Hello Sarah; been a year that you had the surgery and you were having a good recovery so you are supposed to be in my dreams and all happy dreams. The moon is real big and full like you always liked so maybe HE is going to let you in the dreams. Still love you more than you love and you can't argue this time so HAH

Hello best bride ever. It is about 430 am and once again I cant sleep. I've slept about seven hours in last 3 days as every time I go to bed  I get thinking of you and just lay there and cry and praying for relief from all this crumbling I am doing now. I rode over with Denise and Joey to his moms grave sight today and it hurt. I wish I had talked you out of cremation as today is the first I have been to since you have been gone. I wish you would have let me bury you because the spiritual thing or something is just not the same with you in the urn in the other room. It is nice in the other room but just not the same but I am still going to because I promised you and you were right about people never coming to see you as they don't but I wouldn't have forgotten as I go to the Greenwood boat dock we used to go to all the time at least 3 times a week just to sit there and think about all the relaxing time we spent there just watching the river and just sitting doing nothing. I'm just letting you know I still miss you very bad and would give anything just to have you for 1 day to apologize for being such a lousy husband and dad when I was younger so please forgive me. LOVE ALWAYS

Hello little firecracker--just wishing you a happy 4th.That ky life that I like was showing wildflowers from around the state. I know you would have really liked it. Enjoy the fireworks as I know you got the best seat for all of them. LOVE you and missing you worse by the day.

well hey mamaw I made it to 21 and guess what im going to the police academy. you always told me to follow my dreams well you being my hero and best role model im following my dreams to better myself and everyone around me. I love you and cant wait to be with you in heaven!

Hey good looking I need to apologize for forgetting to write you on our anniversary as you know I never once forgot it but I did remember I just forgot to write. I got you some awesome flowers white and trimmed in pink all the way around and went to Red Lobster for dinner like we always did. That's probably why I forgot this as had a few to many beers. Now the good part. You know how you were always mentioning going to church and I just blew it off I got saved the Sunday before our anniversary so I hope that is kind of good gift for you so it looks like maybe your influence finally kicked in and you saved me (thank you).I sure wish I still had that ole palm tree that you liked so much. I remember the day I tossed when I turned around the look on your face. Why did you let me toss it. I am truly sorry for the little things you wanted to do like my Ole Kentucky H0me. The Christmas Hotel at Pigeon Forge that I never got around to doing with you and no telling how many other things. I guess I really wasn't that good as a husband but your big forgiving heart and patience of Job I'll never forget how you rubbed my arm and said it's ok your only a man you can't help it. People kept telling me things get better but this don't as I still cry missing you almost every day . Still loving you  much as always. Just wishing you a happy #27 and a sad 1st for me. I still love you now as much as always and can' wait to be back with you LOVE YOU Dennis

Hello Dear;here we another Memorial Day but very different as we always talked how we should go your parents and my dad but somehow never made it.This year is very different talking to like this and don't like it all. Your star gazers are biting the dust but I got you more flowers for today so your room still smells good in there and when these go it will be our 27th anniversary so you will get more fresh ones. It is the most important date in my book but I sure dread it coming this year as it may be worse than Christmas. just want to say I love you and thanks for putting up with me all these years, I'll talk to you later

Happy Mothers Day Mom. I sure did miss spending this day with you. I love you and miss you so much. I keep reliving August 22,2012 in my head and each time it gets even harder to understand why God took you from me. I will never understand it I don't think. All I know is that life isn't the same without you here and that's all I want more than anything is to have you here with me. Mom I miss you so bad it hurts. I love you more than you ever knew it and even more than I ever showed it. That's a regret that I have to live with. I hope I'm making you proud. Please continue to watch over me, my girls and Dad. We all love you so so much. R.I.P my beautiful Angel.

