I could always count on her to have my back.

Thats who Sarah was … a loyal friend and a voice for those who didnt have one.

She was a true giver, always serving and sharing her talent and time.

I am heartbroken, as I know all of her loved ones and fans are.

But I know that Sarahs spirit and all that she has given to the world live on.

And I pray that her precious memory brings us peace and comfort.

Rest in power my dear sister.

I love you always!
