Well girlie, Happy 21st birthday! It's a great coincidence that I saw one of your classmates this weekend at OHS (working my daughter's bball game), Colter, and we were talking about many of your friends and in my head I was thinking of you and how much you guys all loved each other! You will forever be so many people's Valentine! Until we meet again....Love to you and your family here! Mrs. "B" Berneking

Miss Sarah,
I have been thinking of you this whole week at school! I have a drawing of you up always on my file cabinet and knew this is the week you were born to heaven (that's how I think of you)! You and your classmates are a huge memory of my teaching career and I will never forget you! Peace to your family and friends! Love, Mrs. "B" Berneking

I have spent a lot of time this year (after retiring) thinking of former students. Sarah will always shine as a young lady who thought of others' even as she always gave her all. She truly made her mark in Osceola while God worked through her here. Prayers and hope to family and friends...

I see Sarah in every snowmobile class I teach, I did not know her but I feel as if I lost a member of my unit in the service. Each year I share her story with the class, This year I will have each student look Sarah up them self's With the hope that they will have some connection to such a terrible tragedy. Just maybe with Sarah's help we can prevent this from happening again. Thank you for allowing me to post. Jim Piilola Hurley Wi.

Hi kiddo!
Not sure exactly why, but today and the last few weeks, I've really been thinking of you and missing you as a part of your class. I have many of them back in class as sophomores and you will always be such a huge part of them. I have your book mark from your "celebration of life" and look at it all the time. This morning when I was running I saw a falling star and a little bit of northern lights.....they always remind me of the angels watching us in heaven! I have the picture Cora drew of you up on the wall in my classroom! You are always with us! Praying for everyone who misses you to have God's strength with in them!

Sarah, We are missing you especially today on the day that you went to be with the Lord one year ago. It seems like just yesterday you were here with us in Buck Ridge: swimming in Edling's pool, playing with Comet, or "dancing with the bears." You gave us a beautiful sunny day yesterday for your Memorial Walk, and were smiling down on everyone as they walked in your memory. I miss you everyday, sweet Sarah, but can't wait for the day when we will see each other again.

Dear Sarah & Family,
One whole year has nearly passed since we saw that smile and heard that laugh. I truly do think of you everyday. I pray for your family and friends, and I am so grateful to know that you are safe and sound with the Lord. :) Love and prayers always and forever...
Remember what your 4th grade memory book said, "No matter where you go...no matter what you do...Mrs. Funk will always love you. "
