I know it's been a very long time, but I still can see Sarabeth in my mind as that sweet little girl at St. John's every Sunday who Sean, Heather, and Mahlon thought was so cool. She had such an amazing smile. I know that there is nothing that can be said to take away the pain you are feeling, but know our prayers are with you all at this sad, unbelievable moment and will be always. God bless Sarabeth and all of you. Take Care.

My prayers go out to Sarabeth's family. The news of her passing shocked me, as I'm sure it did for many, many people. I did not know her very well, but growing up in Harrison, everyone seems like extended family regardless if you are blood related or not. Sarabeth and I were more friends on Facebook then in person. So, I will miss her comments/opinions on my post and also her own posts. God's speed.
With much sincerity,
Annette Woolston

Rest In Peace Sarabeth.
