Not knowing Sarah personally but just reading her blog a few years back and seeing how wonderful of a person she is and being her Catholic sister in Christ makes my heartache that she is no longer with her husband and children. I know she will be reunited some day but for now they will be separated and that just breaks my heart. What is comforting is knowing that she will be praying for them and the eternal banquet she is at. Thinking about... how our Loving Creator Must have a Loving purpose/plan for Sarah and Cecilia and everyone's heartache will hopefully be "used" for redemption of souls.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744045061238531886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-75663681668283699012014-08-03T22:48:04.261-05:002014-08-03T22:48:04.261-05:00I already commented but I thought I would throw th...I already commented but I thought I would throw this out--it's a thought that I had about Sarah and it did give me a lot of comfort. I had mentioned before on Facebook after hearing about Sarah's death that she had seen the Face of God. Thinking more about that, I began to think of the great joy that she must have experienced in those moments. And even though she might have gone to purgatory for further purification (assuming of course, as most of us will be in purgatory, though she was a very holy woman!) I know that every act of love she made, every sacrifice she made, every good deed she did, every kind word she said, every rosary she made was accounted for and noted, and paid back in full. All of these good deeds, sufferings endured and sacrifices made I know was worth it in the end to see the face of God and claim her reward. And with this happiness and joy, she had no worries or doubts about God's plan of her family. She would happily do her penance just to see the Face of God again. And you know, after I had this thought, I felt like I experienced a little of what Sarah's side of heaven must be like, and it helped me to be less sad for her and more trustful of God. I still feel sad for her family, still feel sad even for Sarah because it's hard not to think about her last moments on earth, and as I said, I will selfishly miss her rosaries, but I believe that Sarah is truly happy and is going to help her family through this.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-85663827164507197002014-08-03T21:52:01.141-05:002014-08-03T21:52:01.141-05:00So beautiful Jamie.

Yet, I find there is much hope in the fact that Sarah's legacy is helping so many mothers and families be certain they are living their lives to the fullest. I went to confession this week justincase (which I should certainly do more frequently but time gets away from me.) A beautiful soul taken too soon is helping others live in the moment and cherish their lives!

I became obsessed by her rosaries and needed this distraction after such a difficult year. I emailed Sarah and we emailed back and forth a few times about her clay creations; I ordered a chaplet for my brother from her which I think he has lost. I think about all her customers and how lucky they are to have such beautiful creations from someone who was so GOOD! I loved her work, respected her as an artist and admired her as a blogger. Even though we didn't know each other well enough to be called friends, I feel a loss and will truly miss seeing her rosaries.

I appreciate your beautiful honesty, speaking from the heart amidst such unknown and difficult feelings many of us are feeling.<br />I cried reading the last article which I hadn't seen yet. Heartwrenching to see actual pics from the funeral.<br />I don't know what else to say. My heart still remains so heavy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.com
