Always ready for an adventure, Sarah loved family, flying, and roaming the back roads in British Columbia with Gordon.
Now she is in a peaceful world and continues to send her love to those she loved.

Gordon, sorry about your loss. Thinking about you. Your swimming buddy. Orest.
Gordon, sorry about your loss. Thinking about you.
Your swimming partner.
Dear. Gordon and Family
It was with heavy heart I read the passing of your beloved Sarah
As you know I was blessed with having Sarah as my room mate at the Kelowna Cancer Lodge. The weeks we spent together made our stay go so much faster.
During that time I made a beautiful friend. Sarah’s spontaneity and positive attitude was contagious. It made it so easy to fall in love with this sparkling little lady!
I so enjoyed our coffee chats once we were home from the centre, at Sarah and Gordon’s home and at our farm in Turtle Valley.
I only wished I could have visited more!
I will always remember Sarah and cherish her wonderful stories of all her travels with you Gordon …. The wonderful trips flying … To different places … The back road trips … Her stories of you and the family ….. Always told with that special “twinkle” in her eyes … !!
I did not know Sarah for a long time but in the short time I did know her she will always remain in my heart as a dear friend.
Rest In Peace my Dear Friend
