I miss you, it's crazy how it's almost been one year without you and I feel like your going to walk in my room standing there telling me it was all a dream. The day will come when I see you again but until then I will always remember you as my best friend and the time we had, even though it was short. I hope your watching over me and is there with me in high school like we had planned. I love you Rah. xox

Dear Sarah, as I sit at my desk this morning I thought its time to let you know that I have been able to get to know you through all your great family and friends. Wow what a remarkable young Girl you are. Recently this past spring some great friends introduced us to Eagle Brook Church, I not only found Jesus Christ there , but I also found you there too. You my friend are truly a blessing from God. You will always " have a special place in my heart " Prayers and thoughts to your family and your friends. God Bless

Sarah! I was really looking forward to talking to you this year & actually getting to know you! It sucks knowing that your still gone to this day, next month will be a year. Time flies by so fast. It's incredible how strong your friends are and family! We miss you lots & hope your doing safe up there

Hello Sarah,
So, it was rough starting Freshman year without you. Its almost been a year... A year since we lost someone, so dear to all of us. We all love and miss you... <3

Your smile, your laughter
-Only a memory.
Your voice, your personality
-Only a memory.
Sometimes people mention your name.
Some just keep quiet.
But no matter what is or isn't said.
You're always on someone's mind.
About 8 months have gone by,
But it seems like only yesterday,
You were by your family's side.
We can only think of who you'd be,
To us, you only remain a memory.
It's been a while since you've been gone.
For your friends and family, things just aren't the same.
It still doesn't seem real.
Who holds the blame?
If love could have saved you,
You'd still be here today.
The love we hold for you,
Will never change.
As you lay in a still rest,
God broke our hearts to prove he took the best.
Everything you did, everything you were.
It's only a memory.

Hey rah just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I miss you, I love you so much. Cant wait to make more memories when I see you again. I am so lucky to have gotten a best friend like you even for the short time but I cant wait to bestfriends for much longer when I see you next.
Xox, Dougie.

Words cant explain how happy and lucky I was to consider you one of my best friends Sarah. So grateful for our memories, inside jokes and lazy days we had together. No words to describe how much us girls miss you. Thanks for always being so great, rah. Love always bean

Dear Sarah, I'm thinking about you today more than ever. You're forever in my heart & always on my mind. Miss you. Love, Tara P.S. Happy birthday!

I am thinking about Sarah and her family during this holiday season. She brought so much joy into my fourth-grade classroom. I hope that her family can experience some joy, even in their sorrow, during this season. Lots of prayers...

Sarah's face in the library/classroom was a teacher's encouragement With a gentle smile, listening and attentive eyes, she was helpful and kind to her classmates.

What a wonderful legacy Sarah has left for her fellow students here at Osceola. She will be forever missed and forever loved.

"I hope your dancing in the sky,
and i hope your singing in the angels choir,
and i hope the angels know what they have,
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived" ~ Dani & Lizzy

Sarah, you have touched the hearts of so many people with your story. I too did not know you personally. On behalf of all of snowmobile safety instructors, your spirit will forever live on. God took an angel. May your spirit bless all of those lives you have touched directly and indirectly. You will forever be remembered and you will always have a special place in our hearts.

although I did not know you personally you have affected my, and everyone around me in a unfathomable way. your story has touched everyone of our hearts so personally and words cannot describe what we are feeling. this morning I watched a room full of snowmobilers feel the pain of losing a friend we have yet to meet. thoughts and prayers go out to your family- A Wisconsin Snowmobiler

The loss of this beautiful young lady will forever change the way snowmobile safety instructors think - all any of us want is for the kids to be safe, enjoy snowmobiling. She will never be forgotten. Our prayers for this family, Sarah's classmates, family, friends, the safety instructors, and all of Osceola, Wisconsin.

Sarah, I also did not know you personally. However, my daughter Raychel (who is a 6th grader at OMS) did. Her words to me after hearing of your passing."Mom, she was so nice and so pretty. She was always happy and so easy to talk to!" So in otherwords, an AWESOME person! May god bless your family. I hope it brings them some comfort knowing what a very special guardian angel they now have!

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love."  Leo Buscaglia

We miss you so much already Sarah. I wish I would have had the chance to get to know you. We will always love you and you won't be forgotten. You are forever in our hearts. Rest in Paradise Sarah <3

From the moment she came into earth she was a gift, to when the day she left us to realize she was a blessing. Miss you Sarah

Our prayers are with you and your family, Jay. May God bless you.
Joe and Casey

May God Bless the Thorsland family.

May God be with you and your family during this time. Sarah will be watching over all of you and guide you during the hard times.

Sarah - you have left a mark on this world!! Its pretty evident by all the incredible memories being shared by your friends, family and loved ones. Osceola lost a special girl, but gained a beautiful angel.

Sarah, you will always be one of my daughter, Natalie's, closest friends. All of my memories of you are you smiling & having fun with Nats, & you even taught me the word "perf." Thank you for being a wonderful friend to Natalie & thank you for the positive impact you had on our lives & for the wonderful memories you leave in our hearts. We will miss you, Rah. Love, Tara

I will miss that smile and just plain you cheering on your big sister and all the other girls at the ball games. I know for a fact you will be cheering from a much better place. .. heaven!  Take care of your family and friends down here... they will need you throughout their life.

Sarah, I will certainly miss you around the neighborhood. You could light a room up with your smile and bright personality. I remember you as a sweet little girl and how you "exercised" with the backyard bears. You were kind to all of those around you and were loved by many. I know that you are at peace in heaven now and know you are looking down on all of us. Love you hunny <3

Rah, you had a smile that could indeed light up a room, you were also very pretty. I can't believe that you are gone, because I was just playing volleyball with you on Thursday, and every time I think about how you passed away, I never believe it's true. I'm sorry that I never had the time to really get to know you. "To live in hearts we left behind, Is not to die." -Thomas Campbell. <3

You had a awesome smile and you still do fllying up high with the angels in the sky I know god will take good care of you, WE ALL LOVE YOU

R.I.P

Sarah, I remember when we first really met when you were in 1st grade and Rebecca went to AWANA with you. You were such a blessing in our lives! I love your smile and how sweet you were to everyone. I am blessed to say I knew you! You will forever be in my heart!

We are going to miss our little neighbor Sarah. All of us in Buck ridge loved you and will miss you always. The pool won't be the same anymore.

RIP SARAH! My son Drew and the 8th grade class lost a beautiful young lady!

Sarah. I’m half a county away, near Niagara Falls, but reading the story of the tragic accident and your mother’s heroic efforts brought this grown man to tears. A fellow snowmobiler.

Sarah, you were certainly a beautiful soul. Please hug your Mom and Dad, I know they miss you immensely. Your mom is one of the strongest people I know, so guide her through this tragic time, and lift her in his love. Bless you sweet girl.

Sarah, I officially got the chance to meet you towards the end of the summer near Osceola Fair time. I remember not being able to find my friends so I randomly decided to introduce myself to you and your friends. We shared laughs and stories in just a little amount of time, but I'm glad God blessed me with the chance to meet you. You're truly an amazing girl. Osceola will truly miss you.

Sarah, may your smile forever be in the hearts of all who knew you and may they forever keep your memory alive.  You may have left this earth but now walk in heaven and watch over your family. Do not forget to give them wonderful hugs to help them through their days without you. Dance with your new wings!!! You are so beautiful.    Joy (Thorsland) Steffel
