• We were saddened to hear of the untimely loss of Sarah. Our memories of our time with Sarah, Bertha, Sam and Ruben are filled with the wonder of youth with the fresh faith in love of Jesus. Our hearts go out to her husband and children as they miss the love of their lives. - Posted by: Perry and Debra Melnychenko (Friends) on: Feb 25, 2012

• It has been many years since we last Sarah but we have never forgotten Sarah, her parents, step-mother (Dorothy) and siblings when we lived in Winnipeg. It is with true sadness and regret that we learned of Sarah's illness and recent passing. May God continue to strengthen her husband, children, siblings and Dorothy in their time of need. - Posted by: Dick and Linda Zaversnuke (Friends) on: Feb 25, 2012

• My heartfelt condolences to all of Sarah's family and friends including her family-away-from-home, the HR gang at DND. I had the good fortune of working with Sarah a few years ago at DND and feel privileged to have known such a beautiful person. She had a mischievous giggle and a terrific sense of play. Work was always a fun place to be when Sarah was around. I am sure there will be no shortage of "Sarah stories" to tell to help keep her memory and spirit alive. My thoughts are with you all during this sad time. - Posted by: Darla McFarlane (Former Colleague) on: Feb 24, 2012

• I first met Sarah at work a few years after I moved to Winnipeg. Although we didn't work in the same office back then, we were closely located and we were both pregnant (each with our 2nd child) so we had a lot in common to chat about. Shortly after our maternity leaves, Sarah came to work with us in Human Resources where she stayed from that point on. I will not ever be able to count the amount of laughs that I had in the 18 years I have known her that she was responsible for. Sarah had an unbridled sense of humour and an optimistic outlook on life that was unique, from the heart and completely infectious. If there was laughter coming from anywhere in our office, Sarah was at the centre of it. The most honestly happy person I have ever had the privilege to know, Sarah made me laugh when I thought I would cry, and she turned every lemon thrown her way into lemonade. I will always remember her as the fiercely proud and devoted mother she was, a woman completely and passionately in love with her husband, and the person who made every day I went to work an adventure. Keith, Brandon and Tyler: Your wife and your mother was one class act, but you already know that. Kathy Smith - Posted by: Kathy Smith (Colleague and Friend) on: Feb 23, 2012

• Sarah was a very special person. Even though we had lost touch with each other, we had reconnected in the past 6 months during her illness. Sarah and I were roommates when we attended boarding high school in Alberta and there was never a dull moment with Sarah! She was always full of life and making us laugh. My condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Karen (Welch) Dobbin (friend) on: Feb 23, 2012

• My condolences to Sarah's family.... I was terribly saddened to hear about Sarah's illness last summer and when I contacted her, she was still the giggly, positive person that I remembered. Sarah and I had worked together for several years until I moved to Ontario in 2000. She praised her family for being patient with her and expressed her love for them many times in our conversation. We will all sorely miss this lovely lady! - Posted by: Karen Clark (Friend and former colleague) on: Feb 23, 2012

• My deepest condolences to family. Sarah leaves this world with some of my deepest of secrets. Secrets shared over a glass of red during our many travels together a few years back. She was one who created an instant comfort where one felt comfortable openning up to her. One day we will meet again to continue this profound understanding that we once shared. I admire the deepest of love she expressed for Keith and her children. She always said she was the luckiest girl in the world. It is us who are the luckiest, for having had the opportunity to have had known her. Sarah, you will be dearly missed. - Posted by: Carole Chandler (Co-worker) on: Feb 22, 2012

• Sarah and I worked together at DND for a number of years. Every time we met, she had a smile on her face. She was like a ray of sunshine - with a cheeky grin and a twinkle in her eyes. Sarah supported our efforts to implement a new human resource computer system. She did an excellent job in the Prairie Region and was asked to take the lead nationally. Sarah demonstrated strength, determination, sensitivity and optimism as she dealt with difficult and sensitive issues. I was honoured to call Sarah my friend and got to spend time with her during her illness. She demonstrated those same traits as she fought her courageous battle with cancer. She showed strength and determination in her attempt to fight this disease. She was so optimistic - always making the best of each situation. But the trait I will remember the most is her sensitivity. Sarah helped me deal with her illness. Sarah loved her "boys" - all 3 of them. She talked about them all the time and always said how proud she was of them. I could see why as I watched them support her during her illness. We'll all miss you Sarah but we're better having known you. - Posted by: Terry Murray (friend and co-worker) on: Feb 22, 2012
