Brad,
you don't even know me, but my heart is broken along with all of you and your family. Jane and my husband are 2nd cousins , I think. I love Jane dearly. I have watched your wife and her siblings grow up, and have always admired them. Chrissy and Mike are the same age as two of my children and we all love all of you. I sent an email, but I want to tell here the same thing. I am praying for Heavenly Father to bless you with REVELATION. He knows WHY this has all happened, and I cam imagine that you want to know HIS PLAN. He knew it was going to be painful, and I know everyone is mostly praying for you to be comforted. I am praying for that too, but most of all, I know you will be comforted IF Heavenly Father will let you know what HE is Thinking. We know that He knows best, but because you are a faithful Son of God, He will tell you too. I send my love and all the love of my family. Love, Karen Esplin
WE are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you and the kids. We will miss her. She was such a kind and loving person with a sweet spirit.

Brad,
I have been reading through your blog and I'm struck by what a wonderful mother sara is! I also have always admired the relationship the two of you have. I loved seeing you ride around on your Harley or walking hand in hand. I could tell you were in love.
Sara was Macall's primary teacher. He said sometimes those boys were so rowdy they made her cry. So she brought popcorn and treats for them if they were good. Then he said on the last day she taught them she cried because it was her last time. What a special person. I remember her smile, I remember sitting on the side of our pool talking with her. She was so sweet! Last November/December while I was going through surgery and treatments from thyroid cancer she left me a message on facebook. I have been trying to get back into the swing of life and I only wish I could have been there more for her. Please know I would love to help your lovely family in anyway I can. Olivia just loves Annie, and we have enjoyed her playing at our home lately.
My heart is aching but I feel impressed by the spirit that Heavenly father is well aware of your family and I know he will take care of you.
Much love form our family to yours,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I am Kristen Harris' sister, and you don't even know me, but I just wanted to send my sincerest condolences to you and your children and let you know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. My little boy Taylor passed away four years ago, so I know the pain of losing someone you love. But I also know the amazing power of our loving Savior who is so willing to walk with us and take away our pain. How grateful I am for the knowledge of eternal families, and the promise that we will one day be reunited. What a glorious day that will be! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Brad & kids, You are in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss. Sara was such an amazing friend, mother and wife. And she will be missed. I know with all my heart Heavenly Father has a plan for her and for your family. He is mindful of you and loves you. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
From our family to yours,
Love Bracken's
Brad,
I was going through old pictures today to see if I could find any of Sara. I was able to find a couple of her Glamour shots she did while in high school and several from us haning out and killing time while you were on your mission. The best is the one of her, Jenni, Raelynn (Jason's wife) and me. We were all going out for the evening just so Raelynn could see Jason. Any way I am putting them in an envelope to bring to you on Friday. Maybe you have them and maybe you don't but I am sure you will enjoy seeing them. Sending love and prayers you way.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I didnt make it to the viewing but I did get to the funeral service and it was a beautiful service in Sara's memory. My daughter went to school with her and I knew of her through her mother Jane. I worked with Jane at the city office in utilities. I wanted her to know how much I love her and my prayers are with her and Rog and especially to Brad and the kids. All my love - Kim Lake
Brad,
The funeral was beautiful!!! Our prayers are with you and your little ones!!!
We love you all!!

Brad,
Not sure at all why I have been thinking so much about you lately.
I find myself thinking a lot about Sara, and have ever since Virginia told me what had happened.
I can't begin to say I understand.
The last few weeks the impression kept coming, to find you somehow. I don't even know if comments to this blog are retrieved (???)
After the 50th time or so of having the promptings to make contact, I decided maybe it was a " real " prompting, and not just myself.
As I said, I don't even know why.
If you do get this, let me know!
It is hard to believe that all these years have passed. Jacob and Katelyn are the same age. I can't believe he has the Priesthood and goes to joint activities now.
I am sure you are fine. You have lots of friends and family there.
I just wanted to make sure I followed through with this prompting so I can feel better.
I know Sara watches over you when she can. How could a mother not. I pray for you often, and your children. You can find me on FB if you like. I am in the Seattle area.
Take care.
Angela Brady ( now Krois )