 Hello MAMA-just wanted to wish you happy mothers day and let you know I still love and miss you. I bought you some more star gazers that are full of blooms that haven't come out yet so they should be really pretty.Your honeysuckles are as thick as they were last year. You would be going crazy over them. I hate to go but my fingers are tired so I'll get back with you later--love you always

hello lady happy derby day.This is our day we have never seen each other until about 7pm and you would try to calm me down.I've sure been missing you real bad last few weeks so the ones who says it goes away are full of beans.Hope to see you soon. Love you always

Hello bride,missing you worse than normal today.Went fishing and froze but just trying to clear my head.I came in your room again asking God why he took you away from me.You were so good for everybody you were around and especially me getting my head straight.I just don't get taking you intead of guys that like to beat up 4ft 11 people.I will never understand unless this is really hell here on earth and them people must stay and suffer.Miss you and love you---later by the way you rmember talk to the kids before your surgery about legacys well I'm betting one in derby for you Den's Legacy  really gone now BYE

Even though I'm late writing it, you were in my heart. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Sis. 
I Love and still miss you dearly.

hello bride just wishing you a happy valentines day a little late.Don't be mad I didn't forget you just this.You should see the flowers they were yellow roses with some kinda purple flowers mixed in they are awesome.I had Lisa send a picture of them to Boss Kelly to aggravate all the girls like you used to to but I am sorry I im a little late writing this.I know how you hated late and it's not getting better.People say remember good thoughts which is great if can stop there but after a few seconds of good thoughts then the I will never do this again hits.I just can't see myself doing those things we loved with anyone else NEVER EVER or even by myself as far as that goes.I miss you so bad with your loving laugh not here with me or seeing you reading a book just knowing you were here with me.Please come and get me cause i'm falling apart.LOVE YOU ALWAYS

Here we are finally ending this terrible year but I don't think a new yaer can help as I got kicked real hard in the face this year and I still think I'm out for the count.I can't see myself getting up after I lost you.After all you were one in a gazillion just holding me together and having patience with me all thes years as I know I was a work in progress for a long,long time but you stuck it out with me so why couldn't I stick out with you but at least I know your not hurting anymore and that means a lot if I could quit being selfish you may be better off.No I know you are as spent Christmas with Jesus.Lisa got me a blanket with a picture of you on it and I love and cuddle it every night.You always said who you are with at New years is who you will be with next year.I am wrapped in your blanket and kinda talking to you so does that count.Love you forever and HAPPY NEW YEAR

As this year ends and a new year starts, I so hope God will help our hearts heal. There will never be a day that goes by, my mind forgets you or I stop longing for understanding. But it will be a new year that I will be Thankful to God for having Sarah in my life for as long as I had her. 
Even though I still can't say good-bye, I will continue to just keep her close to me in everyway I can. 
Dennis, Jeff, Joyce and Lisa, be close to each other. Life goes by one time, one family, with Gods one gift. That is what Sarah always wanted.  Love, happiness, forgiveness and always stay family. Never let life go by with regret of what you should have done or said. She loved all of you the same and she wanted you to do the same, to enjoy life. I loved her dearly and I love you the same. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Mom,
 Missing you a lot these days. I finally got a house, wish you was here to see it and help me decorate. I'm making a wall in my living room and my bedroom of you. That way I can look at your beautiful face and talk to you everyday. Dad got all of us candles with your picture on it and I have it sitting next to my bed.I talk to you every night and your the first one I say good morning to. I miss you so much. I watched our favorite Christmas movie the other night. First time I  watched it by myself and I barely made it through the movie without being in tears. I missed getting that phone call from you telling me it was on. I love you Mom. Please continue to watch over all of us. I can't wait to see you in my dreams tonight. Miss you my beautiful Angel. Love you the mostest too.

I still miss you and cry every time you come to my mind. I pray all the time that God will allow you to come to me in my dreams so you can tell me your ok and I can heal from you being gone from our lives. Someday Sister, Someday.

Hi beautiful, just want to tell you that Im really missing you these days. Daddy helps me a lot when I go visit him. You always knew I loved talks with my daddy. We spent tonight mostly talking about you and what good you have done to our lives. Dad actually told me that he loved me first the other day. See you made him a better man Mom. Im just really sad that your not here to fully see it. Daddy loves you like no other. I hope that one day I find the kind of love that you and Daddy shared. Your an amazing person Mom even after your gone, your still changing lives. I deeply admire the woman that you were and I do hope I can follow in your footsteps. I miss our talks and hearing your laugh. I always loved your laugh. It was always so contagious and instantly brightened up the room. I love you so much my sweet angel. I cant wait to see you and talk to you in my dreams.

