moment that my life would forever be changed.I would have given anything to have you stay but we all knew that you had carried the burden of cancer.But through that journey of cancer we all grew in our hearts and souls.Through you we learned so much ..I will forever miss you mom but i know in my heart u will be the one waiting for me and it will be a joy to see u again.I love u Mom

Nana,

Today is your birthday; you are 64 and I have spent the entire day wishing more than anything I could call you to wish you the happiness you have always deserved and always brought to my life. It is so hard to not be able to hear your voice, to not even be able to visit your resting place, but know that you are so much in my heart today that I am overflowing, with tears and with love.

Forever Yours,
Jessie

~Nana~
You were so dear in all our hearts you were a light of joy and I only wish we all could have had you a little bit longer. Now on Mar.20.2007 I will only cry over you and remember your love, happiness, and braveness. You are my hero and my inspiration. I love you so much my Nana, my love, and my joy.
Love,
Maggie

Dear Mom~

as the anniversary of your hospitalization nears, my heart is filled with sadness of what we lost. Little did I know that day that our time together was growing very short. I miss you more and more with each passing day. You were such a gift to all of us and you are and forever will be, dearly missed.

Love,
Deb

I dialed your number on the phone yesterday thinking you would answer, and then I remembered...

Some things get lost, some things just disappear
But not my love for you, I'll keep that close and near
Some things just fade, like scars and dreams
But I've got your heart right here with me

I can't believe you're gone, not the light I knew...

I miss you more with each passing day, Nana. Love Always, Jessie

Nana you are the greatest I love you and miss you so much!! Nana I just want you to know you are always in my heart!!!

your Daughter,
Suzy

The outpouring of love for you, for your incomparable grace, continues to flow from all who knew you. Even as we mourn, we can't help but smile when we remember all the laughter and light you brought to our lives. We are so sad that we had you for such a short time, but we are so blessed to have had you at all. All my love, always...

March 20th

Nineteen hundred forty three, Was the day she was born. The frist day my mother cried. You raised us kids and always lived right. We were safe and warm. Before you slept each night. You worked hard all through your life as a friend, a mother, and a faithful wife. Life's not easy nor is it fair. Now you are older with grey in your hair.You have always cared,and done for others. So here's a salute, To my mother....

Mom you made the days bright and happy,and the sun shone all around. You made everything cheerful, and on your face was a sweet peaceful smile.

On March the 20th life was not so kind and dark clouds of death gathered. But your love brought us days of comfort and joy, and your life made it all worthwhile. Always in my heart. I love you mom.

Mom-

As I sat watching by your bed, A millon thoughts ran through my head.

Of just how much were you aware?

Did you know that I was there?

Could you feel the love I sent, In a whispered word, Or prayer bent?

Upon my heart as I asked God,

To spare your life for my selfish cause?

So that I could tell you just once more, " I Love You Mom!" as I had before.

And we could chat like the days of old, Over coffee cups all rimmed with gold.

And laugh and joke, or just to share some small hurt and perhaps a tear.

To talk of the past, or things yet to come.

To sniffle, and sneeze, and say " Bless You!"

All these dreams now hang in sherds, As I sit here with bowed head.

And ponder on these sad thoughts.

Just to wonder " Was it all for naught?"

My love for you is never ending.

Thank you Nana for the wonderful gift you have given all of us... faith. You are missed so dearly by your family and friends. I think of you every day. I miss you so, so, so much. Please be with my mom as she takes this leap in her life and please be with my family as we start out on our own. I wish so much that you could be here today, but in my heart I know you are here in spirit. Thank you for being such an inspiration in all our lives.

Bear, Patrick and Luke

Nana~

I love you so much you are in my mind,body,and spirit! I love you so much and wish you could be here right now!!!

Mom:

AS each day passes I miss you more and more.I never guest it would be this hard.You were such an amazing woman, and what an inspiration you were to me.I will always keep you in my heart. We love and miss you so much,Terry,Ron, and Garrett

Mom. I never meet anybody that I loved more than you (besides my own family). I loved spending time with you and listening to all the stories that you had to tell, especially the ones about Cathy. You were an incredible insperation in my life and there will always be a place in my heart for you. You brought in an incredible person into this world that found a place in my heart forever, and there will never be enough thanks in the world for that incredible friendship that I have with Cat. Thank you so much for allowing me into your family. I will NEVER forget you. Love you always and forever.

Although I didnt know Sarah very long, the time I spent with her was a lifetime. They say it's not what you take with you, but what you leave behind. Sarah left with me the comfort that God creates beautiful people for special reasons. I am thankful for every minute that I spent with her, and for her wonderful daughter. My life was touched by her presence, and it will always remain a part of me. From the quiet little inspirational discussions to all the times I screwed up, and she promptly told me so. Intuitive does not describe her adequately, but gifted and wise does. The gift was given to all who knew her whether for a minute, or a lifetime.

Nana~

you were an insperation to me and still are. i look up to you as my garden angel now! you will lead me to the right path. i love you and miss you greatly. you are my hero. everyday i wake up i think about you and all the memeroies that we shared. You are my energy to gettin me u p and going to school and keepin my grades up. I know if i do something right you would always be there to support me and thats no different from right now. Even if you are in heaven you are still in my heart and i can always hear your voice to guide me. i love you with all my heart and i miss you so much!



with all my love

Mom,

I miss you more with every passing day,

I stepped into the darkness when you left me.Did you know that you empowered many lives around you while you were on this earth,you were my light to this world.You have always been the bright spot in my darkness. You will shine in such a way that you will be my star that points to heaven and that brings hope to my devastated heart.With much love and respect I keep what is worth keping and then with the breath of sadness I blow the rest away.My love for you is never ending.

Nana,



This book is a testament to your legacy. One only need browse it to see how many lives you touched. You told me once that it would all be worth it if your fight was an inspiration to just one person. Look at what you achieved -- you inspired so many. Your courage made us strong, gave us hope. Our love and admiration does not end now that you have gone. It will remain with us, and with you, always. Know that you are missed every day.



All Our Love,

Jessica, Ryan & Ashley

Mom,

Very sorry to hear about Sally. She was always a delight to take care of and talk with. She had a beautiful countenance and gentle spirit.
