This whole world suffers without her in it...

Lorraine, I'm so sorry...you know best of all how wonderful she is.
Kimberley, I'm sending you some very special love and You were so lucky to have met them in person.

Thanks, Linda. I know it! We spent hours over the dinner table at a restaurant in Frederick, MD...We closed the place down, actually. It was like we'd known Sarah forever, and Lorraine, too. Sarah was an open book, truly a good soul.

Sheila, thank you for the update.

I'm so sorry about Sarah. I didn't know her, but everytime I saw her picture, her face lightened my day.
Continued prayers for Lorraine and and their families and friends.

So very sad. I think Sarah's legacy to us would be to seize the day, to never give up, and to find joy and humor in life. That's what I carry with me from her.

She was a very special presence to our community. She still is.

Blessings and peace to Lorraine....

I can't express how much this saddens me. I feel such a great loss and I only knew her online. I can only imagine how special she was in real life.

Sarah - may your spirit be soaring tonight.

Lorraine, may you find peace and comfort in how she touched so many lives.

I can't believe that Sarah is gone. I hope that she knows how much she meant to all of us. I know that these past couple of years she has spent more time dealing with her cancer than her weight and in somewhat of a selfish way I wish she could have been here a bit more so we could have let her know how much she inspired us. But I know she knows that already. She was such a great person, every post burst with her enthusiasm for life. She will be very much missed.

Wow. My thoughts and prayers are with Lorraine right now. Like so many others here, I only knew Sarah through her posts but she was truly an inspiration. There may be one less angel on earth tonight - but I take comfort in knowing that she is at peace and no longer having to fight.

This is such an incredible loss to the world. Sarah touched my life as I am sure she has touched others. She made me feel ridiculously special and was a friend even if we only met across the internet. She was SUCH a gifted storyteller - her posts made me laugh and cry. I am so unbelievably lucky to have been even a small player in her life.

One of my favorite memories of Sarah was when she first when in to the doctor's for her flu-like symptoms and they talked about her "rapid weight loss" and she defiantly and proudly said that wasn't a symptom of her sickness - it was a lot of hard work --thankyouverymuch!

Lorraine, my heart goes out to you tonight.

This breaks my heart.

May she rest in peace, and may Lorraine and those close to her find comfort in her legacy of inspiration and love.

So unfair.

This is so, so sad. Lorraine, my prayers will be with you and your families that you will soon feel comfort after the loss of Sarah. May her spirit be with you for the rest of your days.

I am very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with her family.

Prayers go out to her family during this hard time.

Man this sucks. My thoughts to her friends and family.

I didnt really know Sarah. But her and Lorraine and their family are in my prayers. I just thank God that she is no longer in pain. GOD BLESS YOU SARAH..... Rest in peace

I am new here, but feel the loss of her, from what Ihave read she has meant a great deal, and touched many lives! I have many thoughts & prayers for her family & life partner!