Hello dear,haven't talked to for a while.I went down to the boat dock and sat about two hours just thinking about how always relaxed both of us.I sure wish you were here for me to complain to you about being home on Friday.I'd give anything to have you here with me.I wish you I told you more how much you meant to me but we all just take things for granite until it's to late.I just want to thank you for putting up with me all these years especialy the first ten before you got my head right.I think you just felt sorry for me because as you always said that I was only a man and couldn't help it.I was not worthy of a lady like you and feel lucky for having you for all these years.I like another just did not appreciate what I have and you need to be here with me.I am missing you really bad especially on weekends.If you could just come back one day so I can take you to yard sales.That's all for now and please remember I will always love you and one else.

Patterson Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Sarah.  I have sat and read all of the wonderful things people have wrote about her, and even though she is not hear with us, the words about her has put a smile on my face.  Working in Airlines at NPC were the best times.  Thanks Sarah for being such a wonderful part of my life!

Hello again my everlasting bride.Everone keeps saying things get better but they are very wrong.I am missing you really bad tonight.Wish some how you could reach down and rub my eye brow and tell me things will be alright if I just  settle down.You had that magic touch for doing that and I need it tonight I am and always will be thinking of you.Love you forever

I miss you every day.I keep hearing you singing,maybe your whispering good thoughts like you always have.I lit a candle for you since I lost my light hoping maybe it'll come back.You might be gone but you're never forgotten in my heart.I love you Sarah J

God saw you getting tired
  A cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you
And whispered,"Come with Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you
 And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly
 We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
 Your tender hands at rest,
God took you home to prove to us
 He only takes the best...

    Always in our hearts,luv ya!!!

So sorry for your loss Sarah was such a sweet girl in high school

Hi my beautiful angel. I miss you so much Mom. My life has changed forever since your not around. I so badly need to hear your voice or hear your laugh or smell you but I cant and it keeps me tore up inside. I love you so so much. You were an amazing mother to me and you were my bestfriend. And I will always cherish the life that you gave me. Mom I will never ever forget you. Please continue to watch over all of us especially Daddy. I love him more than words can express and I still need him now more than ever. So please wrap your arms around him and let him know that you will always be with him. I love you the mostest Mom.

Love you forever and sure miss you

Sarah you where a childhood friend and a best friend to me. I will miss our talks together the most. You had touch my heart like so many other and you will be missed dearly by so many and I'm just one of them. Your best friend always.  Tom

Sorry i took so long but you know how I am at computer stuff.Just letting you know I still remember 1st time you said you love me at Cherokee park and I thank you for showing me how to grow up and chill and mainly for the best 30 years of my life---love you forever

This was the last picture me and Sarah took together this year. I will always have her with me and will always thank God for having her as my sister, my friend and in my life. I don't know why God would take her from us now. I only feel he must have needed her for greater things, so when I see her again we will rejoice together forever.

Sarah was a joy to be around! She always had a warm glowing personality! She brightened the day of everyone around her. She will truly be missed.

I met Sarah at NPC she always had a smile on her face and could make you laugh no matter how bad your day was going. She was truly one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew her.

I have a feeling Sarah is up in heaven making all the angels laugh. She was such a funny person, no matter how crazy things were at work, she'd be making us all laugh through it. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Wow, I can't believe you are gone.  You will be missed by everyone who knew you.  You could always make people laugh no matter what.  Shine your light on us from Heaven, I love ya girl!!!

Sarah, you will be deeply missed. You were the life of the party. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

Sarah brought the light in to any room or place she was present.You could tell where ever she was by following the sounds of laughter.She had the ability to brighten the saddest of times in anyone, that was around her.She always seemed to care about lifting the spirits of others,than her own.I know I will keep her memory with me always.She was and will stay a special person that was taken too soon.Look down on us Sarah every now and then and make us LAUGH.You and your smile will be missed by so many.Prayers sent to your family to give them strength in this saddest of time.

Sarah the last memory i have of u is when u return to work after being out on medical a few days before my last day and then after being sick and having them surgeries u still seemed to be in great uplifting spirits and made me laugh as u always did.hate to know that would be the last time i would ever see u .sure wish i made it to tell u goodbye today but just now finding out the arrangements.u will be truly missed my prayers,sympathy and thoughts go out to ur family...no worry about u cuz we know god got u now...

sorry to hear of your dear sister's passing NORMA. keeping the family in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sarah's family as well as with everyone who has lost a good friend with her passing.  Sarah said what she thought and didn't sugar coat the truth, and that is but one reason we all will be missing her smile, laugh, and support.  Heaven has become an even more interesting place.

