I was lucky to have met Sarah during a complicated time in our lives. She was the ray of sunshine I needed in a dark time, and she bonded with my young kids immediately. When we were in Seattle she came to visit us.. we ended up at Tiffany & Co. where Sarah put the employee so at ease that she convinced him to let my daughter - who was five at the time - try on a $16,000 diamond ring.
She even made the five hour drive to see us, and my kids adored spending time with her. She proudly wore the tiara they put on her, and I will always be grateful for her kindness and friendship. The world will miss her perfect smile and beautiful laugh, and my heart goes out to all her friends and family. Sarah was one in a million, and I’m so lucky to have known her.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sarah's passing. She is one of the kindest, happiest people. She always was so positive and really wanted to know how you are doing. My favorite memory is how she supported me during a flash mob at a church youth event we participated in. We were performing Footloose. I couldn't perform one of the dance moves because of bad knees and was the only one standing up doing the move while dozens of youth leaders and parents were down on their backs kicking up their feet. Sarah didn't want me to be embarrassed and be all alone, and she chose to stand up and wave her arms with me. What an angel! And now she get's to be an angel to those who need her in heaven. Love you Sarah!

To Sarah Nelson’s family and her fiancé David, I am truly sorry for your loss. Sarah was the best nurse I ever worked with! I still use tricks she taught me. I loved how she continued to keep contact with many of us, even after leaving my work place. I thought it was so sweet of her to pop in and play board games with Angelica. All the clients adored her! Just yesterday I found a speck of glitter on my cheek and I had to think, that’s her! She’s leaving her sparkle even now! I will miss that laugh, that beautiful smile, and that true kindness that was Sarah!

My condolences to Sarah's family. I first met Sarah when she moved into the house across the street from mine when she was five and became good friends with my daughter Erin who was six. They spent many fun times together playing games and enjoying music over the years. They shared a love for Broadway and movie musicals. It is a very special coincidence that they both became caring nurses. Sarah had a sweet disposition and her death at age 45 has saddened me, Erin and my family. My sympathy to Kim, Lois, Becky and her family.

Sarah was such a lovely person with an infectious smile and laugh. We attended the same ward for a few years and bonded over our mutual career of nursing. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences, prayers and love go to her family and fiancé. May you find peace and joy in her memory and a beautiful life.

I am so sorry to hear of Sarah’s passing. So incredibly sad to lose someone who is young and amazing. I haven’t seen Sarah for years but her obituary and comments show she had grown into a successful and kind person which was not unexpected. Prayers especially for Kim, Lois and Becky. ❤️

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Lois, Kim, friends and families. We did not know Sarah well, but through knowing you both and the way you spoke of her, we know she was greatly loved and brought such a joy to you. May Heavenly Father bless you all as you mourn her loss and look forward to reuniting with her eternally. Much love.

Sarah was my boss at Lakeside Milam. The first thing that comes to mind is her laugh. She wasn't just a boss but a great friend. She had so much compassion and patience. I know she was met with open arms at the pearly gates.

I knew Sarah from my time living in Bellevue while I was in 8th grade through the end of my 10th grade year. We attended church together and that included youth events and girls camp and such. Sarah was a positive influence and an encouraging presence to those around her. I don't have a single negative memory connected to her. I remember her infectious smile and her laugh. I just remember her being a good person that I was happy to know and I know that I'm a better person for having known her. We lost touch after I moved away but reconnected a few years ago on Facebook and I was happy to see that she was doing well. The world is a little bit darker without her and I know that she will be deeply missed by those who cherish her most. Thank you Sarah for having a positive impact on my life as a teenager and for being someone who left the world a better place.

Several years ago, I traveled to Washington to visit my dad and stepmom. During the flight, my granddaughter, Zoey and grandson, Noah, took a liking to Sarah (who was sitting next to me) and vice versa. Zoey sat on Sara’s lap almost the entire flight all while Sarah told her all kinds of wonderful things as they looked out the window of the airplane. She also played with Noah and he literally talked her ear off and she loved every minute of it. During this time, my daughters and I had the opportunity to talk with Sarah and learn all about her life and her love of nursing. We enjoyed each other’s company so much that we shared our Facebook profiles and stayed in touch ever since then. Noah is now 13 and Zoey is 10 years old. It’s been a very long time as “Facebook friends”. We would often comment on each other’s posts and Sarah always reached out to tell me she liked my new hairstyle or to give me updates on her life And she never missed wishing me a happy birthday
A total stranger, who became a good friend in just one single flight. She was kind and loving and had the best laugh. I remember her fondly; especially when the flight ended, and she hugged all of us super tight as though we had known her forever. It’s funny how God places people in your life at unexpected times and they become forever friends. We were so lucky to have met her.
We lost an angel on earth. So sad to hear the news of Sarah is passing. My condolences to her entire family. She will not be forgotten.

Sarah was such a delight and felt like a member of my family. We spent lots of time just sitting around talking, sharing, laughing and crying. She was a wonderful friend to my two kids, Brandon & Amy. She was so kind and compassionate, always willing to help. She was a beautiful singer and an even more beautiful soul. Even though I wasn't in touch with her in the last few years, I have always held her in my heart. Sarah, I miss your smile, laughter, and beautiful, kind eyes. Lois, Becky, and Kim: I am so, so sorry for your loss. I'm sorry I won't be at the service, but know that I am there in spirit and I hold you close in my heart.
