Dear family of Sarah, My condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. I wish to share some comfort from the Bible at this sad time. The Bible teaches that one day in the near future our Creator, by means of the ransom sacrifice of his son Jesus, will reunite us with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection right here on earth in paradise conditions that will be filled with peace, happiness and perfect health for everyone. (John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:10,11; Isaiah 33:24) As you read the above texts in your Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us, along with loving memories bring you a measure of comfort during this most difficult time. Sincerely, David L. Cowles

My deepest sympathy to Sarah's family. Sarah was our groomer for our yorkies which she fondly called "her girls". She took such good care of our girls and she will be missed my me and Emmy and Keely. Rest well Sarah.