Keeping Sarah's family in my thoughts & prayers.  Sarah was truly one of a kind...always having fun & laughing at work!

My prayers are with your family during this difficult time! The world will be a darker place without Sarah, although Heaven will become that much brighter! We love you and will miss you, Sarah;(

I have wonderfully fond memories of Sarah and her keen sense of humor. She was a good friend to me and a blessing at a very difficult time in my own life. I know she adored her children and loved her family and friends with her whole heart. She was one of a kind and will always be a part of everyone she touched. God Bless and comfort you all in your time of sorrow.

Sarah RIP my friend sorry to see your beautiful personality go but we will meet again HUGS AND KISSES i will miss talking to you very much.

Work will not be the same without your sunny personality Sarah. When I first met you in Account Boarding, I was intimidated by your outspoken personality, but that's what make you YOU! No one will ever be able to take your place. You are sorely missed..

I've heard so many great stories, how u drew everyones attention when you went into a room. You made so many smile and laugh, thank you for being who you were, you'll be missed.

Sarah what a shock it was to hear of your passing,so missed not working at NPC with you over the past 14 years . But I still remember how you cracked me up all the time. What a dear sweet person heaven for sure has laughter in it now. Many prayers to your family.

Sarah was a beautiful woman inside and out.  She always knew how to put a smile on anyones face.  She was a honest woman, and that also made her admired by all.  Sarah never met a stranger, she befriended all.  She will be greatly missed.  I will often have warm memories of her and smile and laugh.  Thank you Sarah for making a part of your life. My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Love you, Sarah!

I can still hear her laughter. There was never a dull moment with Sarah. We went to church together as teenagers and would go home with Sarah and Gale to spend the night. She had the gift of making you laugh, I believe she inherited from her dad. I have wonderful memories I shared with her. To her family, I ask God that he will comfort and ease your pain. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sarah was one of a kind and loved by so many.

My heart is filled with sorrow, my eyes are filled with tears. I would do anything right now, just to have you here. You were my inspiration you were my guiding light. I will never say goodbye or goodnight. So until we meet again thank you Mom for being my friend. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I promise you that I will continue your legacy and make you even more proud Mom. Just do me a favor. Please keep laughing and spread the joy and the love that you have given to us. Rest in Peace Mom. Rest in Peace.

You were a Beautiful woman inside and out, God has once again added another angel of life to his Group. May you now be in peace "Sarah" , and always stay by our sides to do what is good. Always will love and miss u dearly, your friend, Jennette Campbell

I'm praying for her family during this difficult time. Sarah was a joy to work with and always made me smile and laugh. Sarah you will be truely missed.

You are my angel, my friend, my mentor, my everything. My life always felt complete because of you. I can never thank you enough for being the best Nana to my girls. Brooke and Hope have and will always cherish every moment and memory that they had with you. Mom I will never forget all the life lessons that you gave me. I promise to take those with me and make you proud. Your last words to us was that your children are your legacy. And our children are ours. Mom I will not disappoint you. Just send me a sign every now to let me know your still looking down on us. I love you always always mom

I will not say good bye to you, because this is not the end, for the end only comes when you let go of what is in your heart. Thank you for being a friend! I love you and I miss you. My prayers go out to your loving family.

From one season to the next. May God provide comfort, understanding and peace to Sarah's family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Sarah passing. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.. May you be comfort with Gods strength and loving arms.

Mom you will be missed and and are loved by so many..Rest in Peace mom I know you always called your kids and grandkids angel well you are our angel now and I know you are watching over us..I love you and I'm so glad my kids had the very best grandma anyone could ask for..I will carry your love and everything you ever taught me with me always and know I couldnt have had a better teacher or mother..you are the best mom and I cant express how much of a void I have in my life without you in it..My angel

God this is  verry hard for me im sorry i hvent been around my heart is broken please come bak please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sara, you will be missed by so many.  We had a lot of good laughs at work, I could always count on you.  Will miss you so much.  But now all of your friends and loved ones, have someone to look over them now.

I am not sure what to say that everyone else has already said, except that I agree with all of them...you are truly one of a kind and you are already missed. My favorite memory is fake fighting you for Mr. Ron Byerley...I'd be talking to him and you would walk over, call me a few choices words and tell me to stay away from your man! You definitely made every day brighter, and you will be missed!

Sarah you were very much loved by not only family but friends we will miss you very much.

Rose Wineinger
Kathy Davenport
