Testimonial from the Cooper Family:<\/p>\n

Hi Sarah.<\/em><\/p>\n

You made what started off being very traumatic time become a time of something of extreme love and sharing. You took the bull by the horns from the moment you first walked into our turned upside down, chaotic, grieving lives, you were able to guide us into an orderly and somewhat absolute peaceful path. You have a wonderful gift Sarah and according to everyone I spoke at the service a very special way of delivering and sharing it with grieving souls. It was even suggested to me by several people that it was the best service that they had ever attended.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you again with deep gratitude and a truck load of love.<\/em><\/p>\n
